Summary
“Should call you the Ottawa Puppies,” says the Toronto centre, Svensson. As an insult it makes no sense, so Ilya ignores it, until he continues, “Hear Hollander keeps you on a short leash.”
Ilya is the captain, so if anything, he should be holding the leash. In English, you can be singular or plural, but he knows what Svensson is trying to say. He is saying Ilya Rozanov, you are Hollander’s bitch.
“Only sometimes,” Ilya replies, grinning. He wins the face off.
OR: Ilya trains himself to be a very, very good guard dog for Shane.

Summary
How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said. — Victor Hugo
A series of kisses; some for comfort, some for distraction, some for affection, and some for play. They are beginnings, endings, and all that lie in-between.

Summary
Not that Henry was an exhibitionist, strictly; certainly not like James and Dundy, who actively enjoyed exhibiting themselves, nor even like Solomon, who didn’t seem to care either way whether the door was open or closed. But there was something thrilling about someone else seeing Henry and John together, like somehow John’s attraction to Henry would be made more real if someone else witnessed it: like John’s conspicuous, proud, irrefutable gayness would somehow affirm Henry’s own masculinity.
