Summary
“This will mark you as mine,” Ivan says, stepping over and fastening the gold band around Till’s wrist. He looks down at it for a moment, still holding onto Till’s hand.
Till stares at it as well, his heart pounding in his chest, still not a hundred percent sure he knows what’s going on. Ivan’s never mentioned anything about this before. Despite all his weird teasing and boundary pushing, he’s never brought up making Till his concubine of all things.
“You know I’m not like you,” he says softly after a moment, swallowing hard.
“I know,” Ivan says easily, nonchalantly. Like it doesn’t matter either way.
