    Summary

    “You didn’t have, like, a favourite book growing up?”

    It’s ridiculous, the way his heart starts beating in his chest like he is in danger. He knows he is not in danger — he is in bed with his husband. But his body feels like he is in danger.

    Ilya shifts. “My mother read a lot,” he admits carefully. “She read to me."

     

    Or, Shane reads boring hockey books. Ilya doesn't remember the last time he touched a book. Shane asks so many questions.

    Summary

    The room went quiet for exactly three seconds before it erupted.

    "Holy shit, Rozanov has a date!"

    "Who is she?"

    "How long has this been going on?"

    "Is she hot?"

    Ilya let them speculate, keeping his expression carefully neutral as he finished changing. This was the game he'd gotten good at over the past year: deflecting without lying, misdirecting without being obvious about it. His teammates were good guys, but they didn't need to know. Couldn't know.

    Nobody could know that Ilya Rozanov's Valentine's Day plans involved Shane Hollander.

    Or, Hollanov are still a secret, Shane is making an exception on his diet, and Ilya has something to celebrate.

    Summary

    “If you don’t come here, I will come to you.”

    “Rozanov.”

    “I will drive,” Ilya tells him without sympathy. “Park illegally in my big muscle car. Everyone will notice. Lots of photos, probably.”

    Shane rubs his forehead. He gets to his feet and glances at his bag, still packed, on the hotel dresser.

    “I hate your car,” he says, at last.

    “Yes, I know,” Ilya says. It sounds like he’s smiling.
