    Summary

    Shane pulls back, carefully cradling Ilya’s face. “Maybe we shouldn’t.”

    “You don’t want to?” Ilya’s eyes are bottomless; swimming with grief. He says it like he really means, You don’t want me?

    “That isn’t what I mean,” Shane says gently, brushing his thumb over Ilya’s cheekbone. Ilya’s eyes flutter shut, as if being treated so tenderly causes him physical pain. Like he isn’t used to it. “You’re hurting. I don’t want you to regret it in the morning.” 

    Ilya’s eyes open. “I have never regretted a moment with you.”

    Or: the missing hotel room scene in Florida after Shane comforts Ilya.

    Summary

    What if the hit that sidelined Shane was delivered by the one person who’s supposed to protect him?

    What if Ilya can’t forgive himself for the cracked ribs, the torn knee, the pain in Shane’s eyes?

    What if he refuses to touch Shane again, terrified one wrong move will break him further?

    What if Shane thinks Ilya doesn’t want him anymore.

    How will Ilya show him how much he still wants him?

    Summary

    Unfortunately for them, Shane and Ilya are at the cottage on a winter night and there is no wood left for the fire. Fortunately for Shane, Ilya has decided to take matters into his own hands and that means wood-chopping, shirtless. He cannot be blamed for what happens afterwards, he's just a man, after all.

    Summary

    “You sound…” Ilya murmurs against his mouth, barely louder than a breath. “In French. You sound incredible. So beautiful.”

    Shane huffs out a shaky laugh. “You’re exaggerating.”

    “Never,” Ilya says softly, then nudges him with his nose. “Say more.”

    ***

    Ilya loves when Shane speaks French.
