    Summary

    “Tell me why I should take you instead, Hollander,” Rozanov ordered. He pronounced every syllable in his last name and purposely drew it out.

    "You want silence. Think about the silence that comes from permanently ending a bloodline. Think about the silence that comes after the scream of a mother who has lost her only child. If you want her to suffer the way you have, then let me take her place and let her live with that. Take me instead of her.”

    Rozanov appeared to be considering the offer. He angled his head at Shane before speaking, “Shane Hollander, do you want to pay the debt your family owes to me by taking the place of your mother?”

    “Yes,” Shane replied without hesitation.

    Or: Mob Boss Grigori Rozanov is murdered in a hit and his son Ilya Rozanov seeks vengeance against those who have wronged his family. Revenge will cost Shane Hollander his freedom, his life, and more after he offers to take his mother's place on Rozanov's hit list.

    Summary

    The touch burned: broad strength, casually possessive, callused fingertips dragging across the cloth of his shirt. Shane was six feet and near ninety kilograms of muscle, and Rozanov touched him and steered him like he expected to be obeyed, and Shane-

    He leaned back, caught by the unthinking pull of Rozanov's dominance. Leaned into Rozanov's hand before his brain could even come online and beg for the silence submission promised, body too stupid and touch-starved to know any better. Too easy.

    Shame welled hot in his throat. He controlled the instinctual jerk away and covered it with a step forward, allowing Rozanov's hand to slide off his back as he ducked towards the bar entrance.

    -

    Shane Hollander, newly free of Montreal and all its memories, is ready to start a new life as the alternate captain for the Ottawa Centaurs. His need to submit, his post-concussion syndrome, his nightmares - he can plan for them, control them, and deny them.

    Too bad no plans survive contact with the immovable object that is Ilya Rozanov, the Centaurs' captain.

    Summary

    Anyway, Shane didn't remember exactly what was in the folder ... But he knew they were all good shots of him.

    He hastily clicked open the folder, his eyes barely glancing through the dozen or so shots there, vaguely registering a picture with a sunset background from his condo balcony, something of him laughing, a picture of him working at his laptop with his glasses on...

    The director called him again, and he shook his head, the photos blurring. Whatever. It would have to do.

    He clicked "select all," then the messages icon, then Rozanov's name. Hit send.

    Or: When never-hooked-up Shane and Ilya have to collaborate on a league charity project, Shane accidentally sends Ilya a nude.

    Summary

    All of Shane Hollander's focus is on keeping his head down and graduating from his sports medicine program. He's perfectly content to focus on his studies, happily neglecting parties or meeting girls. But when he's forced to go a club by his friend Hayden Pike, he meets an alluring stranger named Ilya. After their initial encounter, they begin hooking up in secret as Shane grapples with his sexuality.

    There's something strange about Ilya, though. He won't tell Shane where he works or what he does, threatening people seem to follow him around, and most of all, he's constantly plying Shane with expensive gifts. But it's probably nothing. After all, there's no organized crime in Montreal—right?

    OR: Bratva Ilya Rozanov AU!
