    Summary

    Ilya is plummeting to his death when he closes his eyes, heart full of regret.

    When he opens them in what feels like just a second later, he is standing outside a rink in Regina, Saskatchewan. There’s a banner on the building across the street:

    World Junior Hockey Championship 2009.

    What?

    Summary

    “You didn’t have, like, a favourite book growing up?”

    It’s ridiculous, the way his heart starts beating in his chest like he is in danger. He knows he is not in danger — he is in bed with his husband. But his body feels like he is in danger.

    Ilya shifts. “My mother read a lot,” he admits carefully. “She read to me."

     

    Or, Shane reads boring hockey books. Ilya doesn't remember the last time he touched a book. Shane asks so many questions.

    Summary

    The first time they hooked up, Rozanov had kissed him before Shane got on his knees. They kissed with Scott Hunter in the room next-door. They kissed slowly and sweetly, on his apartment stairway, after Rozanov had taken his world apart and put him back together again. Even in that bathroom, where he felt as if the Russian was trampling on his bared soul, Rozanov had kissed him.

    So why was it different this time? What did he do wrong?

    Shane aches with how much he wants—needs the other man. There is a hollow numbness in his chest every time he thinks about those golden curls and ocean eyes, and he hates himself for wishing he could have more.

    ---

    Wanting Hollander is dangerous, because Ilya is wanting more than he’s allowed to have. But Ilya keeps wanting more and more, because he is vain, selfish, undisciplined. He wants to have Hollander in his arms, sweet, warm, and gorgeous.

    And he will always regret it later, in the quiet moments that come in the aftermath, in the small and lingering ache that follows him once they are apart.

    Or: Shane spirals and avoids Ilya post-Vegas. Ilya chases after him, and they talk.
