    Summary

    Rough palms slip past his coat, under his sweatshirt, to his skin. “So it’s not serious then? Your upper body injury.”

    Shane almost laughs. “I don’t know.” He almost cries.

    A hand slides up towards his chest. “Hollander—”

    “Stop.”

    He holds on to Rozanov’s wrists even as they pull away.

    “Did I hurt you?”

    “No,” but the cardiac monitor would’ve been palpable under his skin.

    In September 2010, Shane suffers a cardiac event during training camp before he ever plays a single game with Montreal. Medically retired, he goes to college, returns to hockey through coaching, and, even without the heat of rivalry, finds his way to Ilya, too.

    Summary

    “You take all your hookups here? Secret Playboy Mansion, Mr. Hefner?”

    Hollander is staring at Ilya’s lips now. He’s not trying to hide it even a little bit. “I’m not inviting anyone else—“ Hollander shakes his head once, like a cat sneezing. “Anyway, I’m pretty sure those girls actually live in the Playboy Mansion. This place is an investment property.”

    “Da, investment in me fucking you.” The words aren’t half as playful as Ilya wants them to be when they fall out of his mouth.
