Milo didn’t realize he’d stopped breathing until Ethan spoke again. The sound of his name, soft and reverent, snapped him back into the moment. He looked down at the ring, then up at Ethan. His eyes dark with emotion, his shoulders tense like he was holding his entire world together by a thread.

Milo’s throat felt thick. The small velvet box between them glimmered faintly in the low light. It was surreal, impossible, that Ethan Doyle, the man he’d idolized, fought beside, and fallen so complete

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Impact

    The training room smelled like disinfectant and sweat.Stations were set up in a loose circuit. Balance boards, flexibility mats, heart-rate monitors. Guys rotated through in half-dressed clusters, joking too loudly.Pre-season checks. Routine. Boring.Ryder leaned against the wall near the doorway, tugging at the hem of his compression shorts while he waited for his turn. The clipboard in the trainer’s hands barely moved. Everything ran on muscle memory this time of year.Jax stood a few feet away.Too close not to notice.He had his hands braced on his hips, his head tipped back as he rolled his neck slowly from side to side—throat exposed, jaw tight, the line of muscle pulling clean beneath his skin.Something tightened in Ryder’s gut, a flicker of heat he hadn’t asked for and didn’t want. He stamped it down just as quickly.“Jesus... His stats are impressive,” one of the assistant trainers muttered nearby. “Guy doesn’t know when to quit.”Ryder didn’t look over, but his attention

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   His Girlfriend

    Ryder didn’t get back in the car.He did exactly as Jax expected. He shoved Zach toward the Mustang with a grin that was too bright, and too pleased with itself.“You can drop the freshman back. Enjoy,” Ryder said, smug.Zach didn’t complain. He climbed into the passenger seat practically vibrating, eyes roaming the dash like he was being given a tour. “Holy—this thing purrs,” he said, giddy.Jax drove them back in near silence, nodded when Zach babbled, dropped him at his dorm with a polite, detached wave.Then he was alone.Sigma Delta sat quiet under the trees, warm light glowing in a few windows, calm in a way that didn’t match his head. Jax pulled to the curb, killed the engine, and let his forehead rest against the steering wheel.What the hell was he doing?The project was finished. Clean. Solid. They’d both pass without a hitch. He’d told himself that once it was over, he’d keep his distance from Hayes, no more late nights, no more friction disguised as work.Avoid the center.

    The guys filled the space with noise and laughter.“Football thinks they own the place,” Drew said, tearing into another wing. “Imagine subbing out every thirty seconds and still flexing about it.”Connor snorted. “They think conditioning is walking from the bus to the field.”Zach leaned back, draping an arm along the top of the booth. “I heard their playbooks are written in crayon.”Leo laughed under his breath, shoulders loosening as the chirping rolled on.Across the bar, Assball slid into a chair with his girl tucked in close beside him. He draped an arm over the back of her seat like it was a claim, not a gesture. She angled herself away just enough to make it noticeable if you were paying attention.Ryder tried not to.Jax didn’t stare. He barely moved at all, just a quiet shift of focus, eyes tracking without effort. If Ryder hadn’t been watching him already, he might’ve missed it.Assball scrolled through his phone and laughed too loud. The girl beside him said something Ryde

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   The Foundry

    The Foundry came up fast, all brick, glowing windows, loud even from the street. Connor’s Jeep was pulling in at the same time, fishtailing slightly as it swung into the lot.Jax slid the Mustang neatly into the space beside it.The second the engine cut, Ryder was out of the car.He bolted like he was late for a game, tension and embarrassment propelling him forward as he slammed the door and grabbed his bag from the back.“Jesus, Hayes,” Drew called as they piled out of the Jeep. “You always stomp like you got a stick handle up your ass or is this a special occasion?”Ryder shoved him hard enough to make a point. “Fuck you.”That, unfortunately, only drew attention.The guys' attention slid past Ryder, locking onto the Mustang.“Damn,” Connor breathed. “That really yours Calloway? I thought Larsson was having a mid-life.”Zach circled it like a shark. “So hot...”Ryder scowled, rolling his eyes so hard he was pretty sure they might get stuck. “It’s just a damn car.”They stared at h

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Kiss?

    By the time Leo and Zach's interview wrapped, Ryder was vibrating with the need to get out of the building.“Okay,” he said, clapping his hands once as the guys regrouped near the lockers. “We’re free. We’re leaving. Now.”Drew snorted. “You sound stressed.”“I'm motivated,” Ryder shot back.They herded toward the exit in a loose pack, bags slung over shoulders, sneakers squeaking. Leo hovered at the edge of it, rethinking, adjusting the strap of his bag like he might bail at any second.“Hey,” Ryder said, falling into step beside him. “You coming?”Leo blinked. “Uh. I might turn in, I—”“You’re coming,” Drew said cheerfully from the other side. “First round’s on Reynolds.”Connor groaned. “I did not agree to that.”Leo hesitated, glancing back toward the rink like he expected to get called out.“Don’t worry,” Ryder said. “We won’t corrupt you. Much.”Before Leo could answer, Beck’s voice cut through the hallway.“Hayes,” he barked. “I already warned you once about the underclassmen.

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   For The Camera

    For half a second longer than necessary, Ryder's arm stayed draped over Jax’s shoulders.Warm.Jax was all breadth and strength under his forearm, muscle dense and unyielding, the kind that felt earned. Ryder hated that his brain clocked it instantly. Hated that his pulse jumped, that his fingers registered the subtle flex beneath his hand like a memory.Don’t.He pulled his arm back fast, like he’d brushed a hot stove, and took a step away. Space. Air. He forced his expression back into something neutral and turned toward his stall before anyone could read more into it.“I'll be quick,” Ryder said, already moving. “Didn’t sound long. I’ll see if he can put you guys next.”A chorus of agreement followed him as he dressed, Drew asking about wings again, Connor reminding him not to bail.“Yeah, yeah,” Ryder said, tugging his shirt over his head. “We’ll still make it.”He finished lacing his shoes and glanced up just in time to spot the new guy, Leo, standing near Max’s stall, half-dress

    The house had finally settled into a rhythm, the kind of rhythm only a newborn could dictate. Between the creaks of the old floorboards and the faint crackle of the baby monitor, Lukas had stopped checking the time altogether. Night bled into morning, and sleep was a myth neither he nor Aiden seeme

    Lukas groaned, pressing his head back against the locker. “Fuck, I need to take the damn cup off,” he panted. The hard plastic bit into him, each pulse of arousal a sharp reminder that it wasn’t built for this kind of torture.Aiden’s grip tightened around his arm, pushing his wrist up against the

    The room felt like it had been polished to within an inch of its life, every surface gleaming, the air smelled faintly of lavender and money. After Aiden left, the quiet settled in a way that made Lukas feel huge and clumsy inside it, all broad shoulders and too-long legs on a sofa meant for delica

    The words echoed in Lukas’s head long after they were spoken.He swallowed, voice rough. “You were going to start a family with Nathan?”Aiden exhaled slowly, standing to face him. He raked a hand through his hair, still breathless, and shook his head firmly. “No. Nathan made it very clear he didn’
