“What do people do on dates?” I ask, watching him lick jam off his thumb. “Like, what do we even talk about?”

“Danya, I’ve never really done this properly either. This is my first real date too.” He raises an eyebrow at me. “I always ditched everyone as soon as I could to come home to you. I think we’re supposed to get to know each other or something.”

“We know everything about each other. I’ve known you since I was two.”

He shrugs, grinning. “Then tell me something you think I don’t know.”

I narrow my eyes at him, considering. “I want you inside me, and then I want you to fuck me with a dildo at the same time.”

He chokes on his food, coughing and sputtering as he stares at me with his mouth hanging open. He snaps it shut, clears his throat roughly. “I did not know that was something you wanted.” His hand drops to adjust himself, his pupils dilating. “We can do that. Change of plans, we’re skipping the jacuzzi.”

“I’m holding out for our date tonight,” I say, fighting a smile. “So we can do that some other time.”

He curses under his breath and rolls onto his back, running both hands over his buzzcut.

I crawl over him, straddling his hips as I look down at him. He stares up at me and suddenly his eyes turn sad, something breaking open in his expression. He clears his throat. “I’m sorry that you had to see that. That you had to find me like that.”

“Mikhail, I already told you that you don’t need to apologize for anything. I’m here for you, okay? Forever, no matter what.”

He nods, his jaw tight, and I press myself against his body like a weighted blanket. My full weight settles over him, and his arms come up immediately, holding me tight. “Tell me something you think I don’t know about you,” I murmur against him, breathing him in.

“I actually hate jacuzzis, and I only wanted this apartment because it annoyed you so much.”

I pull back to stare at him. “Seriously?”

His grin returns. “I love getting reactions from you. You get all pissy, and it’s adorable.”

“We should just stay here all night and listen to music instead. Smoke and forget about the stupid jacuzzi.”

“Mm. Sounds perfect.”

I press myself further into him and hug him so tight I’m sure it’s hurting, but I don’t care. I need him to feel how much I need him here with me.

He grips me roughly and pulls me all the way up until our mouths crash together. His tongue pushes past my lips, and I open for him immediately, thrusting back and savoring his taste. Smoke and sweetness from the jam, familiar and mine.

His hands run up my back, fingers digging into my shoulder blades as he holds me against him. My hard cock rubs against his through our jeans, and we breathe heavily into the kiss, the friction building heat between us. I roll my hips down, and he groans into my mouth, the sound vibrating through me.

His teeth catch my bottom lip and tug, making me gasp. He takes advantage immediately, his tongue sliding deeper as one hand tangles in my hair and the other grips my hip, guiding my movements against him. The pressure is perfect and not enough at the same time, making me desperate for more.

I break away just enough to breathe, our foreheads pressed together as we pant against each other’s mouths. His eyes are dark, pupils blown wide, and his grip on me tightens like he’s afraid I’ll pull away. I won’t. I couldn’t if I tried.

“Do you remember the day we were allowed to put a tent in our backyard so we could sleep there for the night?” I ask.

He tilts his head, thinking back. “I remember. It took a week to convince Mother to let us, and even then, she almost didn’t allow it. What were we, nine and ten?”

“Yeah. And then I got so scared that I almost backed out because Yulian told me there would be wolves that would come and eat us.”

He huffs a laugh. “He was just being an ass. We had guards posted all around the property.”

“I know, but I was still terrified. I couldn’t sleep the entire night, so when you finally fell asleep, I crawled over to you and woke you up to tell you how scared I was. You wrapped your arms around me and held me until morning.”

His hand comes up to brush the hair from my eyes. “I wasn’t actually asleep. I was terrified too, couldn’t fall asleep at all. When you finally came over, I was so glad I didn’t have to admit it first.”

“Wait, you were awake the whole time?”

“Yes, because fucking Alexei told me there were also bears out there.”

I crack up. “They’re such assholes.”
