Since the day I met her, my carefully constructed vengeance plans had taken a major hit. I always knew the day would come when Sokolov would come for her. I just never thought I would care enough that I’d rather force her into a marriage with me than let him take her.
Liar.
The darkness inside me whispered, it hissed that blatant untruth in my mind. Perhaps a part of me had aways known I could never let her go. Maybe that was the reason I had agreed to her mother’s demand to take a blood vow to protect her daughter.
If necessary, I would protect her from herself. Especially when that involved her insane driving skills. Which had been another issue on my mind I’d been meaning to take care of without coming across as a dominant asshole.
“I bet they will find her within three months,” I stated, putting out the bait.
She glowered, a clear sign that she was about to butt heads with me because her feminist side was going all haywire. Not only was my Katya smart and sexy as hell, in another life she would have led the suffragettes.
“You couldn’t be more wrong,” she said sweetly. “Onyx lives on a whole different level than those guys. I mean, I love the twins, and normally I don’t think there’s anyone Damon couldn’t track down, but let’s be realistic here. It’s been nearly a year and they still haven’t caught her. Do you know why?”
I knew it was a rhetorical question but answered it anyway. “Because she wasn’t their top priority.” Because first and foremost, their loyalty lay with the Bratva, and I needed them focusing on the business since I was so distracted by taking the senator out. Not traipsing around the globe after a hacker who would eventually return to the US anyway. I had it on good authority that the waters in the Asia-Pacific region were getting too hot for her.
Katya dismissively waived a hand. “I’m sure that’s how they are spinning it, but the truth of the matter is, Onyx is just too good. She’s like a female James Bond with mad hacking skills. She’s Lisbeth Salander. Onyx is like Queen Elizabeth I. She has but one mistress and no master.”
I nodded, agreeing with her so as not to raise any suspicion with my woman. She had her ‘we against them’ look on her face, making me believe she would warn her new-found hacker idol if she even got a whiff of the things the twins had planned for Onyx.
“I still bet they will have her on her knees within three months,” I said casually.
Katya huffed. “I’ll take that bet.”
“Anything you like, against your Veyron.” I’d had my eye on that car for ages, and Angel had given it to Katya. I didn’t want it for my collection per se, I just didn’t want her driving that four-wheeled weapon, with her insane driving skills.
Her eyes narrowed. “Anything?”
“Almost anything,” I amended. “Within reason, of course.” Her freedom from me was not within reason, ever. Even thatthought sparked a dark fury inside me. I took a deep breath to rein that particular demon back in, putting him in chains.
“Fine,” she said, her voice cocky. She placed her hands on my chest. My heart skipped a beat when her purple nails brushed my cheek.
“I know what you’re doing,” she said softly.
I pulled her against my rock-hard dick. That’s what this woman did to me.
“And what’s that?”
She rolled her eyes. “You don’t want me driving that car.”
“What makes you think that? Is it the three speeding tickets you’ve collected over the past month?”
“Um…” She kissed my cheek, trying to distract me.
“Perhaps it was the test drive we had in the McLaren when we almost ended up smashed into a wall?”
She backed away from me, looking affronted, but I clasped my hands onto her hips to keep her in place.
“Or maybe it was when you had a race with some douche bag who just happened to stop right next to you at a red light?”
“Hey! How did you find out about that?”
She still didn’t get it. I always had eyes on her because she was my whole damn life. I wasn’t going to let some cocky Fast-and-Furious wannabe go up against her and put her in danger.
“That Veyron is mine, Ekaterina.”
Just like she was.
