“So, you and your bodyguard, huh?”A faint smile touched her lips. “You handle pressure well.”“Is that mockery?”She shrugged, her eyes teasing. “Maybe.”“You should do a better job because I’m taking that as a compliment, and unlike you, I’m not selfish with compliments. You impress me with the way you navigate power plays like a pro. And I’m not easily impressed.”Her smile deepened, but she didn’t respond. Instead, her shoulders sagged, and she grabbed the chair I’d occupied seconds ago before collapsing on it. When she peered up at me through thick, long lashes, I saw the exhaustion written all over her face.“Don’t tell me a one-hour meeting has you wrung out.”Leonora scoffed. “As if. Don’t flatter yourself. Three hours could have slipped by, and I’d be just fine.”“Sure. Your slouched back on that chair is so convincing.”“Asshole,” she murmured under her breath, but she was smiling.What was strange was how seemingly normal it was to make small talk after a tense meeting—like

Leonora“What the fuck, Leo?”Shuttling between the driver’s seat and the car engine, I refused to look Gavin in the eye. “I know, I know. I’m crazy. Wouldn’t be the first time I’ve done something that made you question my sanity. You know, I’m hurt that you haven’t already come to terms with the fact that I’m not a normal human being.”“No, kid. You’re not playing a fast one on me. Just crazy? Leo, you’re racingIl Macellaio.Rafayel Yezhov.”I peeked at the older man from above the hood before I slammed it shut. I crossed my hands over my chest. “So? He’s not God. And I’m going to beat him. What’s the big deal anyway?”I knew what the big deal was. Even my pounding heart knew what the frigging big deal was.Gavin stared me down like I’d gone completely off my rockers. And I didn’t blame him. That was the first thing I thought the second I stepped out of Rafayel’s office. The wave of relief that filled me was surreal, like I could breathe again without having to worry about inhaling to

He pulled up beside me, his car idling as he rolled down his window. His smirk was intact, but there was the edge of victory in his eyes. “You got lucky.”Pfft.Yezhovs and their frigging pride. It was the same thing Ivan said.“Skill,” I corrected, stepping out of the car and tossing my helmet onto the seat. “But don’t feel too bad. I’ll admit, you put up a good fight.”“Remind me never to underestimate you again.”I smiled, feeling the rush of the race still thrumming in my veins. “Smart choice.”With the adrenaline still coursing through us, we stepped off the track. The roar of engines no longer charged the air. We’d been so wrapped up in our own excitement that neither of us noticed when the track emptied of other cars, but the tension lingered, thick and electric in the evening air.Quietly, I walked back to the stands and threw myself on one of the padded seats. Stretching my legs out, I peeled off my gloves, flexed my fingers, and reeled in the satisfying ache that reminded me

The foreign emotion swirling in his eyes was overwhelming, but what blew me away was the raving intensity of desire swimming in them.“I thought about kissing you.”For the love of—Shit!I almost swallowed my fucking tongue because I thought I heardZverconfess to wanting to kiss me just now.But he did say it, didn’t he? My ears weren’t bleeding in fantasy land; he fucking said it!“Leonya.”There was no denying it anymore. This man desired me, and I craved him worse than children craved chocolates and cookies. It was like a rising volcano with an urgent need to erupt—a maddening desire to burst. I was the balloon, and he was the pin. The ache was strong. None of this made sense, this energy rotating around us. But it was there, and we couldn’t ignore it.I didn’t want to.“Leonya….”I busted out in hysterical laughter because that was exactly how I felt now—fucking hysterical. “You’re bluffing.”“Bluffing.”Rafayel chuckled, but it didn’t sound like the first one. This time, it was d

But the man was full of surprises, and his mansion certainly wasn’t what I expected.For a man like him who thrived on control and exuded confidence like a second skin, I anticipated something ostentatious—towering gates, sprawling grounds, a display of untouchable wealth. Instead, the estate was…understated, almost deceptively so.A line of neatly trimmed cypress trees lined the driveway leading to a house, striking a balance between old-world charm and contemporary restraint.It wasn’t grandiose, but it wasn’t ultramodern either. Smooth limestone walls were accented with dark wood beams, and soft uplighting released warm glows on the arched windows. It was the kind of place that hinted at luxury rather than screamed it.Now, inside, the surprises continued.The foyer was modest, with polished wood floors that gleamed under a minimalist chandelier. There were no oversized portraits or gaudy gold accents—just a clean, inviting space that somehow still felt personal—a quiet elegance.W

The pupils seemed to dilate, expanding like black holes, drawing in the light around him, and I could almost see the turbulence churning within his eyes, like the dark, swirling clouds of a thunderhead on a summer’s day.Lust.Rafayel’s hands found my hips, and he dragged me toward him, roughly slipping his fingers along the base of my neck and into my hair once more. His touch against my skin was like fire on ice.One touch, and I was melting, heating up like a piece of pie in a fucking microwave, losing my sense of self-control, self-respect, and everythingself.Thoughts prodded and poked: What would Papa think if he found out? What would the family think if they heard?“I thought I’d start off with being a gentleman.”Rafayel’s voice brought me back to the moment, turning me into a careening sack of flesh and bones without logic or the balls to smash my knee into the visible bulge between his legs and run away.Right now, I couldn’t give two flying fucks if I was just going to be o

And I was drawn into this absurd intimacy of the moment, my own senses heightened as I felt the heavy pressure of his fingertips, the harsh caress of his breath on me.“Yes.”Yes?What the hell didyeshave to do with anything he’d said?I’d lost it.His finger moved harder inside me, faster, slapping against my clit and making me buck against his hand. My juices slipped between my thighs, soaking my panties and shorts, and an insane pressure built in my core.My arousal was so heavy I could hear it smacking against him with every thrust of his hand inside me. I had to bite my tongue from begging.I’d never begged for anything before. And I’d certainly not experienced a man touching me this way, like it was his life’s mission to please me.I started to move against him myself, desperate to make sure he didn’t stop what he was doing. I held his shoulders like my life depended on it, and he slammed his hand deeper.I cried out as the orgasm washed over me, collapsing my body weight on him

“Not yet. Now lie on the couch and turn around.”It was an order fromZver—a command I almost hated myself for wanting to obey. But I grew rigid in his arms, understanding that he intended to take me from behind.He noticed, and dark brows creased between his forehead. “What’s the problem?”I shook my head, and he gripped my jaw, bringing me closer to peer into my eyes. “Leonya.”I shrugged my face off his grip, irritated that I had to display vulnerability. “It’s nothing. I just…I haven’t….”The sudden glint of amusement in his eyes meant he caught on faster than I expected him to, and I didn’t feel as embarrassed as I ought to have been.“I’ll be good to you.”He’d said it softly, and I didn’t know why the tension immediately waned, but it did, and I nodded slowly.Rafayel slid to the couch, and when he was seated comfortably, he snaked an arm around my waist, pulling me down to his height so I straddled him. I rested my hands on his shoulders and eyed his jacket.He led my hands to

I was grateful.Andrei’s face creased with worry. “Are you okay?”I drifted back to the presence and nodded. “I just thought of Dad. I mean, isn’t it funny how I was able to meet you because of the shipment he hid?”“Tell me about it. You think Peter had this all mapped out before he died?” Andrei asked with a playful grin. “That he wanted me to meet you?”I shrugged. “He was a genius. It’s not completely out of the box. He worked with you, so he must’ve known how great of a person you are.”Andrei chuckled. “Your father watched me murder men in cold blood a few times. There is no way he would have wanted a man like me for his daughter.”I looked him straight in the eyes and corrected him. “Every father wants a man who would love and protect their daughter. You’re all of those things, and I’m sure he would have approved.”Even if Mom hadn’t been a fan of it at first, she’d adjusted pretty well.Andrei took my hands and kissed the back of my palm. “And I promise to always love and prot

GiselleSeven Months Later“It’s your birthday in less than an hour,” Mom said over the phone.For the first time since Dad died, she sounded happier, as if she’d finally gotten to that final stage of grief.Acceptance.The stage where even though the pain was still there, it just became easier to live with.I believed I’d also gotten to that stage.There were days when I missed Dad so much and wished he was still here, but those days were fleeting, and I found myself cherishing the memories we had when he was here.I’d shifted my focus to finding my own path in life and living in the moment. Andrei was the moment; because of him, I could live happily and smile freely again, something I never thought I would experience after Dad died.I stared blankly at the wall above me and sighed. “Yes, Mom. It’s my twenty-third birthday in an hour, and the only company I have is an empty house.”It was the first time I’d ever been home alone for a while now. Andrei made it a duty to always come ho

“I think we need to celebrate.” She leaned in and whispered. “Let’s sneak away from here.”I took her hand in mine. “Come with me.”She squinted. “Where are we going?”“You’ll see.”I led her to the rooftop of the building, closing the door behind us to avoid any interruptions and burying the noise of the chaos below.The rooftop was quiet, and the city stretched out before us, a glittering expanse of lights and movement. The night breeze was cool, carrying with it the distant sounds of cars racing down the street.Giselle stood beside me, her hands covered in mine as she admired the full moon and the bed of stars in the sky.Our fingers grazed, and it felt like the entire world had been set ablaze, the heat licking through my veins and the air cracking with a jolt of tension.The weird feeling in my chest intensified, and my pulse raced. It was a reminder of what she meant to me—what I’d just discovered she meant to me.I watched her, something in my chest fluttering as I admired how

AndreiThe air was thick with the aroma of burning cigars, the low murmur of laughter and conversation blending with the shuffle of cards and the clinking of crystal glasses.My fingers drummed idly against the felt-covered table, my gaze sweeping across my opponents.They were all seasoned members of the Bratva with hands that were scarred from bloodshed and dark eyes that threatened death.Antonio Morozov and Victor Volkov.We were all cut from the same cloak—all three of us—bred with cruelty, brutality, and bloodshed. Different in many ways yet similar in more than one.And at this table, every card we tossed was a matter of our pride. The joy that came with victory surpassed winning a war with a rival family.I’d always been a good player, only lost a game a couple of times. My skills were unbeatable, and everyone here knew it.But it was different tonight. Giselle’s presence made it different.She sat on the edge of a leather chair across the room, her back straight and hands fol

I wrapped my arms around his neck, reveling in the heat seeping from his body and into mine as he carried me to our room.His throat bobbed as he swallowed hard, his body pressing against mine and enveloping me with warmth.We barely made it past the bedroom door when I shifted from the position in one fluid motion, wrapping my legs around his hips and tracing his lips with mine.His arm snaked around me, and one of his hands slid under my swimsuit, finding my bare breast and cupping it.I raked my fingers through his hair and kissed him. It was a hot, searing, primal kiss that evoked something deeper than lust from both of us. It was need, mixed with deep yearning.He deepened the kiss, dragging his thumb across my nipple and twisting it lightly.I moaned into his mouth, bucking when I felt his erection poke against my sex, and ground against him, desperate to ease the throbbing between my thighs.He slid a hand through my thong and cupped my sex, and then, fisting the thong, he ripp

I swam toward him, resting my elbow on the edge just by his feet and tilting my head to look at him. “It’s called a two-piece swimsuit.”“Ah, I see.” He whipped his head around and glared at his guards, a silent signal for them to look away.I laughed. He hadn’t just grown more protective; he’d become even more possessive and jealous as well. It was cute to see. “You know they’ve been watching me swim every day for weeks now, right?”“Well, they’re not allowed to watch you swim anymore. No man is allowed to watch you swim beside me.”I huffed. He’d just saved me from having to discuss the bodyguard situation. “How was work today, husband?”“I had a couple of meetings with thePakhanand a couple of members of the Bratva. All I could think of while I was there was coming back home to you.” He placed a finger beneath my chin and leaned in. “I missed you.”“Me, too.” I squinted and grinned. “I think I missed you more.”He pretended to think for a moment. “I doubt it.”Something about the w

GiselleIt’d been two months since the whole fiasco with the FBI and Tyfun-1. Luckily, the cops hadn’t found anything to implicate me with the drugs, and the news about it had become irrelevant.A lot of things had changed—like my relationship with Andrei.I’d started to truly enjoy his presence, with no fear or doubts attached, and I missed him in his absence—like a part of me had been torn away.He’d changed a lot, too, over the months.Although he was still that dominant, fearful, and brutal man others feared, he’d become softer with me. He smiled more now and didn’t have to pretend to be cold whenever we were together.To be honest, I didn’t think I could’ve pulled a better man than him on my own, even if I tried.It was the middle of summer, and the weather outside was scorching. Andrei wouldn’t be home until evening, and I’d grown tired of watching TV.I went to the pool outside, sliding off my robe and slipping into the water. I groaned as a blissful chill cascaded over me, was

And there was no way in hell I was going home tonight without the damn camellias.***When I got home, Giselle was standing in the living room, arms crossed, waiting. Her hair was loose, falling in dark waves over her shoulders. Her lips parted slightly as her gaze dropped to the box in my hands.She held her chest and exhaled. She ran to me, pressing up on her toes to hug me.I snaked one arm around her waist, hugging her back. She smelled jasmine and vanilla tonight—delicious and sweet.“I was so worried, Andrei,” she whispered, hugging me tightly, as if I would vanish into thin air if she pulled away. “You told me you were coming home hours ago.”I pulled back first and pressed a kiss on the top of her head. “I was coming home until I saw something that looked just as beautiful as you.”She peered at the box again but completely ignored it. “Did you get into trouble? Was thePakhanmad at you?”I looked at her long and hard—the way her brows creased with worry and her emerald eyes da

“I’ve seen how you men live. I’ll be damned before I let myself become that kind of a mess.”I nodded. I’d thought the same thing months ago, and here I was, risking it all for a woman I never thought I’d meet.She’d been freaking worried this morning, afraid of how this would turn out. I needed to go back home to her. I needed to see her face and watch her give that delightful smile when I broke the news to her.Rising to my feet, I smoothed out my suit and nodded to thePakhan. “I’ll be leaving now. I’ll give you an update if there’s any soon.”He nodded back. “Khorosho.”Dobryn was leaning on the white S.U.V. when I reached the parking lot. His face wrinkled with concern when he saw me. “How did it go, sir?”“Luckily, he wasn’t angry.” I climbed into the back seat, pulling out my phone to text Giselle that I was on my way home.The car roared beneath me, and soon, Dobryn reeled it out of the parking lot. “Where are we going now?” he asked, peering at me through the rearview mirror.
