The night air cut through him as Lukas stepped outside, breath fogging in front of his face.

Mac raised his hands before Lukas could get closer, palms out. “Lukas,” he said, voice hoarse. “I just came to talk.”

“Was I not clear before?” Lukas snapped, every syllable like a blade. “Stay the fuck away.”

Mac’s face crumpled for the first time. “Lukas—please. I know. I know I—”

“You know?” Lukas barked. “You know? You think that makes it better?” He stepped forward, the porch light carving his face

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   The Rich-Boy Club

    A month later, Aiden and Lukas walked through the entrance of the Stormriders’ facility, Lukas veering toward the locker room with a backward grin while Aiden took the quieter corridor to the observation level.It wasn't official practice, but Lukas was still rebuilding his fitness under Aiden’s relentless supervision. Months later, he was better than ever but still chasing perfection.Aiden slipped his hands into his coat pockets as he made his way toward the elevated viewing deck that overlooked the rink. It was peaceful up there on weekends. No staff bustle, no drills, just the hum of the refrigeration system and the echo of skates cutting into ice.He’d only made it halfway when a familiar voice called out behind him.“Aiden.”Aiden turned to see Sterling Belmont approaching from the far hall, dressed more casually than usual—T-shirt, jeans, hair slightly tousled like Noah had run his hands through it before he escaped.Aiden lifted a brow. “Sterling. Didn’t think you worked weeke

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Two Idiots on a Plane

    Three months later, everything was finally in motion.Aiden had been running himself ragged achieving things as only he could. Clinic consultations, legal screenings, psychological evaluations, embryo‑transfer prep meetings, surrogate interviews. Lukas tagged along to most of it, pretending he didn’t care while grilling every surrogate candidate like he was hiring for national security.He only approved of one.Her name was Harlow—late thirties, sharp‑witted, a dry sense of humor that Lukas enjoyed. Two kids of her own, both healthier than most pro athletes. One successful surrogacy already. She didn’t bat her lashes at Aiden, didn’t give him the once‑over, didn’t call him doctor like she wanted to climb him.Lukas had insisted on her.And now, after months of prep and waiting, it was now only a few hours until Ell’s egg‑scooping-out-session.Which meant, naturally, that Lukas and Mac were stuck at a game, the night before, on the other side of the country. The kind that ended close t

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Dr. Hanley

    Lukas’s hand slid from Aiden’s waist to the bottle he’d abandoned on the counter. He shook it once, then flipped the cap with one thumb, slicking his fingers again. The sound alone made Aiden brace harder against the couch.“Relax,” Lukas murmured, his voice low enough to vibrate down Aiden’s spine. “I’m a professional... I'll have that sample out of you in no time.”Aiden felt the first glide of warmed lube at the small of his back, Lukas’s fingers tracing deliberately downward, slow enough to make him shiver. His other hand wrapped around Aiden's cock in a slow, deliberate stroke that punched the breath out of him. Lukas held him there, stroking lazily as his other hand slid between his cheeks, spreading lube with long, confident sweeps meant to soothe as much as tease.“God, you’re tense,” Lukas breathed, leaning in to kiss the nape of Aiden’s neck. “Trust me, masturbation is my specialty.”Aiden exhaled shakily, gripping the couch cushion. Lukas’s fingers circled him, gentle at fi

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Hands-On Help

    Two weeks later, Aiden found himself inside one of the most exclusive private fertility clinics in the country. Polished marble floors, soft lighting, discreet staff who never made eye contact long enough to embarrass a soul. It should have been calming.It wasn’t.Because he was standing in a small, dim, overly warm room with a sample cup on the counter beside him.And Lukas, of course, was somewhere else in the clinic because he had demanded a room of his own.Aiden still couldn’t decide if he’d imagined that conversation.“No cup,” Lukas had said. “Just me, vibes, and whatever legal porn they’ve got. If you get a room, I get a room. Equality, babe.”Aiden had opened his mouth to argue, because this was not a competition, then shut it again. Lukas wasn’t wrong. If Aiden got to be tucked away in a private room, Lukas shouldn’t be relegated to a waiting area.But he also had no intention of rifling through a stack of seedy magazines featuring dead‑eyed boys who looked like they’d been

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Soda and Eggs

    Aiden barely got the car into park before Lukas had the door open. He practically launched himself onto Mac’s front lawn, adrenaline still buzzing through every vein like he hadn’t just played sixty minutes plus celebrations.Mac burst out the front door at the same time, meeting him halfway across the yard.“WE WON!” Lukas yelled.“WE FUCKING WON!” Mac shouted back, grabbing him in a crushing hug that lifted Lukas clean off the ground.They spun once like idiots before Mac set him down, both of them laughing so hard Lukas felt light-headed.“I can’t believe you missed it, man,” Lukas said, punching his arm lightly. “Championship game! The game of our lives!”Mac shrugged, grinning like an overexcited golden retriever. “I played enough games this season. I’m still taking credit.”“Hey,” Lukas said suspiciously, “you didn’t leave my sister to look after your baby so you could come out here and celebrate, did you?”“Theo’s asleep.”“…Good answer.”Mac clapped Aiden on the shoulder as he

  • Owned on the Ice M/M Romance   Everything He Waited For

    He kissed his way up her thighs, slow enough for her to stop him at any moment, but she didn’t. Her fingers curled tight in the sheets, chest rising in anticipation.When his mouth finally brushed the inside of her thigh, she gasped.“Mac,” she whispered again, voice trembling with want. “Please…”He looked up at her, eyes dark, reverent, hungry. “Tell me,” he murmured. “Tell me what you want, Ellery.”Her lips parted around a shaky breath. “I want you. However you want me. Just… stay with me.”Mac’s chest tightened at the truth in that, how much she needed, how much she feared, how much she hoped.He slid his hands under her hips, pulling her gently toward him.“Ell,” he whispered, mouth lowering to her, “I’m not going anywhere.”His lips found her, soft, slow, reverent, and Ell gasped like the breath had been pulled right out of her. Her hips jerked, not in shock but in relief, her thighs trembling under his hands. Mac closed his eyes, sinking into the taste of her, into the way she
