    Summary

    ch. 3: “It had been a giddy little plan for a quickie over the counter, hadn’t it; now the smeared wreck of Shane's face caught the self-indulgent edge of Ilya's control. Shane lolled his head up when Ilya didn’t let go of his cheek. A grin tugged along the sunshaft of Ilya looking, of Shane looking back. Fucking Saturdays.”

    Summary

    Rose Landry is shooting yet another X-Squad sequel in Montreal this month, and they planned her visit to Shane and Ilya's place in Ottawa ages ago; it's just a weird coincidence that Shane is out for a few games with a shoulder strain, and able to hang out with Rose tonight while Ilya's busy playing a home game against Dallas.

    In which Rose and Shane drink a little too much wine on their girls' night, and Shane winds up with a face full of makeup. It would be a shame if Ilya came home unexpectedly and caught him looking like this!

    ~~
    Or: Rose is an ally, makes Shane pretty, and Ilya rails him about it.

    Summary

    “Hollander. Relax. So you lost one game,” Ilya said. “Big deal. Win next time.”
    “It is a big deal,” Shane said. His hands were clenched tightly into fists. “It’s not just the game. You know I can’t afford to fuck up like this, not this close to playoffs. It’s a pretty big deal. Fuck. And it’s my fault. I wasn’t focused. I can play better than that, and I just… didn’t.” 
    “Okay, your fault, so what?” Ilya shrugged. “You think you should be punished for this?”

    Summary

    Finally, Shane took a deep breath. "I-I want you to spank me." The words were muttered quickly, barely intelligible, and when they were out, Shane held his breath.

    There was an elongated pause, giving Shane enough time to start panicking. Right when he was about to apologize and promise to never bring it up again, Ilya smirked. "Is that all?"

    Shane learns how to ask for what he wants. Later, Ilya learns the same.

    Summary

    “How did you learn to tie knots like this?”
    “I was Boy Scout.”
    “Are there Boy Scouts in Russia?”
    Ilya let the rope around Shane’s chest go slack. “Want to be tied or no?”

    ------

    Ilya's versed in shibari and knows Shane will be his perfect rope bunny.
