Once Ilya and Shane are married, there is nothing sexier to Shane than Ilya's wedding ring. Every time he sees Ilya lying naked next to him, still wearing it, he feels absolutely feral. Ilya keeps it on 24/7, even to sleep.
He groans aloud every time he has to take it off for hockey, and even then, he wears it around his neck because he'll be damned if that thing gets lost. After years of situationship messiness and Ilya's reputation as a ladies' man, it drives Shane up the fucking wall knowing Ilya loves the constant physical reminder that he belongs to Shane and no one else.
The best part is, Ilya feels the same way when he sees Shane. This unattainable, widely lusted-after man who could have anyone he wants has chosen him, and after years of secrecy and hiding, he wants the world to know he belongs to Ilya. Monogamy is their kink.
