    Summary

    Everyone has a soulmate. Your soulmate is your other half - someone who completes your life and makes you feel whole.

    On your sixteenth birthday, you receive your soul-mark: the first words your soulmate will ever say to you. Some people spend their whole lives waiting to hear those words. Others choose not to believe in soulmates at all. Then, there are those who hear their words from the lips of a rival and simply refuse to believe it.

    vibin @blueeyed789: So Hayden Pike is chopped liver then

    When Shane Hollander is hurt on the ice and Ilya Rozanov is called out in the middle of the game to be with him, Hayden Pike and the internet spiral. Secret marriage. Bad PR. A nurse with an NDA. Hockey Twitter never stood a chance.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is the number two overall NHL draft pick and a newly minted Montreal Voyageur. He’s also laser focused on his goals: being the best by beating the best. For him, this means a continued rivalry with number one draft pick—and new Ottawa Centaur—Ilya Rozanov. But when a problem with Rozanov’s immigration paperwork threatens his future in the NHL, what does that mean for Shane’s own career? He can’t risk finding out…so they get married. Just for immigration. A fast, practical, mutually beneficial solution.

    No one will ever suspect, let alone find out, that the NHL’s greatest rivals are secretly married. And there’s certainly no risk of feelings getting involved. They have a game plan.

    Summary

    “We’ll crush you next time.”

    “Mm, you won’t,” Ilya retorts, along with kisses down Shane’s chest. “But don’t worry. I’ll send you flowers.”

    Shane’s fingers go into Ilya’s hair, and Ilya hears a mumbled, “I don’t need flowers,” before a moan drowns it out.

    --

    or: Ilya and Shane sending each other flowers starts out as a joke, and then becomes like a confession.

    Summary

    Being around Ilya is good—better than nearly any other time, because he knows Shane better than anybody else. He can belong around Ilya. He belongs to Ilya, in a way, and Ilya belongs to him.

    Shane likes to express that belonging in unconventional ways. Most of all, he loves being on his knees for him.
