“Like you promised you were on birth control back in Kiev?”
“I was. I didn’t realize that an antibiotic for a sinus infection would counteract the fucking pill, you asshole.”
He shoves me back against the wall, his hand heavy against my chest. A rush of breath expels from my lungs. “Would you please stop shoving me around? I’m not a rag doll. I have fucking bones, and it hurts.”
“Your pain doesn’t mean shit to me. And you’re gonna experience plenty more of it, too. Get used to that feeling.”
My lips twist like I’ve just tasted curdled milk. “You really think you can get away with this? Killing me as retribution? You think my brothers won’t attack ag—?” I snap my mouth shut.
Shit. Now my own doubts are manifesting themselves, very inconveniently.
“Again?” he snaps, dragging the serrated edge of the knife over my pebbly skin. “Yeah. I do think they will. Ask me if I’m fucking scared.”
More ear-shattering cries and whines pierce the tense silence hanging over me like a guillotine blade ready to drop.
“She’s frightened.” I stare into eyes that look hauntingly similar to my daughter’s.
“She should be.”
I swallow hard, panicked plans of action wallpapering my mind like a series of dots that are impossible to connect. If I can just get around him, there’s a shred of a chance that I can make a grab for Hadeon’s gun.
But that’s a big “if.”
Danil already said he’s going to kill me, but something keeps him from jabbing me in the throat with that knife and leaving me for dead. That lack of action may be my only saving grace.
His feral gaze locks on my face, eyes pinning me to the wall like a frog pinned to a dissecting table.
I have nowhere to go, no way to escape what comes next.
What comes next…
His hulking body forms a human barricade around me. My eyes sweep over his corded neck, black swirls of ink peeking out of his shirt collar. The faint scent of sandalwood wafts under my nose. But instead of it making my stomach roil at the impending threat of death, it ignites embers of lust that had lain dormant since our night together.
And then the reason for his delay socks me in the gut with such force, I almost double over.
My knees wobble, horror snaking around my limbs.
He wants to fuck me?!
Maybe it’s a little presumptuous on my part, but why the heck else wouldn’t he have done the deed?
No…
Hell no.
Go. Just go now. Run like your life depends on it…because it does.
Heat pools between my legs, my body completely rejecting my mind’s protests.
Flashbacks pummel me like a novice surfer paddling into a tsunami, clouding the voices. The warmth and comfort of being wrapped in his arms, his muscular chest rippling as I rocked my hips against him, his long, thick cock stroking me deep as he fucked me against the large window overlooking the main road down below, the way he took total control of my mind, body, and soul.
He leans his hands on either side of the wall, blocking me in. A quick glance confirms the knife is now pressed to the drywall. My pulse slams hard, breathing stilted.
It’s now or never.
I duck and weave around his inked bicep, leaping onto the bed. I have to get that gun. I claw at the comforter to pull me across the mattress. Scrambling toward the edge, I hear a loud clang, clinging to the hope that maybe, just maybe, he dropped the knife.
Danil grunts, diving on top of me just before I manage to tumble over the edge of the bed. He snakes an arm around my waist and flips me onto my back.
