Why does falling in love with you feel so good and hurt so much at the same time? I've never felt anything this strong, and yet I do everything I can to hide it. I would be willing to do anything for you, even wait a decade before admitting it. We are rivals. On the ice, there is only competition, pressure, reputation. But off the ice, there is you. And this secret that could destroy everything. Disclaimer: explicit scenes. Story inspired by the series Heated Rivalry. I wrote the series the way I would like to read it P.S.: I have never read the books, so I do not know all the events. Thank you for being kind 💜

these two have utterly consumed my brain, so i had to write about these two. if i make any mistakes please please correct me!! id also love some requests hehe 🙈

Shane Hollander and Ilya Rosanov: Two hockeyplayers- to the outside world known as rivals, in private- closeted lovers.

Shane invites Ilya to his lakeside cottage for two quiet weeks in the off-season. It's supposed to be uncomplicated. No teams, no press, no pretending. Instead, it turns into slow mornings, shared meals, negotiated control, and the kind of closeness that's a lot harder to walk away from than either of them expected.
