As a retired whore, I’ve been with many a fuckboy in my time.

Ilya? Not a fuckboy.

A fuckboy doesn’t care about treating you right or making you cum, or making it clear that it’s just a hookup, which is what Ilya does with the women he sleeps with. Neither him nor Shane treat their hookups with disrespect.

With Shane, his behaviour may be contradictory and confusing from Shane’s perspective, but it’s not coming from a place of disinterest or malice. We know that it’s coming from a place of fear- fear of discovery, fear of attachment, fear of love and what it would mean.

So yeah, in my personal subjective opinion, he’s not a fuckboy. He just enjoys sex, and that’s morally neutral.

That’s because he’s not a fuckboy, he’s a rake!

A romance novel rake is not a bad guy, he’s not a cad, he’s just a guy who loves fun and partying and FUCKING, and he’s very good at it. He takes pride in being good at sex, in pleasing his partners. Often in the beginning of the book he has many sexual partners and no interest in monogamy. And also often his love interest is a straitlaced virginal bluestocking (that’s Shane if you’re keeping track).

The rake will keep seeing his many partners and having (very good) sex with them until one day he finds, to his horror, that he doesn’t WANT to have sex with anybody else. He wants to change! He wants a committed relationship with one person! And when the rake falls in love (or admits to himself that he has fallen), he is ALL. FUCKING. IN. Maybe deep down he played this part because he thought some part of him was fundamentally unlovable, that nobody would want to commit to him anyway so he’ll just avoid that whole messy feelings bit but then BOOM here comes the doe-eyed sincerity of the ingenue with a steel chair!

Shane said “I don’t want to pretend I don’t like you anymore,” and suddenly Mr. Womanizer isn’t interested in sex with anybody else! Shane says “I am making a plan to keep you in my life,” and suddenly Mr. Cool and Composed is making teary eyed love confessions in TWO (2) languages!

God I fucking love it when a rake falls in love, it’s just so good.

Shane loves his personal space. Ilya also loves Shane's personal space.

They move in together full time and Ilya notices that Anya acts differently with Shane than she does with him, more quiet and less playful, and he worries that means she doesn’t like Shane or is jealous, so he hires a dog trainer to come over and see if there’s anything they need to do to help

After a while of talking about how Anya acts the trainer says there’s nothing to worry about, Anya likes Shane just fine, it’s just that she sees him as the boss and is acting accordingly

And Ilya is like. But. I’m the one who adopted her? And raised her before Shane got here?? And the trainer is just like yeah well she sees you more like an equal. And Ilya is like WAIT she thinks Shane is in charge of both of us?? And the trainer is just like well do you interact in a way that would make her think that?

Ilya’s life flashes before his eyes as he thinks of all the times Shane has come over with a snack for Ilya and a treat for Anya, or all the times Shane has announced they’re all going for an after dinner walk, or pets Ilya’s hair and tells him he did a good job at practice, or the fact that he uses the same warning tone with Anya when she misbehaves as he does with Ilya when he’s causing problems on purpose

Shane comes home to Ilya with his face in his hands going oh god I’m not Anya’s dad I’m her brother and she thinks we’re both your pets. And Shane just goes. What.
