   Summary

   “Now everyone will know,” Nikolai says against her lips.

   Zoya flattens her hand on his head and shoves it sideways. “Shut up.”

   The slow grin on Nikolai’s face is too irritating to look at. “I fear you will have to kiss me again,” he says.

   They hear the footsteps in the hallway a second before the knock.

   For the last several years, Zoya has been widely assumed to be Nikolai Lantsov’s lover. Now that she actually can be, every force in existence seems to have resolved to stop her.
