View More[DIMITRI]She’s a firecracker.I should hate it, should find her annoying as fuck, should hate her guts for thinking she’s smarter than me, should kick her out of my home instead of imagining her on my bed, in all kinds of positions, with my hard-as-rock cock shoved deep into her ass, but I do none of that.Why? Because every time a thought like that crosses my mind, I find myself frowning and growling under my breath. I hate the idea of hating her. I hate that I can’t just sweep her into my arms, strip her naked, and fuck her like there’s no tomorrow.I’m probably losing my mind because every time she opens her mouth and some smart-ass remark comes out, instead of focusing on the words, all I do is stare at her mouth, wanting nothing more than to kiss it, suck it, and engage in all sorts of sinful acts that I would undoubtedly enjoy.This is so damn weird. Never in my life have I had so many sexual thoughts in a day, let alone about the same woman. This is apparently new territory fo
[NADIA]Hours go by, and I do nothing but sit in his car and glower at the roof. This is so unfair, uncomfortable, and unnecessary. Why do I have to stay with this mean man? I was barely able to stay sane when they forced me to live in that apartment until they made sure it was safe for me to be on the streets.The problem with this whole situation is, I don’t even know why my life is in danger in the first place. Even if my brother did something stupid and died because of it, what does that have to do with me? Why would they come after me when they have already taken care of my brother?I just… I just don’t understand any of this. I just… I just don’t know what the hell is going on. I sigh—for the hundredth time, perhaps—and shift in my seat, trying to get more comfortable. But it doesn’t help. I have been sitting here for more than an hour now, and the man who left me to my own devices is nowhere to be found.I desperately want to get out of this damn car and get some fresh air into
[DIMITRI]“Boss, we’ve got a hit!” Alexei exclaimed as soon as I answered the call.I narrowed my eyes at the road ahead. “What?”He nodded, breathing heavily. “Yeah. They found them. Tatiana and Lena. You should get back fast.”I gripped the steering wheel tightly and pressed the pedal, accelerating the car.Nadia, who sat on the passenger seat, all buckled up, let out a short squeal of surprise at the sudden jolt of speed. I glanced at her briefly, noticing how her hands flew to the side to grip the handle.She was quiet the whole ride.After I had made her pack her bags and forced her to come with me, she didn’t utter another word. She didn’t argue, didn’t cry, didn’t even look at me.Fine by me. I didn’t need her drama anyway.I focused back on the road and sped past a few cars, ignoring Nadia’s deathly grip on the handle.“I’m at least twenty minutes away. Send me the location. I’ll be there as soon as possible.”Alexei ended the call without replying.I put the phone back on the
[NADIA]I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t eat, couldn’t study.What the hell was wrong with me? For the past two hours, I had been staring at the pages of my textbook but none of the words were registering in my brain. And the more I stared at the book, the more I started to hate the sight of it.I threw the book aside and pushed myself off the bed, pacing the length of the room. I was so restless that it physically pained me to stay still. My heart was pounding so loudly against my chest that I could feel it in my ears, and my hands were shaking. There was something bubbling in the pit of my stomach, something that felt a lot like anger.I didn’t understand why I was feeling like this. Why was I so bothered?Dimitri fucked me last night. Big deal. He was a man, I was a woman. It wasn’t the first time I had slept with someone, and it sure as hell wouldn’t be the last. So why the fuck was I acting like a hormonal teenager whose crush didn’t notice her existence?I was being pathetic.I paced t
[DIMITRI]I watched as Nadia slammed the door of the car and stormed towards the two men standing outside the apartment building. Even though she looked relaxed, she moved so quickly that her ponytail whipped behind her back with each step she took. Her face was hard and her shoulders tense as she passed the guards and headed into the building.I grunted in frustration, gripping the steering wheel harder. “You have got to be fucking kidding me,” I whispered into the silence of the car before slamming my palm on the wheel.Nadia Sidorov had a bite, and I had no fucking clue what to do with her.She wasn’t like any other woman I had met before. She was hot-headed, stubborn and had a fucking smart mouth. Just like her brother. They were similar in many ways, but one thing that set her apart from every woman on this damn earth was that I was completely and utterly smitten by her.Fuck me.And it was bad news. It was fucking bad news.I could just imagine Ivan looking at me and laughing his
[NADIA]Throughout my life, I always knew what I wanted: to become someone who mattered, someone who did things that mattered to others; someone who wasn’t afraid of the world; someone who lived their life on their own terms.But, as they say, you don’t always get what you want. And in my case, I hardly ever got what I wanted—what I really, really wanted.I was only five when Mom and Dad passed away in an accident. My brother, who wasn’t older than ten, took it upon himself to take care of us. Of course, he didn’t get to make all the big decisions until our uncle kicked us out of his home as soon as my brother turned eighteen. It was only after we became homeless once again that he actually got the chance to become what he really wanted.Anatoly, my brother, wasn’t even that much older than me. We were maybe five years apart. That means when he turned eighteen, I was old enough to make tea and sandwiches and pack a lunch for both of us.My brother never really got the chance to actual
When Nadia woke up the next morning, her body ached like hell. It was after a very long time she had had sex, and fuck, he was so rough and brutal and good. Just the thought of him and his hands and his thick, veiny cock forced her to squeeze her thighs, trying to suppress the urge to have him back inside her. But whom was she kidding? What happened last night between her and Dimitri Alexeev would never happen again. Not because she didn’t want it to happen, but because the sex between them was more like a comforting one, one that he probably thought the sad sister of his soldier needed. Nadia didn’t even know why she took the first step and kissed him. She had never done something so reckless before. Well, except for showing up at his door una
Everything escalated between them too quickly. Not even in his dreams he could have thought something like they would ever happen with him. That he would get to kiss this woman he barely knew, or feel her hands all over him, her nails scraping at his skin or her legs wrapped around his hips. Fuck! Nothing could have prepared him for the way he was feeling right now. He kissed her harder than he should have, almost to the point it was rough and impatient and desperate. He knew she could taste the desperation in him, and somehow, she had welcomed it with open arms and a hungry mouth of her own. She didn’t just let him kiss her. She kissed him back like a starved woman. It was all teeth and tongues and her soft moans and her fingers in his hair and the way she couldn’t keep her hands to herself. He wasn’t much better either. He couldn’t k
After dropping Nikolai off at the stop he wanted to be dropped at, Dimitri went to the warehouse and assembled all their men. A word from Lex had finally come, and it was not good news. He had to leave for Kazan the second the weather cleared, but not before he had a piece of good news for his probably dying boss. He had to find Tatiana and bring her home. No matter what. Nikolai had assured that once he got the word from Marina and confirmed that Tatiana was with Madam Volkova, he would join Ivan’s force and help them take down Madam Volkova for good. Dimitri could see a war on the horizon, and even though he would have liked nothing more than to kill that woman for good, something continued to bother him for some reason he couldn’t even explain. To clear his head while they waited for Nikolai to give them the go, he commanded his men to prepare and be on alert and drove back to his apartment to take a shower and change clothes. He hated being dirty, and he hated it even more when
