    Summary

    Shane Hollander had almost made it to morning skate on time.

    Then something ran out in front of his car.

    Summary

    Heat spread across Ilya's face. His mouth fell open slightly. He let out a short, stuttered laugh of disbelief. This couldn't- he was straight, he wasn't-

    “Finally got you at your own game.” Shane's smirk widened to a smile, his hand clapping down on Ilya's shoulder to squeeze it slightly. For once in his life, Ilya was unable to find his voice.

    “Damn.” Shane laughed, jostling him a bit. “If I had known this was all it took to get you to shut the fuck up, I would have started flirting back years ago.”

    ----

    When old college friends Ilya and Shane show up to their mutual best friend's wedding, they are ready to fulfill their duties as bridesmen. Even after years of not seeing each other, they fall right back into their usual banter.

    Ilya loves to flirt with Shane. Shane loves to tell him to fuck off. It's a running a bit. Nothing more than a joke between two friends; because Shane is gay and Ilya is straight and it doesn't actually mean anything…until Shane finally decides to flirt back, and Ilya's world suddenly tilts on its axis.

    Summary

    Ilya kisses Shane’s throat and hears his shaky exhale, shifting closer as Shane’s hands find Ilya’s back and knead into him. They move to his shoulders, caressing the muscles, then land on his narrow, firm waist with a squeeze.
    Shane says, “God, your body is insane.”
    Ilya laughs into the hinge of Shane’s jaw, biting him gently. “You have not even seen it.”
    Shane swallows; Ilya feels it against his lips. And Shane murmurs, “Am I going to?”
    “Mm. Open this door. Now.”
    ***
    Shane Hollander is a former professional cyclist who now owns a bike shop in Colorado. Ilya Rozanov, the tattoo artist who owns the shop next door, thinks boy scout Shane Hollander should take a ride on his motorcycle instead. But what starts out as a casual fling can't stay that way for long--not once Shane and Ilya discover the depths of their chemistry (and Ilya the many benefits of little spandex shorts). Both of them have been hurt before, and the only way to move forward is to get over their pasts. It's a hill climb in both directions, but if Shane Hollander can do anything, it's push himself to endure the burn when he knows the ride home will be that much more satisfying.

    Summary

    With the first overall selection of the 2010 NHL draft, the New York Admirals are proud to select Shane Hollander.
     

    “Ah, New York! New York is nice, yes?”

    “Uh, yeah, I guess. I haven’t really spent much time there. Yet, I guess.”

    “I am also moving to New York.”

    ----

    On the night of the NHL draft, Shane Hollander goes to the gym. Ilya Rozanov may not be a hockey player, but somehow he is there, in Shane’s orbit, in New York, under his skin.

    Or, how more proximity can turn a fuck buddy into a best friend, but falling in love is always hard.
