    Summary

    A decade of near-misses. Operations rerouted. Messages left without names.
    A rivalry built on precision, restraint--and recognition neither of them ever acknowledged.

    Shane Hollander follows rules. Keeps his distance. Finishes the job and moves on.
    His rival doesn’t chase. He waits. He makes it personal.

    When the line between adversary and understanding begins to blur, the danger isn’t exposure.
    It’s what happens when someone sees you clearly--and still chooses to stay.

    --

    OR: Two spies who have spent years learning each other’s patterns finally collide--and realize the most dangerous part was never the mission. It was falling in love.

    Summary

    “Nesmyshlyonysh,” Ilya whispered. The endearment was soft, terrifyingly intimate in the violence. “Calm down. You are having panic attack.”
    He lifted the knife, reversed it in his hand until he was holding it by the blade, leaving the heavy handle exposed.
    “Sleep now,” Ilya said. “I have you.”

    Shane’s cottage is supposed to be his safe place.

    Instead, he wakes up naked, tied to his own bed, with Ilya Rozanov sitting at the foot of it and explaining, very calmly, why kidnapping him is an act of love.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry. I’m—I didn’t see anything.” Shane says mostly unintelligibly. He looks at the girl, who seems completely unfazed by what is happening, simply holding the side of her neck, looking at Shane with a bored expression like this has happened to her before. What the actual fuck? This has certainly not happened to Shane before. “I swear. I won’t say anything.”

    “I know.” Rozanov speaks, licking the blood off his lips, reaching up to catch the rest with a single finger and lick that clean, too.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander has a penthouse apartment, a seven-figure salary, and his face on a cereal box. None of it has ever quieted the voice in his head that says not enough.

    When Ilya shows up at his door on a Tuesday night, Shane has a plan: keep it fast, keep it physical, don't let it get slow. Slow is dangerous. Slow is when Ilya sees too much.

    Ilya sees too much anyway.

    Summary

    “I want you in my hotel room tonight,” Ilya says, satisfied when Hollander’s pupils dilate in response. “I want to take you apart, slowly. Until you’re begging for it.” 

    “Fuck off, asshole,” Hollander breathes out, but the look in his eyes says yes and more please. “You can’t just come back here and–” 

    Just as Ilya is about to lean down and kiss the next words out of Hollander’s mouth, a buzzing sound startles them both. He glances down to see Hollander’s phone vibrating on the countertop with a text notification from someone named Matty.

    Unease begins to pool in Ilya’s stomach.

    ---

    Set in an alternate timeline where Shane resolves to move on after Sochi. When he and Ilya reunite for the MLH Awards in Vegas, Ilya takes the news of Shane's new "friend" about as well as you'd expect.
