summary: Shane has always thought big, and “big” when you’re the world’s foremost corporate netrunner means weapons, illegal mods, illegal trafficking. And when your jobs are that big, they come with even bigger obstacles. Namely, rival netrunners, employed by crime bosses and others who expect their accounts to be the target of corpos. And when you’re Shane Hollander, they only send the best of the worst after you.
Ilya Rozanov.
CHAPTER SIX
It isn’t as if Ilya’s apartment has no climate control, it’s just that it’s shitty. Even so, Shane turns the air conditioning on full blast all day, promising to reimburse Rozanov for the bill. The man in question is busy with his homework when Shane returns to the apartment with the fuckload of ice—shoving t-shirts and dish cloths up against the bottoms of the windows to seal in the cold air. The shades are already down, the place only lit by the single lamp on the side table. It’s quite romantic, Shane thinks, because he’s an insane person. Going on a co-dive is, unfortunately, his idea of a hot date. “Got it?” Ilya asks as he takes the trunk from him. “Jesus Christ, this is heavy. You carried this alone?” Shane gives him a bitchy look. “Do I look like a fucking wimp to you, Rozanov?” “Mmm, not sure. Flex and let me remember.” Shane purses his lips, rolling his eyes. He definitely does flex a little, though, and smothers a smile when Ilya whistles appreciatively.
