I love that we got to read both of their pov of the vegas scene, especially now that the series brought the visuals in and we get to watch Ilya trying his hardest to hold all his feelings in, while Shane wears them on display even without meaning to.
They were both already so far
gone.

okay but the fact that ilya was so fucking considerate of the fact that this was shane’s first time blowing a guy and that swallowing might overwhelm him so he made sure to pull shane off before he came??? like what if I cry???

“He didn’t want to leave the bed, because when he did, this would be over. Hollander wouldn’t be smiling at him, gorgeous and spent. He’d get dressed, he’d leave. Ilya would be alone.
He let himself look at Hollander, trying to memorize every detail of that moment. He wanted to kiss him.”
PLEASE 😭

“‘Please.’
It was barely a whisper, but Hollander’s single word rocketed through Ilya. He managed to maintain his cool exterior, but barely. Instead of giving in to what they both wanted, Ilya pushed further.”

idk I think if shane sending this to ilya with the caption “come to the cottage” it would’ve worked 🤷🏻♀️

idk if I’m just too emo but this scene made me so sad for scott ☹️ I know throughout the episodes it’s made to seem like scott maybe clocked them, but shane’s immediate reaction to “your boy” was probably such a visceral reminder that nothing has changed even w/ the rookies. it’s never a safe space.

Thinking about the next HR ep and I can’t wait to see how they’ve chosen to highlight Scott and Skip’s story, especially considering where ep. 2 ends. Like are they gonna center the 1st half on Hollanov to show progression of time? Or will they stretch out Skip’s timeline? Where are we leaving them?

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about what a perfect adaptation Heated Rivalry is. I was oftentimes overcome with emotion by the fact that it felt like I was genuinely stepping INTO the book. Absolutely mesmerizing, all of it!!

the only spoiler (?) I will say is, I’m just truly so glad this scene wasn’t at all what some of us feared it would be when we first saw these.
