“Yeah?” Giovanni’s husky voice whispers.

“How many?”

“Two as far as we can tell from the bloodbath we walked in on. We’re coming down now.”

“What?”

“Thor got to them first.”

My boy.

“You know his commands?”

“Yeah.”

“Bring him with you. Keep him silent,” I order before hanging up and nodding at Luca while taking the steps toward my office. Luca stands on one side of the closed door while I stand on the other. A pair of boxing gloves lay by the ring. I grab them and toss them at the door and wait as they slide down the wood to the floor. I watch the knob turn, the door crack open, and the top of his head peek out to see what the noise was before I grab hold of his hair, jerk him forward, and break his neck in one swift crack. I kick his body back into the office and close the door, hiding his body from any more of his men that may be down here.

“That’s four. Antonio and Giovanni are on their way down with Thor,” I inform him. “Kill the lights.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I’m going to get my girl.”

“Demetri, you’ll be going in blind.”

“I know my way around my room. He doesn’t.”

“I’m not letting you go in alone.”

“I’m not letting her hang there for a minute longer than she has to.”

I’m already walking down the tunnel before he finishes his sentence. The thought of her, vulnerable like that, makes me want to burn the world down.

I reach the closed door to my playroom. I can hear Nikolai talking but I can’t make out what he is saying. Just as the tunnel goes black, I open the door just a crack, hoping his senses are off from the sudden darkness and he doesn’t hear it.

“Looks like your husband has joined the party.” He clears his throat. “Excuse me. Your soon to be dead husband.”

When I hear Haven whimper, I stop myself from carelessly running into the room.

“You know you’re a dead man, right?” She huffs a painful laugh at him while catching her breath.

“Your husband is a weak man.”

“Then you know nothing about your brother, Nick.”

“Ah, yes. The night of the rave. You asked what my name was. You were so willing to dance with me. I could have bedded you that night if I had more time.”

“Never.”

“You were aroused.”

“It wasn’t because of you.”

“So fresh, moya krasota.”

“What does that mean?”

“Are you referring to, krasota?”
