    Summary

    Ethan finally turned away from the game and made his way over to Shane to press up against his back as Shane slipped his shoes on. Shane turned in his arms to kiss Ethan, but as he brought his face closer, Ethan laughed and pulled back to look at him.

    “Wait, you’re not really gonna wear those ugly reading glasses to dinner, are you?”

    Shane’s face flushed as he reached up and took his glasses off before setting them on the side table next to the door. A loud noise startled him and he looked over to see that Ilya had tossed his game controller onto the coffee table haphazardly. He stood up abruptly, nostrils flared and mouth pinched into a tight line as he stalked off to his bedroom, muttering something in Russian along the way.

    or, Shane has a shitty boyfriend that Ilya can't stand because he's in love with him and everyone in the house knows but Shane.

    Summary

    NHL golden boy Shane Hollander has spent his entire life being perfect — the ideal captain, the flawless teammate, the face of the franchise. He’s also spent his entire life hiding.

    When a chance encounter in a New York club leads him to Ilya Rozanov, Shane discovers what it means to finally let go. The problem? Ilya isn’t just confident, wealthy, and dangerously attractive. He’s also the heir to the Russian Bratva’s North American empire.

    What starts as one reckless weekend becomes something neither of them expected: real, consuming, and worth protecting at any cost — even when that cost includes bodies, lies, and a secret that could destroy everything Shane has built.

    Twenty-five years, three Stanley Cups, countless threats, and one question: how far will you go for the person who makes you feel like yourself?

    Summary

    If there's one thing Ilya's sure of by now, it's that Shane is desperate to be guided, to be told what to do.
    Ilya can't resist. “Look at me.”
    And jesus fucking christ, Shane's eyes meet Ilya's almost instantly, heat pooling low in Ilya's stomach.
    He swallows hard, because Shane is wide-eyed and asking for more, probably without even realizing and it gives Ilya only a glimpse of what he might look like if Ilya kissed him, or knelt in front of him, or pinned him down while driving into him.
    He thinks he might die if he doesn't ever get to find out what Shane sounds like if he makes him moan.
    Something stirs inside Ilya, slowly coming to the surface. “I'd make you feel so good.”

    Shane Hollander has been in an unhealthy relationship for some time. On a particularly lonely Friday night, he's at the Kingfisher by himself. And so is Ilya Rozanov.

    OR Ilya "Mr Steal Your Girl" Rozanov offers everything Shane is missing in his relationship.

    (fic freely inspired by the song "Bad Man" by FIGHTMASTER)

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?” Shane asks Ilya.

    “Svetlana set me up on a blind date,” he responds, doesn’t bother lying. Curious to see what his reaction will be. “What are you doing here?” He throws back.

    Shane’s eyebrows do something complicated. They’re interrupted by a knock on the door.

    “Babe? You okay in there? You’ve been in there for a while,” a voice comes through.

    “I’ll be right out, just washing my hands,” Shane responds stiffly. They hear footsteps walk away from the bathroom.

    “Babe?” Ilya repeats. Watches as Shane’s cheeks turn pink again.

    “That’s Jackson,” Shane states. “My boyfriend. It’s our one year anniversary.”

    “Ah.” Is all Ilya can say. Tries to smile, “Congratulations.”
