Summary
He thought he’d pulled it off. He thought he got away with it.
Ilya just wanted more time.
He just wanted the opportunity to pause a bit, to take his time with Shane’s body other than in the confines of a dark hotel room, and to get to see a bit more of Shane’s intriguing mind. He thought it might help quench the unexplained thirst for him, that he has for no one else.

Summary
At the rink, during the games, Ilya is focused, his goal is clear, and he is locked in on it.
When he’s out of the ice, Ilya feels like a lion in a cage, like he’s pacing around an enclosure that is too small, too tight, too stifling as he counts down the days until the next Raiders’ game against the Metros.
***
Or, after the tuna melt incident and the game that followed, Ilya decides to give Shane some time to cool off before he reaches out.(A continuation of “Love’s the Death of Peace of Mind”, but can be read as a stand-alone).

Summary
Ilya loves sex.
Because it’s the most natural, pleasurable activity that any two (or more) consenting adults can engage into that doesn’t come with a defined process, or a one-size-fits-all way of doing it. It’s a dialogue, a very unique give and take between the people involved, a creative, singular experience each time.
He also never repeats sexual encounters with anyone.
There are two exceptions to that rule. Svetlana, and Shane Hollander.***
or: Ilya tries to understand why Shane Hollander has managed to become a rare exception to his rule.Set right pre-tuna melt, and sets the scene to their meeting at Ilya's.
Edit: can be read as a standalone, but now included in a series, as a prologue to my pieces on the tuna melt incident and its aftermath from both their POV

“Yet each man kills the thing he loves
By each let this be heard

Some with a flattering word
The coward does it with a kiss
The brave man with a sword.”Oscar Wilde, The Ballad of Reading Gaol

Summary
"Who’s the cute guy in the white jacket?” Shane whispered into Rose’s ear, his hand covering his mouth. She looked at him incredulously and then gestured all around them. Many men were in white jackets. “He has a thick accent. I think Russian?”
“Oh, that guy?” she nodded towards the man who had talked to Shane, and Shane nodded hurriedly. “That’s Ilya Rozanov,” Rose said, her voice tickling Shane’s ear.

Summary
Ilya only knows how to survive by keeping his head above water.
Shane has always been in a state of free fall.
They were never meant to be gentle with each other. It’s a good thing that neither of them knows how to let go.

Summary
Ilya's eyes snapped. Something hot behind them. "You think you are better than me?"
Shane shook his head. It was like comparing apples and oranges, he wasn't sure how to even measure who was better. "No, and you know that's not what I meant. It's true, I'm more likely to get called up before you, and-"
Ilya propped himself up, nose now inches from Shane's. Shane couldn't help looking at his lips, flushed from running. To his horror, Ilya seemed to notice, and he started grinning.
"I think I will catch you." Ilya said, casually. "I cannot let you play without me. Would be no fun."
