Her low voice slips through my ear, followed by a slow hum. Then Sasha does something I would’ve never expected. She starts singing in a soft, melodic voice. The Russian lullaby mothers sing to their children filters through my ears and reaches a place I didn’t know existed inside me. Her voice resembles a warm breeze on a freezing winter night. The strange pull calls for me like some enchanted instrument that’s snatching my physical being from the real world and transporting it to a mythical dimension. Then, all of a sudden, the voic...

Is this some sort of a fucking joke? I only closed my eyes for a minute. I look at my watch and, sure enough, about two hours have passed. Fuck me. I fell asleep around her. Again. I didn’t feel any-fucking-thing going on around me. Again. Someone could’ve shot me during that time and I would have been none the wiser. She could’ve shot me, but she looks more proud about managing to put me to sleep with her sof...

I feel like a woman in his arms. I feel beautiful and wanted and…right. It’s weird, but it’s right.
I don’t look at him, because that will make me want to hug him or kiss him, and we’re simply not in that type of relationship. A strong hand grips my wrist, wrenching me back, and I gasp as I turn and face him. A shadow covers his face, and a weird expression I’ve never seen before takes over his sharp features. It’s a mixture of pain and rage, accentuated by the deathly hold on my wrist.
“What?”
I ask in a small voice, scared of speaki...

I whisper. He pulls me over so that I’m half lying on his lap, removes his glasses, and kisses me. No. He doesn’t only kiss me. He devours me, his tongue feasting on mine and his teeth nibbling and biting. He shows me instead of telling me that all my dark thoughts during the previous three days are null and void. It’s not that he’s lost his desire for me or that he doesn’t want to touch me anymore. Because it’s still there. I can feel his desperation that mirrors mine, and I can tell, without a doubt, that he probably wants me as much as I want him. He kisses me with a fervent passion that

he asks this time, softly, pleadingly even. And I melt. Every fiber in me breaks, willingly offering itself to this monster. My monster. I want to nod, to agree to his plea. I want to throw away that other part of my life and just remain here. In his arms. I want to keep looking at his icy eyes and fantasize about softening them one day. But I can’t. Because this isn’t only about me. This is about my family. With...

I can’t stop thinking about Kirill’s expression when I refused to stay after he asked me for the third time. Also…that kiss. It makes my head swim just thinking about it.
I trail off as the rider of the snowmobile comes into view. My heart drops. My legs shake, and the world starts spinning. I would recognize that build anywhere. In a crowd. Or even in snow clothes.
