Fog loves his job. Speed skating is his drug of choice these days, and when his coach sends him to Canada to work on the fastest ice there is, he's pretty pleased. He's even more pleased when fellow skater Jim shows up to help him figure things out. Jim is hot, a good skater, and an all around good guy. Too bad Fog's coach wants him to stick to strictly training. Will an offer to let Fog stay at Jim's place lead to something more, or is skating the only thing on Fog's mind?

Sample

Dude.

He stepped out of the taxi and looked around, just about as wide-eyed as he could be.

The Olympic Oval.

Him.

Dude.

Chris Fogerty stood there, staring at the building that housed what Troy said was the fastest ice in the world. He still couldn't believe it. Man, you break a couple records and suddenly your happy ass is in fucking Canada, your coach promising to come out in a week after meeting sponsors and shit.

Dude.

Fog just looked, staring like the world's biggest idiot, duffle bag in one hand, skate bag in the other. Okay. Okay. Man. Breathe. You go in, you tell the people who you are. You skate. You find a cheap place to park it overnight. Him and Troy were playing it tight with the money. No extras. No temptations. No nothing 'til he could prove he could do this and not fuck it up.

He took one deep breath and then another and then just headed in, pretending as best he could that he was supposed to be there.

See him.

See him strut.
