Summary
Three weeks had passed since they had seen each other last. Three weeks since that night at a random Montreal club, when Shane realized, too late, that whatever he thought could happen between him and Rozanov, was an illusion. But he was no fool. Shane had caught the flicker of pain on his rival’s face as he kissed that gorgeous stranger, almost as if he had wished his tongue were dancing in someone else's mouth. But he also saw the rage. That raw stare that promised 'I will never forgive you'.
“Did you see the news about Rozanov?”
Shane bit down on the string of his hoodie as he checked the news for himself.
Ilya Rozanov, said to be engaged to a certain Svetlana Vitrova, daughter of famous Soviet hockey goaltender Sergei Vitrov.
OR
Right after episode 4, Ilya is rumored to be engaged to Svetlana, which is enough to make Shane lose his mind.
Shaken by the news, he decides he needs to explore what pleasure and intimacy look like outside of Ilya.
