    Summary

    When the Hollander family trip to Moscow comes to an end, 8-year-old Shane swears he's never going to see Ilya again. He parts from his summer friend with a heavy heart and the certainty that that's the end of their budding friendship.

    Over a decade later, Ilya walks into his life again, all grown and handsome; his thick accent is a hint, but what gives his identity away is the bracelet tied around his wrist. There should be no reason for Ilya to be in Montreal, and yet here he is.

    Shane takes a deep breath and reintroduces himself, completely unaware of the whirlwind Ilya is about to take him in.

    Summary

    From across the rink, Shane watches Ilya get punched in the face.
    He keeps a distance from the mess playing out. He knows better than to go over and make it worse. He would be more worried about it if Ilya wasn’t laughing with blood running down his face as one of his teammates drags him away. He’s yelling at the player that punched him, and Shane is grateful he can’t hear what he’s saying because he knows it’s obscene.
    “Your boy is feral tonight,” Pike says to Shane.
    Shane groans. “He's not my boy.”

    When Shane is in junior high, Ilya's family moves to Canada. Instead of meeting as adults, they grow up together. Shane learns Russian and Ilya spends a majority of his time at the Hollander household. When they start their professional hockey careers, they have to learn how to be opponents instead of teammates, but also how to be apart for the first time in their lives. When Ilya suggests that they sleep together, Shane has to balance their friendship and their casual relationship.

    Summary

    Shane is silent for so long that Rozanov leans, slouching against the doorframe, and raises his eyebrows at him expectantly. “Yes? You are selling bibles?”
    “You fucked my girlfriend.” It tears out of him.
    “Ah,” Rozanov drawls, as if the thought is just now occurring to him, “yes. I did.”

    Summary

    His entire body felt tense as the door was pushed open. He trained his eyes on the floor, monologuing before he could stop himself,

    “Just so you know, my buddies paid for this dance for me and I’m sure you’re very nice and very pretty and good at what you do but I’m actually gay so you can just- Do what you need to do but I don’t want you to be offended because I’m not as into this as you’re probably…usually…used to…”

    He trailed away as he looked up, and met the eyes of the very tall, very broad, very handsome man leaning against the doorframe.

    They stared at each other, and Shane blinked, struck dumb.

    Or, the night of JJ's bachelor party, Shane is forced into a lap dance he very much does not want. Until he does, and everything changes.

    Summary

    “Go get laid, dude.” Hayden had snickered at him while they sat at the bar in the Hotel. The others had laughed at the innocent joke while Shane's face felt like it would explode any second.

    And maybe it wouldn’t hurt to have someone to talk to about something else for once. Maybe his obsession with hockey wasn't that healthy after all.

    So Shane did the one thing that made the most sense: downloading the first “dating app” that popped up in the App Store to try to meet new people. Preferably people who don’t know who he is.

    Or

    Shane downloads a dating app and out of every possible person, he matches with none other than Ilya Rozanov.
    But neither know who the other person is
