    Summary

    A rather large heron waded in the water, its backside mottled in tiger-stripes, tapering at a black head. The bird’s beak struck the water with natural, violent efficiency, its yolk-yellow throat elongated as it gobbled down minnows.

    The ladies whispered amongst themselves, scrambling for their iPhones stuffed inside their pockets. Shane, meanwhile, had gone to stand behind the cover of a leafy green plant, positioned perfectly so as not to spook the bird, with a perfect window for a gorgeous photograph.

    “That’s a good camera,” the guide commented, watching Shane with the admiring eye of a fellow birder.

    Ilya was preening. A preening fucking peacock. He didn’t care if the metaphor was cheesy; he felt like one. He felt like one of those crazy-looking birds from the documentaries Shane liked to watch, birds-of-paradise, with ruffled rumps, faces like parade masks, prostrating themselves in the treetops for love.

    (Or, Ilya takes his birding husband on a birding honeymoon.)

    Summary

    Ilya pops open one eye to observe Shane, whose own eyes are scarcely open to see it. “Break up with her.”
    “I’m not breaking up with her. I love her.”
    “You love her like best friend. Not like a girlfriend.”

    or

    What if Shane didn't break up with Rose right away, but also couldn't stay away from Ilya?

    Inspired by the song of the same name by Renee Rapp, for my BITE ME anthology series based off the album <3

    Summary

    It was one thing to wrap around his head that he probably was attracted to men. It was another to try to come to terms that he, as an alpha, could be attracted to another alpha. But perhaps, the bitterest pill for Shane to swallow was that he was, regrettably but undeniably, attracted to one male alpha in particular.

    Ilya fucking Rozanov.
