    Summary

    "And this is Ilya," Svetlana said, turning to the person beside her. "He's my best friend, we grew up together in Russia."

    When Ilya looked at him, Shane's throat dried up. He stuck out a hand blankly. "Shane Hollander."

    Blushing, Shane looked away. God, it was fucking embarrassing to get caught staring—there were only three people in here.

    Summary

    Shane cups her cheek in his hand, running his thumb over the plush of her bottom lip. She looks at him through her fawnish lashes. He roves his eyes over her body. Her shoulders and biceps, her abs… She's so strong, so…

    Incredible.

    "I've never done that before," he admits, "Not with... with a woman, at least."

    "Right, well," she rolls her eyes, "Would probably be better with a real man, yes?"

    He shakes his head, "No. It wouldn't have been the same at all."

    Summary

    "You want me to hook up with some random guy on one of the rare nights we get to spend together after we flew all the way here on purpose just so I can try to have a different experience?"

    Or: After the cottage, after the confessions, before the trade to Ottawa, Shane and Ilya are adapting to a new version of their relationship, where needs and wants still have to be discussed. They're not great at the whole 'communicating' thing yet, and it all comes to a head when Ilya pushes Shane in the arms of someone else, for what he thinks is the good of everyone involved.

    Based on the conversation mentioned in TLG where Ilya and Shane talked about seeing other people
