“I’m serious,moya zhena. You’re perfect. Your body has never looked sexier. Why do you think I can’t keep my hands off of you?
Her forehead furrows. “So… you still find me attractive?”
“Did you just miss the last half hour?” I ask, gesturing to our naked bodies and the mangled bedding. “Even when I’m pissed at you, I’m so fucking turned on by you that I can’t stay away.”
“That’s right,” she says like it just occurred to her. “I was mad at you when I walked in here.”
I sigh. My mother’s words from earlier are still echoing in my head. “I’m not used to having a partner, Paige. It’s not natural for me to share certain things with you. I also don’t want to stress you out.”
“You know what stressed me out? Walking out there and seeing you surrounded by three scary-looking monsters.”
“I know; I just didn’t want you anywhere near them. They’re bad men, the Babai. Dangerous men.”
“The Babai?” she repeats, testing the unfamiliar word on her tongue.
I nod. “They’re mercenaries, of a sort. Guns for hire, the most powerful guns you can get, and dangerous in the wrong hands—but they follow a code. There are rules they must abide by.”
“Is that why you went to them? Because of their code?”
“I like people who stick to their word.”
She considers that for a moment. “What I’m hearing is that you hired assassins. Assassins who know where we live and can get onto the property uninvited. Is that the gist?”
I groan. “I should have found myself an idiot to marry. She would have been so much easier to deal with.”
“True,” Paige agrees. “But you wouldn’t have been as happy.”
That strikes me somewhere between the head and the chest. Happy? Is that what I am right now? If I could forget the small problem of Petyr Ivanov and the Babai, then maybe I could consider myself happy.
But I can’t.
“Right?” Paige trails her fingers across my cheek.
“Right,” I agree. “Right.”
She smiles again. “Should we be worried about these guys? The Babai?”
I kiss her temple. “I’ll keep you safe, Paige. Trust me.”
“I do trust you,” she says. “I just don’t trust anybody else.”
“Now, you’re starting to get it.”

PAIGE
I wake Misha up the next morning with his cock in my mouth.
His hips move before his eyes even open, shallow thrusts seeking out the unexpected pleasure. But then he is wide awake, his hand on the back of my head while he fucks my mouth.
“D-don’t…” he groans, fisting my hair in his hand. “Don’t fucking stop.”
And I don’t.
Not until he spills into my mouth, and I’ve swallowed every drop.
Afterward, I lie on the sofa bed with Misha’s head in my lap. I run my fingers through his hair without a single thought in my mind.
