    Summary

    "Someone did this to me."

    Ilya can only nod, knowing that there's not much else to say. What comfort can he offer, when he can only imagine the turmoil that Shane must feel?

    "You're safe now," he offers, hoping that it can offer some measure of solace.

    Shane's eyes flit back to him, wide and swallowed up by a tangle of emotions.

    "I always was," he says, his voice hushed. "You were there."

    Shane is drugged by heat inducers at the club, and Ilya is there to help him through it.

    Summary

    No matter how much he loved his husband, Shane had always wanted to be a star hockey player first and foremost, not a 'gay hockey player' defined first by his sexuality.

    He had also made peace with what their marriage meant, and the challenges they faced in hockey because of it; he had found happiness in the bubble they had in Ottawa with the Centaurs.

    That safe bubble burst one day with an unexpected call from Hockey Canada, and by the time it was all said and done, there was going to be a picture of Shane beside ‘gay icon’ in the urban dictionary.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov doesn’t like asking for help, especially at four in the morning. Unfortunately, his appendix doesn’t care about pride.

    When the pain gets bad enough to force his hand—and Shane is hours away—he calls Yuna. She answers before the second ring.

    Summary

    When vampires reveal themselves to the world, governments respond with rules, contracts, and something called the Ethical Feeding Program. Shane Hollander signs up because he believes in consent, in structure, in doing things the right way. He doesn't expect to be chosen by Ilya Rozanov--ancient, powerful, and far too interested in Shane. What starts as a strictly negotiated arrangement becomes something far more fragile--and far more dangerous--than either of them anticipated.
