    “So,” Pike said, breaking that. “Ottawa.”

    “Yes,” Ilya agreed. “Ottawa.”

    “It’s impressive,” Pike said and set the dry plate onto the stack in front of him.

    “Is not good team,” Ilya admitted. “Not yet.”

    “That’s what I mean,” Pike said and accepted another plate. “You could go anywhere.”

    “Yes.” The two of them continued in silence for a while longer, both sensing the ceasefire. Then Ilya said, carefully, after working through the wording, “I am glad that Shane has so many good people to love him.” He held out a bowl for Pike to take. “Even if they are all very stupid sometimes.”

    “Even you?” Pike quipped.

    Ilya looked at him sideways and allowed the corner of his mouth to turn up, just a bit. “Yes, Pike,” he said, “Even me.”

    Summary

    No serious hockey fan or sports commentator worth their salt would have considered record-breaking Boston superstar Ilya Rozanov to be Shane Hollander’s rival exactly, but sleeping with a man who had a specific offense-related vendetta against him and a wrist shot like a jet engine to back it up was probably ill-advised just the same.

    Or, Shane is a goalie. Ilya can’t score.

    Summary

    Finding your soulmate is supposed to be beautiful. You stand in front of someone and you say their full name; they say yours. Your soulmarks appear somewhere on your bodies, and it's supposed to be beautiful. Life-changing.

    It's not supposed to happen a week before the World Juniors tournament in a dirty Saskatchewan parking lot. It's not supposed to be Canada's newest darling hockey player and your future rival who whispers your name. It's not supposed to be a boy that your skin blooms for.

    And if that does happen, despite the fact that it shouldn't, you're definitely not supposed to lie to your soulmate's face, refuse to say his name in return, and pretend that you never felt your soulmark appear at all. And if that happens, somehow, you're definitely not supposed to kiss him less than a year later. And then later. And then later. And then later, until you realize you never want to leave his bed despite the fact that you've never told him the truth about the bear tattoo on your chest.

    or, finding out that his soulmate is Shane Hollander isn't beautiful. Ilya can't pretend that it's not life-changing though.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Ilya can see the jut of Hollander’s eyelashes illuminated in the white light of the equipment, and it’s hard to think about anything else.

    Hollander, Ilya is realizing, is like a disease he keeps contracting. Whatever immunity he’d thought he’d built is nowhere to be found and his system is a tailspin, shutting down, ravaged and fractured and riddled with Hollander, so close.

    Ilya’s been too fucking complacent in Boston and now he can see Hollander’s eyelashes.
