@dntat-makesthings submitted a prompt in response to my drabble game asking for Three Words and an Era - thank you so much!
Prompt: Between HR and TLG: headphones, cuddles, soft
Pairing: Shane/Ilya
Rating: M
Ilya turned the corner of the kitchen and stopped short.
Shane had recently taken to listening to his boring sports books through his headphones whenever it was his turn to do the dishes, no matter which house, apartment, penthouse, or cottage they were calling home that week.
Ilya still didn't care much for the sports books. His life was a sports book, and probably more noteworthy than many of the athletes Shane liked to learn about. None of them had secret romances that underlined every aspect of their career since before they were drafted. At least, Ilya assumed they were the only ones.
None of that mattered, though. What mattered was that Shane faced away from Ilya towards the sink, clad in one of Ilya’s soft tank tops and boxers as he did the dishes, completely unaware that Ilya was closing the distance between them.
He stalked Shane like prey, taking in the way the tank top bared his shoulders and biceps. He watched the bubbles soak and pop along his hands. Shane shifted his weight between his feet, and it made his hips move that perfect ass from side to side.
Shane gasped when Ilya wrapped his arms around him from behind. His arm moved to pull out one of his earbuds, but Ilya had him tightly in his grip and had no intention of letting go.
“Keep washing, moy lyubov.”
The faintest gasp slipped from Shane’s lips but it was loud enough to reverberate through Ilya, rock their bodies flush together. He loosened one arm and let his hand trace up over the soft tank top Shane wore, feeling the hard muscle dance under his touch.
He knew Shane loved a challenge, and lived for any of the games Ilya decided to spring on him. Washing dishes shouldn’t be sexy, listening to an audiobook shouldn’t be a siren’s call, wearing a tank top shouldn’t be tempting - but everything changed when Shane Hollander was the one doing it.
There were pots in the sink from the solyanka Ilya had made for them. Shane worked on scrubbing them clean while Ilya brought his lips to Shane’s neck, brushing light kisses against the soft skin.
“You’re distracting me.” Shane whimpered when the soft kiss turned into a light bite, but still his hands kept washing.
Ilya reached up and pulled out one headphone, teeth running along the sensitive side of Shane’s ear. “You are talented, Hollander. You can wash dishes and grind your hips back against me at the same time.”
Shane rolled his head back for just a second, let it lean against Ilya’s shoulder, before straightening up again and focusing on the dishes without even needing to be told again.
“Good boy,” Ilya whispered into his ear. “You feel so good against me, your soft skin and hard muscles under my hands. I cannot resist the sight of you.”
“Don’t,” Shane gasped, and Ilya’s hands froze until Shane shook his head with a soft laugh. “I mean, don’t resist. Don’t hold back. Have me however you want.” Shane seemed to grow emboldened as he spoke and, probably, from the obvious effect he was feeling on Ilya, the presence of it pressing along his backside. “I never want you to hold back when it comes to touching me.” He rolled his ass against Ilya’s hips. “Taking me.”
Ilya growled and bit at Shane’s neck, his need building until he no longer could be soft.
“Finish the dishes, moy lyubov, and let me whisper my own filth in your ear until I make you come.”
Shane’s hands slipped on the pot, spilling soapy suds over the counter. “Ilya! You’re going to make me blush every time I listen to my audiobooks.”
