“Do you want to come?” His breath skated over my ear.
“Sì!”
“Then move,” he growled.
Lucca wasn’t going to help, and I didn’t know what caused my hips to obey his order, but maybe it was the thought of having free rein to fuck him fast, slow, or deeply. HoweverIwanted to. But slow wasn’t going to get me off, not now. Not while the cabin heated and sex swirled inside. Not while my crazy still gripped me tightly and death waved from afar.
I wiggled, splitting the dress further up to find the leverage to move in such a confined space. I ignored the burn coming from my muscles, the cuts, and the ache of each breath. I omitted everything if only to feel him close, to have this moment with him.
I rode Lucca while he rode over Miami’s streets at high speeds.
Fast, messy…crazily.

LUCCA
Katia wasn’t justgood with a knife, Katia had mastered the skill of manipulating a blade. The bastard who died under her hands spoke its truth. Even with an injured wrist and bruised body, she continued as if it was in her nature.
Her eyes were vacant when I’d found her sitting in pools of blood, covered in sweat and gore. The scene had never bothered me if it wasn’t for seeingherin it. If it wasn’t for the paralyzing dread of thinking it washerblood.
The sight of her grim appearance had violently rendered me into a spiral madness. A fucking rage I couldn’t contain but tried to control. And in those savage minutes, I’d only made it through by keeping my gaze strictly into the life that swirled in her shining emeralds.
The one thing that reminded me that even while they were lost, she was still here withme.
And while she’d admitted to killing another man before, I’d placed her in a situation where she had to take another. By doing so, I had taken a piece of her I had never intended. Because while I had wanted to break her, use her, I’d never meant for her andDeathto be acquaintances.
That was something for me and my demon to bear.
Katia laid her head on my shoulder after coming hard over me. She never moved away, and I didn’t push her. Somehow, her weight calmed my heartbeat. And her warmth reassured me of her existence.
I ran my hand across her messy hair as her adrenaline washed away in rapid currents, leaving her exhausted and jaded. My little deceitful creature was losing the fight as her frame molded deeper against mine.
“We are here.”
Katia hummed but didn’t sway an inch. We stayed in the silence and the darkness for a while longer. But the quiet didn’t bring me peace. I thought of what Arlo had found, what Ilias knew, and what Viktor saw. I thought of my next move in grave detail and the city I would soak in crimson.
“Lucca.”
Katia tore me away from the slaughter in my mind, and I placed my heavy hand on her back.
“I don’t think I can make it upstairs.”
Fuck, the sorrow in her voice stung, knowing she felt ashamed by her admission.
I battled between what I wanted to do and what Ishoulddo. What was okay and how far I was willing to give.IfI even could.
I took care of those I cared for, and never in such a way. It was always from afar while moving pieces for their future, for their safety.
I didn’t know what to say, so I didn’t utter a word.
Pulling her bottom higher, I buckled my pants and opened the door. I tried not to embrace what I was doing. How was I going to carry her up as a lover would? Instead I focused on staying steady and maneuvering her body and legs around my sides.
When I took the first step onto the stone entry, her hand wrapped against my neck and her fingernails curled behind my head. Slow and tender, her fingers thanked me, and I clenched my jaw to the shudder that crept.
I wrestled between asking her to stop and giving her what she needed. I didn’t want to fight. I didn’t want to talk. Not now, so for this moment, I let her win.
The front door opened wide, and my gaze snapped over to my brother, who kept Wex and Vino by his side. Viktor’s hair was a mess, and his face was without color. Stony blue eyes held mine in chaos, then fell onto her. He could only see the back of her hair, and his lips curled by not confirming what he’d seen on the screen. While he didn’t have eyes inside the bathroom, Viktor had watched every step we took out of the manor.
