“Of course.”

“How did I not see you plant it?”

“Because you were too distracted by how I spread my legs and by my suggestion that we should fuck. Which was of course exactly why I did it.”

Suspicion swirls through me, and I narrow my eyes at her. “You didn’t come here because you wanted me to fuck you? You came to plant the bug.”

“Precisely.”

Grinding my hips against hers again, I shoot her a pointed stare. “Admit it. Even though it was a secondary goal, you were hoping that I would fuck you too.”

She just looks up at me with fake innocence.

I roll my hips again.

She yanks against my grip on her wrists and squirms underneath me before finally admitting, “Alright, yes.”

A laugh escapes my lungs. Releasing her, I roll back over and drop down on the mattress next to her again. “God, you’re even more ruthless than I gave you credit for.”

She lets out a smug chuckle and snuggles closer to me again. “Thank you.”

For a while, we just stay like that. Lying there in my bed with my now messy black sheets around us, holding each other and savoring the moment. Alina rests her hand on my chest, and after a while, she starts tracing small circles on it.

“How are we going to keep this a secret?” she asks quietly.

Lifting my head, I meet her gaze and arch an eyebrow. “Who says we are?”

She rolls her eyes and pushes herself up on her elbows so that she can look at me head on. There is a serious expression on her face now. “You’re a Hunter.”

“And you’re a Petrov.”

“Exactly.”

I just raise my eyebrows again in silent question.

She sighs and squirms slightly, looking miserable. “We’re enemies. We’re not supposed to be together.”

“According to who?”

“To everyone. To the rules of… well, everything.”

“Fuck the rules.”

She blinks at me.

Holding her gaze, I repeat, “Fuck the rules. You’re mine now. So people can either get onboard or get the fuck out.”

Light floods her eyes, and she draws in a shuddering breath, as if she’s happy that I don’t want to keep her, keep us, a secret. As if I would ever keep Alina a dirty little secret. Fuck no. She will be standing proudly in the light. Right next to me.

With a smile quickly spreading across her lips, she nods and echoes, “Fuck the rules.”

“That’s right.” I kiss her forehead and then sit up, climbing off the bed. “In fact, let’s make it official right now.”

“Now?” she squeaks.

She scrambles after me, getting caught in the tangled sheets while I stride over to the dresser and pull out some fresh clothes.

“Now?” she repeats once she has finally gotten out of bed. “What do you mean, now?”
