“I wish we could spend the day here in bed.” She sounds a little sleepy. “Just cuddle with me. And kiss me.” I laugh and roll her over to her back. She lets out a squeak as I lean down and kiss her, my mouth sliding over hers in a deep kiss. Her lips move against mine as her fingers run up and down
My dick twitches as my eyes travel up her bare thighs, over her breasts, to her pouting lips. “Are you trying to distract me from your gift with your body?” “Maybe?” She gives me a sassy smile. I dip down to kiss her and she wraps her arms around my neck. My lips trail down the side of her neck,
Dimitri Alexeev was a man of few words. He preferred to communicate with actions, rather than words. But, if there was something that he knew, it was how to talk his way out of things. But when his phone rang that morning, while he was getting ready for the funeral of one of his underlings, he foun
Sidorov was just another person to die under his watch. He wasn’t the first, nor would he be the last. Dimitri was the underboss, one of the most powerful men in the entire Russian Mafia. He had been responsible for the lives and deaths of many others, and this death wouldn’t mean shit in the future
He would make sure to keep her safe, keep her out of danger and keep her from getting in trouble. And Dimitri would be damned if he would ever let a man touch her without his permission. Wait. What the fuck? Did he just think all that? Fuck. What was happening to him? Why was he getting all territ
They got into his car. For a long moment, Dimitri just sat there, doing nothing. His hands were on the steering wheel but he continued to stare over the hood of the car. It was as if he was suddenly struggling to remember how to even drive the fucking car. It boggled him that he was struggling this
He just wished that his thoughts would be as easy to keep under control as his actions were. He was grateful when the car pulled up to the church where her brother’s funeral would be held. She sat there for a moment, looking lost and confused. Her hands were trembling, too, as she put her earbuds b
He was talking about the incident at the lounge last night, where Sidorov was shot in the head. “Yes, I have the information. I’ll take care of it.” Dimitri replied. Ivan gave him a stern look before sighing in exasperation. “What happened at the lounge was an amateur mistake, Dimitri. I hope you
After our fourth round of pure, wild sex, I have nothing left in me. Every ounce of energy drained, I barely manage to pull the sheets over myself before sleep claims me.When I wake hours later, the room is dim, the soft glow of my bedside lamp casting long shadows on the walls. My body feels heavy
[NADIA]“You’re here?” I say into the phone, clutching my books tightly to my chest as I glance around. “Where?”“Outside. Meet me when you’re done with your classes.”A wide grin spreads across my face, excitement bubbling inside me. “Oh, I’m done. And even if I wasn’t, I’d still run to you.”Dimit
The Ivan I know is strong. Unshakable. Even in the worst situations, he carries himself with a quiet, effortless confidence that makes you believe nothing could ever touch him.But the man lying in this hospital bed, surrounded by beeping machines and the sterile scent of antiseptic, looks nothing l
[ANASTASIA]Ever since I woke up after the incident, I have been dying to see Ivan.But now that I’m standing outside his room—where supposedly he had been admitted—, I can’t muster up the courage to push open the damn door.I’m nervous. Terrified. And most of all, unsure.I don’t know if I’m ready
Lena presses her lips together tightly, the color draining from her face until it looks almost lifeless.For a long moment, she doesn’t speak. The silence stretches between us, thick and suffocating. I can feel my heartbeat in my ears, pounding relentlessly, echoing my fear.Why the hell is she taki
[ANASTASIA]The next time I open my eyes, I’m not alone.Lena sits next to my bed, her hand in mine, her eyes closed, as if she fell asleep while watching over me.For the first time since waking up from my so-called long slumber, I look at her carefully. She looks more tired than I’ve ever seen her
[NIKOLAI]Once we finally get to his office, Konstantin takes his seat behind the desk and raises an eyebrow. He looks kind of pissed, but not enough to end me right here and now.He might have the power to do that and carry on with his day as if nothing happened, but I know in my gut he won’t. He m
[NIKOLAI]I hang up the phone and stare hard at the ground.“Fuck you, Dimitri!” I growl, clenching the phone tighter and huffing out a heavy breath.The bastard has the audacity to make me responsible for everything that happened to Ana and Ivan. But is it? Am I really the one to blame?I look away
[DIMITRI]I storm out of the building and light a cigarette, unable to think of anything else.I breathe in the smoke and then blow it out, hoping it will take away the stress pressing on my chest, making my lungs incapable of doing their job.I don’t know what to do anymore. Ana is finally awake, w
