Summary
“English is… is not first language,” the woman said quietly. Her accent was thick, and unmistakably Russian.
“Oh, sorry! I’m speaking too fast, aren’t I? Sorry,” she took a breath, and held out her hand. “I’m Yuna,” she repeated. The woman took her hand quickly, her hands bony and delicate.
“Irina,” she replied, before gesturing for Yuna to sit with her. Quickly, Yuna did. “Sorry, I have not been in Canada long.”
“No problem at all; welcome to Canada! Is that your boy?” Yuna asked, gesturing over to the child that had similar hair to Irina, which was poking out from under his helmet. He was taller than Shane, though his little hockey outfit still seemed to still dwarf him. He had a serious look on his face, but his eyes were light as he watched the other boys play. He was tapping his stick on the ice, clearly itching to get into the game.
“Ah, yes,” Irina nodded, taking a few seconds to translate the question, “Ilyusha.” Irina looked over at her son, a small smile on her face. “Is my Ilya.”
Or: Ilya and Irina move to Canada for a fresh start when he is six years old. He meets Shane Hollander at ice hockey practice, and they grow up together (and of course, fall in love).

Summary
“You have to relax,” Ilya croons, his hand running up and down Shane’s side.
“I know, I’m trying,” Shane says through gritted teeth.
“Mm, I think the point is to not try. You do not need to try so hard here.”
Those words unexpectedly bring tears to Shane’s eyes. He’s never been told he doesn’t have to try before. He lets out a breath he didn’t know he was holding and at the same time, Ilya pushes his finger in, down to the knuckle. The feeling would have knocked the air out of Shane anyway.
“Good?”
“Good,” Shane breathes.
September, Freshman Year. On Bid Day, Ilya takes Shane's virginity.

Summary
That thought settles into his brain dangerously. Ilya’s been with everyone. Girls. Guys. Others. What's another person on the list?
If Shane wants experience…
If he wants to stop feeling behind…
Why not Ilya?
Yes, he was a complete asshole that Shane wished he could choke to death sometimes and his brother's childhood bestfriend, but it wouldn’t mean anything. It's for the experience, the education of it all.
For hockey.
Obviously.
Or: Ilya Rozanov has always been Shane Hollander’s older brother’s best friend. He was never supposed to become Shane’s first everything.

Summary
“Oh, so it’s going to be that kind of game tonight?” Hayden’s eyebrows were raised high, his lips twitching as pulled his shirt over his head.
Shane dragged his eyes up from his phone to give Hayden a blank look. “What?”
Hayden scoffed. “Like you don’t know.” He glanced meaningfully at the phone in Shane’s hand. “Did you think you were hiding it?”Or -
