I love to read the Boston Tuna hookup from Shane's perspective, it's one of the best scenes of the book, but damn I need to have the Ilya version because WHAT THE FUCK was going through that man's mind?
Doesn't talk to Shane when he first arrives until they're both in the bedroom, still no hi
Asks him to be on top because he wants to "look at him"
Calls him "Sweetheart" as he comes
Initiates uncharacteristic cuddles complete with "adoring" face kisses (words by shane, who is getting freaked out, understandably)
Asks him to stay the night
Asks him to stay the night?
Stocks his drink of choice (that hasn't been mentioned in the whole book and shane thinks its fucking weird he knows what his beer replacement is? Understandably again)
Cooks for him (shane is thinking delivery, Ilya says no I'll make sandwiches)
Gets weird about Shane drinking the ginger ale
Starts to prod shane about him liking women
Actually just starts a really weird convo with him? Like guys, it's even weirder in the book
(I'm skipping the whole call from Grigory thing bc that's not something that Ilya did)
They keep watching hockey in silence and Ilya basically puts Shane in a spooning position in the couch for a cuddle and playing with his hair before initiating more sex
Blurts out his name as he comes
After shane backtracks he does this weird little "no this is nothing hollander but also you forgetting a team meet give me a more convincing lie" while basically asking daring him to stay with his eyes
I just can't picture what the plan was, what he was thinking he would achieve with this, I need to read Ilyas pov from this.
