    Summary

    Hudson finally decides to bite the bullet now—here, in the corner of a too-loud gay bar that smells like heavily poured vodka sodas and sweat—and ask the question no interviewer had yet dared to.

    “Have you ever been with another guy?”

    Connor sips his drink slowly, licks his lips over a smile. “Can't imagine how that's relevant.”

    Summary

    “God, Rozanov.” Shane picked up the bra off the back of Ilya’s desk chair and dangled it by the strap. “You couldn’t even bother to clean up after your…your, uh, lady visitors?”

    Ilya glanced over his shoulder, then turned back to the bed. “Ah, no.” He gave a half smile, straightening the sheets. “Is mine, actually.”

    Summary

    Shane’s jaw drops. “Rozanov?”

    Jesus Christ. He hasn’t seen Rozanov since the Olympics, which was five years ago. As far as he knew— because he’d never actually learned where the fuck Rozanov disappeared to— Rozanov had stayed in Russia instead of coming back to the USA to play out the rest of his contract with Boston.

    And yet, here he is. In fucking Florida, in a fucking tattoo shop.

    After securing his third Cup win, Shane makes an appointment at a tattoo studio in Florida to get a commemorative tattoo.

    His tattoo artist is Ilya Rozanov.
