    Summary

    A handsome, panicked face swims into view, and Ilya isn’t sure, but he thinks the man is calling his name.

    “…ya – hey! There you are,” the stranger says shakily, one strong hand clutching Ilya’s face. “Fuck, Ilya, you’ve gotta stay awake, okay? They’re coming, just hold on. I’m here.”

    He’s ethereal under the stadium light. It falls like white water over his dark, messy halo of hair, caresses the edges of his tensed jaw and the anguish etched into his face, outlines the curve of his full, trembling lips as he looks down at Ilya, trying to hold Ilya’s gaze with his own.

    Summary

    When 18-year-old Shane Hollander—newly drafted to the Montreal Metros and desperately underfunded—meets the mysterious, wealthy Ilya Rozanov at SportChek, his life tilts on its axis. Ilya buys him everything: top-tier gear, a meal, and later, a transaction that becomes something far more complicated than either anticipated.

    Summary

    “Shane?” Ilya asks again. “What happened?” His gloveless hand twitches and he lifts it a fraction of an inch towards Shane.

    Shane tosses his own gloves to the ice and reaches forward, lacing their fingers together. “You took a bad hit,” he says, gritting his teeth against the fear clawing at his guts. “Flipped headfirst into the ice. Are you okay?”

    Ilya groans in answer and squeezes his hand, though Shane can't tell if he meant to do that or not.

    Suddenly, there are people all around them. Shane shifts protectively close before he realizes it’s the medical team.

    “Hollander, get back to your bench,” someone says, but there’s no way Shane’s going. Even if he wanted to, Ilya’s gripping his hand like a lifeline, eyes finally locked on Shane’s face. Shane isn’t leaving him.

    Summary

    Shane steps closer, standing between Ilya’s legs. “I guess that explains it, hm? You don’t have to be confident or good when you’re packing that, do you? You just let people use your big,” Shane accentuates the word by leaning down and touching Ilya’s cock for the first time, only it’s not a caress or a stroke, it’s a rude poke that makes Ilya’s cock jerk in the air, “cock, however they want to? Is that it? Just a thick, fat cock for people to ride when you get too fucking stupid to do anything else?”

    Summary

    In the frozen chess battleground of 1979, Soviet grandmaster Ilya Rozanov and Canadian prodigy Shane Hollander are more than opponents—they're two men trapped by systems that demand absolute loyalty. When the Bangkok Invitational becomes their collision point, a dangerous passion ignites between them. With the KGB watching and national pride at stake, their connection could destroy everything they've worked for.

    One match. Two hearts. Impossible choices. Some sacrifices are more profound than victory, and some loves are worth losing everything.
