Fuck me.
Fuck me.
Fuck me.
“Are you telling me we’re gonna have the Bratva breathin’ down our necks?” I growled.
Nebraska might no longer be young but she was gorgeous and the daughter of someone who they would consider an enemy. We could build a fortress around her and fortify it with an army and still have trouble keeping those motherfuckers from getting Nebraska.
“No. I made a deal.”
She made a deal.
What the fuck!
“For the love of Christ tell me you’re not standing in this office with my woman telling me you made a fucking deal with the Russian fucking Mob. In other words, putting her life in danger.”
Anna’s demeanor changed. The room cooled, the air wasn’t quite so thick even though Nebraska was still burrowed close.
Are you going to leave my side?
Then there you go. Why I’m calm.
She hadn’t lied. With me at her side she was calm.
The vibe in the room was all Anna.
The shock and longing—Nebraska.
The ugly regret and guilt—Anna.
“I know I didn’t do one thing to guide you to it, and God knows I didn’t earn the right to say it, but that doesn’t mean I’m any less happy that you found it.”
“Found what?” Nebraska asked.
“Your strength. Him. Being brave enough to give your trust to the man who holds your heart. To lean on him. To believe in him. To be strong even when you’re terrified. So I didn’t earn it, but baby girl, that doesn’t mean I’m not all kinds of happy you have a man who’s willing to do anything to protect you.”
I wasn’t sure I was at the point I cared that Anna obviously approved of me being at Nebraska side. However, I was pleased as fuck she gave her daughter something straight up good. But more, I was happy Nebraska got that from her mother. If nothing else, she’d always know her mother admired her strength.
So it sucked I had to break the moment, but the threat of an impending attack took precedence.
“What kind of deal did you make?”
“The kind that gave a very powerful man information he wanted in exchange for cutting a soldier loose.”
“There is no such information when it comes to the Bratva. Bond is bond to them. Nothing breaks that. Period. The end.”
“Bonds break quick when you watch a porno starring your enforcer and your wife.”
Yep.
That would do it.
“You’re positive there will be no blowback?”
“Absolutely not, seeing as I wasn’t the one who put a bullet in him. Unfortunately, that honor went to Dmitri’s boss, though he was kind enough to let me watch.”
Suddenly it dawned on me that we were speaking about Nebraska’s biological father and her back-from-the-dead mother killing him—she didn’t pull the trigger but the man died by her actions.
