Sterling sat up slowly, muscles rippling with the motion.

The white towel pooled low around his hips, exposing a chiseled V of muscle that carved sharply between his hipbones. A faint trail of dark hair disappeared beneath the towel—masculine, coarse, and distractingly real. It made Noah's pulse spike.

He shouldn't be noticing that. Shouldn't feel his cock stir just from the sight of a happy trail.

But there it was, and it did.

Noah tried to remember why he'd come here in the first place. He felt strangely off-balance. Aroused in a way he didn’t understand, as if every inch of Sterling’s body was designed to fuck with his control. Everything drew his attention beneath the towel. An invitation Noah couldn’t afford to look at, let alone want.

But he looked anyway.

His mouth went dry.

Sterling didn’t break eye contact. Dark, sharp, and unreadable, but full of something electric. They weren’t just watching. They were holding him there, locking him in place with a heat that burned too quie

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Hearthlight Visit

    Noah had been dodging the Hearthlight visit for almost two weeks.He’d passed their background check. Sterling had made sure of that, subtly, of course. Lawyers, contacts, letters of glowing recommendation from every coach Noah had ever worked with. It was all wrapped up with a neat little bow.And Sterling had been nudging him since the second he found out Noah had even thought about adoption. A thought Noah had tried to downplay. Tried to wave off with a laugh and a shrug and a, "It was just a second, don’t get dramatic."But Sterling, being Sterling, had latched onto it like Noah had whispered a marriage proposal mid-orgasm.So Noah finally agreed to stop by. Just to say he'd done it. To clear it off the list.He was fairly confident that actually adopting a baby would shatter the very bliss he and Sterling had spent the past few months building. They were finally in sync. He could touch Sterling in public. Sterling was quietly destroying Anneliese. And they weren’t constantly snea

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Scandalous

    The hum of the facility was different at the end of the day. Quieter. More focused. Sterling sat alone in his office overlooking the rink, suit jacket draped over the back of his chair, sleeves rolled up as he leaned over his desk, scrolling through a flagged email thread on his tablet.The subject line read: Re: potential leak – player misconduct story (Laurent & Harrow)Sterling’s jaw ticked.Anneliese. Of-fucking-course.Victor Harrow’s name hadn’t appeared in any official capacity, but his fingerprints were all over the contact chain. She was using his network, quietly and sloppily, to try and leak a fabricated scandal involving Sterling and one of his players.It was a weak angle. The story had little evidence. A few blurry shots of him and Noah walking into the same hotel minutes apart, and one of them in the owner’s box, close together after the stitches incident. Nothing concrete. Nothing damning.But it was enough to stir rumors if it got out.His team had intercepted the ema

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Playoff Heat

    A couple of weeks later, the world felt heavier and lighter all at once.The Stormriders were well into the playoffs, clawing their way through each brutal round, and for once, it felt like the fire in their lungs might carry them all the way.Tonight, they'd beaten the Reapers. Finally.It hadn’t been clean. Or easy. Or pretty. But it was a win, and it was theirs.Noah had taken hits hard enough to rattle his bones, one stick across the ribs, a crunch into the glass that had left his shoulder aching, and a slash across the back of his thigh that had barely been called. But he’d played like hell. And when the buzzer sounded, he’d skated off the ice with a grin that split his face wide and wild.Now, he was soaking in the rooftop hot tub of a lavish hotel suite Sterling had booked in secret.The steam curled around his face, sweat and chlorine and exhaustion blending into something peaceful. His body throbbed in time with his pulse, but every bruise felt like a medal.The water lapped

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   The Monument

    The Stormriders' facility was empty, save for the hum of the lights and the cold whisper of blades cutting over ice.Noah coasted out toward center ice, the crisp echo of his skates the only sound in the space. The place was eerily quiet without the usual chaos of sticks, shouting, and crashing bodies. His breath fogged faintly in the cool air."You really locked down the whole place?" he called out, skating backward as Sterling stepped out of the tunnel, already lacing up.Sterling lifted a brow. "I do own it."Noah grinned. "Just making sure you’re using that power for good.""Good is subjective," Sterling said dryly, standing and stepping cleanly onto the ice.Noah’s grin widened. They’d skated together once before but never like this. Never without an audience. Never just the two of them.Sterling moved with easy confidence, smooth and solid in every stride. It wasn’t a surprise, Noah knew the man had history with the sport, but it still did something to him, watching that powerfu

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Birthday Breakfast

    Sterling had intended to keep breakfast simple. Eggs, coffee, something with carbs to keep Noah upright after the night they just had.He was halfway through scrambling the eggs when Noah walked into the kitchen completely, unapologetically naked.Sterling nearly dropped the spatula and swore under his breath as his wrist grazed the hot pan. "Jesus—Noah."Noah grinned, unbothered, and strolled over to the fruit bowl like he wasn’t baring everything. "Morning."Sterling turned off the burner before he truly injured himself. "Why aren’t you dressed?""I am," Noah said cheerfully, popping a grape into his mouth. "This is my birthday suit. And I’m staying in it all day."Sterling gave him a look. "No, you’re not. We’ve got places to go later.""So?""So I’m not dealing with the fallout of the world seeing your cock."Noah leaned across the counter, unabashed. "Sounds like a you problem."Sterling just shook his head, biting back a laugh as he tried to refocus on the eggs. "Put on some clo

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Noah's Birthday

    Noah woke up to silk sheets, a pounding head, and the unmistakable ache of thoroughly satisfying sex.He groaned and flopped onto his stomach, burying his face in a pillow that smelled like Sterling. Clean, expensive, and faintly spiced, like bourbon and power."Mmmfuck," he mumbled. "Dead. I’m dead. You killed me."From somewhere nearby, a deep voice rumbled with amusement. "You’re dramatic when you’re hungover."Noah cracked one eye open. Sterling stood at the foot of the bed in nothing but a dark robe, tied loosely at the waist. Arms crossed. Smirking.Noah grinned, rolling to face him, slow and lazy. "You were very hot last night. Like, criminally hot.""You were very loud," Sterling said dryly. "Happy birthday, by the way."Noah blinked, then groaned again. "Oh, fuck. It’s my birthday?"Sterling nodded. "It is. You’re twenty-three and still incapable of holding your liquor.""Rude." Noah reached out and patted the empty side of the bed. "You should be naked. It’s my birthday."St
