“he wanted to kiss him, but he couldn’t stop looking at him.” 😭😭 ilya is THE lover boy of all time

“without warning, ilya moved his hand until it was right next to shane’s, and then he hooked their thumbs together. shane’s first instinct was to pull away, but he resisted. instead he closed his eyes, and tried not to hope for impossible things. he also resisted the urge to rest his head on ilya’s shoulder.” 😭😭😭😭

if you only read the bathroom scene you would have no idea the emotional impact or the full tension of it. so once again, thank you jacob tierney!!!! my god he really took every scene and elevated it 100x

jacob’s decision to have their first time after the vegas rooftop instead was so smart. and also the way he takes the dialogue and makes it even better.. 🤌🏼

“he loved slamming him into the boards” oh we know 😏

“curious?”
“yes, curious. and you make me curious.”
“do i make you curious?”

thank you rachel reid for this. i owe you my life.
