    Summary

    “If you ever talk about my fiancé like that again, then I will end your career.”

    The words are pure vitriol, dripping from Shane’s mouth like venom from the fangs of a snake. He doesn’t raise his voice, he doesn’t even sound angry, he just sounds lethal. Like a man you don’t want to cross. Like a man who fully intends to honour his promise…or threat.

    He’s met with stunned silence.

    Summary

    Shane blinked away the easy haziness settling over his mind and turned, his mouth going dry and his heart stuttering to a stop in his chest as he pieced together what was happening. One of Shane’s extra jerseys – one used almost exclusively for photos – was pulled across Ilya’s body, clinging to his chest and shoulders and loosening around his waist where his body tapered in. 

    “Oh my God,” Shane exhaled, fairly certain that he might be dying and this was the first glimpse of heaven he was going to get. 

    Ilya turned slowly, grinning, and showed off the HOLLANDER spreading across his back and Shane’s number branding him. “You played so well, Mr. Hollander. I’m such a fan of you.”

    Summary

    With every part of him, Ilya had bewitched Shane; the chirping, the aggressive way he played, skating circles around everyone else but Shane, the incandescent way he seemed to glow with the reflection of the ice beneath their skates; everything about him made him weak, and at the same time, it made him stronger.

    Maybe that’s why, when everything settled between them, Shane started to settle too; his personality becoming more true to himself, more snippy, more petty. And most importantly, more protective of what was his.

    Summary

    "He wants this, he was made for wanting this, only this man, only ever this man, in this place where music washes over them like it was written with them in mind, like everything unsayable can be said in the thrust and give of their bodies, the pulse and recognition of their cells and atoms and sparks and whatever makes them flesh and blood. Whatever he has to bruise within or without him, Rozanov can have."

    Five bruises between two lovers, over eight years.
