    Because Rozanov craved being in charge as much as Shane craved letting it all go, but neither of them could resist each other for long. That’s why they were both here, in this hotel room, in a state that didn’t even have a hockey team anymore, but some bullshit legal loophole the NHL had forgotten about meant the All-Star Game had to happen here this year. And hadn’t that made for bizarre advertising tactics.

    Three years isn't that long, really. It's long enough to get a Master's Degree in Art History. Long enough to build the foundations of a relationship that could last the rest of their lives. Long enough for a professional hockey player to figure out how to tell the world he's gay.

    What happened between episode 3 and episode 5, with our sweet boys and all the people who helped them get there.

    But Hayden had laughed, made a crack about being Shane’s excuse to go back to the room, and led the way down to the crowd that was headed out to celebrate their victory. Even though Hayden made it through about two beers before he started laying his head down on the table between rounds.

    So maybe it wasn’t so surprising that his drunk, exhausted, possibly sick friend had reached the point of mental overwhelm where holding someone’s hand became instinct.

    Stepping off the elevator, Eric turned left. Hands in his pocket, his walk the easy saunter of a man who is sure which room he’s staying in.

    “Aren’t you that way?” Scotty was standing in front of the elevator, pointing to the right. Which was fair, because Eric’s room was indeed at that end of the hall.

    “Nope,” Eric said and kept walking.

    And Kyle could lean forward right now, take Eric’s chin in his hand, kiss him slow and messy before ordering him to do…anything Kyle wanted him to. But there was something lazy and warm curled in Kyle’s belly, and right now the image of a strong, kind, older man leaning over him was doing all kinds of things to his blood, and Kyle didn’t feel the need to be in control of what happened next.

    He just needed Eric to make it happen.

    Scott rolled back into Kip’s chest, one eye open as he squinted up at his delighted husband. Because Kip was Scott’s husband. And this was their honeymoon. “You’re happy about this, aren’t you?”

    “Being serenaded by sheep?” Kip asked, as a chorus of cries went up this time. He rested his chin on Scott’s shoulder. “It’s definitely not something that we can get back home.”
