    Summary

    Shane Hollander is tired of wanting someone he cannot have, and he’s dying as he waits for someone who will not stay. Someone who doesn’t want to stay, not when there are so many others waiting for him. Fun of another variety, Shane left a treat amongst many.

    It’s humiliating. It’s distracting. And it feels like shit.

    He wishes he could erase his feelings, move on as easily. In an effort to gain back control over the ‘situation’ that has become his romantic attraction to a notorious player, Shane attempts at imitating Ilya Rozanov’s methods until he perfects them and becomes as good as keeping it light and casual as his rival.

     

    Or Shane tries to Hoe Phase himself into a self discovery journey to choke and kill his feelings for Ilya Rozanov. Ilya is not the only who suffers from it, but he sure feels like he’s being choked and killed.

    Story ends after chapter 6 but I keep writing bonus because the hyper fixation doesn’t end.

    Summary

    During the Rose interlude Shane gets an Oura ring sponsorship and wears it on his right ring finger. Ilya, being Russian, loses his goddamn mind about it.

    Disclaimer: this is not an ad and I do not know how Oura rings work (but it’s ok because I’m pretty sure neither Shane nor Ilya really do either).

    Summary

    “Wow, this is absolutely stunning.”
    “I bet you say that to all the houses.” Ilya teased, shifting past him and moving back to his target: coffee.
    Stevie’s laugh was bright, “Sometimes, yes. But that is also one of the perks of the job. Getting to see so many beautiful houses. You had this designed, yes?”
    Ilya pushed the button for a flat white before he turned. “Yes. With my partner. He is much more into the whole real estate thing than I.”
    At those words, as if summoned, Shane appeared at the top of the stairs, a vibrating Anya at his side.
    Or
    Ilya gets invited to film a Youtube Video for Architectural Digest for his house in Ottawa and he decides not to hide the fact that someone else also lives here in the off season. He could have warned the camera team beforehand, but that would have taken all the fun out of the reveal.
