Elias's hands roam restlessly across Mia's back, his palms searing through the fabric of her clothes as he drinks in the intoxicating heat of her skin.

Just as the air between them thickens, the rhythmic thud of footsteps echo from the hallway. Driven by a raw, guilty reflex, Mia shoves Elias back, the force of it surprising them both.

They stand a few feet apart, chests heaving in a ragged unison, neither looking particularly composed.

Mia's cheeks are a vivid, incriminating crimson, and her l

  • On Thin Ice With You   Chapter 135 - Bright Futures

    Spring comes to Toronto the way it always does.The snow retreats by degrees, leaving behind wet pavement and the first tentative green along the university's pathways. The city shakes itself out.Mia notices it in the light first, the way it comes through the apartment windows, landing differently on the kitchen counter, on the small things she's accumulated during the months of living in a space that began as temporary and has become, quietly, familiar.At the training facility, the tempo has been climbing for weeks.The regular season is in its final stretch, every match carrying playoff implications, and the atmosphere in the building reflects it.Mia moves through it with the easy authority of someone who's been part of the rhythm long enough.But she's not expecting Danny to find her on Tuesday.The meeting room is small and functional. Danny settles into the chair across from her."I want to thank you," he begins. "On behalf of the team. Not just for Weston's numbers—for all of

  • On Thin Ice With You   Chapter 134 - Secret Nest

    The Toronto Raiders' locker room is thick with post-victory adrenaline and relentless banter, a space where the players' physical exhaustion is masked by rowdy, infectious energy.From the doorway, Coach Danny and Anderson observe the chaotic scene with the weary, fatherly affection of men watching overactive toddlers."The day after tomorrow...that's the last game of the month, isn't it?" Danny asks, his eyes tracking the players.Anderson adjusts his glasses. "Yes. Shouldn't you know the schedule better than I do?"Danny sighs, shaking his head. "I'm just realizing these boys need a break.""Etched deep," Anderson agrees, tapping his clipboard."The season is a meat grinder," Danny mutters, his gaze settling on a specific corner of the room. "But look at Elias. The kid hasn't changed a bit."Anderson follows his gaze to Elias. While the other men look haggard, Elias is radiant, his movements fluid and precise. "There's a difference between men and gods, Danny." He checks his watch.

  • On Thin Ice With You   Chapter 133 - Territorial Claim

    On a quiet Sunday morning, the air in the penthouse is still.Mia stirs, drifting out of a deep, dreamless sleep. The first thing she registers isn't the light, but the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen.She smiles against the pillow, the soreness in her muscles a sweet reminder of the man currently making her breakfast. For the first time in her life, someone else is holding the playbook, and Mia finds she doesn't mind being on the winning team.She sits up, her body aching, a silent testament to the "overtime" Elias insisted on last night. Shaking off the sleep, she slips into one of his discarded jerseys and pads out of the bedroom.Elias is hovering over the stove as he flips a French baguette in the pan. The table is already set, a silent tribute to her hunger."Good morning," he says, turning just enough to catch her eye. "You're finally awake. Just in time."Mia leans against the doorframe, crossing her arms. "I heard about yesterday's game. An easy win, I assume? No drama

  • On Thin Ice With You   Chapter 132 - Living at Zero Distance

    The maintenance on Mia's apartment isn't just slow, it's practically stagnant. The timeline for her return stretches from weeks into an indefinite, hazy future.Mia has a strong suspicion that the puppet master behind this administrative nightmare is currently occupying the other half of her bed.When she confronts him, Elias just tilts his head. He swears he's been "breathing down their necks" to get the work done.But as the days blur into weeks, Mia finds herself caring less and less about the sabotage.The truth is, luxury is a seductive trap. Her creative touches have transformed the bachelor pad into a home, turning his show-home perfection into something lived-in and warm. Besides, the appeal of a shorter commute to the Training Center is impossible to ignore.It makes sense to stay. It's practical. It's efficient.At least, that's the lie she tells herself until the sun goes down.The cohabitation became official the moment Elias hauled the bulk of his wardrobe over from his o

  • On Thin Ice With You   Chapter 131 - Morning Surrender

    Where words fail, skin speaks. They are two meteors colliding, sparking a fire that consumes them entirely in a wave of crushing, breathless heat.The first time is a frantic, desperate claiming—but before either can fully process the earth-shattering reality of what they have just done, they dive relentlessly into a second, more demanding war of attrition.By the time the first pale, misty light of dawn creeps through the sheer curtains, the evidence of their ruin is everywhere. During their fevered progression toward the window in the middle of the night, they only manage to yank the innermost sheer layer closed. There is absolutely no time—or spare hands—to deal with the blackout blinds.The soft light is a moot point. Mia is utterly incapable of standing on her own two feet anyway.At exactly 6 AM, Elias opens his eyes. It is a full thirty minutes past his usual, unshakable biological alarm clock. His piercing blue-gray eyes slowly focus on the creeping morning light.He lies stil

  • On Thin Ice With You   Chapter 130 - Bedroom

    "See? You're already so much softer for me," Elias whispers against her ear.He isn't wrong. Under the guise of "relaxing" her, Elias has effectively stripped away all her tension.Mia rests her cheek over his heart, her breathing syncing with the heavy, frantic thudding in his chest. They are completely insulated in their own private bubble, the gruesome horrors on the screen completely failing to break their romantic spell."Do you want me to rewind it?" Elias asks eventually, though he doesn't loosen his grip on her by a millimeter, fully anticipating her answer."No," she murmurs, her voice thick with sleepiness and contentment. "It's late. Time for sleep."She shifts slightly. "What's your plan tonight? Are you taking the couch?"It doesn't look like he has any intention of heading back to his usual apartment."Mhm," Elias hums a low, noncommittal note.He nuzzles her hair, his eyes tracing the flushed pink of her cheeks and her kiss-swollen lips in the dim light. A tender, resol
