“I love you, Rafa.”

He kissed my forehead and relaxed on the seat with his eyes shut. “I know you do.”

****

We stepped out of the car as we arrived at Timur’s house, and I smiled at the imposing structure before us. Serena invited us for lunch today. Rafayel didn’t say it often, but we both knew how appreciative he was that Timur and his family shuttled between states just to spend time with us. And it was surely a blessing because Serena had fallen madly in love with Nadya.

Normally, I stayed home with our daughter, who was a rare moment of peace in the madness of our lives. Marco was more than capable of handling the operations while I focused on what mattered most—our baby girl. But tonight, it was different. I had to be with Rafayel at the meeting with Paragon, and I knew Serena would be happy to take over for a while, giving me the time I needed.

I didn’t like leaving Nadya in someone else’s hands, but Serena had always been good with her. She’d always been a mother in her own ri

    “Don’t make noise. She’s asleep.”“You should take your own advice, sweetheart.”Like an animal, Rafayel ripped the thong from my waist, cupped me where I’d ached for him all day, and pressed my back against the door until I was breathing his scent and nothing else. His breath came fast and shallow, his eyes fixed on me with a hunger that matched my own.“Spread your legs,” he ordered, and I obeyed.He slipped one finger in, grunted against my neck, and pumped in another one. My back flew off the door, and I dug my fingernails into his hard biceps to keep my legs steady. He moved against me, thrusting his finger inside me with a rough speed that I wholly welcomed.“Punishment for teasing me tonight,” he growled against my ear and nipped at my earlobe.The words in my brain had turned into an incoherent mush, but I was still able to say, “You started it, staring at me like I was dinner.”A low chuckle rumbled from his throat and his mouth latched on my nape while his finger worked its

    After what felt like an eternity, I found it buried beneath a stack of books I always carried. My mom’s number flashed on my screen, and a smile spread across my face. “I’m sorry, it’s my mom. Just give me a second.”Hazel nodded. “Sure.”I answered the phone. “Hey, Mom.”“Hey, baby.” Mom’s voice was high-pitched and tinged with excitement. “How are you doing today?”I leaned back in my chair, pinning my gaze on nothing in particular and imagining Mom’s wide smile where she was. “I’m good. I’m out for lunch with Hazel.”“How is Hazel? I loved it when you used to bring that girl home for dinner,” Mom said. “Is she okay?”“She’s good, too. We were talking about how much I miss you and Dad.”I could practically feel Mom’s smile drop over the phone.“Honey,” she started, her tone dropping, “have you spoken to your dad lately?”“Um….” Mom would be mad if I told her Dad was over at my place the previous night, but I couldn’t lie to her about it. She’d be even more upset if she found out I h

    I tossed my phone on the table. My fingers hovered over the phone still, and my throat tightened as I fought back emotions.“Is everything okay?” Hazel asked, her face marred with concern. “You look really sad right now.”“Yeah.” I tucked my hair behind my ear and lifted my coffee to my mouth. It was lukewarm now, making it taste even creamier. “She’s worried my dad’s business will end up putting me in harm’s way.”She gave me a pitiful look. “Is it always like this with your parents?”I drew in a breath, trying to act as unaffected as possible. “Not always. Mom goes ballistic whenever she finds out Dad came around. She’s been that way since they divorced.”“You can’t blame her, though; she’s only worried because she cares about you.” Hazel stares at me intently. “You’ll be fine. You’re one of the toughest people I know.”“Can you blame me?” I forced a smile that didn’t meet my eyes. “Mobster dads have that effect.”She chuckled. “Tell me about it. When I was younger, I used to think

    Andrei“A body in the morgue and a shipment missing sounds like a fucking problem to me.”All eyes in the room turned to me: piercing green eyes belonging to Egor Yezhov, thePakhanof the Bratva; the dark, intense eyes of my cousin, Rafayel Yezhov; and the light blue, murderous eyes attributed to my other cousin, Miron Yezhov.Every man in this room shared something in common beyond our last name and our connection to the dark underworld; we were all here to mourn the same man.But not in the way his family and friends, if he had any, would. One thing about men in the Bratva was that we had no friends. Trust was fickle, and love was a vulnerability—everything the mafia was against.We only needed our fucking wits and brutality to survive, but even that wasn’t enough sometimes.Peter Rae was one of the best men we’d had, and he was dead.Not just dead—he was fuckingmurdered. But that wasn’t the real problem, at least not for me. The problem was that he’d hidden something very valuable,

    I nodded.“How do we know he didn’t give them the information before he died?” Egor asked. He’d finally stopped tapping against the glass. It looked like I’d piqued his interest.“Peter would never give up that information even to save his own life.” I smiled, taking a sip of my whiskey and reveling in the way it burned down my throat. “That’s where trust comes in.”“We still need to find whoever is after the Tyfun-1 before they do more damage,” Rafayel suggested, his face contorting with rage.I shook my head, my lips curling with a smirk. “That won’t be necessary. All we have to do is find the Tyfun-1. Whoever is behind Peter’s death will come to us himself. He can’t hide in the shadows for long.”Miron finally stopped pacing and leaned against the wall. “How do we find it?”Egor’s eyes and mine shot to the phone in the middle of the table at the same time. I could tell he was thinking the same thing as I was.“This phone has some of the answers we need,” Egor said, picking the devi

    Reading something pre-written wasn’t going to suffice.I crumpled the paper, squeezing it harder than necessary, and conveyed what I truly wanted to say.“I always knew death was inevitable, but I never thought I’d have to stand here and say goodbye to my father so soon.” I paused and drew a shaky breath. “My father, Peter Rae, was many things. A provider. A protector. A man who carried his own demons but still tried to shield me from them. He was far from perfect, but he was still my father who loved me very much, and now he’s gone.”A sob from one of the well-wishers distracted me. It was my father’s youngest sister, Aunt Bianca. She was the only one of his siblings who didn’t fear him or judge him so cruelly, and she was the only one of them who showed any real pain at his death. Dad would be happy to know that she was here to send him off. I doubt he’d be happy to know that Mom couldn’t make it.“People say that time heals all wounds and that grief fades. But how do you heal from

    The cemetery was empty now. Only the sound of the evening breeze rustling the trees and the chirping of birds returning to their nests kept me company.As the sun dipped lower in the sky, I stared at the freshly turned soil. The air smelled of damp earth and dying flowers, and a hollow ache settled in my chest. Everyone had left except me and him.I could leave, but he was stuck here forever.As much as I wished I could remain here with him, I couldn’t. He wouldn’t want me to put my life on hold; he’d want me to be strong and achieve my dreams, and I was going to do just that.The only problem was that I knew his killers were out there, roaming freely. The police had not yet found a single clue about who killed him and why, and I realized I would never fully find peace if no one was punished for this.Sighing, I rose to my feet and smoothed out the black dress that was supposed to be for our date, and then I smiled at my dad’s grave. On his gravestone, I had them carve,Here lies Peter

    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.
