The equipment room is empty. His linemate’s hand is on his chest. And Derek’s back is against the cage.
Two years sharing a line with Shane O’Hara — two years of hip checks that linger, hotel rooms with one bed too few, and a slapshot celebration where Shane’s mouth landed close enough that Derek couldn’t sleep for a week. He’s never let himself name what that means.
Tonight practice ran late. The team’s gone. Shane peels off his gloves, backs Derek against the boards of the equipment cage, and says the thing they’ve both been skating around since sophomore year. Derek’s jersey is half off before he finishes saying yes.
POWER PLAY (Locker Room Book 5) is a scorching teammates-to-lovers MM hockey romance featuring straight-to-gay awakening, two years of tension breaking in one night, and a linemate who knows exactly where to put his hands. Standalone. No cliffhanger.
Content Note: Explicit MM scenes, first-time gay experiences, and intense equipment room encounters between teammates. Maximum heat. No fade to black.
