I tried to pull myself away from him as the sensation was overwhelming, but he only gripped me tighter. There was no way out. Davorin wasn’t allowing me to move an inch, and not once did he pause.
Our eyes locked, and it was the most salacious scene I’d ever seen Davorin in, the fire in his deep gaze, the need to bring me over the edge growing with each passing second. There was no coming back from this, and no matter how much I tried to deny it, I was loving every moment of it.
I was breathless, and he was breathtaking.
Time seemed to stop, and when he began to pump his fingers in and out with a violent tempo, my moans grew louder. He was doing all the right things at the right pace, and it didn’t take me long to reach my climax.
I came crashing down in waves, my voice hoarse. He was drinking up everything I had to offer, looking at me from under his long thick eyelashes the whole time. I was struggling to breathe, and he grinned.
“This might be the worst decision of your life, little lion,” he breathed. “I’m addicted, and there’s no escaping me now.”

“WHAT do you think about this one?” Tiana asked me, holding up a sweater.
It was a cropped black sweater with little sequins around the neckline. I paused to think. Although it was something I’d never purchase, it fit Tiana’s style and personality. I gave her a nod of approval and she placed it in her basket.
“It would look good on you,” I commented. “How have you been?”
We hadn’t seen each other in a while. Although I liked her, the distance between us was necessary. At times, she could be clingy or annoying, and it wasn’t something I liked to deal with. Though now we finally had topics to talk about that didn’t involve her trying to pry into my family’s history.
She swallowed, nervousness flickering in her eyes, and placed another few items in her basket. I wasn’t in the mood to shop; nor did I have the patience to try anything on. It was tiring, and it was an awful day outside, which made me slightly moodier.
A low sigh came from Tiana. “I’ve been doing all right.”
My eyes narrowed at the blatant lie. She rolled her eyes as we walked towards the cashier and corrected herself. “I mean, as well as I possibly can after what happened.”
She was still hung up on Luca’s death? That had been weeks ago, and I’d completely forgotten he’d even existed.
“And I’ve kept in touch with Nick all this time,” she said when I failed to reply.
“Why?” I asked, genuinely curious.
Tiana blinked, but before she could answer, we reached the front of the line. She paid for her items, and we decided to go to a small bakery down the street, as it was fairly early in the morning and neither of us had eaten breakfast yet.
“Well, I felt a little bit guilty, you know?” she said once we’d started walking. “I know it wasn’t my fault, but I chose that restaurant. And Nick had just lost someone he loved very much and he needed the support.”
“Oh, that definitely wasn’t your fault,” I told her, and she gave me a light smile. “And for what it’s worth, if you think keeping in touch with him will make you feel better, I’m all for it.”
Surprise laced her features. “You are?”
“I always put myself first—you should too. And if healing you means dealing with Nick, do it.”
“How can you still act as if nothing happened? A man lost his life and the murderer wasn’t caught.”
I tilted my head to the side. “By now, you should already know that I don’t care or want to know any details about anyone who isn’t of use to me.”
Tiana switched topics, clearly offended by the tone of my voice, which was unreasonable, but I decided not to press further. The day was already cold, and I didn’t have the strength to argue with her about how the whole Nick situation had been doomed from the start.
“Where have you been though? I haven’t heard from you in a while, and I was worried when you didn’t respond to my texts.”
I shrugged. “My brothers came to visit, and I’ve been preoccupied with them.”
Tiana nodded. “Are you going home? I think you mentioned once that they’d like for you to go home.”
A dry laugh came from me as we crossed the street. “No, that will never happen. I have a life here now, and going back would only complicate things for me.”
She didn’t press further. All she knew about my family was that they held positions of power, and that I’d rebelled. Tiana was an understanding person and didn’t ask a lot of questions. Though if she started digging, it wouldn’t be too hard for her to find out who my family was, and that would mean I’d have to kill her to keep her silent.
