    Summary

    Shane’s lived his whole life performing. On the ice, in front of cameras, sometimes even around family and friends. It keeps him safe. Lets him hide in plain sight when he needs a minute to get steady again.

    It’s why he’d thought he could be with Rose and manage fine.

    It isn’t until Florida, until he’s behind Ilya’s hotel room door with his back against cotton sheets and thighs pressed open with familiar, calloused hands that he realizes something’s shifted—that there’s a difference between performing and survival.

    One is a choice. The other… isn’t.
