Summary
London, 1887. Shane Hollander has arrived in England as the first Korean ambassador to take formal residence in the capital, carrying impeccable French, a diplomat's iron composure, and a private ledger of debts he intends to collect from a city that has already decided what it thinks of him.
He meets the Earl of Vashenkov at Lady Ashworth's autumn ball. The Earl has old eyes. He has been patient since before the empire Shane represents had a name. He has been waiting, specifically, for something like this.
Shane notices everything. He notices the cold. He notices that he keeps going back.
A gothic romance concerning hunger of more than one variety, the specific cruelty of being known completely by the wrong person, and what it means to choose, with full information and open eyes, to stay. -

Summary
"Ilya knows, logistically, that fucking his roomate is a terrible idea. Right up there with poking a bear, or calling his brother just to say hello, or sticking a fork in an electrical socket.
The first time was an accident.
The second and third (and fourth) times were all, also, most definitely accidents."

Summary
Ilya used to not miss anything when he returned to Moscow during the off-season. He was standing in a convenience store, some July day in 2015, flipping through the newsstand, when it hit him that he didn’t particularly care about anything going on there. He was counting down the days before he could get on his flight back to Boston, as if there was anything there to greet him on his return. Maybe it wasn’t Boston he was missing. The realization is not welcome.
“Do you think you will stay in Boston?” Shane asks, stroking Ilya’s upper arm. His touch is soft. Ilya wants it endlessly.

Svetlana knows about Jane. It's frankly insulting for Ilyusha to think otherwise.
She just never expected to have to call him for help. During the Olympics. In Russia. In the dead of night.

Or, it's Sochi 2014 and Russia has lost to Latvia. Grigori Rozanov, not yet compromised by illness, punishes his son for shaming the family. When Svetlana finds an injured and emotionally fragile Ilya, she knows she needs somewhere safe for him to recover. And there's only one person in Russia who Sveta trusts with her Ilyusha: Canada's Golden Boy, Shane Hollander.Series

Summary
Shane finds himself nodding, says “I know” before he can think further about it because Shane has never been good at reading people, and he wonders in that moment if Ilya is afflicted the same by this, the way they fuck.
Afflicted by the questions that they never let out-
How the fuck does it feel this fucking good?
How does it feel this fucking good every time?
Why is it you who does this to me?
The worst one of all, Shane thinks, this is why I can’t stop doing it. It’s too fucking good.
***
Somewhere in 2014-16, one of the times they fuck that we didn't see in the montage.
