“It wasn’t meant to.”

“Vik…”

“I got to go. But please, don’t do anything stupid tonight.”

“Define stupid,” I replied, trying to ease his mind. It didn’t.

“Fuck off, Ilias,” Viktor said before the call disconnected.

With a light chuckle, I placed my phone back in my pocket.

“Ilias.”

I heard Lucca’s voice calling my name. Turning around, he stood at the end of the steps, and I made my way toward him.

“You should go and spend the remaining time left with Davina and get ready. Come back down with her in your arms ten minutes after nine,” he instructed.

I didn’t question him. “See you then.” And I left to meet the girl that not only turned my life upside down but the underworld’s too.

“Are you sure we have to go?”

I watched Davina’s large eyes as they filled with concern.

Unable to keep my touch away, I pulled her body toward mine. My hand cupped her neck as my thumb ran over her jawline. Heat rushed to her cheeks as they pinked, and her mouth parted from the feel of my hands on her.

The room still held the floral fragrance from her bath, and the deeper I inhaled, the richer her scent became, clearing my mind.

“Did I mention you look stunning?” I asked, taking a step back and letting my eyes roam down her body.

The deep green dress complimented her fair skin and dipped in all the right places, making it difficult to steer my eyes away from her. Her hair was up in a soft twist, and only a few strands had fallen from the updo, taunting as they kissed her bare collar bone. I was surprised when I noticed her scar sitting proudly and unhidden, but more than surprised, it rendered me speechless.

She was going to walk into a den with the same man that almost took her life, without showing how it's affected her. She was going to walk with her head raised high and with the spirit only a survivor of pain ever could.

She was my woman, and fuck did her strength only add more to the ways my heart beat for her.

Returning my gaze to her, her long lashes fluttered, and her make up highlighted her features in a delicate taste. Her lips had a chocolate touch of color, and I ran my thumb against them to test how resistant the stain was on her plump lips.

When not a smudge was visible, I wondered how long it would take to change their color to a deep fuck-me red with just my mouth and tongue.

“After this is over, I will ravish your body,” my lips whispered inches away from her eager mouth.

“Why not now?” she whispered, dampening her lips with her tongue.

Fuck me. Davina had me hard and thinking of ways I could release the tension that kept climbing just minutes before we needed to go.

“Kroshka,” I warned.

“Yeah?” she taunted, using her teeth to nip my bottom lip.

She was distracting me, and I struggled to focus on the reason why we had to leave.

“You said we had to make our way downstairs at nine-ten.” Her palm slid over my white shirt as her nails scratched through the material, firing my need. “There’s still ten minutes left,” she baited.

“Ten minutes is not enough.” I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath and a step away.

The small distance I’d taken was erased as she leaned forward, trapping my lips to hers. The kiss was slow and gentle. Something we rarely did as our hunger and desire always won with intensity.

Her lips fell away from mine as they trailed down my neck. My dick twitched as her lips toyed my skin. But when her body fell to the ground, knees on the hard floors, fuck-eyes peering up at me, and hands quickly working my belt buckle, I had no restraint or will to walk away.
