    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has been saying I love you into the void his whole life.

    To his mother’s cold hands at twelve, making promises she can’t hear. To his teammates through fist bumps in tunnel rituals that cost nothing because they ask for nothing. To a sleeping man, in Russian, because his native language is the only container safe enough for what he actually feels. To a country he is slowly losing the ability to love back.

    He keeps saying it. No one says it back.

    Until they do.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander's world ends on the ice in the last game of the season. He wakes up with synesthesia—every voice floods his vision with colors so overwhelming he can't stand to be around anyone. His best friend makes him sick. His parents give him headaches.

    Except Ilya Rozanov. His rival. The man he's been sleeping with in secret for three years. Ilya's voice is the only one that doesn't hurt.

    So Shane does the only thing he can: retreats to his cottage and calls Ilya to come stay. Alone together, they can't hide anymore.

    Summary

    “I want you to use me.”

    Ilya pauses, hot dog halfway to his mouth, his eyebrows scrunching up and holding, even as he finishes taking a bite. The confusion sits there the entire time he’s chewing, looking at Shane expectantly. When Shane doesn’t say anything else, he swallows down his mouthful with a swig of beer and smacks his lips obnoxiously.

    “Use for what?”

    “Sex,” Shane says. He keeps his volume level, resists the urge to drop into a whisper. It feels so wrong to say this sort of stuff with the sunlight on his back. “I want you to use me for sex.”

    “I do not do this already?”
