Summary
Ilya would’ve sooner believed in divine intervention than in becoming one of those pathetic, obsessive people whose brain short-circuited over someone they wanted to fuck.
Especially not someone he’d barely managed more than a handful of charged minutes with at a time.
Especially not when that someone hated him.
90% of the time, anyways.
And the other 10%?
Well … Ilya was usually right about these kinds of things, and he had eyes, so he was pretty confident Hollander wanted the same thing.
But Hollander was really committed to this whole pretending-nothing-happened bit.
And Ilya was equally committed to tearing it apart.
