    Summary

    He’s still drunk—that much is clear when he smiles crookedly at Eddie, watching him from beneath his lashes.

    Eddie turns his face up from his phone and the neon lights paint his face in greens and blues, those dark eyes of his catching reflections in a way that makes them look almost ethereal. 

    Buck wants to— he wants to—

    His fingers tense against the brick at his back.

    Oh, it doesn’t matter.

    None of it really matters, because Eddie smiles at him. It dimples his cheeks and turns his eyes into half-moons. Buck’s own mouth lifts in a helpless mirror of it, joy blooming in his chest.

    Eddie closes the distance between them in a few casual strides, one hand hooked in his pocket and the other holding his phone to track their Uber. He stops just short of Buck’s feet. It’s not close enough, but at least Buck can feel the heat of him now.

    Summary

    “This will not be easy,” Ilya warned, absently touching Shane’s freckles as he always did when he was particularly stressed. “My brother didn’t name me as a guardian, and Russia will not be too happy to give one of their citizens over to someone who famously married another man.” He let his head fall back against the headboard. “And the media will be insufferable.”

    Shane nodded. Yes, this entire situation would be a fight…and, even if they won, this little girl may not be pleased to go with them.

    “And if she stays with Polina?” he asked cautiously. “What would that mean for her?”

    Ilya wrinkled his nose. “Nothing good,” he finally admitted.

    Or

    When Shane and Ilya pictured kids they did not necessarily imagine fighting all of Russia to get custody of Ilya’s recently orphaned niece, who is traumatized, prickly, and raised by the laws of her country. Alas, neither Ilya nor Shane could be accused of doing things the easy way.
