I breathe more freely when Aleksandr steps out of the shadows.
“Oh, hello, honey,” I say brightly, raising my drink to him. It might be my heightened senses, but he looks twice their size and so damn sexy my heart does a little somersault in my chest. If I wasn’t passionately in love with him, I’d be terrified.
“Your wife hurt my friend,” Saul has the audacity to say, not backing down, his hand on my arm.
Oh you stupid, stupid man.
Aleks speaks calmly, but I am very familiar with that look in his eyes.
“Take your hand off my wife, Bianchi. Touch her again and you’ll lose that fucking hand.”
Aleks’s hand is still in his pocket as if he’s only having a casual conversation, but Saul releases me and steps back.
That’s right, you jerk. Touch me and die. He’ll kill you first, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll kill you second.
“I feel like shit,” his friend says, shaking his head. Saul’s eyes cut to him.
“Who gave you that drink?”
“Your sister.”
“You put something in that drink?”
I shrug innocently.
Aleks is right there, and if Saul touches me he’s dead, so I suppose it’s time.
“Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t. What would you know about roofies, Leonardo?”
“You motherfucking?—”
Aleks moves so fast he’s a blur and Leonardo’s on the ground, covering his face.
“What did I tell you about disrespecting my wife?” he asks in a placid voice. “Get up, you fucking pussy, and face her. You owe her this.”
Saul steps back and Marco only stares as Leonardo gets to his feet, shaking.
I glare at him. “I’ve confirmed your identity. I know who you are and what you’ve done. Your friend raped me at that party, Saul.”
Saul’s eyes widen. He didn’t know. I don’t know if that helps his situation or not.
My voice trembles, but it’s the only part of me that does.
“Prove it,” Leonardo says through bloodied fingers. Saul stares, his gaze furious, and Marco turns as if to run.
“Don’t move,” I say calmly. In one swift move, I take my gun out and cock it.
I go over my rules automatically.
Always act like your gun is loaded.
Check.
Never point at anything you aren’t willing to destroy.
Check.
Be aware of what’s behind the target.
