He’s hung up the phone when I get to the great room with the balcony that overlooks the water.
“You!”
He looks around, then scratches his blond head. “Me?”
“You.”
“I didn’t do it, you know.” Rush’s easy grin slides into the place, the one that makes women swoon. Pity it does nothing to me. “They let me go.”
“You tell me what Nikolai’s up to. Right now.”
“Niko’s not up to anything.” He stops. “I’m planning the bachelor party. What do you think of strippers?”
A bolt of desire rips through me as the memory of stripping for Niko surges forward. “No one will find your body.”
He laughs lightly. “I knew you were made for him. You look sweet, but—”
“Cut the crap.” I plant my hands on my hips and apply my Rush magic. He might be a killer, a mafia guy, bad in lots of ways, but good, too. He’s also got an ego, one he likes stroked, and he’s under the misapprehension all Niko needs to magically turn into a good man, a regular human, is the love of a good woman—me.
But Nikolai is Nikolai, and redemption isn’t want he wants. He is what he is and that’s enough. We balance each other out.
So, I lean into Rush’s pipe dreams and ego. “You’re smart. You know that if I leave, he’ll turn blacker than before.”
“You’re not gonna leave him.”
“He told me most of it, but I can’t save him if I don’t know.”
He sighs. “All he said, Rose, is that he’s planning to bring down an enemy who wants to get to him through you, to destroy his empire. Let him do his thing.”
“And that’s all he’s going to fucking tell you, Rose,” Nikolai says from behind me, the hairs on my body rising with his close proximity.
I spin to face him. “I have to ask others—you don’t tell me anything.”
“And I’m not going to.” His expression gives me nothing. “Come on, time to get ready. We have a party to get to.”

Nikolai stands behind me and does up my insanely ornate black dress. He smooths my hair from my neck and runs his lips along my skin, making me shiver and moan from the heated caress.
“You look like a gothic sex goddess from another time.”
The dress is tied in the back and front, the skirt sweeping the ground at the back, the front rising to above my knees. My legs are encased in black lace stockings with dark red, lace up shoes on my feet.
The bodice is tight, almost too tight. Nikolai knows exactly what he’s doing as he ties me into it. The top dips between my breasts, pushed up by underwire built into the dress.
And Nikolai…
He’s in the darkest burgundy red, three-piece suit, black shirt and tie. His thumb ring is rubies set in white gold, and next to me, he looks like my other half.
He ties a thick velvet ribbon of the same color as his suit around my throat.
Then, he smiles wickedly and drops to his knees in front of me. It’s not much of an effort for him to raise my skirt, and he presses his open mouth against my pussy, licking and sucking my clit over my panties.
He pulls back the red lace. “You’re so red and swollen, ready for me.”
There’s a chair near us with two ornate masquerade masks, and he reaches over to pull something out from under them.
My breath catches at the sight of the dildo and the butt plug. It’s like the dildo he used on me the other night in the strip club, but it’s shorter, in a weird shape.
