    Summary

    “Were you thinking of this?” Ilya growled, tightening his grip. “On the ice?”

    “Yes,” Shane panted, unable to play it cool. “Yes. I wanted to get on my knees for you right there in front of everyone after your last goal.”

    Or: After Ilya scores a hat trick against the Montreal Voyageurs, Shane is determined to give him a reward.

    Summary

    Shane squirmed under him, and Ilya thought he heard a whimper as he involuntarily ground up against him. “C-Come on…” His voice was weak and pathetic, and Ilya could tell by the incessant throbbing against his thigh that he was doing something right. “Please…?”

    Most nights that would work. Not tonight.

     

    Or: Shane calls Ilya impatient. Ilya teaches him how it feels.

    Summary

    Shane wasn't looking back at him. He assumed that Ilya would be paying attention to the game, not its spectators. Sofia was sat upright in his lap. He was moving her back and forth to follow the puck. Ilya could see his mouth moving, even at this distance- no doubt he was explaining the rules to her infant ears. Hockey would be her first language.

    Sofia was more interested in the person holding her than the game. She tipped her little head back, back, back until she was looking up at her dad. The two of them smiled, and then Shane leaned down ever so slightly.

    He was brushing their noses together in the softest little nuzzle Ilya had ever seen. When he was done, Shane pressed a kiss onto her forehead.

    At twenty-three, Shane Hollander was convinced that life after hockey would be empty. He couldn't imagine a world where he'd be completely happy without the focus and drive that came with playing a professional sport.

    By thirty-seven, Shane was convinced that life after hockey was better. Who needed skates and sticks when your daughter was looking up at you with such a perfect, tiny smile, and your husband was winning games for all three of you?
