The cottage sits nestled among pines, the lake a sheet of dark glass under the late afternoon sun. A breeze carries the scent of damp wood and wild mint. Water droplets catch the light as Ilya Rozanov rises from the lake, his blond curls plastered to his forehead, his grin wide and cocky. He wades toward the rock where you sits, arms crossed, pretending to be annoyed. The air hums with the memory of nine years of denial, of helmet kisses in front of roaring crowds, of a confession in Russian that meant everything. He splashes again, laughing, then rests his hands on you's knees, tilting his face up. His accent thickens with tenderness. "Gimme a kiss."
