The rain began halfway through the drive back from the gala. At first it was a light drizzle, but by the time they left the city behind, it had turned into a steady downpour. Water streaked across the windshield in endless sheets, the wipers working furiously as Chase drove the car through the darkness.

Noah sat in the passenger seat, one elbow against the window, his cheek resting in his palm as city lights gave way to empty roads and dark trees. He was exhausted from the gala, everything abou

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Hammer

    Yost Ice Arena smelled like cold steel, sweat, and sharpened skates. The familiar scent hit Noah the moment he stepped into the locker room Thursday morning. The guys were already there, some were dressing, others stretching or arguing over music. Reid was trying, and failing, to convince Mason that his playlist deserved locker room privileges. For the first time in two weeks, however, there was an extra buzz in the room, because Chase Voss was back.Noah slowed near his locker. He had expected something different, an awkward silence, maybe, tension or resentment. After all, their captain had deliberately sabotaged a game and gotten suspended."Look who finally got paroled."The room erupted in laughter as Chase entered, duffel bag over one shoulder and his hockey stick tucked beneath his arm. He didn't miss a beat."Missed you too."Reid jerked a thumb at Mason dramatically, "I had to listen to this idiot sing during conditioning."Mason looked offended, "I have a beautiful voice.""

    The rain began halfway through the drive back from the gala. At first it was a light drizzle, but by the time they left the city behind, it had turned into a steady downpour. Water streaked across the windshield in endless sheets, the wipers working furiously as Chase drove the car through the darkness.Noah sat in the passenger seat, one elbow against the window, his cheek resting in his palm as city lights gave way to empty roads and dark trees. He was exhausted from the gala, everything about it had felt fake. The expensive clothes, the polite smiles, the conversations about generosity and scholarships happening over thousand-dollar bottles of wine.Every person in that room had looked like they had never worried about money a day in their lives. And there he had been, a scholarship kid in a borrowed ten-thousand-dollar suit, and he couldn't believe his life had somehow become this ridiculous.Chase drove with one hand on the wheel, his eyes fixed on the road, the dashboard lights

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   A Deal

    The gala looked like money had built it from the ground up. A string quartet played softly near the stage. Wealthy alumni and corporate sponsors filled the space in tailored suits and expensive gowns, their laughter blending with the clink of glasses and low conversations about investments, athletics, and donations. Noah hated every second of it. It was Wednesday night, he was supposed to be with Eli, instead he was here, a guest of Adrian Voss. How cliche.“You look miserable,” Chase’s voice came from beside him, smooth with amusement.Noah adjusted the cuffs of the black suit jacket that very obviously belonged to someone richer than him and shot Chase a flat look, “Because I am.”“You could at least pretend you belong here.”“I don’t.”Chase smirked faintly. This was the assignment his father had given to them. Attend the charity gala and secure a supply deal.“You’re wearing a ten-thousand-dollar suit,” he said quietly. “Try not to look like you stole it.”The ballroom doors opene

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Admission

    Saturday nights after home games usually belonged to the team. Win or lose, there was always somewhere to be, someone hosting, some excuse to avoid sitting alone with the outcome for too long. Tonight was no different. The Black Ice had won. Not by much though, but enough.The locker room still buzzed with leftover adrenaline as equipment hit benches and players shouted over one another while changing out of gear. Someone had music playing from a speaker, while someone else was already arguing about a missed call in the second period. Noah sat quietly at his locker, unlacing his skates."Heyes."He looked up. Reid tossed a towel over his shoulder, "We're heading over to Chase's."Noah's hands paused, "What for?""The suspension's over tomorrow." A few lockers down, Mason laughed, "Basically a welcome-back party.""It's not a party," another player argued."It literally involves beer and terrible decisions," Mason countered, "That's every team gathering."Laughter followed and Noah lo

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Saturday Plans

    Two weeks had passed since the kiss. Two weeks of silence, and two weeks of Chase Voss acting like Noah didn't exist. Noah had expected it to end, he had expected Chase to get bored eventually, and slip back into old habits, but Chase had doubled down.Every discussion session felt the same now. Professional, polite, and distant. Noah hated it. Not that he would admit that to anyone. Especially not himself.The discussion session ended with the same efficiency it always did. Chase wrapped up the final topic, assigned the week's memo, and dismissed the class."That's all for today."Chairs scraped across the floor, backpacks zipped, and students began filing toward the exits. Noah remained seated. His notebook was already packed and his pencil sat untouched on the desk. Still, he lingered.Across the room, Chase was organizing papers behind the front desk and the sight irritated Noah more than it should have when a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts."You're gonna be alone Saturda

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Ignore

    A week had passed since the kiss, and absolutely nothing had happened. Noah had expected consequences because Chase Voss was not the type to let something like that go. He had expected insults, threats, maybe a punch to the face the next time they were alone. Something dramatic that felt like Chase. Instead, Chase had done something far worse. He had ignored him.At first, Noah hadn't noticed it. The first day had been easy enough to explain away; Chase was suspended from hockey activities, no practices, no film review sessions, no games. So there simply weren't many opportunities to run into each other.The second day felt a little strange, the third day started feeling deliberate, and by the seventh day, Noah was certain Chase was avoiding him. And somehow that annoyed him more than all the arguments they'd ever had.Noah sat near the back of BA100 and watched students file into the classroom. The discussion session wouldn't start for another minute. His notebook lay open in front o
