Riley goes to Moscow with Malek

Their second sex scene was so much better than the first one.

I did not enjoy the first sex scene in this book.

Malek paid the bartender to drug Spider

Malek & Spider

I don’t speak to him for two days. I can’t. I’m too angry.
I’m not sure which one of us I’m more angry with, however, him or me.

“I have to go to work today.” He pauses. “I’ll be back late.”
I suspect there’s more he wants to say. The pause felt significant. I wait, my heartbeat going even faster.
After a while, he speaks again. This time, his tone has changed. It’s grown dark. “Don’t try to run away.”
I whisper, “I won’t.”
“You should.”
“Why?”
“You know why.”

When I wake up in the morning, Mal is sleeping on his side next to me in bed, his arm under my neck, a leg thrown over both of mine, his big warm hand splayed over my belly.
Right over my scar.

He slept next to her instead of in the chair.
