    Summary

    “Ilya, what are we gonna do?” Shane says.

    Ilya finishes whatever he has been doing on his phone, and tosses it gently to the bed beside him. He crosses the room to Shane, stands in front of him, squeezes into his shoulders with his big hands, rubbing them like he means to warm them up.

    “Looks like we will have a little vacation,” he says, with a big obnoxious grin.

     


     

    Boston and Montreal are sent to Paris to play against each other in an exhibition series in January 2017. Ilya and Shane decide to stay in Paris for one more night. Just one more night, so they can talk. Maybe finally understand each other.

    They aren't expecting a volcano to erupt in Iceland and close all the airspace in Europe, leaving them stranded there. Together.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander, hockey enthusiast and licensed massage therapist, is an expert in helping athletes keep their bodies in tip-top shape. Working with the Boston Raiders should've been his career milestone.

    One Ilya Rozanov makes things much, much more complicated. Relentless on the ice and unreadable everywhere else, Ilya unsettles Shane in ways that have nothing to do with hockey and everything to do with proximity, restraint, and the dangerous pull of something unspoken.

    OR

    Shane is a sports therapist that starts working with the Boston Raiders.

    Strong hands shifted to the back of Shane’s head, to the nape of his neck. That’s when time began to blur, seconds melting together until they barely existed at all. That’s when Rozanov leaned in – and when Shane followed. Like the strike of flint against wood. They existed in that moment, and in the wildfire that followed.

    Summary

    There are five miles left on Shane’s commute when his car stalls on Route 136. A litany of swears light up the inside of his luxury vehicle at the same time his check engine and coolant lights blink.

    When he is dropped off at Rozanov's with a broken down car, he realizes that the head mechanic may do more than just tune up his engine.

    Summary

    "Happy to be of service," Hayden bowed, and Shane laughed, just as the door clicked open again behind him.
    "Who is this?" A deep voice asked abruptly, in an accent that Shane dimly noticed sounded Russian.
    "Our new roommate, Rozanov," Hayden rolled his eyes with a long-suffering sigh. "I literally told you about him last night."
    Shane turned to see one of the most attractive men he'd ever seen in his life standing a foot away from him.
    Realizing he'd been staring for a moment too long, Shane stuck out his hand. "I'm Shane Hollander."
    The young man appraised him with disinterest for several seconds before saying, "Okay."
    Shane dropped his hand, his face burning.
    "Shane, this is Ilya Rozanov, but everyone just calls him Rozanov," Hayden exhaled. "And he is my asshole roommate of two years, going on three, and now one of your roommates.”
    Rozanov smirked. “You are mad I get my own room while you share with him.”
    “Oh, fuck off, Rozanov,” Hayden retorted. “Unlike you, I have friends, and one of them is Shane.”
    “I have friends,” Rozanov dismissed.
    “Friends that you don’t fuck,” Hayden clarified.

    Summary

    Ilya couldn't deal with the secrecy, and he walked away. When a photo of Shane making out with an unknown man is leaked by TMZ, both men try to move on in very different ways.
    -
    “Holly shit,” Harris exclaimed, startling Ilya.
    “You ok, babe?” Troy looked up from a book he was reading.
    “Shane Hollander was just outed,” Harris informed the hockey players who were staring at him.
    “What?” Ilya sat up, his blood run cold.
    “It's all over Twitter,” Harris said, and Ilya quickly opened the app; sure enough, the first post on his timeline was the TMZ headline: Hockey star Shane Hollander spotted kissing an unidentified man outside gay club
