They catch it.

My breath hitches in my throat as my eyes widen in pure shock.

I blink once. Twice. So many times after, hoping I didn’t just hallucinate this whole thing all because of my late medical dose from earlier.

“Am I hallucinating?” I ask in hopes this isn’t just a fucked-up dream. “Because if it’s not, I’m saying this here and now.”

I have to pause and admire the breathless individual from head to toe.

Extremely long silver locks. Pale porcelain flesh complemented the leather ensemble of black tights and combat boots. A dark red bralette that bandages around her medium-sized breasts makes me quenched with thirst.

To suck those pebble nips until they match the shade of her dark cherry red lips that have the perfect matte finish.

What seals the deal are her eyes.

Stunning,ferocious shades of smoky teal that are filled with so much sinister fury, I’m fighting for breath.

Yet my declaration needs to be said.

“I’m fucking in love.”

Love at first sight is absolute bullshit.

I’ve told myself since my childhood, it was all phony projections of emotional instability used to fabricate two individuals coming together to fuck and emphasize a ‘connection’ of convenience.

Father said he saw my mother once and knew she’d be his.

Absolutely bullshit.

Yet, here I stand, professing my love for a woman who just plunged into this room and caught my knife that I shot from 10’.

“Who the fuck are you?” Dom demands with a jerk movement until he takes a single step and stills entirely.

Again.

“Domino,” Ares prompts because he notices what I do.

Our Ruthless Ruler is acting like a dysfunctional wimp.

“You…” The feminine sound of this woman’s voice makes my cock harden in seconds.

Literally seconds.

Then those captivating eyes proceed to narrow while a whirlwind of emotions dances in the darkened depths of her pupils. There’s recognition there, but that’s the icing on the cake because every hair in my arm rises in urgency.

A second too late.

It’s one of the first times I’m allowing myself to accept a miscalculation on my part. Even as I push off the rail I’ve been sitting upon to drop to the ground only a few short steps from Dom.

That mistake may cost my best friend his life.

All thanks to this mysterious maiden who sends the blade right back where it came from.

At me, with Domino right in the middle.

It’s the first time I fear we’ve met our ruthless match.

A Queen amid a board of pawns.
