Noah barely slept.

His body was exhausted, but his mind wouldn’t shut up. He tossed and turned, restless and overheated, his thoughts spiraling with no clear anchor. He couldn’t even figure out what was bothering him so much. It wasn’t Sterling. Or maybe it was. Maybe it was everything.

But every time he closed his eyes, something coiled and unsettled rose to the surface—tight, hot, and impossible to shake.

By the time morning came, he’d dozed for maybe two hours, sheets twisted around his legs, mouth dry, head aching.

The Stormriders’ facility came into view just past 9 a.m. And parked dead center in the player lot, obnoxious and gleaming under the sunlight, was that fucking convertible.

The cherry-pink eyesore sat like it knew it didn’t belong and didn’t care.

Noah sneered as he passed it, jaw tight.

Inside, he changed into his gear with the rest of the team, the locker room full of idle chatter, towel snaps, and the occasional half-assed chirp. It was almost normal.

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Couch Confessions

    Milo followed Ethan back to the living room.He sank into the cushions, tucking one leg beneath him, as Ethan sprawled back comfortable but close, their thighs brushing in casual contact. Milo could feel the warmth through his jeans and tried to steady his pulse.The TV flickered quietly in the background. Soft light from the kitchen spilled across the sectional, casting long shadows that made the space feel private. The faint hum of the refrigerator and the distant tick of the heating system filled the silence.Conversation came easy, and Milo found himself relaxing into it. They talked about the team and the season, sharing bits of locker-room gossip and complaining about early morning travel schedules. Ethan’s hand found Milo’s knee at one point, a quiet touch that said more than words. Milo’s chest tightened with that mix of excitement and uncertainty that always seemed to follow him around Ethan. He fidgeted slightly, brushing his fingertips along the seam of the couch, his pu

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Unexpected

    Ethan jerked back first, head whipping toward the sound. Milo’s heart thudded as he scrambled off the counter, straightening his shirt and running a hand through his hair. He thought Ethan lived alone. Maybe he had a roommate?Then a young, impatient voice rang out. “Dad!?”Milo froze.Ethan’s jaw tightened, tension etched across his face as he ran a hand through his dark hair. More banging noises came from the entrance.“Help yourself to a beer in the fridge,” Ethan said quickly, voice low. “Or anything else. I’ll… be right back.”“Dad!” the voice called again.Ethan stalked out of the kitchen.Milo lingered near the door, curiosity gnawing at him. He peeked discreetly around the corner and saw Ethan facing a boy who looked like a smaller version of him, maybe nine or ten, scuffed sneakers and a defiant slouch.“Caleb,” Ethan said, his voice firm, “we don’t slam doors and kick our shoes at the wall.”Caleb kicked at the baseboard anyway, his mouth twisting into a petulant scowl. “Why

    Ethan stepped out of the Range Rover with a grin that was all easy confidence in front of Jess. Broad-shouldered and effortlessly imposing. His dark hair was slightly mussed from the long journey, his sharp jaw catching the glow of the streetlight, he looked every bit the protective enforcer.He rounded the car to Milo’s side, ruffling his hair lightly. “C’mon, rookie. Let’s get you somewhere safe and dry for the night.”Milo flushed but played along, slinging his bag over his shoulder as Ethan opened the door for him.“Thanks for grabbing him, Ethan,” Jess said. “Last thing we need is him being mobbed in a hotel lobby.”“Yeah. I’ve got him.” Ethan said, flashing her a casual smile. “He’ll be fine.”The words looked completely innocent to Jess, but heat curled low in Milo’s stomach as he slid into the passenger seat. Ethan shut the door, circled back, and climbed in behind the wheel.The moment the car doors closed and Jess’s car was in the rearview, Ethan’s hand slid to Milo’s thigh,

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   A Brief Respite

    The day blurred into the hum of travel.The Stormriders were on the move again, but there was no game looming that night. The bus ride felt different. Lighter. Quieter. Guys leaned back in their seats, earbuds in or dozing off, their bodies finally catching a break after the brutal stretch of games and the adrenaline crash of the Vultures matchup.Milo watched the landscape slide by through the window, his phone idle in his lap. There was a strange comfort in the monotony, in the shared exhaustion of the team.Their route happened to take them through Crestwick late in the evening.For the other guys, tonight meant a few precious hours to sleep in their own beds before the next road push. Not a day off, exactly, just a rare evening of familiarity and silence.For Milo, it meant something else.He’d be seeing the hotel room the team had arranged for him, his temporary landing spot while he figured out his relocation. He wasn’t going home. He didn’t have one in this city yet. But the th

    Milo’s pulse still thrummed in his ears as he straddled Ethan, determined to ride him until neither of them could move. He reached down, trying to line Ethan’s cock up beneath him, but a strong hand caught his wrist.Ethan’s brow furrowed, his voice rough. “What do you mean, not satisfied?”“I can keep going,” Milo said, breathless, shifting his hips in search of him. “As many rounds as you want. Four? Would that be enough? I can keep up.”Ethan blinked at him, incredulous. “Four? Milo… what the hell makes you think I want to go four times?”Milo hesitated, then blurted out, “Because… I was watching. With Avery. Maybe it was more—I fell asleep.”The words hung in the air for a beat before he realized his mistake.Ethan’s hand stilled on his hip. His eyes darkened, and he tilted his head. “You were watching the whole time?”Milo faltered, heat blooming across his cheeks, but then he lifted his chin and said boldly, “Yes. I was. I was watching through the bathroom door.”For a moment, E

    Milo’s voice was low and certain as he looked up at Ethan. “I want to taste you properly,” he said. “I didn’t get to do it for very long last time… and I’ve never done this with anyone else.”Ethan’s vision blurred for a moment.Milo’s reckless words rattled him like an earthquake.No one had ever made it feel like a confession and a command all at once. Ethan’s grip in Milo’s hair tightened, his jaw slack with shock and hunger as he stared down at him.“Christ, Milo…” The words tore out of him, half-groan, half-prayer.The sight of him wrecked and eager on his knees, lips wet, eyes bright with mischief and want, broke something in Ethan. He had always been the one in control, the one dictating the pace, but now all he could do was feel. Submit. Let Milo take what he wanted.“God, you’re gonna kill me,” Ethan rasped, hips stuttering as Milo’s mouth moved in a rhythm that made stars burst behind his eyelids.Milo hummed low in his throat, like he was pleased with himself, like he knew
