Summary
“You treat me like I’m made of glass, Shane. You act like I'm about to break, like I'm this close to ruining everything.” Ilya’s voice drops to a whisper. “It makes me feel like loving me is work.”
Shane’s composure fractures. “Because I’m scared!" He drags a hand through his hair, breathing harder now. "And—and so are you! You don’t have to pretend you’re not, it’s fine to say it. I’m fucking scared, okay?”
There it is. The soft underbelly. And Ilya sees it—the exposed place, the honesty, the fear—and instead of softening, something in him hardens. “Scared of me,” he says, already deciding that's what he heard.
“No,” Shane says, immediately. “No, not of you. Just scared. Of this whole situation. Of not knowing what to do, or what to say. Of messing up." A beat. "Scared of losing you.”
And it should be sweet, should land as devotion, but it just makes Ilya’s chest ache. His smile twists, bittersweet. “But maybe you’re already losing me. Have you thought of that?”
Every day, there's less of me left, he wants to say.
Loving Shane Hollander changes Ilya Rozanov's life, but it doesn't save it.
It doesn’t have to.

OR
AU where Shane sends the "We didn't even kiss" text and returns to Ilya's room to confront him.

Summary
Jane: We didn't even kiss.
The words stare back at him. They fucking taunt him, the same way Ilya does with that wink of his, with his smirk and his deep voice.
Abruptly, Shane feels pissed off and a little like he’s grasping for something that’s slipping away. He feels the way he did in that bathroom, the first time he had Ilya’s attention for months and didn’t want to let Ilya escape without stealing more of it.
The elevator door opens. Shane does not get off.
Instead, he presses the button for Penthouse 1 and hits send on We didn’t even kiss.
He watches the floor numbers increase as the elevator carries him back to Ilya. Shane has no idea what he’s going to say to the asshole but he knows he has so many words that are about to burst out of his mouth.
Fuck you being the first two.
OR Shane goes back for that kiss.

Summary
In the elevator, the tightening in his throat caught up to him and he typed the words into his phone without thought.
-we didn’t even kiss-
Tears welled in Shane’s eyes and he dropped his head against the wall. It was too much. It was all too much. Delete.
Except with the tears in his eyes, his vision blurred, Shane didn’t hit backspace. He hit send. “Fuck.”
