Two days since the bath, since the confession, since everything boiled over and then… settled.

Somehow, after all the heat and confusion, they had fallen into a rhythm.

Sterling hadn’t left the house. Not once. Noah wasn’t sure if that was typical for him or if he was an exceptionally dedicated caregiver, but he had started to expect the quiet footsteps, the soft clink of dishes, the subtle way Sterling always seemed to know when he was hungry before he did.

Sterling’s house was ridiculous. It

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Déjà Vu

    Max took longer than usual getting ready.It wasn’t about the party. He’d been to thousands of these. Same music, same beer, same rotating cast of girls and teammates and noise. That part was easy.But another part wasn’t easy and had been happening for a while.For a couple of years now, if he was being honest.It had started as a quiet question he never said out loud. A what if that showed up late at night and disappeared by morning. What if attraction wasn’t as simple as everyone around him made it look? What if he just… hadn’t met the right person yet?What if he had, but they'd disappeared before all the pieces could fall into place?He’d looked. Objectively. Teammates in locker rooms. Guys at the gym. Friends of friends.Nothing.Girls were easy. Familiar. Automatic. He liked them. Wanted them. That part had never been confusing.So he’d figured the question meant nothing.Then he’d run into Jamie in that coffee shop.And something had shifted.It had been a boring summer before

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   The Wolf Den

    Jamie stood in front of his mirror convinced he was looking at someone else.He exhaled slowly and adjusted the collar of his shirt.He’d agonized over the outfit longer than he wanted to admit. He finally settled on dark jeans that actually fit him properly, a soft T‑shirt that skimmed his shoulders without clinging, and a lightweight jacket he could keep on if he panicked and needed something to hide behind.The result was… actually decent.His hair behaved for once, falling into that effortless mess that wasn’t effortless at all. He looked like himself, just sharpened around the edges. The kind of version that might get a second glance. Or at least not get eaten alive.Jamie grabbed his phone, checked the time, then checked it again.Zach: wolf den tonight. don’t bail.Jamie winced.The Wolf Den.Zach had explained it casually, like it wasn’t the setup of Jamie’s personal nightmare. Most of the team lived together in a former frat house just off campus, Sigma something. Now it was j

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Invitation Only

    Jamie woke up late, by his standards.He and Ava didn’t have class until later, one of those rare shared late-start mornings that usually felt like a gift. But the jolt of it hit him hard: no sunlit calm, no lazy stretch, just the awareness that time had moved on without him.His phone was vibrating itself off the bedside table.He groaned, fumbled for it, and squinted at the screen.Ava: JAMIEAva: i need details!! Jamie rolled onto his back and stared at the ceiling.He’d stayed up far too late.Long after he’d uploaded the footage. Long after he’d told himself, firmly, that he was done for the night.There was one clip he hadn’t been able to stop replaying.Max leaning back in the chair, all easy confidence, the fabric of his shirt pulling slightly across his shoulders when he moved. He smiled as he talked, slow and unguarded, hands gesturing as if he couldn’t help explaining things with his whole body. His eyes stayed warm and intent on the camera, bright with focus, he was devas

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Purely Selfish

    “Got time for one more?”Jamie hesitated.“Uh—yeah,” he said, far too quickly. Then, panicking, he added, “I just—bathroom. One second.”Max laughed softly. “Sure. Take your time.”Jamie didn’t wait to hear anything else. He slipped past Max and down the hall, heart racing, shoes squeaking faintly against the floor as he ducked into the bathroom and locked the door behind him.He braced his hands on the sink and leaned forward, breathing hard.Okay.Okay.He turned the tap on and splashed cold water over his wrists, then his face, staring at his reflection like it might give him instructions.Max didn’t know.He couldn’t know.Even if Jamie sounded like JPEG. Even if his voice did that stupid thing when he was nervous. Lots of people sounded alike. That meant nothing.Max didn’t know he was gay.Max didn’t know he couldn’t stop thinking about him.Max didn’t know that standing that close, smelling him, feeling his hand on his shoulder had nearly short-circuited his brain.This is not

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   The Monster Tamer

    The interviews were going… well.Surprisingly well, actually.Jamie found his footing faster than he’d expected. The two centers were pretty chill once they got going, competitive in a way that crackled just beneath the surface, but polite enough on camera. Hayes talked big, Calloway talked less, and Jamie steered them through shared questions without crashing and burning. He even managed a joke that landed.After that, it got easier.Guys filtered in and out of the room in whatever order they felt like. Jamie let them volunteer, nodded them through, adjusted his chair angles once and then stopped fussing. He interviewed defensemen, wingers, Zach who was exactly as relaxed as he always was and made a point of telling Jamie he was doing great, on and off camera.Time blurred.Somewhere along the way, Jamie realized his shoulders had dropped. His voice had steadied. He was doing the thing.And, thankfully, Max didn't seem to take much notice of Jamie.He hovered by the food instead, lau

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Caught Looking

    Practice ended without any real warning.One moment the ice was loud with drills and shouted cues, the next the intensity simply bled away. Sticks stopped cracking against the ice. Players coasted toward the benches, loose and loud again.Jamie stayed where he was, notebook forgotten on his knee.He’d been staring at Max.Pretty openly, if he was honest. But from up here, from behind the glass, he was fairly certain no one could tell. Everyone stared during practice, right? That was normal. Expected, even.One small upside of this entire situation, he decided, was that he was now technically allowed to look at Max.One major downside was that he was going to have to interview him.Very shortly.Alone.In a tiny room.Where Max would sit across from him and listen to a familiar voice asking him multiple questions and, hopefully, not recognize it.Jamie exhaled slowly through his nose and forced himself to stand. His legs felt a little unsteady as he slung his bag over his shoulder and
