Chapter 1 | Clean Take-Out (Author-Narrated)

A semi-pro curling rink in Sudbury, Ontario, where the ice never forgets pressure and ambition lingers long after careers stall.Four men. One forgotten sheet.And a rhythm built on control, silence, and years of almost making it.Nate Holling, once promising, now holding the rink together with discipline and restraint.Cal Bennett, steady and immovable, keeping the system from breaking.Evan Price, light on the surface, tension just beneath.Then Jonah Mercer arrives. Sharper. Faster. Used to better ice and bigger stages.A new throw disrupts the rhythm.Collisions replace coordination.Glances linger longer than they should.They don’t call it rivalry at first.They don’t call it desire either.But pressure builds in every pass, every correction, every moment control slips.This is Clean Take-Out Chapter 1: Burned at the Hog Line.From Gay Audio Books, a cinematic sports audio drama about ambition, rivalry, and the dangerous chemistry that forms when two men refuse to yield.Burned at the Hog Line:https://youtu.be/l3ZYxcj6MMkClean Take-Out - Main Theme (Instrumental):https://youtu.be/_cbiGiliZp0—For more from Gay Audio Books, listen on YouTube:⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@GayAudioBooks⁠⁠For official music from SNWB:⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@SNWB.official⁠
