    Summary

    Scent patches were mandatory for anyone participating in World Junior's, but a lot of the Russian guys Shane saw in the hotel or around the rink had them loosely attached to their necks or not quite centered over their scent gland. Shane had been on his way to his parents' car when the wind shifted, and he smelled that Rozanov, leaning against the wall and not-at-all-surreptitiously fishing a carton of cigarettes out of his pocket, must have been one of them.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "That's the thing," said Shane. "Everyone talks about how amazing and romantic it would be to have a true mate, but I never got to decide if I even wanted this. It's unfair."

    When he was younger, it had felt so unjust that it had made him sick with rage, how the arc of the universe eternally bent towards Ilya Rozanov. That Ilya didn't just get everything Shane had ever wanted; he also got Shane. It felt like some kind of ironic punishment for Shane's hubris.

    Summary

    "Regardless of your personal reasons for choosing someone like me, I promise to do anything the situation requires.” Shane lost his train of thought as something shifted in Ilya’s expression.

    He pushed past the stumble. “Um—If you aren’t satisfied at any point in the process, tell me and I'll make it right. That’s my professional guarantee.”

    Summary

    Flight 771 shouldn't have been any different than any of the hundreds of other flights that Shane has taken over the course of his career, aside from the fact that it was taking him towards his lifelong dream—towards the Olympics.

    It shouldn't have been any different.

    BEND OVER, STAY DOWN.
