The climax was explosive and devastating and transcendent, and Dimitri cried out because the pleasure was too much to contain.
They lay tangled together, breathless and spent, and Dimitri rested his head on Nikolai's chest because he needed to hear his heartbeat, needed to feel that he was real.

Nikolai pressed a kiss to his forehead. "I know."
"I hate the way he looked at you, and I hate the way he touched you, and I hate that he has memories of you that I don't share."
"He doesn't matter." Nikolai's voice was firm. "He never has because he was a distraction and a ghost from a life I left behind. You're the only one who matters."
