    Summary

    Arlo watches Rozanov catch the small gesture their boss gives him and grab the black coat off his shoulders, draping it over one arm with his black leather gloved hands. It freaks Arlo out a little, the wordless communication that Boss has with his bodyguard. The way they move like a single being, with Hollander always a step ahead but never more than that step far. Rozanov walks if Boss walks, like there’s an invisible leash latched to some collar that only Hollander can tug at.

    It must be so humiliating, he thinks just as Boss climbs the long flare of stairs that lead to the main entrance and Rozanov follows behind him like an obedient dog. He wonders if he burns with the shame of subduing himself like that. Of reducing his entire existence to a single man out of obligation.

    Or, italian mafia boss shane hollander and his guard dog through the eyes of an employee. and then through shane's own eyes.

    Summary

    There was nothing standard about Shane and Ilya's relationship, so it really shouldn't have been so surprising that they had their first date over a decade after meeting each other.

    It also shouldn't be surprising that it took roughly five minutes before it turned into a competition.

    Summary

    Men and women are dancing, together or apart. Bodies are moving like waves, pulling his gaze forward, just like the current would draw him to the middle of the ocean. And it doesn't take long for Ilya to drown. Not when his eyes land on Rose Landry, smiling brightly at the man beside her.

    She has her arms around his shoulders, and she's leaning up to whisper something in his ear. They move to the music, but not quite.

    The music may have stopped.

    Or maybe Ilya's heart has stopped beating.

    Because all he can see is the back of the man, and all he can hear are the waves calling to him. In the middle of the crowded, living blur of strobe lights and glued bodies, Ilya's eyes have settled on Shane Hollander.

    Or: Ilya follows Shane as he leaves the club.

    Summary

    "Panic attack," Shane corrected.
    "Yes, that. So." He tapped the bottom of the can. "Cold. And sugar. And," he squeezed, tight but not sudden, "this. Pressure. Warm."

    In which Shane panics just a little harder, post tuna melts. Ilya responds well to panic.
