Rookie Crush

For nearly ten years, Colby McKay has lived under the hockey world's constant watch, and this summer he is expected to be the first overall pick in the NHL draft, a franchise-altering talent who cannot escape the pressure that comes with it.

That scrutiny has left him a rookie in more ways than one, and the only person he feels safe with is his teammate Tyler.

Tyler has looked out for Colby since they met, seeing the strain in his eyes even while knowing he should not notice those things about another player.

When Colby asks him to teach everything he knows in the bedroom, Tyler knows the safe answer is no.

There is nothing he would refuse Colby McKay, yet wanting his teammate was never going to stay a simple friends-with-benefits arrangement.
