Chapter 7 : Anchors in the Dark

Cody Brennan

"I can't—I can't breathe, the sling is caught—"

The door slammed open before I finished the sentence, hinges cracking against the wall hard enough to rattle something on the dresser. Light spilled in gold from the hallway, and then two shapes filled it at once, blocking most of it out again, moving fast enough that I barely registered them crossing the room before they were already on me.

"Cody." Hunter was on his knees by the bed before I'd ev

  • Monsters on Ice ( 18+)   YIELDING STEEL

    CHAPTER 18 – YIELDING STEEL ATLAS KANE “Don’t look away from me now, Hunter—you heard exactly what I said.” My hand was still locked around the back of his neck, thumb resting over the heavy thud of his pulse. Hunter’s eyes were wide and dark, and for the first time in six years of shared ice and shared violence, I saw real shock in them. Cody sat frozen on the counter behind us, chest still rising hard, lips parted, watching every second like he couldn’t look away. Hunter’s voice came out rough. “You don’t get to say shit like that and just—” “I get to say exactly what I want,” I cut in, calm. “And right now, I want you to let go of Cody’s waist and put your hands on the counter where I can see them.” For a moment, he didn’t move. The old rivalry flared in his face — the same look he wore when we used to drop the gloves in the corners. Then, slowly, his hands left Cody’s body. He turned under the pressure of my grip and set both palms flat on the kitchen island. The thick musc

  • Monsters on Ice ( 18+)   Third Wheel

    Chapter 17 – Third Wheel Hunter Conner “Am I interrupting a private moment, or do I get a say in what happens in this house?” Atlas had Cody backed against the kitchen counter, one hand adjusting the collar of Cody’s hoodie to hide the bite mark Dr. Keller had questioned hours ago. Cody was looking up at him with that open, trusting expression that used to be mine alone in the hospital. The sight of it made something ugly and panicked twist under my ribs. Atlas didn’t even flinch. “We were discussing how to handle Keller’s report.” “Looked like more than talking from where I stood.” I stepped into their space, close enough that my chest brushed Cody’s shoulder. “You’ve been really quiet with him since we got back. Whispering. Touching. Acting like I’m not even in the fucking room.” Cody’s eyes flicked to mine, startled. “Hunter—” I didn’t let him finish. I grabbed him by the hips, pulled him hard away from Atlas, and lifted him onto the counter in one motion. His back hit the u

  • Monsters on Ice ( 18+)   Claiming Ground

    CHAPTER 16 – CLAIMING GROUND CODY BRENNAN POV “Stop looking out the window, Atlas—come back to bed and put your hands on me.” Both of them turned. Atlas still had that cold, calculating look he got whenever the outside world threatened us. Hunter was pacing near the glass, restless energy rolling off him. The photo scare from last night hung in the air like smoke, but I was done letting it own the morning. A week ago, I would have rather died than said those words out loud. A week ago, I still thought of myself as straight — the clean-cut rookie who dated girls when he had time and never looked twice at the men in the locker room. Now, the thought of either of them leaving this room without touching me felt unbearable. The shift had been violent and fast. One injury, one feverish night, and suddenly the only thing that made sense was their hands on my skin and their cocks inside me. I didn’t recognize the version of myself who could feel this greedy, this certain. I only knew I di

  • Monsters on Ice ( 18+)   The Unit

    Chapter 15 – The Unit Atlas Kane “Sit up and look at me, Cody—you’re safe, I’ve got you.” Cody’s hands were still shaking when I pulled him off the couch and into my lap. I wrapped the thick throw blanket around his bare shoulders, tucking it tight, and checked his wrists. Dark red fingerprints were already blooming into bruises. His pulse hammered under my thumb. Hunter stood a few feet away, chest heaving, eyes wild, still half-hard and looking like he wanted to climb right back on top of Cody. I didn’t raise my voice. “Look at his wrists, Hunter. Apologize to him right now before I throw you out of this room.” Hunter’s jaw flexed. For a second I thought he might push back. Then he stepped closer, dropped to one knee in front of us, and forced the words out like they cost him blood. “I’m sorry, Cody. I lost my fucking head over Reyes. I shouldn’t have grabbed you that hard. It won’t happen again.” Cody swallowed, eyes still glassy, but he nodded once. I kept my hand on the

  • Monsters on Ice ( 18+)   Unchained

    Chapter 14 – Unchained Hunter Conner “You’re not putting your shoes on, Cody, and you’re sure as hell not walking out that door.” Cody froze with one shoe in his hand, eyes wide. Atlas stood a few feet away, phone still glowing with the post Dom Reyes had just dropped — a public, nasty promise that he’d “finish what he started” the second Cody stepped back on the ice. My blood was already boiling. “Hunter, I have to go,” Cody said, voice tight. “Harlan will suspend me. My career—” “Fuck Harlan.” I stepped in front of the door and locked it with a hard click. “And fuck Dom Reyes. If that bastard is waiting anywhere near the arena, you’re not leaving this house.” “You can’t just—” I closed the distance in two strides, took the shoe out of his hand, and threw it across the entryway. It hit the wall hard. Cody’s back met the door a second later as I crowded him in, one forearm braced beside his head, the other gripping his jaw. “Take those clothes off right now before I rip them o

  • Monsters on Ice ( 18+)   Rupture

    Chapter 13 – Rupture Cody Brennan “Who the hell’s shirt is that, Cody? Because it’s definitely not yours.” Ty’s voice hit me the second I stepped into the kitchen. He was already standing by the island, arms crossed, eyes narrowed. I froze halfway to the coffee maker, suddenly very aware of the oversized black hoodie swallowing my frame — one of Atlas’s — and the way the soft cotton still scraped against the fresh bite mark on my shoulder. “It’s just a hoodie,” I said, too fast. “Mine’s in the wash.” “Bullshit.” Ty stepped closer. “You’re not answering my texts. You’re not showing up to team meals. You’ve been living in Kane’s house for over a week, and now you’re walking like someone rearranged your insides. What the fuck is going on?” My face burned. Every shift of my weight sent a dull, sweet ache through my ass and thighs — reminders of Hunter’s rough morning and Atlas’s controlled destruction the night before. I gripped the edge of the counter hard enough that my knuckles w
