Summary
Shane Hollander’s life changes the night a debt comes due.
Freshly drafted and on the edge of everything he’s ever worked for, Shane learns his parents owe more money than they could ever repay, and that the man collecting isn’t interested in cash. Ilya Rozanov takes Shane instead.
As payment.
Now Shane lives under Ilya’s roof, bound by rules he never agreed to, marked by jewelry he can’t remove, and watched with an intensity that blurs the line between protection and possession. He’s still allowed to play hockey, but off the ice, his world shrinks to one man’s control. The more Shane succeeds, the tighter Ilya’s grip becomes. Because this was never about settling a debt, it was about keeping what’s his.
And the most dangerous part?
Shane is starting to feel safest right where he’s trapped.

Summary
The air up here was disrespectful.
That was the first thing Kip Grady noticed when he stepped out of his dad’s beat-up Honda Civic. The air in Brooklyn had texture. It had weight. It smelled like hot asphalt, exhaust fumes, and the specific, comforting garbage funk of a Tuesday afternoon. You knew where you stood with Brooklyn air.
The air here—four hours north, deep in the "Upstate" wilderness of the university—was suspicious. It was too thin. It smelled like pine needles and aggression. It smelled like people who hiked for fun.
Or:
Eighteen-year-old Kip is figuring out student life and developing a massive crush on his History professor, Scott Hunter - whose books may or may not have inspired Kip to major in History.- Language:

Summary
“You have no idea who your parents really are, do you?” the Russian asked seriously after a few minutes passed of them staring at one another, though it was really more Shane glaring and heaving while Ilya calmly observed him with an unsure glint in his eye.
“I have no idea what I’m doing here and what you want with them. If this is some kind of stupid business dispute, I have bad news for you, asshole. I don't know about their business, I don’t even know what their business is, and I’ve never been involved in their business,” Shane seethed as slowly as he possibly could so Ilya could understand that he genuinely had no idea of what was going on. “Now will you please untie me and take me home? I don’t even care if you knock me out again, just fucking let me go!”
Ilya set the glass down to the side of him on the black leather cushion and rose from his seat, unfolding gracefully until he was towering over Shane with cool indifference. He bent slightly, leaned in close enough to Shane’s face that he could smell the vodka the Russian man had been drinking, then said easily, “I think I will keep you, actually.”

Do I need to say more ?Context : Austin is an Omega who pretends to be an Beta for his job because Omegas, just like women, are not very welcome in high levels of esport competition. Why ? Because people are sexist that's all.
After successfully hiding his second gender for years he joined fnatic as an export player and everything went smoothly in Berlin till it didn't.
