Summary
Shane Hollander only meant to attend a few hockey games — a small act of rebellion against the boyfriend who controlled every part of his life. But that night changes everything. The arena becomes a refuge, Rose becomes a friend, and the Montreal Metros become the first place he’s felt safe in years.
No one knows he’s living with domestic violence.
No one knows he’s planning to run.
No one knows how much he’s breaking.And no one expects him to fall for Ilya Rozanov — the loud, brilliant, closeted Russian winger recently traded under suspicious circumstances.
Ilya has secrets he can’t share, a past he can’t escape, and feelings he doesn’t know how to handle.
Shane is learning how to live again.
Ilya is learning how to feel again.
Both are learning how to trust.But when the truth about their pasts threatens to surface, they’ll have to decide whether they can face it together — or lose each other trying.

Summary
Five years ago, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov quietly went their separate ways. They handled their heartbreak differently. Shane cut off his family and friends and focused only on hockey, not that it helped, his game has totally fallen apart. Ilya had the support of the Centaurs, even if they didn't know why they were supporting him.
But when Ilya announces his retirement at the end of the next season, it shakes Shane back to reality. He has one season left to play against the man he still loves; and then, would he ever see him again? As Shane starts to piece his life back together, the biggest missing piece is still Ilya.
Ilya had planned to just enjoy the last season he'd play of professional hockey and obviously try to win another cup. But when Shane reaches back out, he has much more to consider. He never expected to talk to Shane again, but he can't deny that it's everything he's wanted in the last five years.
Can they salvage what they had? Should they even try? How can Shane and Ilya be a part of each other's lives again?

Summary
Shane swallowed heavily. “We should talk, I-”
“Go. Leave, Hollander. You did it before. So go.”
“Rozanov…”
“You got what you wanted. Now you can go.”
Ilya didn’t even look at him as he delivered his final words, his voice cold and devoid of any emotion. Shane waited for a few silent seconds before he gave up, realising Ilya wasn’t going to change his mind. He pulled open the door, hovering in the doorway, waiting for words that never came. His feet refused to move, his heart half hoping Ilya would call his name. But there was only silence. And now that the silence was turned on him, he had no right to hate how much it hurt.
This was exactly what he’d done months ago - turned away, shut down, left Ilya sitting there alone, confused... hurt. Back then, Shane had told himself it was easier this way. Cleaner.
Now he knew what it felt like to be the one left behind.
*****
Shane walked away from Ilya after the tuna melt incident.
But what if Shane never turned up at the All Stars Game in Tampa?
What if that moment had never existed?
Would it have been easier if they’d never become anything at all?

Summary
That’s what made Shane freeze, because if he was quiet and small then he could escape.
Escape what? Ilya? They’re hockey players, they’re loud and rough and brash, it’s normal for them. It’s practically a love language they’ve been learning for over a decade. They barely argue either, nothing real, nothing concrete that isn’t just a softer version of chirping. The only time it’s been real lately was -
Oh, he thinks as he grips the countertop so tightly his knuckles are bone white, I did this.
-
Or, after the Boxing Day fight and the almost plane crash, Shane and Ilya are finally together again. It takes two weeks for everything they've built to nearly break.

“I want. I fucking want. Please don’t stop.” Shane begged, brushing a hand up the back of Ilya’s head. He caught hold of Ilya’s curls and tugged softly. Ilya moaned. “I just need…”
“Tell me, baby. Let me give you what you need.” The words were laced with Ilya’s plea. “Let me take care of my baby. Tell me.”
“Can I have the control now? Let me own you tonight the way you own me.”

Summary
When Ilya walks into the showers and finds Hollander experiencing his first heat, he finds himself having to assist more than he ever expected to.
“What is it?” Rozanov asked in thickly accented English.
“Uh…Do you know what I should do about this heat…?” Shane asked, feeling like a total idiot as he hadn’t prepared what he should say.
“No one told you?” Rozanov said irritably.
“Um, no. I thought I was a beta. No one gave me suggestions for this.”
“Oh, Jesus, Hollander. You’re asking me to walk you through your heat?”
“…Please?” Shane begged.

Summary
"Someone did this to me."
Ilya can only nod, knowing that there's not much else to say. What comfort can he offer, when he can only imagine the turmoil that Shane must feel?
"You're safe now," he offers, hoping that it can offer some measure of solace.
Shane's eyes flit back to him, wide and swallowed up by a tangle of emotions.
"I always was," he says, his voice hushed. "You were there."
• • • • •
Shane is drugged by heat inducers at the club, and Ilya is there to help him through it.
