Sterling’s words lingered in the space between them.

Noah should’ve walked away.

Every bone in his body told him to go. To reclaim some scrap of control, some final thread of dignity. To throw up a wall before it crumbled entirely.

But his feet wouldn’t move.

They were bolted to the floor.

His chest rose and fell too fast as Sterling stood there, unapologetic and impossibly steady. Not smug. Not triumphant. Just certain. Like he already knew Noah wouldn’t leave.

Because he wouldn't.

They both k

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Concerns

    Jamie woke to the feeling of warmth and the steady rhythm of someone breathing beside him. For the first time since Max had started staying over, the goalie was still fast asleep.Jamie turned his head slowly on the pillow, careful not to wake him, and let himself just… look.Max was breathtaking like this. Completely unguarded. His golden brown hair was tousled from sleep, falling across his forehead in messy strands. Long lashes rested against his cheeks, and his full lips were slightly parted, soft and relaxed. The sheet had slipped dangerously low on his hips, revealing the sculpted lines of his chest and abs, the faint trail of hair leading downward. A lingering bruise from practice still shadowed his ribs, but it only added to the rugged, masculine beauty that made Jamie’s chest ache. One powerful arm was flung above his head, the other resting loosely across his stomach, fingers relaxed. In sleep, the usual teasing smirk and confident energy were gone, replaced by something s

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   What You Would've Said

    The characters on the TV had long since devolved into a looping emote cycle, some cheerful jingle repeating like it was mocking them. Jamie barely registered it. He was still half-turned on his side, chest half pressed to the mattress, one leg hooked awkwardly over Max’s knee. Max’s cock was still buried deep inside him, every tiny shift sending sparks of overstimulation racing up Jamie’s spine.Max held him pinned exactly where he wanted him.“You didn’t think I’d like to hear that?” Max murmured, voice low and rough against the shell of Jamie’s ear. His lips brushed the sensitive skin just behind it, sending a shiver rolling through Jamie’s body. “That you wanted me so badly you had to run?”Jamie’s mouth opened, but only a broken, half-formed whimper escaped. “I—I didn’t—”Max’s hips rolled forward in one slow, deliberate thrust, pressing impossibly deeper. Jamie’s eyes fluttered shut on a choked moan.“Shh,” Max soothed, but there was nothing soft about the way he kissed him — de

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Honesty

    Jamie’s mind crashed the second the name left Max’s lips.He was still folded in half — knees pressed tight to his own chest, legs spread obscenely wide, those stupid duck socks hovering on either side of Max’s head. He tried to twist, tried to pull his legs down.He was so full. Max buried to the hilt inside him, thick and throbbing, stretching him open in that overwhelming way that made his toes curl inside the ridiculous socks. The burn was intense, bordering on too much, but the pleasure was sharper, deeper, flooding every nerve. He tried to twist, tried to pull his legs down, panic and overwhelming sensation crashing together.“Max— wait, wait a minute—” Jamie gasped, voice cracking. “I can explain, please—”Max didn’t wait.He drove in harder, deeper, hips snapping forward with a punishing rhythm that stole the air from Jamie’s lungs. The stretch burned so good, every thrust dragging perfectly against that spot inside him that made white-hot sparks explode behind his eyes.“Tel

    They got back to Jamie’s dorm just after nine, the hallway quiet except for the distant hum of someone’s music. Max dropped his keys on the desk and flopped onto the bed with a tired but content groan. “You okay if I load up Brightvale?”Jamie nodded, pulse already racing. “Yeah.”The big TV bathed the small room in blue light. Jamie shuffled over and sat on the edge of the mattress, trying to look casual even though his heart was trying to punch its way out of his chest.Max glanced over, green eyes warm. “So you’ve really never played this?”Jamie looked away, focusing on his controller. “No. Never.”“Huh.” Max’s voice was thoughtful. “Just really seems like you would’ve played it.”Jamie’s stomach twisted. “Why?”Max shrugged, a small smile playing on his lips. “Just a feeling.”Jamie avoided answering again, thumbs fidgeting on the controller as the game loaded. The silence stretched, thick and heavy, until he finally asked, “What about your parents? You know my entire family his

    Jamie stood in front of his tiny closet, heart doing stupid fluttering things in his chest.The dorm room was barely 12 by 12 feet — a cramped rectangle that suddenly felt even smaller with Max’s giant TV still dominating the desk and Max’s clothes mixed in with his own. Sharing such a small space with the guy you were about to go to dinner with had one major downside: Jamie couldn’t obsess over his outfit the way he wanted to. He couldn’t try on six different shirts and panic in the mirror without Max witnessing the sad, desperate display.Still, he tried.He settled on light, loose-fitting jeans and a soft navy sweater, sleeves rolled once. It wasn’t fancy, but it was better than the usual hoodie-and-sweats he wore in his dorm room. When he came back from the bathroom, Max was already dressed, leaning against the desk looking unfairly hot in a black button-down that hugged his broad shoulders and chest, sleeves rolled up to show those thick forearms, dark jeans, and boots. Jamie to

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Real World

    Jamie stood behind the glass in the press area, camera steady on his shoulder, trying to remind himself for the hundredth time that he was supposed to be filming the game, not just Max. The whole game.It was harder than it should have been.The Westlake Bears’ arena was loud and bright, the crowd roaring every time their team touched the puck. Jamie zoomed in on the ice, trying to capture the flow of play, but his lens kept drifting back to number 31 in the net.Max was playing like a man possessed.He had barely sat down all night. Every time the whistle blew, Max stayed on the ice, pushing through shifts that should have been Zach’s turn. Jamie knew why. Max was protecting his freshman teammate from having to play goal — something Zach had looked genuinely terrified about on the bus ride over.The Direwolves were up 4-2 midway through the second period, and it was mostly thanks to a few key players.Ryder was playing hard. He won six of his first eight faceoffs, threaded a perfect
