    Summary

    Shane (to himself): This is great. I'm going to get a good grade in friends with benefits, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,

    Or:

    When Shane sticks it out at Ilya's house, and the tuna meltdown doesn't happen, he still walks away confused about what Ilya actually WANTS from him. When an opportunity presents itself in the form of Rose Landry and a very thorough PR relationship contract, Shane decides to take advantage of it to show Ilya that he can be a totally chill and normal friend with benefits, and definitely isn't too attached.

    Summary

    "Almost a year of stolen moments, of hooking up every time they get the chance, of Shane yielding more and more of himself, of Ilya being more and more free and greedy with his touches. Always pushing a little further, always desperate for each other, always indescribably better than anything else ever has been, ever could be. And then the aftermath, holding Shane while the clock ticks down in his head, how many more seconds can Ilya allow himself to stay before he has to creep out into the night like the thief that he is.

    For tonight, the clock has run out. He’s stolen enough seconds of Shane’s warmth and sweetness. If Ilya stays any longer his secret will bleed out of him, Shane will realize that Ilya shouldn’t still be here or the words Ilya is always thinking in these stolen moments will pour out of him and then Shane will know and things will probably be over between them. And Ilya can’t give up what he has of Shane, even though he wants so much more. "

    ______________

    In the first year that they're hooking up, Shane goes into subdrop as Ilya is leaving. Somehow, this is the best thing that ever happened for their relationship.

    Summary

    In a world where omegas have few rights and unmated alphas in professional hockey are required by league regulations to be paired with a state cleared omega by age 26, Ilya Rozanov, a Russian alpha with a fiery temper and a disciplinary record, is handed a stack of twelve files and told to pick his omega. To everyone's surprise, he picks the one nobody else would touch: Shane Hollander, twenty-three, a former Montreal Metros defenseman who lied his way through two years of pro hockey on suppressants and forged paperwork before he was outed during an uncontrolled heat. Three years in a state center have left him hollowed out, terrified, and rated a 5 on a temperament scale. Shane has spent those three years bracing for the worst.
