Call me delusional, but the fact he’s stalking me means he’s obsessed with me. Just like I am with him. I can’t be mad about that.

Lara, This is just the start of the last year of your twenties. And this is just the beginning of our new chapter. I’ll see you later for the rest of your gifts. If you thought you were spoiled as my friend, wait until you see what happens when you’re mine completely. You make me so happy, baby. Love, Alexei, Sheila, and Bruce.

“I think it’s about time you gave me a hand necklace,” I whisper and lick my lips as I watch his reaction. His brows furrow in a look of confusion. “Explain, is this another English term?” “Choke me, Alexei. Your hands become my necklace.” I can feel my cheeks get hot. He gives me a little smirk and dives his fingers in deeper. “Why do you wanna be choked, pchelka? You trust my hands around your throat? Not many people would.” I lean in and roll my hips against his palm. “It will make me come so fucking hard for you, sladkiy.” I suck in a breath as he curls his fingers deep inside me.

“Everything around me always falls apart and you know what I do? I starve myself to feel some sense of normalcy. Sometimes I don’t eat for days and work out until the room spins, but all I can hear is my father telling me I don’t look good enough for a man to marry. Every first date never turns into a second and now, I’m so in love with the one man I can’t openly be with, why? Because my brothers control my damn life.

“Lara Volkov. I’ve been in love with you for what feels like my whole life. My loyalty may be with your brothers, my heart, that’s all yours, baby. And that comes first, even before my own life. That will never change. What we have, it’s forever. There is no end. We don’t hide. I would be nothing more than honored to be your man to everyone in the outside world, your brothers included. But it’s a risk.”
