Summary:

“Why are you smiling?” Shane asks him. “I met your parents,” Ilya answers. He’s definitely not going to be able to explain this one. “I know it was weird—” “Shut up,” Ilya says. “I loved it.” The look Shane gives him says Ilya in no way made it clear, but since it’s only half clear to him, too, he decides to kiss Shane instead. A slow, lingering thing. Just as sweet, but with the heat of a promise behind it. Shane slips his tongue into Ilya’s mouth, and it lights a fire beneath his ribs. After meeting Shane's parents, Ilya and Shane return to the cottage.
