Summary
But before Ilya can begin to parse his reply into English, Shane bites his lip and adds, “Unless,” and Ilya’s stomach drops out from him. “I know you said you hadn’t been with anyone else since Tampa but…” he bites his lip. There’s something so tense and sad lingering around Shane’s eyes as he keeps his face turned away from Ilya. “If – if you did, miss sleeping with women, and you –” he swallows thickly, looking like the words are causing him physical pain. “If you – if you wanted to, in Boston when we’re apart…” Ilya doesn’t miss the way Shane’s hands shake slightly as he rubs across the back of his neck. “We don’t have to be exclusive.”
or: Shane opens up about his insecurities and Ilya does what Ilya does best to help ease them.
