Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Nikolai let him see her now and again when they gathered for business. Gareth also made sure she was living well, and she was. She loved Nikolai and he treated her well, like his princess.”
“Nikolai’s condition was that if you two got together again, it’d only be under the bratva’s rules. Meaning, you could only reunite with her if Gareth gave you up, too. He wasn’t ready for that.”
“We met…” I trail off. “I think I planned to escape with her.”
Asher’s hand tightens on my thigh and I wince as I keep my head down. He was right all along; I did plan to escape.
She had to have a sappy goodbye with that fucker Jason, who’s starting to get on my nerves.
If I watch him put his arm around her one more time, I’m breaking it and killing any chance of him going pro.
Well, it turns out she’s Rai or what-the-fuck-ever.
I just never thought he and Gareth could’ve hidden an identity switch this way. Does her name matter? Does it change anything?
No, and fuck...

She suffered in her childhood and was a kid on the run with no one but her mother—and even that support was taken away.
Reina will never be safe unless her sister is. Even if her sister is dead, there’s no telling if Ivan will come after her. He’d want to eliminate the last descendent of Nikolai Sokolov’s bloodline.
So far, only Reina remains. And Rai.
She lived amongst them for years, so I’m hoping she has a trick or two up her sle...

but I’m starting to think maybe it’s because she only knew Russian dishes before and didn’t want to expose that detail about herself.
Like she always wanted to when we were pre-teens.
Her clothes and purse lie on the chair in complete disorder. I shake my head.
Another thing about Reina? She can’t get organized to save her life.
Since I started eating her pussy, I’m a fucking addict going through withdrawal.
But I kill that voice like I always have since this new version of Reina woke up in the hospital, since she sucked my finger like she meant it, like she actually fucking wanted it.
“Did you think I’d ask you to move out if I didn’t plan to join?”
This Reina doesn’t remember why she needed to hide her emotions, and as a result, she’s more genuine. More…fun.
“As long as I please.” I have all my stuff in my car and will bring it up later.
“I have to change, dude.”
Dude. Seriously, sometimes she’s an entirely different person altogether.
She’s Reina, the only Reina I’ve ever known.
I keep coming back to her whether I like to or not. She has me under some black magic. It’s in the way she looks at me like she never looks at anyone else. Like I’m her one and only.
Another thing about this Reina? She lives in the moment no matter what her brain tells her.
whenever she’s aroused, Reina barely manages to keep her eyes open.
It’s like she’s fighting herself to remain in the moment.
“I’m the only man you’ll ever get on your knees for, understood?” “Yes, Ash.” “Repeat that.” Her voice turns sultry. “Yes, Ash.”
Who said it’s easy to find the right road? If Reina is the wrong one, I’m not leaving this fucking place for eternity.
“What language is this?” she murmurs, her voice sleepy. “Arabic.”
One day, I’ll have to wake up and do what I planned all along.
“Eye for an eye.”
This is what she turned me into. A fucking criminal with no regrets whatsoever. She pulled me by the gut years ago and since refused to let me go.
“Alexander Carson speaking.”
“Asher Gray Carson speaking.” I can’t help the sarcasm.
“What did you do now? Hit another student for looking at Reina?”
“I’m tired of your antics with your classmates. I can’t keep paying off those kids’ parents every time.”
“I hit a teacher. It’s the worst beating so far. I don’t know if he’ll live or die.”
Reina doesn’t touch me. She doesn’t even let me kiss her. The few times I tried, she shut me off so hard, it still draws a black hole in my chest.
