    Summary

    Evan Buckley is living out his childhood dream as the star hitter for the Philadelphia Phillies. He’s climbing the ranks, improving his stats with every single game – he’s unstoppable.

    That is, until the Los Angeles Angels get a new pitcher seemingly out of nowhere. Known for his strong arm and tricky curve balls, Eddie Diaz is one of the few pitchers in the nation who consistently makes Buck strike out, and its infuriating. Even from the sixty feet that separate them between the batter’s box and the pitcher’s mound, the weight of Diaz’s gaze is enough to make Buck’s blood boil.

    Because Buck doesn’t get nervous on game day, he never feels calmer than when he steps up to the plate with the bat in his hand – it’s where he belongs. But when he sees Eddie Diaz standing on that mound, his stomach flips and nerves spark across his skin.

    Because if there is one thing Buck knows for sure, it is that he hates Eddie Diaz.

    … Until he doesn’t.

    Summary

    Sidney has no idea why Ovechkin is in his bed. There are wedding pictures on the wall, wedding rings in the safe with the marriage license. Only Sidney has no memory of any of it, because this isn't his life. And he has no idea why he is here, or how to get home.

    Summary

    Mika made it clear from the very beginning. He’d pulled back after kissing Chris, both of them drunk and flushed with their win, smiled into his eyes, and said, “I don’t believe in marriage.”

    Chris had choked on a laugh. “Who’s proposing?” he sputtered.

    “Absolutely no one,” Mika shot back, grinning. “I just want to be clear that this—” He gestured vaguely between them. “—Isn’t going anywhere.”

    “Except the bedroom, right?” Chris asked, trying to nudge him along the hall, but Mika clearly wanted to make himself clear first.

    “As long as you understand that this is just fun.”

    “Well, not yet it’s not,” Chris said plaintively, and Mika laughed out loud and let Chris tow him deeper into the house.

    Summary

    Geno’s nose scrunches up like he’s just sniffed someone’s rank gear bag. “He say you trigger Sasha’s rut. Won’t let no one near him, not even beta trainer.”

    “I didn’t hit him that hard!” Sid argues. Geno nods along in agreement, until Sid adds, “And how could I trigger him? I’m not even in heat.”

    Geno’s nose wrinkles again. God damnit, Sid hates that look sometimes.

    “You a little bit in heat, Sid,” Geno admits reluctantly, inching back in his stall.

    ~*~

    Or, the one where Sid triggers Alex, and Alex can't stay away.

    Summary

    “Rodney,” John sighs, reaching over and prying McKay’s glass out of his hands and topping him off with a generous pour. “I don’t think it’s going to matter much how drunk I am when all my organs liquify in 24 hours and I keel over.”

    Or, Rodney and John are about to die and that's as good a time as any to realize their regard for one another is mutual.
