    Summary

    “This is why you learn how to ride a jet ski before you actually do it.” Shane said.

    “Is your fault Shane, you distract me by looking so cute with your little donuts in the water.”

    “I am not cute!” Shane said.

    “Sure, and the sky isn’t blue.” Ilya huffed. Shane made his adorable angry kitten face and charged at Ilya, trying to wrestle him while still mounted on his jet ski. Shane’s hair was still dry since he hadn’t submerged himself in the water yet. Ilya would fix that soon.

    ***

    Or, Shane rides Ilya on a jet ski in the middle of his private lake.

    Summary

    Alphas aren't supposed to want other Alphas.

    For Shane Hollander, that unspoken societal rule doesn't ring true. It's fine, though. He has everything under control, and the people around him are none the wiser.

    Unfortunately, he never counted on Ilya Rozanov seeing right through him.

    Summary

    Ilya blinked at the page for a moment, then looked up at Shane and laughed.

    Shane immediately grew defensive. "Oh, fuck you! I was trying to be nice." He pulled the book back, but Ilya stopped him when he turned to walk away.

    "Shane Hollander."

    "What?"

    "Privet. Hello."

    "Oh." Shane's pronunciation hadn't been remotely close. "And what about...?" He pointed to the Russian phrase he'd overly-ambitiously tried first.

    "Dobroye utro."

    "Ah. Good morning," Shane said sheepishly.

    "Good morning," Ilya repeated with the most genuine smile Shane had seen from him yet.

    Ilya Rozanov, rising star of the Soviet Union's infamous Red Army team shocked the world in 1989 when he suddenly defected to Canada to play for a mediocre MLH team.

    Shane Hollander, underappreciated and deeply closeted third-liner on said team, was perhaps the most shocked of everyone. The cocky Russian phenom hadn't made the best impression on Shane during a brawl at World Juniors a couple years prior, but when a noticeably sullen Ilya arrived in their locker room, Shane couldn't help but reach out to him.

    Summary

    Shane’s cheeks blushed at the memory and his intense desire to see his husband immediately if not sooner. He responded once more to Ilya’s last message before locking the door behind him.

    Shane 5:30
    Maybe next time you’ll listen to me

    Shane 5:31
    I know you won’t
    but I still love you

    His phone dinged.

    Ilya 5:31
    Love you more

    or

    Shane dies a hero and Ilya can’t live without him. Shane will literally move through heaven and earth and hell to be reunited with Ilya no matter the cost. Can their love find a way when it is impossible, with dangers beyond comprehension, might the effort take everything that makes them who they are and leave nothing behind?
