    Summary

    Shane Hollander, investment banker, loves the predictable normality of his life. He's not lonely. He has his job, his friends, his Friday night hockey, his more than comfortable penthouse apartment.

    He doesn't need complications. He doesn't need a relationship. He needs stability. Routine. Predictability.

    Or so he tells himself.

    Until the day he trips over a stray dog while running, and life takes a turn he didn't see coming.

    Ilya Rozanov owns a VIP dog daycare for the dogs of celebrity clients. Life doesn't get much better than being surrounded by dogs all day. Even if their celebrity owners can be fucking insane sometimes.

    Then Shane Hollander walks into his life with a small, scruffy stray dog. Definitely not Ilya's usual type of clientele, but he's intrigued. And maybe a little attracted.

    Will Shane allow his carefully ordered life to be disrupted by this unexpected turn of events - and by a ridiculously hot Russian who adores both dogs and chaos?

    Summary

    “You want to talk to people about me?” Shane asked quietly.

    There was something small and confused in the question. But Ilya was still furious and raw.

    “Well I would,” he sneered, “if there was anything about you that was fucking interesting to talk about! It would be nice to not be so fucking bored and miserable!”

    The second the words left his mouth, he watched the pain roll across Shane's features like a thousand fractures shattering through glass.

    Ilya had seen Shane nearly break ribs. He had seen him miss game-winning shots, take hits that left bruises blooming purple and black across his skin. He had never seen this.

    Shane closed his eyes for a long moment. He shook his head slightly, a tiny movement, then nodded once as if agreeing with something only he could hear. His face twisted briefly with a fresh wave of pain before he forced it to still.

    ---------

    What if Shane and Ilya don't make up so easily after the Boxing Day fight? The Centaur's plane never malfunctions, so Shane never proposes. Instead, Ilya gives him an ultimatum on coming out and going public. It backfires spectacularly.

    Summary

    “Baby, you’ll never find someone if you’re that scared of meeting people.”

    “Leave him alone, Rosy,” Jackie waves a hand in the air: “He’ll find someone when he’s ready.”

    “It’s not that—” Shane’s words wobble out like a whisper, like his tongue turned to rubber because of the alcohol.

    Rose is too invested in her thesis to even pay him attention: “I’m just saying! It’s for his health! I don’t think he should be spending all of his heats alone, that’s it. It can’t be healthy.”

    It’s not that—I have this—this thing—

    “I don’t think I can orgasm,” he blurts out.

    ―

    Or the one where Shane Hollander, at twenty seven, is the first male-omega captain of the Montreal Metros. Under his belt, he has two Stanley Cups, forty million dollars of net worth and zero orgasms. This must change. (Rose suggests a check up might help). (Jackie knows a great gynecologist downtown).

    Summary

    “Sshhh, it’s all right,” Shane tells him, “Just breathe, okay? Just breathe for me, baby. We can talk when you’re ready.”

    Ilya’s breath hitches. Then his sobs increase and Shane tightens his arms around him. Ilya’s fingers curl into the fabric of Shane’s shirt, and Shane rocks him gently back and forth.

    “I’ve got you,” Shane whispers, repeating the words again and again and again. He presses a kiss to Ilya’s hair, to his brow, to any part that he can reach. And he doesn’t let go. He never, ever lets go.

    Set during "The Long Game" when Shane drives away the morning after Ilya’s Halloween party, and Ilya breaks down crying.

    What if Shane comes back? What if he finds Ilya? How might this one revelation change the course of events?
