Summary:

Author’s Summary:
“Don’t–” Ilya starts, already reaching, already cupping Shane’s face between both hands, thumbs warm and tender against his cheekbones like they’ve always belonged there.

Shane’s eyes are big and gorgeous and genuinely curious. “Don’t what?”

Don’t make me look like a lovesick idiot. Don’t make my heart trip over itself for a way out of my chest and into yours. Don’t say it like that—so fucking sincere—like you don’t know how devastating it is for me.

“Don’t butcher my language,” he says instead and kisses Shane’s smile hard, like reflex, like gravity, like there was never going to be another option.

-

Shane sets out to learn Russian. Ilya discovers he's incapable of keeping his composure.

Notes:

Reader’s Notes:
I have tried to Google as well as research the Russian words’ pronunciations to the best of my abilities. However, if I have miserably failed to do them correctly, then my humble apologies for being unable to do so.

Also, the birds around my house seemed to be in a full-on (Rio style) partying mood, so occasionally you might get to hear them in the background. One of my listeners generously once said it was like me reading aloud a story during an afternoon tea party with friends in the comfort of my backyard. Well... it could be considered that by ignoring the wee little bit of out-of-tune party poopers being a slight menace 😆😄😁

(See the end of the work for more notes.)
