    “Are you hard?” Ilya craned his neck. It was actually difficult to see; Shane’s shorts were loose.

    “Eighteen.”

    “You didn’t answer me,” Ilya said. “Eighteen again.”

    Shane did another pushup. He paused at the top, arms trembling faintly. His face was red. “Yes,” he said.

    “You didn’t count,” Ilya said. His mouth was dry. “Eighteen again.”

    Shane twitched. He did another pushup, graceful. “Eighteen,” he said.

    Summary

    Ilya was good at noticing things about people, and he was good at understanding them. Shane was not. That was okay. Shane had developed his own way of getting to know Ilya. It involved a lot of inane questions and, more importantly, no longer involved condoms.

    Summary

    Urgent missive from Napoleon to his wife Josephine: Home in three days. Don’t wash.

    “I’ve been thinking about what I want as a reward if you win,” Ilya says, stroking along the skin of Shane’s arm.

    Shane snorts into Ilya’s curls.

    “If I’m winning, why are you getting the reward?”

    Ilya stops his caressing and gives Shane a light smack.

    “Because I am your boyfriend now, not just a hookup. This comes with privileges.”

    “Oh yeah?” Shane rolls his eyes where Ilya can’t see him.

    “Yes. Like when you get awards, you must say I could not do this without support from my team, my coaches, and my partner. It’s me, the partner.”

    “Fine, fine,” Shane acquiesces, “What does my supportive partner want as his reward for my win?”
