    Summary

    Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.

    “Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.

    And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.

    Just once. Just a single nod.

    Why did he have to nod?

    “Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”

    “Of course.”

    Of course.

    “Was it better?”

    “Yes.”

    +++

    Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

    Summary

    Hudson handed the phone back. He was smiling. “Oh, my.”

    “Insane, right? The man’s a cipher.” Connor put the phone, which was psychically shrieking at him, face-down on the rock. He still felt an intense sense of indignation and embarrassment when he thought back to his attempted seduction of Jacob in the trailer, though he was, as licensed hypnotherapist Colin Tipping advised in his best-selling book, trying to forgive himself.

    “I mean.” Hudson caught his wrist. His hand started travelling up Connor’s forearm, fingers pinching and tugging at the arm-hairs. “Is it really so mysterious?”

    Summary

    “Ooh, are we talking about Jacob’s control issues?” Connor popped up suddenly at Jacob’s shoulder.

    Hudson appeared at Jacob’s other shoulder. “It’s your most Shane-like quality.” They were like needy little kittens, the way they ran off to play but always came back mewing for affection.

    Jacob rolled his eyes. “At least I have a Shane-like quality. That makes one of us.” He gave Hudson’s neck a slow squeeze, enjoying how the muscles shifted under his hand; how Hudson dropped his head a fraction, to let him do it; and how Connor looked at them while Jacob did it, chin tipped up, his eyes alight.
