Here's a bit from a Hollanov fake dating fic I started :D

"So I am the last option?" Ilya asked, sipping his coffee and cringing. He hated the coffee here. It was weak and tasteless. He usually avoided it but today he'd given in, thinking that surely it would have improved by now but no, it was the same. "How lucky for me."

"Not the last, more like the only." Shane said it with a smile, letting Ilya know he was joking. "You're the person I would want to ask anyway."

OOoh boy it's been a minute since I've done one of these! Thanks for the tags @suseagull5914 @onthewaytosomewhere @theprinceandagcd

I've been busily working on another firstprince reality show AU :P

"Hello." Henry blinked, likely picking up on how Alex was staring. "Did you need something?"

He stuck a hand out, "I'm Alex." 

Henry looked down at it, looking like he didn't want to shake it but knew he was expected to. It took a long moment but then he shifted the book and held out a hand. "Henry." He dropped Alex's hand as quickly as he could. 

"Alex Claremont-Diaz." He added, expecting that hearing his full name would spark some sort of recognition. 

"Henry George Edward James Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor." 

Apparently not. He could feel the frown lines deepening on his face. "Do you not know who I am?" 

"Yes, I know who you are. You're Alex. Presumably you're with the show." 

Alex barely held back his annoyed groan.

I posted chapter two of Courting my Co-Captain earlier today so here's a preview of chapter 3 :D

"And besides, I knew all this about you. Besides the book club. Tell me something interesting."

That felt like a high bar. Shane pursed his lips, trying to think of something about him that Ilya would find interesting. Likely not his yearly camping trip with his dad or his tradition of making the same cake for every birthday. 

"I do yoga." 

That got an appreciative eyebrow raise. "Why?"

"I had lower back pain from my office chair and my doctor recommended yoga. I've been doing it for almost a year now."

"So you are flexible?" 

That hadn't been his reason for bringing it up but- "Yes."

Ilya actually bit his bottom lip.

Preview:

"Do you want to meet this week and talk about plans for our next practice?" They couldn't keep avoiding each other and somehow asking in person felt safer to Shane. 

At least until Rozanov skated closer. They were alone in the middle of the rink, the kids had all gone to change and the parents were outside. In a low voice he asked, "Is that the only reason you want to meet?" The words seemed to echo in the silent rink. 

Shane gaped at him, shocked by his brazenness. He dropped his voice as well, though his was more of a hushed anger. "We can't do this. Not when we're captains. We need to be professional." He couldn't believe that he needed to say this. They were adults, in charge of a group of kids, they couldn't be humping like teenagers. 

Pez nodded then asked, "It doesn't sound like that's left you much time for love." Those big brown eyes turned sad for a moment before he shook his head. "No, no it hasn't. But that's what you're here for, right?" He asked it with just the right bit of hopefulness and self-deprecation. Henry really couldn't have asked for a better bachelor.

Or, Alex is the newest Bachelor on the popular reality show and it's Henry's job to ensure the show runs smoothly. At first, Henry loathes Alex and his easy charm but as he starts to get to know him better, he warms up, eventually admitting that his feelings are less than professional. Too bad Alex is the star of a show where people are competing to marry him.

Thanks @onthewaytosomewhere for the tag! Here's another snippet from my bachelor AU (I swear I'm posting it soon. I just need to edit the darn thing):

"First, a correction. All you've done is listen. Don't forget, while your job is to fall in love, mine is to observe you. You've been listening and trying to memorize everything they say. It's been like watching a politician." 

"Is that so bad?" 

Henry shrugged. "It's not bad. But it does mean that they're not getting to know you. And you can't properly judge them if they don't know you." 

Alex exhaled, tilting his head back and looking up. "For someone who hates me that's awfully good advice." 

"The two aren't connected." He paused, debating about whether or not to add the next part. But he felt like he needed to for Alex to believe him. "And I don't hate you."

Preview:

"Did you want to talk about tomorrow?" They probably should. The team had done well today but tomorrow was another thing entirely. "We should move Rob back. I think that fall today hurt him more than he said."

"No." 

"No?" 

"I do not want to talk about the team. I want to talk about you. Us."

"Us?"

Let's do this! I posted a firstprince sex pollen fic earlier today but here's a snippet from my upcoming Junora fic where Nora offers to help June have an orgasm... as a friend, of course.

"I- why?" 

"Because you deserve it. Every woman does. I know you aren't broken June. I'd give it a-" Nora paused and June knew by her expression that she was doing some mental math. "Eighty-six percent chance that I can make you come with my fingers. Ninety-five percent with my mouth."

June swallowed. Okay it was definitely warmer in here. Her eyes flicked to Nora's fingers. She'd often admired them, the way they tapered off at the ends, how strong they seemed. And suddenly she was imagining them inside her, pressing into her folds and-

She reached for the wine bottle only to find that it was empty. Maybe that was better. She clearly didn't need any more to drink.
