    Summary

    This is how it happens sometimes.

    Ilya’s usually the one in charge. He says just the right filthy, loaded, and persuasive words. He strips them both and pushes Shane onto the bed or the nearest flat surface. From the moment things get heated, Shane is usually putty in his hands.

    Sometimes, though. Sometimes Ilya doesn’t call the shots (sometimes, maybe, he doesn’t want to). Sometimes, Shane makes a sharp, straightforward statement, leaving Ilya feeling unmoored. When this happens, any chance Ilya had at being in control is instantly gone.

    Seven words from Shane, and Ilya loses every bit of power he may have held.

    or, Shane walks Ilya like a dog.

    Summary

    He didn't think about what would come after they had sex. He didn't consider that perhaps once they've fucked, the excitement Ilya was obviously feeling while chasing him would be gone. Because he might not have gotten a reply to any of his texts, but he's pretty sure no answer is still very much an answer and Ilya's just waiting for him to get the fucking hint already.
    _________

    For six months Ilya doesn't reply to any of his texts.
    Shane feels hurt and angry and humiliated, but most of all he's annoyed with himself for being so pathetic that the thought of not going back to Ilya disappears the moment Ilya's eyes are on him.
