“What’s wrong?” he taunts, still running his thumb back and forth. “Isn’t this what you always wanted?”
“No,” I beg, my voice barely above a whisper. “Not like this.”
He drops his hand and steps back, the loss achingly painful. “Don’t flatter yourself. I’m not here for your pussy.”
I wince at the coldness in his words. It reopens old wounds, and the bite it leaves makes me want to bite back. “Then what do you want? I can’t take back what’s already done, and you’re not going to believe anything I say anyway. So, if you’re not here to fuck me, then why do this?”
A slow, sadistic smile spreads across his face. “My cock will be well taken care of, don’t worry.”
His words rip a hole in me, sending callous bravado spilling out like water. “So you wasted a thousand dollars just to jerk off later?”
Niko absorbs my steeled barb, remaining dangerously calm. “My money wasn’t wasted. I paid to personally let you know I’m back. To get in that pretty little head of yours. To tell you how you’re the only thing I’ve thought about over the years. To remind you of your promise. But most of all, to make you fear me, Ava. To make you wonder which day will be the one I’ll come for you. Wonder when I’ll break you. Wonder when I’ll mindfuck you so hard, you’ll surrender your freedom, your tears, your obedience. Wonder which day I’ll finally let you in, and trust me, Ava, you don’t want in.” He takes a deep breath, his ruthless voice deceptively soft in my ear. “Because what lives inside is the monster you created.”
Neither of us move. I don’t think I even breathe as his lips barely trace the outer shell of my ear. The light touch holds a promise so strong it almost crushes me under its weight.
I don’t want to react. This man threatened to take everything from me. I should fight him with everything I have in me and scream for Blade. Instead, I lean into him, shamelessly pressing my body against his. An almost inhuman growl rumbles in his chest, and his free hand grips my hip, jerking me against his hardness. His body remains still, and I wonder if the underlying connection I always knew existed between us, the one that steadily grew into attraction, has overpowered the anger inside him. His lips slide from my ear to my neck, ghosting across my skin. It’s as if he thinks the moment they touch, we’ll poison each other.
Hell, maybe we will, but it doesn’t stop me from wanting it.
His chest heaves as I arch into him, and when I think he’s about to break, chaos erupts. Muffled shouts and familiar clipped voices filter in from outside the door, but I don’t react. It’s another police raid. They’ll get their handout, give Dmitry an obligatory slap on the wrist, and be on their way.
Like Niko said, greed will fuck an open wallet every time.
It only takes seconds for the commotion to die down, but that’s all Niko needs. As if pulled from a nightmare, he snaps his head up and pushes me away. My back slams against the wall, and the heat disappears between us as he storms toward the door. I’m so pissed, overwhelmed, and confused by what happened, I blurt out the only thing I can think of to say.
“You paid a thousand dollars for a whole hour. You still have forty-five minutes left.”
“Keep the change,” he growls, unlocking the door. Just before swinging it open, he glances over his shoulder and trails his glazed eyes down my body. “One more thing. I said I didn’t want your pussy. I don’t. Today. But eventually, you’ll give that to me too, pchelka. After all, a promise is a promise.”
The door slams behind him, and I sink to the floor, hugging my knees to my chest. I was drifting into the perfect storm before, but Niko hit the throttle and tossed us both right in the middle of the eye.
