    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’s MLH career ends before it begins. In its place, he finds another way to hockey, to himself, and to Ilya.

    Summary

    The first thing Ilya Rozanov felt was a headache the size of Massachusetts.

    Seriously, his head was pounding so badly behind his eyes that the moment he tried to sit up in bed, a violent wave of nausea nearly made him throw up. He immediately dropped his head into his hands, elbows braced against his knees while he forced himself to breathe slowly through it.

    Jesus Christ.

    What the hell did he drink last night?

    Summary

    Shane leaves that Vegas penthouse suite feeling wretched, and like an idiot, and like he never wants to see Ilya Rozanov again.

    Except, well. Then there are zombies.

    Summary

    If standing out in the street screaming that he loves Shane Hollander is wrong, Ilya has no desire to be right.

    Shane would prefer he didn’t though, so he can keep quiet. For now.
