“What else would a man like you be doing?”
“When you’re home, all we do is fuck. You’re insatiable. Then what? When you leave for two days, you just keep it in your pants?”
“I’m insatiable for you,” he growls. “And when I can’t have you, I masturbate to the thought of being with you again.”
“Lies. You could have any girl you want, so why would you ever bother jerking off?” “I don’t want any other girls.”
don’t think you can handle that reality, little deer.” “Try me.” Andrei shoves his pelvis into my ass, then without warning, I’m thrown over his shoulder. I scream. “What are you—”
“Let’s see what you can really handle.” “Let go of—” Whap! A hot sting erupts from my cheek. My tender skin throbs and I can feel his giant handprint pulsing beneath my dress. I want to kick and scream, but I can’t take Andrei spanking me again. It feels too good, and I’m far too pissed off for that.
“We’re coming downstairs. Don’t start without me.”
“Where are you taking me?” I manage to squeak out before Andrei can spank me again. “I have a gift for you. A gift I was going to give you anyway. But now I’m also going to show you how the meat is made. Just so you know what I do when I’m not jerking off to the thought of fucking you.”
“What does that mean?” “You’ll see soon enough.”
“You’re beet-red,” he says. “No shit. I’m hot as hell.” “Agreed.”
“Eyes to the wall!” I hear feet shuffling. Andrei steps inside.
“Come with me,”
“You...” I breathlessly gasp.
believe you’ve met Mike Spolanski before,”
“You two had a run-in at my club the night we first met. If I remember correctly, he’s the one who as...

“Hey, look, I’ve stayed away from your clubs,”
“There’s no need to dig up old trouble.” “What’s this about?” The old man speaks. “Ah, and this is Mike’s father, Federick Spolanski. He owns the building across the street from us. The one that’s nearly as big as mine.” “When the renovations are done, it will be bigger,”
“There will be no renovations,”
“You picked the wrong time to try and renegotiate with me, Frederick. I know you thought it was clever, attempting to take back some of your property while my empire is under attack. But no matter how weak...

“I see,” the old man grumbles. “So, what now? Are you going to try and muscle another building out of me? Even after my son
has finally learned to behave himself? Is that why you brought this whore for me? To smooth things over before—”
“What… What the fuck did you just do? He was cooperating. He…”
“You touched my girl,”
“I… I don’t remember.” “I do.”
“Andrei…” I try to gasp, but nothing comes out. The skin around Mikey’s throat tears beneath Andrei’s tensed fingers. Something snaps. Mikey gargles. Blood spills. Andrei shoves his foot against Mikey’s stomach and kicks.
“I’ve had enough of you.”
“Towel,” Andrei orders.
“I’m not holding back anymore,” he
“My enemies will receive no mercy. And you…” he finally looks back toward me. I gulp. “Me?” “You are mine. I’m sorry you didn’t realize it before. There is no one else, Natalya. I want you. But you were right, when a man like me wants something, he gets it. And he keeps it. You are not free to leave.”
“I… I…” “Come here.”
“I lied,” he says, taking my hand with his. “… About what?” “About there being no renovations on the building across the street. The entire place is my gift to you. Do with it what you please. Renovations or no renovations. That’s one of the reasons I called you down here today.”
“You’re giving me a building?”
“Why are you giving me a building?”
“So that you’ll have one right next to mine. Now come, little deer,”
“Let me show you the other reason I brought you here today.”
“Open your palm for me,” I say, as gently as possible. Natalya doesn’t resist. Her fingers unfurl and I lift her shaking hand up.
“It’s going to be alright. You’re going to be alright,”
“Sure…” “Look at me.”
“Natalya…” “That… that was so awful.” “It’s what I do,”
“I wanted to show you where I was when I’m not around.”
“I… I think I’d almost rather you be out there wi...

“That’s never going to happen,” I say. “Sorry to break it to you.” She sinks into my chest. “I’m not made for your world.” “That’s what I’m here for. I’m going to protect you. I’m going to teach you. I’m going to make you—”
“… Your wife?” she finishes for me.
“Here’s what else I wanted to show you.”
pull it out just enough so that Natalya can see the strange lock protecting its contents. “What is that?” she asks. “Something very important.” Beside the box, deeper down the shelf, is a dagger. I pull it out and flip the gold lock cover open on the black box.
prick my ring finger with the blade and let a drop of blood fall into one of the tiny bowls. The crimson liquid trickles down through the hole, leaving a faint trail along the old gold plating. “Why did you do that?” Natalya asks. “You’ll see. Give me your hand.”
She does as I say and I prick her ring finger. “Ouch!” she winces, trying to pull away. But I hold her steady. “Now watch.”
Then I lift Natalya’s hand and suck the wound clean. “That sound…” she whispers, quivering against the touch of my lips.
moment later, a clicking sound indicates that the process was successful. “Pretty cool, huh?” I smile, opening the box. “How… how did that work?”
