Summary
Shane likes plans. He likes departure times, hotel confirmations, and knowing exactly where everyone is supposed to be. What he doesn’t like is being stranded in a storm with a broken-down bus, a ruined itinerary, and Ilya—the unfairly attractive Russian passenger who’s spent the last three weeks quietly dismantling every boundary Shane has.
With only one bed between them and nothing left to hide behind, Shane is forced to confront the fact that maybe, for once, he doesn’t want to stick to the schedule.

Summary
After taking a high stick to the face during an away game in Montreal, Ilya ends up in an emergency dentist’s chair with a broken front tooth.
The good news: his tooth can be saved.
The bad news: his dentist is extremely hot.
The worse news: Ilya is about to discover what nitrous oxide does to his already questionable impulse control.

Summary
Heat spread across Ilya's face. His mouth fell open slightly. He let out a short, stuttered laugh of disbelief. This couldn't- he was straight, he wasn't-
“Finally got you at your own game.” Shane's smirk widened to a smile, his hand clapping down on Ilya's shoulder to squeeze it slightly. For once in his life, Ilya was unable to find his voice.
“Damn.” Shane laughed, jostling him a bit. “If I had known this was all it took to get you to shut the fuck up, I would have started flirting back years ago.”
----
When old college friends Ilya and Shane show up to their mutual best friend's wedding, they are ready to fulfill their duties as bridesmen. Even after years of not seeing each other, they fall right back into their usual banter.
Ilya loves to flirt with Shane. Shane loves to tell him to fuck off. It's a running a bit. Nothing more than a joke between two friends; because Shane is gay and Ilya is straight and it doesn't actually mean anything…until Shane finally decides to flirt back, and Ilya's world suddenly tilts on its axis.

Summary
God only knows why he thinks it's appropriate to send what can only be considered borderline nudes to Shane, who is straight and in a committed relationship. Shane, again, tries to talk to Jessica about it, but she assures him that it's no big deal, plus, since they're gonna fuck this week, Shane might as well get comfortable looking at him.
A small part of him takes it as permission. A larger part takes offense. Because why do Ilya's pictures, literally any of them, incite more reaction in Shane's body than any nudes he's gotten from a girl?
Or: Shane's girlfriend wants to watch him get fucked by a man to spice up their relationship. Enter Ilya Rozanov.

Summary
“Sounds boring,” Ilya comments, unable to stop himself. “Okay, so what is that emergency, Sveta? You said guy dropped two days ago.”
“They’ve already tried three different professional doms and nobody managed to take him out of it, so–”
“Who's they?” Ilya interrupts her.
“The hockey team. Montreal Voyagers. They are flying him in to us now.”
"Why plane? Drive to Ottawa takes two hours only.”
“Yes, but apparently he’s… not cooperating.”
The Behavioral Education & Authority Relationships Services. B.E.A.R.S. for short.
(Shane is strong, stubborn, difficult and he bites. Ilya is instantly whipped).
