Kindle Notes & Highlights
So, yeah, he’d been hooking up with girls. Plenty of girls. Like, at least two girls.
Fuck. This was really gay.
Ilya had a man pinned under the weight of his body. The man was big, almost as tall as Ilya, and pressing back against him aggressively. Ilya wedged a knee between the man’s thighs, holding him firmly in place. “Fuck off, asshole,” the man growled. Ilya leaned on him harder. “All right, let him go, Rozanov,” the referee said. “I’ll call holding if you don’t back off right now.”
“Those assholes,” Hayden grumbled. “They’re fans, Hayden.” “They didn’t even recognize me!”
“The last time my dick was in your mouth, I thought you might be a little gay,”
That admission would have been embarrassing enough, but Ilya had also slipped in an “and on top of everything, I’m pretty sure I’m in love with you and I don’t know what to do about it.”
“We should get married,” Ilya said. “What?”
“Why don’t you get on the bed?” he suggested. “So much for small talk, I guess.” “And take your shirt off.” “Bossy.”
“Haven’t you ever wanted more time?”
Fucking your biggest rival over the course of your entire NHL career was something that no one would understand.
They would find out that their son was gay and their son was being gay with Ilya Rozanov.
They both heard a noise. They both whipped their heads around. They both saw Shane’s dad standing inside the house, staring, frozen, at where they were wrapped up in each other on the deck. For a moment, no one moved. No one made a sound. Everyone. Just. Stared.
He stood there for a few minutes, wearing nothing but the wet shorts that he had very recently ejaculated into and a look of pure panic.
“You didn’t ever...” His mom sounded suddenly horrified. “You didn’t ever let him win, did you, Shane?”
“Yes. Of course. And I will get on one knee—” “Ilya—” “And I will say, ‘Shane Hollander, will you please marry me so I can become Canadian citizen faster?’”
“He tripped me! Hey, what the fuck, ref! That was tripping!” Shane glared up at the ref, and then at Ilya, who was looming over him in his Ottawa jersey. “You fell,” Ilya said. “I didn’t fall. It was tripping.” “Yes. Was you tripping over your own skates.” “Get fucked, Rozanov.” Ilya’s lips quirked up. “Was planning on it.”
Someone grabbed Shane’s arm and pulled him away. “All right, keep it in your pants, you two. Jesus.” “Hi, Hayden,” Ilya said, grinning. “I still don’t like you, Rozanov,” Hayden said. “Oh no!” Ilya mocked him. “How can I impress Montreal’s fifteenth best player?” “Shane, I’m gonna punch him.” “Don’t.” “I’m gonna punch him.”
“Jesus.” Ilya turned his head to see Hayden standing just inside the door with his hand over his eyes. “I’m still not used to that. You guys know this is, like, a public bathroom, right?”
“Who do you think you are kidding here? You obviously aren’t, y’know, gay.” “You have not heard of bisexuals?”
