    Summary

    When Grammy needs an upgrade in care, Mike knows that the usual one-off gig as a paid submissive won't be enough. He takes a job he's been refusing for a while - a long-term, full-time contract.

    He expects his client to be a sadistic asshole. He expects not to like it. He's wrong on both counts.

    Summary

    They’ve hooked up like this about half a dozen times by now, maybe more; often enough, apparently, for it to become something Shane eagerly looks forward to. Beat Boston, then get railed by Rozanov. Preferably on all fours.

    He isn’t going to let a tweaked knee get in the way of that, goddammit.

    (In which Shane and Ilya have to be careful with each other during sex for the first time.)
     



    Shane tears his eyes away before Rozanov can say something obnoxious like “Like what you see?” or “Is rude to stare,” but Rozanov is towering over him now, and when Shane drags his gaze up, his entire field of vision is filled with rippling muscles.

    “Jesus Christ,” he mutters.

    “Like what you see?” Rozanov asks, looking down at himself.

    “Yeah,” Shane says, resigned. No point in denying it.

    Warm hands cup his face, tip his head back. “Is rude to stare, you know.”

    Shane allows himself to melt into the touch. “I know.”

    He feels the tension drain from his shoulders the moment their mouths meet.

    Summary

    Ilya can’t be realizing, at nearly thirty-five years old, that he isn’t as happy with who he is as he thought he was.

    Because then, what? What is he supposed to do with that realization, except grieve? Should he mourn a life he might have had if his childhood hadn't been the way it was?

    He has Shane now, and Shane loves him just the way he is, just as he's always known Ilya. This life led him to Shane, and being able to build something with him is the best thing that's ever happened to Ilya. He can’t, ever, fuck this up. He will always try fold himself into smaller pieces to preserve this.

    But I don’t want to have to do that, his heart shouts at him. I don't know if I can do that anymore.

    Or: Ilya Rozanov fights against and then accepts the fact that there's no such thing as being too late to learn more about yourself, and still be loved.

    Summary

    “How can Montreal be snowed in?” Ilya asks. “They are not ready for winter?”

    “It’s Montreal, man,” Marleau snickers, like that's an explanation.

    Jane- 9:44 a.m.- Look on the bright side. If you’re stuck another day, you can come back here.

    ________

    After Ilya leaves Shane’s apartment for the first time, he knows he’s on thin ice and at risk of falling into more serious feelings. He’s ready to put distance back between them.

    A Montreal blizzard has other ideas.
