<v Speaker 1>Okay, we've explained it before, but I'll say it again.

<v Speaker 1>We read and did an entire episode on death by

<v Speaker 1>Laura Thalassa, but somebody's microphone wasn't.

<v Speaker 4>On everyone booh, shall be I'm kidding. I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

<v Speaker 1>It happens, but go read the book. But yeah, we

<v Speaker 1>didn't release that episode, but we did read it and

<v Speaker 1>record it and it was good.

<v Speaker 4>But you'll never hear it ever.

<v Speaker 1>And this week we are telling Riley all about Heated

<v Speaker 1>Rivalry by Rachel Reid. Yeah, let us know if you're

<v Speaker 1>watching the show. Yeah, No, the show's over by the

<v Speaker 1>time this comes out, So let us know if you

<v Speaker 1>watched the show, Yeah, and did you love it. It's

<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen and Shane Hollander is playing a hockey game

<v Speaker 1>for the Montreal Voyagers against their ultimate rivals, the Boston Bears.

<v Speaker 1>He and his counterpart on the opposing team, Ilya Rosenoff,

<v Speaker 1>are facing off and the crowd is going wild. Because

<v Speaker 1>these two men are notorious for going after each other

<v Speaker 1>on the ice. Like when these teams play each other,

<v Speaker 1>it's like the entire crowd was like.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, fucking fight.

<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah.

<v Speaker 1>But the Voyagers lost, even though Shane had multiple shots

<v Speaker 1>he should have made and yet he didn't.

<v Speaker 5>Loser, loser, boo boo.

<v Speaker 1>After the game, he's accosted by the press, who loves

<v Speaker 1>when the two men face off against each other, and

<v Speaker 1>one of them tell Shane that they overheard Ilia saying

<v Speaker 1>that he wished Shane had been playing tonight, and like

<v Speaker 1>that's a burne because like he was on the ice.

<v Speaker 1>But he's like, man, I wish Ilia was actually playing

<v Speaker 1>on the ice tonight. Oh burn He tells the reporter

<v Speaker 1>they'll be in Boston in three weeks and he'll definitely

<v Speaker 1>be there. Then he goes home to shower and wash

<v Speaker 1>off his shame. Then he drinks some beers on the

<v Speaker 1>couch and is stewing over his shitty night when there's

<v Speaker 1>a knock on the door. He opens the door, asking

<v Speaker 1>the visitor what the fuck took him so long, and

<v Speaker 1>a thick Russian accent says, we were out celebrating.

<v Speaker 5>We had a big win.

<v Speaker 4>Tonight, you know.

<v Speaker 1>Then he tells Shane that he got away as soon

<v Speaker 1>as he could without drawing attention.

<v Speaker 3>And that was the last word Shane got out before

<v Speaker 3>Rosanov's mouth crashed into his ah, and they were.

<v Speaker 1>Boy yeah, and their rivals woes crazy. Ilia tells Shane

<v Speaker 1>he only has about two hours, and Shane kisses him

<v Speaker 1>all needy. They make out all the way to Shane's

<v Speaker 1>bedroom and quickly get undressed.

<v Speaker 3>They both took off everything, and Rosanov fell on top

<v Speaker 3>of Shane, kissing him and moving a hand down to

<v Speaker 3>grasp his already and barre cursingly rigid cock. Shane arched

<v Speaker 3>up into his touch, making stupid desperate noises. Don't worry, Hollander,

<v Speaker 3>Rosanov said, his lips brushing Shane's ear. I'm gonna fuck

<v Speaker 3>you like you want?

<v Speaker 5>Yes, Yes, what the fuck you like you want?

<v Speaker 4>Yes?

<v Speaker 1>Shane ultimately does hate Ilia, but goddamn it, he sucks

<v Speaker 1>a mean dick and they've been sneaking around like this

<v Speaker 1>for seven years.

<v Speaker 4>Holy shit. Uh huh.

<v Speaker 1>Shane grabs his bottle of lube and tosses it to Ilia,

<v Speaker 1>who pops off his dick and then starts to loop

<v Speaker 1>up Shane's booty. Then Ilia starts to slide into him

<v Speaker 1>slowly as Shane moans. Ilia reaches around and gives Shane

<v Speaker 1>a hand job as he fucks him, and Shane feels

<v Speaker 1>his release coming on quick. Ilia asks if he's ready

<v Speaker 1>to come, and Shane punches the mattress as he sprays

<v Speaker 1>Ilia's fist with cum ah last ray, and Ilia follows

<v Speaker 1>close behind, coming inside of Shane. They collapse onto the

<v Speaker 1>bed and Ilia starts making fun of Shane for losing

<v Speaker 1>so badly tonight. So Shane makes fun of Ilia's stupid

<v Speaker 1>bear tattoo on his chest because he just has a

<v Speaker 1>tattoo of a bear on his chest, and Shane thinks

<v Speaker 1>that's slame.

<v Speaker 2>He's Russian.

<v Speaker 1>Ilia's like, you love this tattoo, why don't you come

<v Speaker 1>give it a kiss. Shane does, and then takes Ilia's

<v Speaker 1>nipples into his mouth and lightly tugs at them, and

<v Speaker 1>then they start smooching again. Ilia looks down at Shane

<v Speaker 1>and tells him he's very beautiful, and Shane is like, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>hottest man in the NHL according to Cosmo, and Ilia's like,

<v Speaker 1>they only gave me five, but Shane tells him that

<v Speaker 1>seems generous, so they have a very back and forth

<v Speaker 1>frenemi's relationship.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but they'd be fucking zoom.

<v Speaker 1>They shower together and Shane gives Ilia some head and

<v Speaker 1>even lets him give Shane a little facial which he's

<v Speaker 1>in the shower, so fine.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>Ilia tells Shane he needs to get going and asks

<v Speaker 1>if he'll see him again in three weeks, and Shane

<v Speaker 1>says yes. He then asks Shane if he was what

<v Speaker 1>was distracting him on the ice tonight, but Shane's just

<v Speaker 1>says fuck you, good night.

<v Speaker 4>Rosanov.

<v Speaker 1>Now we're back in two thousand and eight and Ilia

<v Speaker 1>has just come to North America for the first time,

<v Speaker 1>and he's itching to see what the big deal is

<v Speaker 1>with the prestigious Shane Hollander. He's Ilia's main competition and

<v Speaker 1>he wants to see what the big deal is with

<v Speaker 1>this guy, and ultimately he's determined to destroy him. So

<v Speaker 1>this is like their rookie season.

<v Speaker 3>Oh and like in the show does it go back

<v Speaker 3>and forth like that?

<v Speaker 1>So the show starts the opening scene is right now

<v Speaker 1>like this two thousand and eight part.

<v Speaker 2>Okay, it goes like chronologically, is there.

<v Speaker 4>This much smut in the show.

<v Speaker 1>There's quite a lot for a TV show. I think

<v Speaker 1>they definitely put more in the book because they can. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>they put like pretty much the maximum you could put

<v Speaker 1>in a show on the show.

<v Speaker 2>That's why Amazing HBO picked it up.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, HBO said, we love to show naked people.

<v Speaker 1>Ilia gets to the rink to practice with all the

<v Speaker 1>rest of the players that are in the running for

<v Speaker 1>the World Junior Hockey Championships. He analyzes all the players

<v Speaker 1>and then excuses himself for a cigarette, but he runs

<v Speaker 1>smack dab into Hollander, who knows exactly who Ilia is

<v Speaker 1>and shakes his hand, saying he's heard what a good

<v Speaker 1>player Ilia is. They make small talk for a while

<v Speaker 1>until Shane says he'd better get going and wishes him

<v Speaker 1>good luck. And Shane is very much like the all

<v Speaker 1>America well he's not even Americans, so the all Canadian

<v Speaker 1>good boy.

<v Speaker 2>He's like a PR's wet dream. He does everything perfect,

<v Speaker 2>he takes all the deals.

<v Speaker 3>He's nice, right, just like a good person.

<v Speaker 4>Uh huh.

<v Speaker 1>And Ilia is kind of the misunderstood bad boy of hockey.

<v Speaker 3>Ooh.

<v Speaker 1>Ilia doesn't reciprocate and tells himself that he will be

<v Speaker 1>the number one draft pick this season, he will beat Shane.

<v Speaker 1>The game is played and the Russian team was victorious,

<v Speaker 1>and the silver medal around Shane's neck might as well

<v Speaker 1>be a dead rat. He hated playing against them, and

<v Speaker 1>they played dirty.

<v Speaker 4>Ooh like high sticks.

<v Speaker 1>Probably they don't go into any detail about the actual

<v Speaker 1>game of hockey, which I.

<v Speaker 4>Like, yeah, you're like, please don't.

<v Speaker 1>I don't give a fuck about what happened during the game,

<v Speaker 1>so they'll just be like they won, they lost, and

<v Speaker 1>I love that Shane had had to face off against

<v Speaker 1>Ilia multiple times on the ice and came up just

<v Speaker 1>short and the press ate it up. That was the

<v Speaker 1>beginning of the rivalry. They're eventually drafted to their respective

<v Speaker 1>teams a year later, and Shane is consistently coming in

<v Speaker 1>second to Ilia. He's at his hotel after a game

<v Speaker 1>and he's sulking. He's feeling bothered by something, but he

<v Speaker 1>can't place exactly what, so he goes down to the

<v Speaker 1>gym to work out. Then Ilia comes in and now

<v Speaker 1>they're both on a treadmill, silently competing on who can

<v Speaker 1>run faster, until they're both sprinting and Shane is pissed

<v Speaker 1>when he has to press the emergency stop button and

<v Speaker 1>catch his breath. Ilia shouldn't be able to beat him

<v Speaker 1>at running. He's a smoker, for God's sake. Disgusting, Ilia

<v Speaker 1>steps off his machine and says he's sorry for ruining

<v Speaker 1>Shane's big day, and then takes a big swig from

<v Speaker 1>his water bottle, and Shane can't help but stare at

<v Speaker 1>Ilia's throat bobbing up and down. Ilia offers his water

<v Speaker 1>bottle to Shane, and he's thirsty as heck, so he accepts,

<v Speaker 1>and he swears ilias staring back at him as he

<v Speaker 1>waterfalls the water into his mouth. He hands the water

<v Speaker 1>bottle back and he even swears that Illah brushed his

<v Speaker 1>wrist intentionally, and now he's thinking about kissing this man.

<v Speaker 1>Ilia leaves, and now Shane is sitting on the gym

<v Speaker 1>floor with a boner thinking about his rival.

<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, wait, do we know he's gay yet?

<v Speaker 1>So Ilia has messed around with both genders, and Shane

<v Speaker 1>is like, I'm.

<v Speaker 5>Super straight, Oh, but this man's hot.

<v Speaker 4>What does that mean?

<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

<v Speaker 4>I was gonna say conflicting.

<v Speaker 3>Mm hmmm, you're half hard right now from sitting on

<v Speaker 3>the gym floor with another man Okay, that one he

<v Speaker 3>couldn't explain, but he could get in the shower and

<v Speaker 3>jerk off and try, like Kell to think about his

<v Speaker 3>girlfriend or any girl, anything other than those red, wet

<v Speaker 3>lips and that dark stubble and those hazel eyes. For

<v Speaker 3>the rest of his life, Shane Hollander would have to

<v Speaker 3>live with the fact that he had ended his NHL

<v Speaker 3>draft day by getting himself off to the thought of

<v Speaker 3>Ilia rosen Off.

<v Speaker 4>Well, he had to go jerk it out. Guess what, boy,

<v Speaker 4>You're gonna fuck him?

<v Speaker 5>Oh?

<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>A few months pass and it's New Year's Eve and

<v Speaker 1>Ilia is alone. He can't stop thinking about Shane and

<v Speaker 1>that night at the gym. He wonders if the sexual

<v Speaker 1>tension was all in his head, but he's pretty sure

<v Speaker 1>it wasn't. Both of their teams are undefeated so far,

<v Speaker 1>but only one of them can win in the final tournament.

<v Speaker 1>It's the night before the gold medal game and they're

<v Speaker 1>going to face off for the final win. Meanwhile, Shane

<v Speaker 1>is also thinking about Ilia since that night. He'd even

<v Speaker 1>broken up with his girlfriend immediately after, and now he's

<v Speaker 1>noticing men, but he still fucks around with women. They

<v Speaker 1>throw themselves at him, So why not because he's a

<v Speaker 1>very successful hockey star, and so he's like, Eh, might

<v Speaker 1>as well they want to fuck me, Yeah, and.

<v Speaker 4>It's got to keep up his image. Mm hmmm.

<v Speaker 1>And he definitely wasn't thinking about Ilia and his soft

<v Speaker 1>wet lips during his sex acts.

<v Speaker 4>Definitely not.

<v Speaker 1>The game happens and Shane wins for his team and

<v Speaker 1>Ilia is slinking back to Russia with a silver medal.

<v Speaker 1>They did their little handshake at the lineup at the

<v Speaker 1>end of the game, and he swears Shane held onto

<v Speaker 1>Ilia's hand a little longer than he needed to. Another

<v Speaker 1>few months pass and both men are prestigious in the

<v Speaker 1>hockey world. Shane just found out he got a brand

<v Speaker 1>deal with a hockey equipment company. But then he finds

<v Speaker 1>out that Ilia has also been signed to the same

<v Speaker 1>campaign and they're doing a commercial together.

<v Speaker 5>Oh.

<v Speaker 1>They film their footage on the ice and then the

<v Speaker 1>director tells them they can go shower off in the

<v Speaker 1>locker rooms. Now they're both nude in the shower, it's

<v Speaker 1>just the two of them. Shane is confused because he

<v Speaker 1>showered with hundreds of other men, but this feels different.

<v Speaker 1>He can't help but check out Ilia's toned ass. He

<v Speaker 1>gets a boner, and then Ilia turns around, raising an

<v Speaker 1>eyebrow at him and then grins. Then his smile drops

<v Speaker 1>and Shane looks down to see that Ilia is also

<v Speaker 1>getting hard. He gasps as Ilia reaches down and starts

<v Speaker 1>stroking his own dick, asking what he was thinking about

<v Speaker 1>to get a boner like that, and Shane says, you,

<v Speaker 1>oh my god, is.

<v Speaker 4>It like that in the show. Sorry, I'm gonna keep asking.

<v Speaker 4>It's so good.

<v Speaker 5>It's so good.

<v Speaker 1>They did really good following the books in the show.

<v Speaker 5>The first time that I.

<v Speaker 6>Watched the show, I didn't read the book, so I

<v Speaker 6>was just like, what the fuck is happenings like glued

<v Speaker 6>to my CV, I was like.

<v Speaker 1>Ilia asks if Shane wants to touch him, and Shane

<v Speaker 1>says not here someone could see. Ilia turns off the

<v Speaker 1>shower and walks out and Shane follows. Ilia asks what

<v Speaker 1>room he's in tonight, and Shane tells him, wondering what

<v Speaker 1>the fuck is about to happen. Sure enough, around nine

<v Speaker 1>o'clock there's a knock at the door. Shane is panicking

<v Speaker 1>but lets Ilia in. They sit down together and Shane

<v Speaker 1>tells him he doesn't know if this is such a

<v Speaker 1>good idea, but Ilia says, what this and then he

<v Speaker 1>sinks a kiss down on him. It's Shane's first kiss

<v Speaker 1>with a man, but he can tell Ilia knows what

<v Speaker 1>he's doing, and he wonders if this is his first

<v Speaker 1>time with a man too. It starts to turn into

<v Speaker 1>some heavy petting, and now Shane realizes his hand is

<v Speaker 1>now on Ilia's dick.

<v Speaker 4>He shouldn't want this, but he does.

<v Speaker 3>An awakening both men look down to watch Shane's hand

<v Speaker 3>move under the cotton of Rosanov's briefs. Shane could see

<v Speaker 3>the tip of Rosanov's cock poking out of the waistband,

<v Speaker 3>and he had the sudden wild urge to kiss it,

<v Speaker 3>to press his tongue to the slit and taste him. Fuck,

<v Speaker 3>this was really gay? Yeah, yeah, this is gay as hell.

<v Speaker 1>Ilia presses his thumb into Shane's mouth and Shane sucks

<v Speaker 1>on it. Then he slowly sinks to his knees, pulls

<v Speaker 1>Ilia's pants down, and takes his dick into his mouth.

<v Speaker 1>It's weird and he doesn't know what he's supposed to

<v Speaker 1>be doing. He's trying to emulate what girls have done

<v Speaker 1>to him, but he feels like he looks ridiculous. Ilia

<v Speaker 1>hisses a fuck and then Shane gets the confidence to

<v Speaker 1>really get into it. Then Ilia is like, oh my god,

<v Speaker 1>stop stop stop. Shane is humiliated, but Ilia's like, no,

<v Speaker 1>it was just really intense.

<v Speaker 4>It was too much.

<v Speaker 1>Shane asks Ilia if this is his first time with

<v Speaker 1>the man, because it is his and Ilia tells him

<v Speaker 1>there was a little bit of funny business with his

<v Speaker 1>coach's son back in Russia. Then he asks Shane if

<v Speaker 1>he likes sucking his dick, and Shane shyly says yes.

<v Speaker 3>Do you think that like when men suck a dick

<v Speaker 3>for the first time, like say, later on in their

<v Speaker 3>life they come to the fact that they're gay later

<v Speaker 3>on in life, Okay, do you think that when they

<v Speaker 3>suck a dick for the first time, they like kind

<v Speaker 3>of know what to do because they're like, well, I

<v Speaker 3>know how a girl sucks my dicky.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I would feel like do you think they would know?

<v Speaker 4>Just yeah? I feel like sucking a dick is easy.

<v Speaker 1>Because I've never personally eaten a vagina. But if I

<v Speaker 1>was put in a competition against a man who'd never

<v Speaker 1>eaten a vagina, I feel like I could win. Oh yeah,

<v Speaker 1>don't know if i'd be any good at it, but

<v Speaker 1>I would be better than the man.

<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I could find a clip with my eyes closed,

<v Speaker 6>blindfolded backwards onun seven times.

<v Speaker 3>I feel like, literally, wow, you know what. I don't

<v Speaker 3>understand the whole clit debay. I don't understand how men

<v Speaker 3>have a hard time.

<v Speaker 1>It's right there. I don't understand that it pisses me off.

<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing, though, men are stupid, because.

<v Speaker 4>Are fucking stupid, dumb as.

<v Speaker 1>Fuck, except for these two men. These men are wonderful.

<v Speaker 6>Yeah, we love you.

<v Speaker 1>Then Ili is like, what if I lay on the

<v Speaker 1>bed and you can do it some more? Shane agrees,

<v Speaker 1>but Ilia tells him to get naked too, so it's fair.

<v Speaker 1>He tells Shane to relax and strokes Shane's dick. Shane

<v Speaker 1>slides down Ilia's body again and gives him a sloppy blowjob,

<v Speaker 1>hoping he's doing all right, But then he supposes he

<v Speaker 1>is when Ilia pulls out and comes all over his

<v Speaker 1>own stomach. Now, Shane is wondering where he's going to come.

<v Speaker 1>Ilia tells him to lay down now and he'll show

<v Speaker 1>him how it's done. Then he sucks the absolute soul

<v Speaker 1>out of Shane's dick.

<v Speaker 3>Nice, ah, God, rosan Off, I'm gonna He expected Rosanov

<v Speaker 3>to get the hell out of the way, but instead

<v Speaker 3>he sucked him harder, and Shane emptied himself into his mouth.

<v Speaker 3>A stream of nonsense fell out of Shane's mouth. Holy shit,

<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, Oh my god, I'm so sorry.

<v Speaker 4>Fuck wow God.

<v Speaker 3>Rosanoff pulled off, not at all hurried, and wiped his

<v Speaker 3>mouth with the back of his hand. He laughed at

<v Speaker 3>Shane's babbling. Sorry, why sorry? Shane choked out a hysterical laugh.

<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

<v Speaker 3>I just I wasn't expecting you too. Rosanoff shrugged, as

<v Speaker 3>if Shane was thanking him for bringing in the mail.

<v Speaker 3>I don't mind it, Nice.

<v Speaker 1>Said, no, biggie, I'll swallow. What's a little coum between friends?

<v Speaker 1>After the comdown, his first thought is, Wow, this guy

<v Speaker 1>really wants to one up me in everything, so he's like, wow,

<v Speaker 1>even sucks dick better than I do.

<v Speaker 4>Typical man.

<v Speaker 1>Shane asks Ilia if he's gonna tell anyone what happened,

<v Speaker 1>and Ilia says no way. He tells Shane that he

<v Speaker 1>has an early flight in the morning and then he leaves.

<v Speaker 1>A few months pass again and Shane is watching an

<v Speaker 1>interview with Ilia on TV where he announces he'll be

<v Speaker 1>scoring fifty goals this season. The audacity of this man,

<v Speaker 1>because I guess like nobody's ever done that.

<v Speaker 5>Okay.

<v Speaker 1>Then ilias asked about Shane and he looks right at

<v Speaker 1>the camera and just says who and then he winks, stinker,

<v Speaker 1>What a stink. Another month passes and the Bears are

<v Speaker 1>playing against the Voyagers. Shane is shaking in his boots.

<v Speaker 1>His mom sees how nervous he is and is like,

<v Speaker 1>you know what, screw Ilia Rosanov. That should be your

<v Speaker 1>mantra tonight, and Shane is like, yeah, sure, screw him.

<v Speaker 1>The Voyagers win that night, and Ilia's pissed. His brother

<v Speaker 1>calls him as he's raging in his room, asking for money.

<v Speaker 1>He's like, where the fuck is the ten K I

<v Speaker 1>gave you two months ago? And his brother says, what

<v Speaker 1>you have money? I know how much you make, but

<v Speaker 1>he knows if he doesn't send the money, his dad

<v Speaker 1>will call and give him a lecture on the importance

<v Speaker 1>of family. So he's like, fine, but don't ask again.

<v Speaker 1>So his family straight up uses him.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's shitty as fuck.

<v Speaker 1>And Shane's parents are like at every single one of

<v Speaker 1>his games and support his dream, and Ilia's family just

<v Speaker 1>stays in Russia and calls him for money. Sad, he

<v Speaker 1>turns on the TV and sees Shane being interviewed with

<v Speaker 1>his cheeks flushed and his lips dark and wet, and

<v Speaker 1>he tells himself the feeling in the pit of his

<v Speaker 1>stomach is just jealousy. Another few months past and Shane

<v Speaker 1>is buzzed after a party for his All Star game.

<v Speaker 1>He's thinking about Ilia and his mouth, but tells himself

<v Speaker 1>he'll be seeing him tomorrow at the press conference. At

<v Speaker 1>the conference, both men are congratulated on their legendary rookie seasons.

<v Speaker 1>They answer all of their questions, but Shane can't stop

<v Speaker 1>peeping at Ilia in his peripherals. Then they're both asked

<v Speaker 1>if they'd be willing to play on the same team.

<v Speaker 1>Shane says yeah, Ilia is a great player, and Ilia

<v Speaker 1>says yeah, as long as Hollander doesn't mind me being

<v Speaker 1>starting center, and the crowd laughs.

<v Speaker 5>Hockey reference.

<v Speaker 4>I don't know, I know some mocky.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know that the conference keeps on, but under

<v Speaker 1>the table, Shane feels Ilia's foot sweep against his and

<v Speaker 1>his heart starts racing. When it's over, they shake hands

<v Speaker 1>and Ilia looks right into his eyes and says in

<v Speaker 1>a dark, husky voice, see you later, Hollander. Then they're

<v Speaker 1>on the ice doing their All Star skill competition, and

<v Speaker 1>the men are neck and neck, obviously competing against one

<v Speaker 1>another to come out on top. When it's over, Shane

<v Speaker 1>tells himself he can relax tonight until the big game tomorrow,

<v Speaker 1>but Ilia walks up to him and whispers in his

<v Speaker 1>ear twelve twenty one, his room number.

<v Speaker 4>A few hours.

<v Speaker 1>Later, Shane comes a knocking. As soon as Ilia opens

<v Speaker 1>the door. Shane pushes his way in, terrified of being seen,

<v Speaker 1>and once the door's closed, Shane presses into Ilia, kissing

<v Speaker 1>him deeply. He pulls out Ilia's dick and he gets

<v Speaker 1>to suck in. Ilia can that he's enthusiastic but inexperienced

<v Speaker 1>at this, and wonders to himself how far they'll take

<v Speaker 1>this tonight. He pulls Shane up onto his feet, Shane's

<v Speaker 1>strips and they fall onto the bed together. Ilia thinks

<v Speaker 1>to himself how much he hates this perfect little pretty

<v Speaker 1>boy and kisses his dumb, stupid mouth. They fight for

<v Speaker 1>control as they make out, and then Ilia starts to

<v Speaker 1>suck Shane's dick and decides to test the waters by

<v Speaker 1>running a finger over Shane's asshole. He doesn't pull away,

<v Speaker 1>so Ilia asks if he ever plays with his ass,

<v Speaker 1>but Shane is.

<v Speaker 5>Like, whoa, what the fuck?

<v Speaker 4>That's gay?

<v Speaker 1>But Ilia doesn't relent and wants to know, so Shane

<v Speaker 1>caves and is like, Okay, yeah, I have a dildo.

<v Speaker 5>Okay, okay, when did he get it?

<v Speaker 4>I don't know, he just has one.

<v Speaker 3>I just want to know, like his whole background, his

<v Speaker 3>thought process when he came to be you know.

<v Speaker 1>He's like, I'm just a super straight guy who likes

<v Speaker 1>a dildo in my butt and I suck this one

<v Speaker 1>guy's dick. But I'm very straight man.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah right, right right.

<v Speaker 1>He tells Shane he wants to fuck him, but Shane

<v Speaker 1>tells Ilia, not here, not in a hotel filled with

<v Speaker 1>NHL players. He says maybe next time when they play

<v Speaker 1>in Montreal two weeks, Ilia can come to his apartment

<v Speaker 1>and they can fuck. They shower together and Shane slams

<v Speaker 1>Ilia into the wall, kissing him and stroking his dick.

<v Speaker 1>Ilia strokes him back, and they both come. When it's over,

<v Speaker 1>they exchange numbers, but they use secret names, which are

<v Speaker 1>Lily for Ilia and Jane for Shane, so if it

<v Speaker 1>pops up on their phones, it's not suspicious. Shane tells

<v Speaker 1>Ilia good luck tomorrow and sneaks out of the hotel room.

<v Speaker 1>A week passes and Shane has a game against Toronto

<v Speaker 1>and he can't get Ilia out of his head. He

<v Speaker 1>feels like he needs to end things with Ilia and

<v Speaker 1>just stick to fucking women. There hasn't been an openly

<v Speaker 1>gay hockey player in the league, and he's scared that

<v Speaker 1>he'll be ridiculed if their situationship comes to light. A

<v Speaker 1>week passes in Ilia texts asking for Shane's address, but

<v Speaker 1>he's scared to cross that line and asks if they

<v Speaker 1>can meet elsewhere, so he gets a room in the

<v Speaker 1>same hotel as the Boston team and sends Ilia the

<v Speaker 1>room number. I obviously shows up that night and Shane

<v Speaker 1>is shaking in his boots again, but he's trying to

<v Speaker 1>play it cool. Ilia assures him that it's just sex.

<v Speaker 1>They strip, and Ilia is a little more rough than usual,

<v Speaker 1>and Shane assumes it's because Montreal won the game tonight,

<v Speaker 1>but then Ilia assures him for tonight he'll go easy

<v Speaker 1>on Shane. Shane tells him that he ordered lube and

<v Speaker 1>condoms and hands them over. Ilia takes the lube and

<v Speaker 1>rubs some on Shane's dick, then reaches underneath and starts

<v Speaker 1>playing with his asshole as Ilia's fingers start to enter him.

<v Speaker 1>It feels really good, but now Shane is even more nervous.

<v Speaker 1>Ilia can tell and reassures him and sucks Shane's dick

<v Speaker 1>as he slides his finger even further in. When Ilia

<v Speaker 1>raises Shane's prostate, he stutters for him to slow down.

<v Speaker 1>He commands Shane to stroke himself and turn over as

<v Speaker 1>Ilia slides on a condom. As Ilia's dick slides into

<v Speaker 1>Shane's ass, he starts to panic about it getting stuck

<v Speaker 1>and potentially having to call nine one one. Oh my god,

<v Speaker 1>he's an overthinker. He is, I get it, but as

<v Speaker 1>it gets going, it starts to feel really, really nice.

<v Speaker 1>He's even thrusting back into Ilia.

<v Speaker 3>Fuck. Shane gritted out, and he came so hard that

<v Speaker 3>most of it shot up and hit him in the chest.

<v Speaker 3>He was so dazed by his own orgasm that he

<v Speaker 3>almost didn't register when Rosanov tensed instilled behind him. Rosanov

<v Speaker 3>grunted and came inside of Shane's body into a condom.

<v Speaker 3>But still, Shane's body had made that happen, and he

<v Speaker 3>couldn't quite wrap his brain around that fact.

<v Speaker 5>Why did that?

<v Speaker 4>Oh? Like he made him come Like his butt was like.

<v Speaker 5>Oh my god, I did that my ball.

<v Speaker 1>Ilia collapses on top of Shane and then gets up

<v Speaker 1>to go shower. Shane is left alone on the bed

<v Speaker 1>with a sore butt, and he's spiraling about how this

<v Speaker 1>has to be a one time thing. Then Ilia comes

<v Speaker 1>out of the bathroom and says, well, that was fun.

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna leave now, and then Shane is left all alone.

<v Speaker 1>Some time passes and both teams are in Vegas. Both

<v Speaker 1>men are in the running to be named Rookie of

<v Speaker 1>the Year. Ultimately, Shane wins, but he doesn't see Ilia

<v Speaker 1>at the banquet after party. This pisses him off because

<v Speaker 1>if roles were reversed, he would have at least stuck

<v Speaker 1>around to congratulate Ilia. He excuses himself from the party

<v Speaker 1>and goes to the rooftop to get some air and

<v Speaker 1>there's Ilia smoking a cigarette. Shane can tell Ilia is

<v Speaker 1>sulking and asks if he's really so upset that Shane

<v Speaker 1>won the award tonight, and Ilia lets him know that

<v Speaker 1>not everything is.

<v Speaker 4>About him, okay.

<v Speaker 1>Then he tells Shane that he's going back to Russia

<v Speaker 1>in three days. Shane says, oh, okay and sticks his

<v Speaker 1>hand out for a handshake, telling Iliya he'll see him

<v Speaker 1>next season, but Ilia looks around to see if anyone

<v Speaker 1>is watching before pushing Shane against the wall and kissing him.

<v Speaker 1>Shane kisses him back and then pushes him off to

<v Speaker 1>look around to see if anybody saw. The coast is clear,

<v Speaker 1>but Shane says see you next season and then leaves.

<v Speaker 1>It's December of twenty thirteen, two years later, and the

<v Speaker 1>Bears just got a new player named Brian Price. The

<v Speaker 1>team is playing Montreal tomorrow night, and Ilia is filled

<v Speaker 1>with feelings about it. He last saw Shane in October

<v Speaker 1>after the Voyagers lost against the Bears, and he had

<v Speaker 1>angrily fucked Ilia's mouth after the game. Thinking about this

<v Speaker 1>fucked up situation with Hollander makes Ilia feel disgusted with

<v Speaker 1>himself and even more disgusted when he realizes that that

<v Speaker 1>arouses him. It's the night before the game and there

<v Speaker 1>are fans outside the arena burning an effigy of Ilia,

<v Speaker 1>and Shane is like, um, that's a little much. I

<v Speaker 1>guess hockey fans are very intense.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>He checks his phone and sees a text from Ilia

<v Speaker 1>asking how many times Shane thinks he can come in

<v Speaker 1>an hour. He gets hard in his cup and he

<v Speaker 1>writes back, I don't know twice. Maybe I'll text you

<v Speaker 1>after the game, but Ilia responds asking if Shane is

<v Speaker 1>hard right now. He doesn't respond. After the game, he

<v Speaker 1>sends Ilia an address to an abandoned looking building. Ilia

<v Speaker 1>is skeptical when he shows up, but when he heads inside,

<v Speaker 1>Shane takes him to a nice loft apartment. Shane bought

<v Speaker 1>it as an investment property, but Ilia knows that he

<v Speaker 1>bought it for fucking He'd been so sure that this

<v Speaker 1>was the year Shane would call things off, but he

<v Speaker 1>bought them an entire building.

<v Speaker 4>Oh my goodness.

<v Speaker 1>They kiss roughly in strip. He tells Shane he has

<v Speaker 1>one hour and then he has to leave. Ilia presses

<v Speaker 1>his dick against Shane's mouth and tells him to take it.

<v Speaker 1>Ilia watched Hollander's eyes flutter closed as he sucked the

<v Speaker 1>head into his mouth. His tongue rolled around it, flicking

<v Speaker 1>the underside of Ilia's dick and then dipping into the slit.

<v Speaker 1>It was so fucking good and not nearly enough. Hollander growled,

<v Speaker 1>seemingly as frustrated with the angle as Ilia was, and

<v Speaker 1>pushing him down to the mattress before taking Ilia's cock

<v Speaker 1>into his mouth again. This time, Hollander made a meal

<v Speaker 1>of Ilia's dick, his head bobbing in a quick rhythm

<v Speaker 1>that Ilia was not going to be able to endure

<v Speaker 1>for very long, not if he also wanted to fuck Hollander.

<v Speaker 3>In their allotted hour of time. They get right to

<v Speaker 3>it down in Dirty they do.

<v Speaker 1>This book is like eighty percent fucking fucking I love it.

<v Speaker 5>It's beautiful.

<v Speaker 1>The head is so good that Ilia has to tell

<v Speaker 1>Shane to slow down if he wants to fuck, But

<v Speaker 1>then he feels wetness against his thigh. Shane came just

<v Speaker 1>from giving Elia head. Shane is humiliated, but he finishes

<v Speaker 1>Ilia off with his mouth.

<v Speaker 3>I'm going to come. Oh fuck Hollander. Hollander pulled off,

<v Speaker 3>replacing his mouth with his hand. I want to see it.

<v Speaker 3>Seconds later, Ilia erupted. He cried out much louder than

<v Speaker 3>usual as a white hot orgasm rocketed through his body.

<v Speaker 3>Holy shit, Hollander, Ilia gasped.

<v Speaker 1>Shane tells Ilia how hot that was, and it's a

<v Speaker 1>good thing. They're in an empty building, so nobody heard.

<v Speaker 1>And now Ilia is feeling shamed and says he has

<v Speaker 1>to go. So He's like, Okay, I get it, you

<v Speaker 1>don't want anybody to know, but like, do you have

<v Speaker 1>to say it all time?

<v Speaker 4>Goddamn?

<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I feel like that would make anyone be like

<v Speaker 3>mm yeah yeah.

<v Speaker 4>But it's not like they can just be like we're

<v Speaker 4>boyfriends now. Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>True, I mean they could, but it'd be like a

<v Speaker 1>whole thing. They should be able to, oh uh huh.

<v Speaker 1>A few months later, Shane is in Russia to compete

<v Speaker 1>in the Olympics. He overhears a couple of teammates talking

<v Speaker 1>about how brave the male figure skating team is for

<v Speaker 1>competing here with all of the anti gay laws in Russia,

<v Speaker 1>and Shane has to assure himself that Ilia knows how

<v Speaker 1>to keep himself safe in his own country. Meanwhile, Ilya

<v Speaker 1>is stressing because the Russian Olympic hockey team sucks ass,

<v Speaker 1>and he just wants to go to Boston, his home.

<v Speaker 1>So he's like, I fucking hate Russia, I fucking hate

<v Speaker 1>being here. I want to go back to Boston. They

<v Speaker 1>don't compete well and he's scared of his father's reaction.

<v Speaker 1>His father tells him he should be ashamed losing to

<v Speaker 1>lot Via, and Ilia feels like a small child again.

<v Speaker 1>He lets his father berate him for a while and

<v Speaker 1>looks down at his phone to see a text from Shane.

<v Speaker 1>They meet up later that night at the arena while

<v Speaker 1>some other teams play, and Shane can tell Ilia looks

<v Speaker 1>tired and defeated. He's worried, but Ilia's being abrasive and combative,

<v Speaker 1>and eventually Shane just nods and walks away. He realizes

<v Speaker 1>Ilia must be going through something right now, especially with

<v Speaker 1>the embarrassing loss from his team, but he knows he

<v Speaker 1>can't comfort him here. Still, the man looked like he

<v Speaker 1>needed a hug. He turns around to walk back to Ilia,

<v Speaker 1>but by the time he gets there, Ilia is gone pooky.

<v Speaker 2>We fast forward. Shane and Ilia are presenting an NHL

<v Speaker 2>award together, but it's awkward since they haven't spoken once

<v Speaker 2>since the Olympics. When they're on stage presenting the award,

<v Speaker 2>they share a small touch. When that's over, Shane heads

<v Speaker 2>to the bathroom, not locking the door. Elia is quick

<v Speaker 2>to slip into the bathroom and locks it behind him.

<v Speaker 2>Shane tells Ilia to suck his dick, not until later.

<v Speaker 2>If Shane is lucky, he leaves and goes on through

<v Speaker 2>the night, winning his own award. Later, Shane texts him

<v Speaker 2>outside his room and Ilia lets him in. Plia tells

<v Speaker 2>Shane to undress and follow him, leading him to his bedroom.

<v Speaker 2>He wants Shane on the bed, touching himself so Ilia

<v Speaker 2>can watch, and Shane is a good little boy and

<v Speaker 2>does what he's told.

<v Speaker 3>His palm flat. He rubbed his hand over the bulge

<v Speaker 3>in his shorts, slow and deliberate. He let out a low,

<v Speaker 3>shameless moan and slid his hand lower to cup his balls.

<v Speaker 3>Shane lifted his hips, hooked his thumbs into his waistband,

<v Speaker 3>and tugged the underwear down to his thighs. His cocks

<v Speaker 3>sprang free, hard and glistening. Stroke it. Rosen Off instructed,

<v Speaker 3>make yourself come for me.

<v Speaker 4>Oh my god.

<v Speaker 2>Shane strokes himself and tell Elia gives his next command.

<v Speaker 3>Open yourself up. Rosanov said, use your fingers.

<v Speaker 5>Oh fuck.

<v Speaker 3>Shane felt simultaneously mortified and excited.

<v Speaker 4>He reached for the lube.

<v Speaker 3>Yes, let me see you open yourself for me. You're

<v Speaker 3>gonna fuck me, Shane managed to get out. We'll see. Wait,

<v Speaker 3>so he's opened up his little asshole.

<v Speaker 5>He said, let me see that back hole.

<v Speaker 2>Shane obeys and does this until he's begging for Ilia

<v Speaker 2>to fuck him. Ilia stands and goes to the end

<v Speaker 2>of the bed, where Shane crawls and pulls Ilia's dick out,

<v Speaker 2>sucking it. Hate the crawling, I will say, was he naked.

<v Speaker 4>When he was crawling? Yeah? I don't know how I

<v Speaker 4>feel about it.

<v Speaker 2>I don't fuck with that.

<v Speaker 4>Shelby's like, get up. Shelby doesn't like a submissive man.

<v Speaker 2>I'm okay with the submissive, but don't crawl. You can walk,

<v Speaker 2>just get up.

<v Speaker 6>The whole thing of being submissive is like, that's like

<v Speaker 6>the number one they do like crawl?

<v Speaker 2>No, he could do it without crawling.

<v Speaker 4>Would you like it better if they like army crawled crab?

<v Speaker 5>No, you know, crab walks.

<v Speaker 4>Stop.

<v Speaker 5>I'm naked with rage?

<v Speaker 4>Oh, my god, that's a nightmare.

<v Speaker 2>After a minute, he tells Shane to turn around. Shane does,

<v Speaker 2>and Ilia grabs a lube, rolls a condom on and

<v Speaker 2>fucks him until they're both coming. Shane cleans up and

<v Speaker 2>then he leaves. They also do like this weird. We

<v Speaker 2>only have an hour and then like one.

<v Speaker 5>Of them just leaves.

<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, but like why, yeah, why do you have

<v Speaker 1>a curfew?

<v Speaker 3>But maybe that's like a boundary They sack because they're like,

<v Speaker 3>this isn't a relationship, We're not dating.

<v Speaker 5>Probably, I think so.

<v Speaker 2>Shane is in Boston for a game and waiting outside

<v Speaker 2>Ilia's pant hoouse. He has intentions of breaking it off

<v Speaker 2>with Ilia, but then his man opens the door and

<v Speaker 2>only gray sweatpants. Shane launches himself at Ilia, kissing him,

<v Speaker 2>and their clothes come off.

<v Speaker 3>Shane fell to his knees and hauled Rosanoff's sweatpants down.

<v Speaker 4>He said, pants his ass.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he didn't feel like wasting any time. Rosanov wasn't

<v Speaker 3>wearing underwear and his cock was half hard already. Shane

<v Speaker 3>took it into his mouth, Yeah he did.

<v Speaker 2>After a little blow job, Ilia stops Shane, asking if

<v Speaker 2>he can be on top tonight he wants to watch Shane.

<v Speaker 2>Shane is nervous but says okay. They fuck finish all

<v Speaker 2>over each other. They get cleaned up, and they cuddle

<v Speaker 2>for the first time.

<v Speaker 5>Oh cute.

<v Speaker 2>Ilia asks Shane to stay the night, and before Shane

<v Speaker 2>talks himself out of it, he says okay. They make food,

<v Speaker 2>more specifically tuna melts.

<v Speaker 1>I love a good tune of mount I read a

<v Speaker 1>theory that Ilia specifically made the tuna mounts because Shane

<v Speaker 1>is so strict on his diet and it was like

<v Speaker 1>within something that he could eat without feeling bad. Oh,

<v Speaker 1>and the ginger ale.

<v Speaker 5>He always has ginger ale stock.

<v Speaker 2>So that's like Shane's drink a choice as ginger ale.

<v Speaker 2>He doesn't drink or anything during the season, but Ilia

<v Speaker 2>always makes sure he has ginger ale when Shane comes over,

<v Speaker 2>so he has something to do.

<v Speaker 3>Good.

<v Speaker 2>They talk, they get to know each other a little

<v Speaker 2>bit better, and then Ilia's dad calls. He takes a

<v Speaker 2>call really quick, and when he's done, he sits next

<v Speaker 2>to Shane and starts rubbing his weeni through his geen.

<v Speaker 4>Oh.

<v Speaker 2>Shane takes control, straddling Ilia, kissing him and then he

<v Speaker 2>takes both their dicks out so he can them off together.

<v Speaker 2>They come all over Shane's hands and Ilia cries out

<v Speaker 2>Shane and this is huge because they never use each

<v Speaker 2>other's first name. This is the only time.

<v Speaker 4>Ah.

<v Speaker 2>Shane whispers Ilia and they share a tender kiss. But

<v Speaker 2>this scares the living shit out of Shane and he

<v Speaker 2>has too many feelings, so he gets dressed and says

<v Speaker 2>gotta go hours hop we fast forward and Shane's teammates

<v Speaker 2>convince him to go out. He meets famous actress Rose

<v Speaker 2>Landry and they hit it off. She's kind, she's funny,

<v Speaker 2>and she's one of the few people that Shane is

<v Speaker 2>genuinely comfortable with.

<v Speaker 1>I also realize that she's supposed to be like a

<v Speaker 1>version of Jennifer Lawrence.

<v Speaker 6>Oh really oh because of the X Men reference.

<v Speaker 1>Uh huh, and she's getting like painted blue like was

<v Speaker 1>it mystique?

<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

<v Speaker 5>Oh.

<v Speaker 2>By the end of the night, the two exchange contact information,

<v Speaker 2>and in a couple of days, Ilia sees the press

<v Speaker 2>release Shane Hollander and Rose Landry are dating what He's

<v Speaker 2>in denial and refuses to believe it until a whole

<v Speaker 2>week passes with more photos coming in from paparazzi. The

<v Speaker 2>next week, they're supposed to play against each other, and

<v Speaker 2>he wonders what will happen after that game. Shane's team

<v Speaker 2>wins and he goes out with Rose and her friends.

<v Speaker 2>He's not that excited, though, because he was hoping for

<v Speaker 2>Ilia to text him like they normally do after their games,

<v Speaker 2>and it never happened. At the club, Shane dances with

<v Speaker 2>Rose and he's pretty sure her gay friend Miles is

<v Speaker 2>into him, but tries not to think about it, and

<v Speaker 2>then he sees him across the dance floor grinding and

<v Speaker 2>kissing on a woman. It's Ilia, and Shane stares in shock.

<v Speaker 1>Oh the things just said, Oh the things just say,

<v Speaker 1>Run under my head, Run.

<v Speaker 4>Under my head. Is that the song that played when

<v Speaker 4>during this scene?

<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, oh Tattoo, I love them.

<v Speaker 2>Ilia looks up and sees Shane's staring, and then Shane

<v Speaker 2>is leaving the club. It's one week later. Shane and

<v Speaker 2>Rose go to lunch and she tells him that she

<v Speaker 2>realized maybe she's forcing their relationship a little too much

<v Speaker 2>and Shane might do better with someone like her friend Miles.

<v Speaker 2>So she's picked up on the cues.

<v Speaker 3>I mean the girls sometimes they just know.

<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

<v Speaker 2>She says that she has zero hard feelings and just

<v Speaker 2>wants him to be happy, and he is relieved because

<v Speaker 2>this is the first time he can openly say and

<v Speaker 2>admit that he likes men. He doesn't say who he's

<v Speaker 2>been fucking with, but he's open about being gay. She

<v Speaker 2>tells him that they need to remain friends and better

<v Speaker 2>yet best friends, so to text her every single day

<v Speaker 2>because she'll be texting him. It's very cute that she

<v Speaker 2>was like, it's so supportive about it.

<v Speaker 4>That's sweet.

<v Speaker 2>She's like, it seems like we're trying to put a

<v Speaker 2>square peg into a round hole. And then he's like,

<v Speaker 2>I like to be the hole instead of the pig.

<v Speaker 2>And she's like, this is the best thing any of

<v Speaker 2>my gay boyfriends have ever told me.

<v Speaker 4>Oh my god.

<v Speaker 2>This year's All Star Game has Shane and Ilia playing

<v Speaker 2>on the same team for the first time ever. Shane

<v Speaker 2>is really excited about it, but he doesn't know how

<v Speaker 2>Ilia feels since they still haven't talked. Before the game.

<v Speaker 2>They talk a little bit with their teammates around and

<v Speaker 2>Ilia learns that Shane is not with Rose anymore, and Ilia's.

<v Speaker 4>Like, hmm.

<v Speaker 2>Once the All Star game is over. Everyone is celebrating

<v Speaker 2>the win, and Shane is on the beach by himself.

<v Speaker 2>Ilia approaches and Shane asks to talk to him in private,

<v Speaker 2>and Alia tells him his room number and then leaves.

<v Speaker 2>When Shane gets to his room, he wants clarification on

<v Speaker 2>what this thing is between them. Alia tries to say,

<v Speaker 2>we're just fucking, but Shane says after last time, no,

<v Speaker 2>you use my name.

<v Speaker 5>You made me a tune a melt.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

<v Speaker 2>Ilia tells Shane that it can't be anything more because

<v Speaker 2>he would never be allowed back in Russia if it was.

<v Speaker 2>Alia gets into the fact that his dad and his

<v Speaker 2>brother are cops, and even though his dad is dying

<v Speaker 2>from Alzheimer's, he would never be able to go back.

<v Speaker 2>Shane says okay and then hugs Ilia, kissing him before leaving.

<v Speaker 2>When they see each other again, it's messy and frantic.

<v Speaker 2>Both men get their blowjobs and then it's time to go.

<v Speaker 2>After the next game that Ilia's team won against Shane,

<v Speaker 2>his brother calls and it's not for money. His dad

<v Speaker 2>has passed away. Oh, he's kind of a piece of shit.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

<v Speaker 2>Shane waits up until midnight for Ilia to text him

<v Speaker 2>to come over, since they do this after every single game,

<v Speaker 2>and the text never comes. The next day, he learns

<v Speaker 2>that Ilia went home to Russia, but no one other

<v Speaker 2>than the Boston team knows why, but Shane has an idea.

<v Speaker 2>He calls Ilia and confirms that his dad did pass away,

<v Speaker 2>and he tells Ilia that he's there for him whatever

<v Speaker 2>he needs. In the hang up. It's two days later

<v Speaker 2>and Shane calls to check in on Ilia again. Ilia

<v Speaker 2>admits that he's a mess and he doesn't know how

<v Speaker 2>to convey it in English. Shane tells him to just

<v Speaker 2>say it all in Russian. He won't be able to understand,

<v Speaker 2>but it will probably help, so Ilia does.

<v Speaker 3>Mostly he had just been ranting about his family, but

<v Speaker 3>he had included an admission that he wished things could

<v Speaker 3>have been different with his father, that he had stupidly

<v Speaker 3>always hoped that his father might tell him he was

<v Speaker 3>proud of him. That admission would have been embarrassing. But

<v Speaker 3>Ilia had also slipped in and on top of everything,

<v Speaker 3>I'm pretty sure I'm in love with you and I

<v Speaker 3>don't know what to do about it.

<v Speaker 5>Oh my god.

<v Speaker 2>It's the next day and Ilia is turned after his

<v Speaker 2>dad's funeral, and he calls Shane. Ilia wants Shane to

<v Speaker 2>distract him and describe his bedroom to him. Shane does,

<v Speaker 2>but Alia's quickly bored of that and tells him, yeah, yeah, nevermind.

<v Speaker 2>He switches the subject, telling Shane that he never wants

<v Speaker 2>to come back to Russia and he wants to become

<v Speaker 2>an American citizen. Alia talks about how he could do

<v Speaker 2>that through marriage to an American girl, and Shane interrupts

<v Speaker 2>him by asking him to come stay at his cottage

<v Speaker 2>this summer. Alia says that he'll have to think about it.

<v Speaker 2>The day before Ilia's supposed to leave Russia, he skypes

<v Speaker 2>Shane and it's their first like video chat because they

<v Speaker 2>only ever text, and then called this couple times right,

<v Speaker 2>He misses him and tells Shane to strip and get

<v Speaker 2>on his bed. Shane does this he's told, and he

<v Speaker 2>then tells Shane to get on his knees and show

<v Speaker 2>him what he wants. Shane asked him to do the same,

<v Speaker 2>so they prop their phones and mirror their positions to

<v Speaker 2>each other, so they're like on the bed on their knees,

<v Speaker 2>like with their their wienies out with their weenies or

<v Speaker 2>we kies. They do some hot skype sex and Ilia

<v Speaker 2>watches Shane stroke himself.

<v Speaker 3>He stroked himself, sliding his thumb over his slit. Ilia

<v Speaker 3>knew it must be wet. Shane always leaked like a fountain,

<v Speaker 3>leaky boy.

<v Speaker 2>Before it goes further, Shane stops and asks if they

<v Speaker 2>can see each other's faces instead of this position. Ilia agrees,

<v Speaker 2>and they continue their skype sex, just staring into each

<v Speaker 2>other's eyes until they both come.

<v Speaker 5>They're just like, it's probably very beautiful.

<v Speaker 2>That's probably not. When that's done, Shane is sleepy and

<v Speaker 2>they say goodbye. They hang up, and Ilia knows that

<v Speaker 2>he is in fact in love with Shane.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you are so.

<v Speaker 6>Montreal and Boston are on the ice playing each other,

<v Speaker 6>and they're at Boston home game, and neither Shane nor

<v Speaker 6>Ilia have seen each other since the skype call. Shane

<v Speaker 6>skated up to Ilia nonchalantly said hi to his fake

<v Speaker 6>enemy on the ice, and asked if they were still

<v Speaker 6>planning to meet up after the game today. Shane felt

<v Speaker 6>that something was off with Ilia, and even though he

<v Speaker 6>asked if he was okay, Ilia just said yes and

<v Speaker 6>that they'll just talk later.

<v Speaker 5>He's like, very like, yes, don't lead.

<v Speaker 6>So both Shane and Ilia were having the best time

<v Speaker 6>playing each other on the ice because they're both number

<v Speaker 6>one and number two in the sport and they can

<v Speaker 6>actually play and keep up with each other, and they

<v Speaker 6>were just having the best of time. As Shane gets

<v Speaker 6>the puck from Ilia. One second, Ilia was racing after Shane,

<v Speaker 6>and the next Shane is laid out motionless on the

<v Speaker 6>ice after being slammed against the boards from another Boston player.

<v Speaker 4>He's fine.

<v Speaker 6>Shane finally gained consciousness and all he could hear was

<v Speaker 6>Ilia saying his name. He says Ilia's name back, and

<v Speaker 6>he's confused. He hears someone telling Ilia that they need

<v Speaker 6>him to stand back because they need to put Shane

<v Speaker 6>on a spinal board, and the blurry figures are all

<v Speaker 6>going in and out, and Shane says out loud, we're

<v Speaker 6>not alone, Ilia, they can see us. Shane tries to

<v Speaker 6>let anyone know, to tell Ilia that he's okay, but

<v Speaker 6>he's like mumbling and not making sense because he just

<v Speaker 6>got his shit absolutely rocked.

<v Speaker 5>Like he was not okay on the ice.

<v Speaker 4>I'm a bitch. I'm like, he's okay, get up.

<v Speaker 6>Then he's lifted off the ice and into an ambulance.

<v Speaker 6>The next day, while Ilia's team left to go to

<v Speaker 6>the airport, Ilias stayed behind and went to the hospital

<v Speaker 6>to see his Pooky.

<v Speaker 4>Oh he's Meana.

<v Speaker 6>Shane has a concussion and a fractured collar bone, but

<v Speaker 6>he's generally okay, and the instant Ilia saw him, he

<v Speaker 6>was relieved.

<v Speaker 4>He spent all night not.

<v Speaker 6>Sleeping and constantly refreshing sport articles to see if there

<v Speaker 6>was any news at all posted on his Pooky. The

<v Speaker 6>scare of his injury really put things into perspective for him.

<v Speaker 6>Yesterday when Ilia was being really weird and sketchy on

<v Speaker 6>the ice and he was like, yes, talk later. He

<v Speaker 6>was actually gonna cut things off with Shane that night

<v Speaker 6>because he was like, we're doomed, Like I'm starting to

<v Speaker 6>catch feelings for you, and this is gonna go nowhere

<v Speaker 6>because it can't go anywhere.

<v Speaker 4>That's so sad.

<v Speaker 6>But now seeing a cute, broken little Shane in the

<v Speaker 6>how hospital, he realized how much he cares for him.

<v Speaker 6>Shane breaks Ilia's train of thought by asking Elia if

<v Speaker 6>he'll come to the cottage. They could have two weeks together,

<v Speaker 6>more time with just them. Ilia, not wanting to put

<v Speaker 6>Shane down while he was injured, said maybe Shane's watching

<v Speaker 6>Ilia lose to Scott Hunter's New York team, and his

<v Speaker 6>parents make a little.

<v Speaker 5>Jab at Ilia.

<v Speaker 6>Although they still don't like him, they're a little bit

<v Speaker 6>more lenient towards him since they found out that he

<v Speaker 6>came to visit him in the hospital. Memories of his

<v Speaker 6>visit fled Shane and he suddenly swept in and how

<v Speaker 6>much he really loves Ilia. He's been plotting on how

<v Speaker 6>he can come out to his parents and tell them

<v Speaker 6>that he's with Ilia, but at the same time, he

<v Speaker 6>doesn't think that their future is very bright because since

<v Speaker 6>the hospital visit, they hardly spoke at all. Now that

<v Speaker 6>Ilia's season is about to be over, he's expecting him

<v Speaker 6>to call it quits, and Shane is torn because he wants.

<v Speaker 5>To fight for them and fight for their love.

<v Speaker 6>But remember, like gay marriage is illegal in Russia, so

<v Speaker 6>it's also a huge deal for Ilia if they were

<v Speaker 6>to be a couple, because that means he could never

<v Speaker 6>go back ever.

<v Speaker 3>But you can't beat yourself fair.

<v Speaker 6>It's the final game now, and Ilia's watching Scott Hunter

<v Speaker 6>win the Stanley Cup all alone in his house in Boston.

<v Speaker 6>He's completely isolated now, not even wanting the company of Svetlana.

<v Speaker 6>He has no one because his dad's dead. He hates

<v Speaker 6>his brother, he doesn't want to go to Russia.

<v Speaker 1>And Sivetlana is just like this girl that.

<v Speaker 4>He fucks sometimes when he's bored.

<v Speaker 5>She seems cool, She's.

<v Speaker 4>Cool with it.

<v Speaker 6>Him and Shane are texting about Scott winning the Stanley

<v Speaker 6>Cup when the unthinkable happens. Scott Hunter grabs a man

<v Speaker 6>and kisses him straight on the mouth, passionately, on live television.

<v Speaker 3>He kissed a man on TV.

<v Speaker 2>Scott Hunter kiss.

<v Speaker 6>Out there winning the Stanley Cup.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

<v Speaker 6>Shane instantly texts Ilia if he sees what he's seeing.

<v Speaker 6>Before Shane could even text again, Ilia calls him instantly,

<v Speaker 6>and when Shane picks up, Elia says.

<v Speaker 5>I'm coming to the cottage.

<v Speaker 1>Your Russian accent is very very good.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, very good.

<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

<v Speaker 4>She's been practicing.

<v Speaker 6>Today is the day that Eli gets to the cottage.

<v Speaker 6>And this is all thanks to Scott Hunter for giving

<v Speaker 6>them both the courage to just live in the moment

<v Speaker 6>and be happy together, even though it's still in secretcy,

<v Speaker 6>although now having one gay hockey player might help lessen

<v Speaker 6>the blow when Shane comes out. Him and Ilia's situation

<v Speaker 6>is still extremely delicate because they're arch nemesis to the

<v Speaker 6>whole hockey world. Shane gives his family an excuse of

<v Speaker 6>a mental meditation training alibi so him and Ilia won't

<v Speaker 6>be bothered for the next two weeks so they can

<v Speaker 6>get uninterrupted pooky time. Once inside the house, Shane offered

<v Speaker 6>him a tour, but ilias stalked towards him and closed

<v Speaker 6>the distance, giving him a passionate kiss. They get to

<v Speaker 6>smooch in and Shane makes a comment saying it's been

<v Speaker 6>a while for him, and Ilia says me too, and

<v Speaker 6>up until their last hook up, Ilia was still hooking

<v Speaker 6>up with women, but since they were last together, he

<v Speaker 6>hasn't wanted or needed anyone else. Only Shane. Oh you,

<v Speaker 6>Shane asked if they can be honest and essentially vulnerable

<v Speaker 6>with each other these next two weeks.

<v Speaker 4>Will you?

<v Speaker 3>Shane asked skeptically, yes, I will do anything if it

<v Speaker 3>will make you touch my dick right now. Shane laughed

<v Speaker 3>and shook his head, but then he slid down Ilia's

<v Speaker 3>body and hauled down Ilia's shorts and thank thank.

<v Speaker 6>Christ, Shane gave him the gluck cluck three thousand and

<v Speaker 6>Ilia admitted in Russian that he would stay here forever

<v Speaker 6>if he could. They both gave each other blowy's and

<v Speaker 6>then coddled and hung out on the couch for hours,

<v Speaker 6>and Ilia realized that Shane was happy.

<v Speaker 4>It's a big.

<v Speaker 6>Revelation for Ilia that he was able to do this

<v Speaker 6>for Shane because all of his life he's always tried

<v Speaker 6>to please his family and they were never satisfied and

<v Speaker 6>always wanted more from him. So the fact that he

<v Speaker 6>was able to like make Shane happy just by like

<v Speaker 6>hanging out with yea literally doing the bare minimum, he

<v Speaker 6>was like, wait, I'm enough for someone.

<v Speaker 5>It's like a huge moment for him.

<v Speaker 4>Oh, precious babe.

<v Speaker 2>Shane gives Ilia a house tour and starts showing.

<v Speaker 4>Him the guest room.

<v Speaker 3>I want to sleep in your bed, Shane Hollander. Ilia murmured,

<v Speaker 3>I want to do lots of things in my bed.

<v Speaker 3>Show me, take me to bed.

<v Speaker 6>They get to Shane's room and Ilia is taking in

<v Speaker 6>every detail. This place is Shane's true home, a place

<v Speaker 6>he's never been in before, and his sacred place, and

<v Speaker 6>both of them take in this moment.

<v Speaker 3>The kiss felt weird and Shane realized it was because

<v Speaker 3>neither of them could stop smart. You're here, he murmured, yes,

<v Speaker 3>Now take off my clothes.

<v Speaker 6>They get on Shane's bed, and Jane's being playful until

<v Speaker 6>Ilia tells him he's waited years to get him in

<v Speaker 6>his real bed, and then things turn lusty. They're kissing

<v Speaker 6>until Shane pleads to get fucked.

<v Speaker 5>He's like, please fuck me.

<v Speaker 4>Oh god. Shane wanted this.

<v Speaker 3>He wanted to thrust his ass into the air and

<v Speaker 3>to command Ilia to hurry the fuck up. But Ilia

<v Speaker 3>was making a slow journey down Shane's body, placing a

<v Speaker 3>soft kiss on each notch of his spine. He was

<v Speaker 3>in no hurry at all.

<v Speaker 6>Ilia started kissing down his back, but rather than stopping

<v Speaker 6>at the bottom of his back, he kept going.

<v Speaker 3>His tongue slipped into the crease of Shane's ass as

<v Speaker 3>his big hands pulled his cheeks apart. Shane held his breath.

<v Speaker 3>He couldn't believe Ilia was actually going to Oh God, Ilia.

<v Speaker 3>Shane felt the wet heat of Ilia's tongue lapping at

<v Speaker 3>his hole, and he had never experienced anything like it.

<v Speaker 3>It was impossibly intimate. It was so bold and fearless,

<v Speaker 3>and so Ilia his tongue paused a moment, and Ilia said,

<v Speaker 3>good fucking great, A little ass eating fine.

<v Speaker 6>Just when Shane didn't think it can get any better,

<v Speaker 6>he stuck his tongue inside and starts tongue fucking Shane's ass.

<v Speaker 6>The friction of Shane's boner like humping the bed as

<v Speaker 6>he's getting tongue fucked, was about to make him come,

<v Speaker 6>so he picked himself off the bed really quick and

<v Speaker 6>ended up like smushing Ilia's face more into Shane's ass.

<v Speaker 6>This caused Ilia to stop tongue fucking him, and with

<v Speaker 6>that distraction, Shane was like, fuck it, and he grabs

<v Speaker 6>his face and they start making out. Ilia flips him

<v Speaker 6>on his back and grabs the loop. Deciding it's finally

<v Speaker 6>time to go to poundtown. He pounds into him and

<v Speaker 6>Shane can be as load as he wants to be now.

<v Speaker 3>Oh, Shane, yes, I want to hear it. Ilia slammed

<v Speaker 3>into him over and over, making the headboard bang against

<v Speaker 3>the wall. Shane reached a hand up to steady it,

<v Speaker 3>but Ilia just covered his hand with his own, bracing

<v Speaker 3>himself against the wall and fucking him even harder.

<v Speaker 6>Over dinner, the topic of Shane's parents, and Shane's sexuality

<v Speaker 6>comes up, and he knows that his parents would be

<v Speaker 6>so supportive and he probably would have told him that

<v Speaker 6>he was gay by now if he wasn't with Ilia.

<v Speaker 6>Ilia doesn't understand why he can't just tell his parents

<v Speaker 6>that he's gay and leave Ilia out of the picture.

<v Speaker 6>But what Shane doesn't tell him is that he doesn't

<v Speaker 6>want to leave Ilia out, But he also doesn't want

<v Speaker 6>to tell his parents that he's only just fucking Ilia Rosanov,

<v Speaker 6>because deep down, Shane wants Ilia to meet his parents,

<v Speaker 6>and he wants the three most important people in his

<v Speaker 6>life to know each other. He wants his parents to

<v Speaker 6>have contact with the man he's been with for the

<v Speaker 6>past seven years.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's a long ass fucking time.

<v Speaker 5>Have a situationship. That's crazy. That is so crazy.

<v Speaker 6>The next day was amazing. They woke up in each

<v Speaker 6>other's arms and wrote jet skis and have then had

<v Speaker 6>a bonfire on the shore in the afternoon. While closing

<v Speaker 6>up next to each other on the bonfire, we find

<v Speaker 6>out that Ilia's mom died by suicide when he was twelve,

<v Speaker 6>and Ilia was the one who found her. His whole

<v Speaker 6>family was too ashamed of it, so they told everyone

<v Speaker 6>it was an accident and tried covering it up that way,

<v Speaker 6>and Ilia cried while telling Shane the whole story of

<v Speaker 6>her life and the whole time Shane stayed and never

<v Speaker 6>left his side. The next day, Shane's besty Hayden calls,

<v Speaker 6>and Ilia decides to give Shane a blowy while on

<v Speaker 6>the phone, but he wouldn't touch him until Shane's stick

<v Speaker 6>was rock hard, because Shane was like, you're a fucking

<v Speaker 6>weirdo for wanting to do this, But then within a minute,

<v Speaker 6>Shane's dick was standing right up.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

<v Speaker 6>Ilian forces the gluckluck three thousand and Shane has to

<v Speaker 6>mute himself while he comes violently hard into Ilia's mouth.

<v Speaker 6>Since being here, Ilia has been thinking after this upcoming

<v Speaker 6>season's over, his contract with Boston is done and he

<v Speaker 6>can go anywhere he wants. He was thinking, instead of

<v Speaker 6>playing in the American League, he can maybe play in

<v Speaker 6>the Canadian League. He would be able to see Shane Moore,

<v Speaker 6>and if they were both in Canada, maybe he could

<v Speaker 6>marry Spetlana, and since she's an American citizen, he can

<v Speaker 6>get a citizenship.

<v Speaker 4>Out of her.

<v Speaker 6>He knows it's a lot to ask, but she would

<v Speaker 6>do it for him. Shane asks if he wanted to

<v Speaker 6>marry her, and Ilia says he likes her, but the

<v Speaker 6>marriage would be strictly out of convenience because Ilia has

<v Speaker 6>this problem. Shane is instantly intrigued, and Ilia goes on

<v Speaker 6>to tell him that he likes women and he's been

<v Speaker 6>with plenty, but no matter the situation, he can't stop

<v Speaker 6>thinking about a hockey player with stupid freckles and a

<v Speaker 6>weak backhand who drives a terrible car. And it's a

<v Speaker 6>huge problem because out of all the women in the world,

<v Speaker 6>he wishes they were all him. Shane asks if he

<v Speaker 6>wants the problem to go away, and Ilia simply says no.

<v Speaker 6>Shane says, then don't marry Svetlana. They will work something

<v Speaker 6>else out, Just please don't marry her. The next day,

<v Speaker 6>the guys were brainforming about their future. They thought if

<v Speaker 6>Ilia was able to play for another team in Canada,

<v Speaker 6>like Ottawa, which is two hours apart from Montreal, they

<v Speaker 6>could change the narrative of their story. They could start

<v Speaker 6>a charity together, something that benefits both cities, and maybe

<v Speaker 6>someday when they both retire, they can be together for real?

<v Speaker 5>So this is like a forty year plan.

<v Speaker 6>Yeah. When Ilia asks if he wants that to be together,

<v Speaker 6>Shane says so much, it scares him. They start kissing,

<v Speaker 6>and Ilia was murmuring something in Russian over and over

<v Speaker 6>and over again. He pulled back and translated it to Shane,

<v Speaker 6>and he says, I love you. Both of them froze,

<v Speaker 6>and Shane says, I love you too, and this is

<v Speaker 6>my favorite line of the whole book, so I had

<v Speaker 6>to put in here. Shane says, does it feel like

<v Speaker 6>agony for you too? And Ilia starts nodding and then

<v Speaker 6>stops and starts shaking his head, and he says, not anymore.

<v Speaker 6>Oh my god, sweet, they're both love stricken right now

<v Speaker 6>and they need to get sexual.

<v Speaker 3>Ilia shook his head, grinning, you love me, show me

<v Speaker 3>how much stroke yourself and maybe I will fuck you.

<v Speaker 3>As if there was even a chance that Ilia wouldn't.

<v Speaker 3>Shane wrapped trembling fingers around his cock and very carefully

<v Speaker 3>dragged them up the length of a shaft. Ilia gasped

<v Speaker 3>at this display of obedience. He knew Shane wasn't lying

<v Speaker 3>about how dangerously close he was. His slit was dripping

<v Speaker 3>pre come, I love how fucking wet you get, Shane.

<v Speaker 4>He's just a wet guy, he is.

<v Speaker 6>They make love and say I love you the whole time,

<v Speaker 6>and it's beautiful. We find out Ilia's Mother's name was Erna,

<v Speaker 6>and Shane said that the charity they start should be

<v Speaker 6>a hockey camp and the money that they make can

<v Speaker 6>go towards mental health organizations going towards suicide prevention. Ilia

<v Speaker 6>was trying his hard as not to cry as he

<v Speaker 6>told Shane his mother would have loved him.

<v Speaker 4>Oh.

<v Speaker 6>The next day, the men are out in the water

<v Speaker 6>when things get a little spicy between them. They fool

<v Speaker 6>around a bit in the water and on the dock,

<v Speaker 6>and they decide to make some lunch. Before making it

<v Speaker 6>back inside, Elia grabs Shane and tells him he loves him,

<v Speaker 6>and they passionately kiss. The moment is perfect until they

<v Speaker 6>hear a gasping noise and they look up to see

<v Speaker 6>Shane's dad standing inside the house watching them and shock.

<v Speaker 1>My son, my boy, what have you done to my boy?

<v Speaker 6>He quickly turns to leave, and before Shane could run

<v Speaker 6>after him, he sees his car speeding away.

<v Speaker 4>He's like his dad. Yeah, he's probably scared.

<v Speaker 1>He's like, ah, I'd be embarrassed as fuck. If I

<v Speaker 1>was the dad, I'd be like.

<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, what have I done? I gotta go. Yeah, okay.

<v Speaker 3>I feel like anyone would react that way if they

<v Speaker 3>saw that and they didn't know, you know what I mean,

<v Speaker 3>I'd be like, oh my god, oh my god, I

<v Speaker 3>believe they saw me.

<v Speaker 6>Shane decided if they're gonna rebop the band aid Elly

<v Speaker 6>is coming with them to talk to his parents. They

<v Speaker 6>get changed to make the quick ten minute drive to

<v Speaker 6>Shane's parents' house, and as they walk in, she's.

<v Speaker 4>Like, hey, hey, mom, me, dad, how you doing.

<v Speaker 6>We need to talk, and his dad's really pale and

<v Speaker 6>obviously just got done telling Shane's mom what he walked

<v Speaker 6>in on.

<v Speaker 4>And Shane's like, yeah, our son was kissing another bow,

<v Speaker 4>his arch nemesis.

<v Speaker 6>And then he introduces Ilia and he's like, yeah, this

<v Speaker 6>is Ilia, you know, and Ilia's like, yes, we are lovers,

<v Speaker 6>and his parents are gagged. They're like, but you hate him,

<v Speaker 6>and Shane's like, no, I actually love him, like we've

<v Speaker 6>been together since before our rookie year, like seven years.

<v Speaker 4>That's my boy.

<v Speaker 6>They gave a debrief on wanting to be together, and

<v Speaker 6>the struggles it will take, the fear of being dropped

<v Speaker 6>by their teams, and their plan on what they just

<v Speaker 6>came up with with the charity. After leaving Sheen's parents house,

<v Speaker 6>Ilia cracks open some vodka and Shane starts OCD planning

<v Speaker 6>their twenty year future plan, but Ilia grounds him and

<v Speaker 6>tells them that they're celebrating right now because he just

<v Speaker 6>meant Shane's parents and they're not alone in this anymore.

<v Speaker 6>They bang ball sacks and swam that they love each

<v Speaker 6>other at the top of their rungs.

<v Speaker 5>Bang ball sacks.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I've never heard of such a thing.

<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you know, I was actually coming. I came up

<v Speaker 6>with that when I was writing, because, like, you know,

<v Speaker 6>like when you're like fucking dogy style, there's like that clap.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, if you're.

<v Speaker 6>Fucking doggy style like with the guy, like I'm sure

<v Speaker 6>they're they're ball sacks, Like.

<v Speaker 5>Okay, clap.

<v Speaker 1>I thought you meant, like, you know how rub and

<v Speaker 1>Weeni's they like rub their wienies together. I thought you

<v Speaker 1>meant they were just smashing their ball sacks into each other.

<v Speaker 4>No, Charlotte, It's like, I don't get it.

<v Speaker 1>That doesn't sound fun for anybody, but yeah, I see

<v Speaker 1>where you got banging ball sacks.

<v Speaker 6>Ilia tells Shane that when he retires after winning twelve

<v Speaker 6>Stanley Cups and thirteen MVP Awards, he will bring him

<v Speaker 6>to his dock with hundreds of candles all over it

<v Speaker 6>on a full moon.

<v Speaker 3>And I will say, Shane Hollander, will you please marry

<v Speaker 3>me so I can become Canadian citizen faster?

<v Speaker 4>That's funny.

<v Speaker 6>They profess their undying love for each other, and they

<v Speaker 6>come to agreement to only tell their friends because Shane

<v Speaker 6>wants everyone he loves to know the real Ilia Rosenoff.

<v Speaker 6>We're in the epilogue one year later and Shane and

<v Speaker 6>Ilia are playing against each other and are having what

<v Speaker 6>looks like a fight to everyone else in the stands,

<v Speaker 6>but to them it's basically for play. Hayden breaks them

<v Speaker 6>up and tells them to keep their pants on, So

<v Speaker 6>at this point, Hayden knows their secret. Last season, Shane

<v Speaker 6>came out to his teammates as gay and Hayden put

<v Speaker 6>it together when Boston Lily was now Ottawa Lily, and coincidentally,

<v Speaker 6>that's where Rosanoff moved to and Hayden made a joke

<v Speaker 6>that maybe Ilia was the mystery person that he'd been seeing.

<v Speaker 6>Shane didn't want to lie to his best friend, so

<v Speaker 6>he confirmed it, and at first Hayden was not on board,

<v Speaker 6>but when Shane told him that he loved him, he said, well,

<v Speaker 6>then it's time to meet him properly.

<v Speaker 4>I guess.

<v Speaker 6>Shane sold his Montreal apartment that he got when him

<v Speaker 6>and Ilia started hooking up, and Ilias sold most of

<v Speaker 6>his car collection and the money that they got from

<v Speaker 6>both of those, they started the Arena Foundation and tomorrow

<v Speaker 6>is the launch of it. This is something that they've

<v Speaker 6>been planning for over a year now. Ilias signed with

<v Speaker 6>Ottawa and Shane bought another house closer to the rank

<v Speaker 6>and to Ilia. Hayden walked in on them having a

<v Speaker 6>private moment in the bathroom before the launch event, and

<v Speaker 6>although he hasn't given the best to approval yet and

<v Speaker 6>he even gave Ilia a black eye the night before,

<v Speaker 6>he stood guard outside the bathroom for Shane and Ilia

<v Speaker 6>to have a private moment before going out and presenting.

<v Speaker 6>During their announcement, they both stated how much respect they

<v Speaker 6>have for each other and how much they have developed

<v Speaker 6>a friendship off the ice. And now today they have

<v Speaker 6>started a charity together. Ilia has a moment off script

<v Speaker 6>where he's open about his mother's mental health struggles, and Shane,

<v Speaker 6>even knowing that they're in public, put his hand on

<v Speaker 6>Ilia's arm in solitude and thanked him for sharing. When

<v Speaker 6>it was over, they met in the bathroom again and

<v Speaker 6>Ilia stated that he wanted to kiss Shane out.

<v Speaker 5>There in public.

<v Speaker 6>Shane agreed and told Ilia how proud he is to

<v Speaker 6>be with them secret or no secret, and when the

<v Speaker 6>time is right, they will come out together. Before leaving

<v Speaker 6>the event, Ilia texted Shane the room number that he

<v Speaker 6>booked for them for the night, and Chane said, seriously,

<v Speaker 6>this is the best news ever and went to go

<v Speaker 6>meet his boyfriend.

<v Speaker 4>The end cute and they have another book too.

<v Speaker 1>Ooh, so, Riley, how many red pepper emojis do you

<v Speaker 1>give this one?

<v Speaker 3>I liked it a lot, the story, all of it.

<v Speaker 4>I honestly think I can give it a five.

<v Speaker 5>You should watch the show.

<v Speaker 3>I know.

<v Speaker 1>I want to just go tell Andrew real quick, Hey

<v Speaker 1>do you want to start a hockey drama with me?

<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

<v Speaker 4>He's gonna be like I heard about this.

<v Speaker 5>It is such a beautiful show.

<v Speaker 4>It is really good and they'd be boinkin'. Yeah. Would

<v Speaker 4>you guys rate the book five?

<v Speaker 3>Okay?

<v Speaker 2>I gave it a four and a half only because

<v Speaker 2>I love them both so much. But sometimes I want

<v Speaker 2>to punch Shane in the face. Why he's just very

<v Speaker 2>conflicting and I need him to grow up and just

<v Speaker 2>say he likes men.

<v Speaker 4>All right?

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I gave it a four and a half because

<v Speaker 1>they had human penises.

<v Speaker 3>Fair enough, didn't you say, no book will be a five?

<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

<v Speaker 1>Without a monster dick, you can't be a five star.

<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry.

<v Speaker 2>It says that Ilia's is nine inches and that's kind

<v Speaker 2>of a monster dick.

<v Speaker 4>That is a monster.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but it doesn't have like tentacles or ant. So

<v Speaker 1>give me a n eye minus half a star.

<v Speaker 4>All right.

<v Speaker 1>So next week we're telling Riley all about Pack Darling

<v Speaker 1>by Lola Young, and we're gonna have her look at

<v Speaker 1>the cover and give us her best guess on what

<v Speaker 1>it might be about.

<v Speaker 3>Oh, girl, I don't thought good. No, this cover gives

<v Speaker 3>me nothing.

<v Speaker 4>It's a girl on.

<v Speaker 1>The cover, she has braids, she's a pack darling.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so the pack is making me think, like, oh,

<v Speaker 3>it's almost making me think what is that verse called

<v Speaker 3>omega verse?

<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

<v Speaker 3>Girl, that's what it's making me think of. So I

<v Speaker 3>feel like possibly it's one of those like what is

<v Speaker 3>it succubis Omega alpha, one of those cubeb it's alpha

<v Speaker 3>omega and beta beta.

<v Speaker 4>What's a succubist?

<v Speaker 2>That's the sex demon?

<v Speaker 4>I thought it was in that world.

<v Speaker 3>Okay, So there's gonna be an alpha beta omega, and

<v Speaker 3>I think that our main character, our girl, is going

<v Speaker 3>to be the alpha.

<v Speaker 1>That'd be kind of cool, right, that would be cool,

<v Speaker 1>And she's gonna find a what is it? The betas

<v Speaker 1>are the submissive ones and the omega is. The omega

<v Speaker 1>are the ones that go into heat and they're.

<v Speaker 4>Like, oh my god, I need a nest.

<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine that was a man he's like, oh

<v Speaker 1>my god, and some pussy.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

<v Speaker 4>Gross, I take back what I said, swap it.
