On Thin Ice With You Chapter 105 - Intermittent
The second half of training opens with Coach Danny's whistle and ends, for most of the guys, with their lungs on fire.For Elias, it ends the same way it started—controlled, relentless, and somewhere just past the edge of what's technically necessary."I genuinely thought he was going to run me into the boards," Rick says during the break, leaning against the boards with his helmet dangling from one hand. "Like, looked me dead in the eye and kept coming."Lucas uncaps his water bottle. "That's because he's been like this all week.""I'd say it's good for your reflexes," Tyler offers, pushing off the wall. "Call it therapy.""Therapy for him, maybe." Lucas glances at Elias, who's standing a few feet down the boards, rolling his right shoulder. "You know what I saw yesterday in the locker room? Him standing in front of his phone. Not on his phone. Just staring at the screen."Jason nods. "I saw that too."Elias doesn't look up. "A man can't look at his phone.""At your lock screen?" Luc
On Thin Ice With You Chapter 104 - Yearning
When Mia finally drifts awake, the winter sun is bleeding through the edges of the heavy blackout curtains, pooling across the floor in bright, warm patches.She reaches for her phone, squinting at the screen. It is nearly eleven in the morning.She climbs out of bed with a slow, feline stretch, her joints popping in the heavy silence. Wrapping a cardigan over her shoulders, she pads downstairs.The ground floor is a sanctuary of warmth, the scent of expensive tea and woodsmoke hanging in the air.Ethan is a rare sight at home on a weekday. Dressed in a charcoal sweater and gold-rimmed glasses, he is leaning back into the sofa, absorbed in a medical journal. Beside him, Alice is peeling an apple, the red skin spiraling down in a single, unbroken ribbon.Mia pauses at the base of the stairs, capturing the cinematic domesticity on her phone before Alice looks up and catches her eye."Sleeping Beauty awakens," Alice teases, her face brightening. "Did you sleep well?""Better than well,"

Mia texts Elias while the bath is running.[Mia]: Washing up first. Back in twenty. Don't go anywhere.His reply arrives immediately.[Elias]: I'm not going anywhere.She puts the phone face-down on the shelf and gets into the bath.Until the water starts cooling, she gets out, wraps herself in the thick cotton robe and pads back to her room.Tonight she's in her own bed, in her own room, and that's sufficient.She props herself against the headboard, pulls the duvet up, and calls.Elias answers on the second ring.He's outside, the early Toronto morning visible behind him, his breath faint in the cold air. His hair is damp from training, and the light at this hour catches the lighter strands in it."You're in bed," he says, taking in the scene with evident satisfaction."I'm in bed," she confirms. "In Milan. Where it is nearly midnight." She settles deeper into the pillow. "You're absurdly awake."Elias watches her through the screen, his gaze anchored to the way she looks—tousled, w
On Thin Ice With You Chapter 102 - Almost
The table looks like a small, satisfied disaster—almost nothing left, the serving dishes scraped clean, the bread basket empty.Alice stands and begins collecting plates with the quiet contentment of someone whose work has been properly received."I'll bring these in," Ethan says, already on his feet, stacking the larger bowls.Mia sees her moment. She gathers the remaining scraps into the bin liner, ties it off, and picks up her phone from the sideboard in one smooth movement."I'll take the rubbish out," she calls toward the kitchen. "Get some air."Her voice trails off as she reaches the entrance hall, and then the front door closes behind her.***Mia walks back from the bins slowly, phone in hand, checking her messages.Lisa has sent three messages—work-related, the early-riser's version of a greeting. Elias hasn't sent anything yet, which means he's still in training. Ellie definitely hasn't sent anything, which means she's still asleep.She puts the phone back in her pocket and
On Thin Ice With You Chapter 101 - Home
Milan in December has a particular quality that Mia has never been able to describe accurately to anyone who hasn't lived it.The winter sun comes in low and flat across the Lombard plain, filtered through the characteristic grey-white overcast that settles over the city from November onwards and doesn't lift until March. People from elsewhere call it oppressive. Mia has always found it intimate.She stands outside the arrivals terminal at Malpensa and breathes it in."Mia—here!"Alice Conti has spotted her before she's finished looking. She's standing and waving at the barrier with Ethan Conti.Mia lets go of the suitcase handle and puts her arms around both of them at once.For a moment, nobody says anything."You've lost weight," Alice says, stepping back to look at her properly."I haven't," Mia says."Your face.""It's the jet lag. And the cold." She holds her arms out. "Look at me—I'm fine.""You look pale.""I'm always pale. I've been pale since birth. You were there."Ethan ha
On Thin Ice With You Chapter 100 - The Final Play
The car is no longer a vehicle. It is a sanctuary, a pressurized chamber where the outside world has ceased to exist.In this private corner of the parking garage, Elias is the sole arbiter of time, the one who decides when the clock starts and when the world stops.His focus shifts, narrowing down to the soft, breathtaking reality of Mia beneath him. He moves with a quiet, predatory grace, his large hands finding their way under the layers of her winter clothes.Mia's breath hitches. She feels his palms, broad and warm, mapping the curves she's kept hidden.To Elias, she feels like a miracle. As his fingers knead the supple fullness of her breasts, he feels the frantic beat of her heart against his palm. The sensation is addictive. She yields like soft clay under his touch, her body molding itself to the desperate strength of his hands.He's mesmerized. The way her skin pales against the dark knit of his sweater, the way she fits perfectly in his grip.Suddenly, his thumb brushes aga
