    Summary

    In part one of this series, Language Barrier, Shane and Ilya met in Russia the summer before their rookie year, when Shane was tutoring English at a summer hockey camp. They fell hard and came into the draft with full intentions of continuing to hook up at every opportunity.

    This story picks up where Language Barrier left off. Ilya's in America now, and the hockey world knows they're friends, not rivals. But there's still a gaping chasm between what they want, and what they're allowed. They're in their rookie years and trying to juggle this secret desperate lust of theirs while doing this incredibly difficult thing, miles apart, and Ilya is no longer in his familiar milieu, and that shit is HARD, y'all.

    Luckily for the boys, the author is very much on their side.

    Summary

    “This hot tub has not been well maintained,” Rozanov complained as they stood on the deck, staring at the built-in hot tub, big enough to fit 8 people. 

    “So, you can replace it,” Shane replied patiently.

    “I will be too busy to replace the hot tub. Then I will have a long day, and I will decide to have a soak in my rancid hot tub, and then I will catch diphtheria and die.” Rozanov looked at Shane, accusatory. “You want me to die?”

    Shane looked down. The hot tub looked no more or less rancid than any other hot tub. “I don’t think you can get diphtheria from a dirty hot tub.”

    “You are doctor now?” Rozanov asked, and Shane stayed silent. 

    Shane Hollander is a realtor who works with the Ottawa Centaurs to find properties for new players.

    Ilya Rozanov needs a home.

    "Shane’s phone rang. He considered ignoring it - he was in a fucking sex swing - but he was fully dressed, and it wasn't a video call, so reluctantly, he swiped to answer.

    "Hello Shane."

    "Bella," Shane greeted. Bella didn’t respond immediately – strange – and so Shane prompted further. "How are you? How’s Bethy?"

    "Bethy has seven different mood swings before breakfast. She’s probably fine right now, but I can’t promise she will be in 20 minutes," Bella responded. She fell silent again, and then asked, "How are you?"

    "I’m doing well thank you. How nice of you to ask," Shane replied, polite. "Were you phoning for something in particular, or just for a chat?"

    Bella cleared her throat. "Rozanov just called to inform me that he no longer requires his hotel room. But he has not bought a place, and is not looking for a place to rent."

    "That’s correct."

    "And the new address he gave me is in Thurso. Don’t you live in Thurso?"

    "What a coincidence."

    Bella went silent for so long that Shane checked to see if she was still on the line. Eventually, she spoke. "Have we been paying for you to go on dates with Ilya Rozanov?"

    "I take my job very seriously, and can assure you, I was working my hardest to find the right property for Ilya," he replied primly.

    "Ilya," Bella repeated. She sounded incredulous. "When I said the red-carpet treatment, this is not exactly what I had in mind."

    "I can reimburse my fee, if this is a problem," Shane replied. He pet at Wayne gently, his fingers disappearing into her thick fur. It wouldn't be ideal to repay the Cens, but he could make it work. After all, he had a lodger now.

    "You’re the bane of my existence, Shane, but fuck it. Rozanov’s happy, so I’m happy," Bella replied, and Shane smiled to himself. "Keep it to yourself for now, but we’re expecting to get Marleau from Boston before tomorrow’s trade deadline. Can you make time to help him house hunt? Please don’t romance this one, for god’s sake. The last thing I need is a love triangle between two of my players and the realtor."

    "I’ll dial down the charm this time," Shane promised. "Speak soon, Bella."

    "You're a menace, Shane Hollander. I'll be in touch." The phone beeped as Bella hung up."

    Summary

    "He saw the corners of Ilya's lips curve up ever so slightly in that infuriating, tiny hint of a smile. “Goodbye, Shane Hollander.”

    Shane could only ogle as Ilya walked away. Fuck. His ass was fat. This was so bad.

    Shane Hollander, star athlete, D1 hockey team captain, campus heartthrob, was being completely undone by a brooding Slavic art major that he would probably crawl on his fucking knees and bark for."

    --

    Shane is ready for another boring semester where he has to pretend like he cares about anything other than hockey. Until he sits down next to a mysterious Russian art student who also happens to be the hottest guy Shane has ever seen.

    Summary

    After SunShane SPF50 leaves him with the worst breakout, Ilya does what any reasonable person would do: he leaves a one-star Amazon review and a complaint on Reddit demanding a refund. However, instead of a refund, he gets a reply back from the company's polite and handsome CEO Shane.

    Or: One angry Reddit post leads to Instagram stalking, horny DMs, getting stuck in a one-bed hotel room, and an Italian wedding.

    Summary

    God only knows why he thinks it's appropriate to send what can only be considered borderline nudes to Shane, who is straight and in a committed relationship. Shane, again, tries to talk to Jessica about it, but she assures him that it's no big deal, plus, since they're gonna fuck this week, Shane might as well get comfortable looking at him.

    A small part of him takes it as permission. A larger part takes offense. Because why do Ilya's pictures, literally any of them, incite more reaction in Shane's body than any nudes he's gotten from a girl?

    Or: Shane's girlfriend wants to watch him get fucked by a man to spice up their relationship. Enter Ilya Rozanov.
