My lips curve up as I shake my head, and framing his jaw with my palms, I say, “No, a god belongs to me.”
“What do you want as an engagement present?”
“A motorcycle,”
“And?”
“A gun.”
“What do you want?” I ask, intimacy weaving a spell around us.

He pushes a finger inside me, and a moan spills over my lips, th...

Alexei doesn’t trust me.
My heartbeat speeds up as the thought that I can actually lose Isabella crosses my mind.
I ask the question that’s been gnawing at my soul, “Did I force anything on you?”
“You wouldn’t be alive if you did.”
My eyes drift shut as intense relief spreads through me.
“Go home, Alexei. I’ll meet you there befo...

I stare at the engagement ring on my finger. I’ve tried to take it off but couldn’t. My heart wouldn’t let me. No matter how much I want to hate Alexei, I can’t because when all is said and done, I love him.
realization hits that even after everything, I still trust Alexei.

Alexei doesn’t say anything but just stares at me. When minutes start to tick by, I ask, “You wanted to talk?”
“I’ll get to that. But, first, I just want to look at you.”

“Why? I can’t figure that out. What do you want from me, Alexei?”

I might be angry and hurt, but at the end of the day, Alexei still has the power because I can’t stop loving him.
“I did it because I love you.”
The initial attraction was there from the first moment we laid eyes on each other.

I think that’s what I’ve been struggling to accept – that Alexei Koslov has fallen – for me. Love is rare in our world, and men like Alexei… they don’t love anything but power.

“For now.”
“What do you mean ...

“Until you do something to make me angry or vice versa.”
“We can always end our fights with sex. It’s a great way to let off steam.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Alexei’s hand fists in my hair to keep me in place, and then he crushes his mouth to mine just as his watch begins to beep, indicating the hour is up.
She’s back. I didn’t lose the love of my life. Thank fuck.
“No black eye?”
“And I even got a kiss,”
“Lucky fucker.”
I’m Ariana, Demitri’s better half.”
