Heated Rivalry (Game Changers, #2)

by Rachel Reid

“Ilya. God, Ilya. So good. Don’t stop. I love you.” In response, Ilya reached for his hand and tangled their fingers together. I love you so much. Don’t leave me. “Oh. Yes. Fuck, yes. I’m gonna—oh, holy shit, Ilya. Fuck, fuck...”

“I will say yes because I will still be madly in love with you. And I’ll want to spend the rest of my life with you.” And, oh god, Ilya didn’t deserve him, but he didn’t care. He was selfish like that.

Shane sighed. “I have terrible taste in men. For friends and boyfriends.”

Ilya shot him a curious look. “We were nineteen the first time we—” “Oh,” Shane said. “I thought the question was the first time we felt, um, sparks.” His ears were bright red and Ilya wanted to bite them. “Yes,” Ilya said. His voice had gone soft, but he didn’t care. “Eighteen, then. That’s right.”

“I feel lucky. This is more than I have ever had.” Shane’s face scrunched up in confusion. Definitely one of Ilya’s top three Shane Hollander expressions. “More what?” Ilya shrugged. “Love. Family. All that stuff.”

“I can fuck you right here, moy vozlyublenniy.” “No. Fuck, maybe,” Shane panted. “What does that one mean?” “My horny animal,” Ilya lied. “Eat shit.” Shane unwrapped his legs and lowered himself to the floor. “Bedroom. Come on.”

Ilya sighed. “I mean... I am yours, yes? To protect that, I will do anything.” Shane’s eyes went gooey. “You’re mine. Yes.” “Then...” Ilya brushed Shane’s bangs aside. “Let me show you.”

if the world could see them right now, they’d have to get it, right? They’d have to see that what he and Shane had together was real and good and unstoppable.

“I love this, Shane. I love you so much. You are beautiful. Perfect.” He turned his head and kissed Shane’s ankle. “Perfect,” he repeated. “I love you. Love you inside me. Fuck, it’s so good. Always so good, Ilya. Want you to come in me.”
