Dimitri

As soon as we know that the Triad is involved, I’m ready to go save them. We know where to start. I have the SUV waiting out in front of the restaurant. Andrei jumps into the back, and I slam the car into drive. The back passenger door is opened before I can take off, and Andrei has a gun aimed at Bronwyn’s face.

After I watched the footage, I knew it was time to make my move. I’ve watched Lennon from afar for weeks now. I knew I wanted her. Now that she’s in danger from not only the Triad but my own people too, I need to act. She took the boss’s intended. That’s grounds for death. It shows I need to step up and take control. It’s time that my littlekukla, my doll, found out she needs a Master who will control her.

“They are my daughters. I’ll be there with you. I know Lennon is a bit headstrong, but she wouldn’t have put her sister in danger on purpose.” The way Bronwyn talks about Lennon proves what I already thought. He’s not really a part of her life as much as he should be.

“She didn’t.” I defend her. This is the first step in my taking over her life. Of me showing her she needs my control. “She didn’t expect the guy helping her to have a gun on him. There was a struggle, and she shot him with it when he tried to assault her and cop a feel on Sparrow,” I offer.

I’ve watched the video over and over, examining every part of it. I know Lennon thinks she’s being the protective big sister. She has no clue Andrei and Sparrow have been seeing each other for months and not just the couple of weeks since the rescue.

“I’ll kill him,” both Andrei and Bronwyn say.

They’ll have to stand in line. I get Daron first. That asshole thought he could put his lips on my woman. She doesn’t know it yet, but she is mine.

We head across town to the Triad restaurant. Bronwyn waits in the car because he’s trying to keep his hands clean for his casino. I don’t completely agree with his decision. There should be nothing more important than his girls.

Mikhail opens the door, and I step inside first. Immediately, everyone goes silent. As we move across the room with Andrei between Mikhail and me, people start to get up and leave. They know who we are and what is about to happen.

A man gets up and moves toward us. I don’t think, I just react. My hand is up the back of my jacket, pulling my long tanto knife free. I arc it through the air and slice the man across the chest. He falls back, and people jump up from their seats. Mikhail pulls his Sig MPX submachine gun. He lets off a burst in the air, shattering glass overhead. The man remaining at the table stares us down.

“Where is my woman?” Andrei demands.

“Did you lose her?” The idiot I cut chuckles and groans from the floor. I lift my booted foot and slam it down on his hand.

“Mr. Morosov asked a question,” I growl. My voice is so deep from my emotion.

“We don’t have her,” the Triad boss, or Chairman as they call him, says from the table.

“McCall took her and her sister. I want them back.”

“He didn’t tell us where he stashed them. But they were promised to two of my generals.”

“They are under my protection. One is my intended, and the other is her sister.”

“So, she is free, then,” the idiot on the floor says, holding his broken hand against his chest.

I kick him again, in the face this time. Then my boot connects with his bloody chest and stomach.

“They are both spoken for.” I don’t clarify.

“You’ll have to confirm that with McCall,” their boss says, and Andrei chuckles deep and dark.

“I’ll kill any man who touches my woman.”

“Hmm,” he says as he nods. “They went toward the Red Rocks.”

As we turn, a man comes out of the back. He has blood on him and he’s cleaning his hands. I look toward Andrei, who nods. I pull one of my Desert Eagles from my chest holster and fire at the guy’s knee. He drops and I move toward him.

“Where are they?”

“Red Rock Canyon.” He doesn’t need clarification as to who we’re talking about. “I left McCall with them. He was going to rape the one and had me call the broker in Hong Kong for the other.”

I spin and kick him, knocking him out. He’s lucky I controlled the kick. I could have snapped his neck by the force of it.

I move behind Andrei and Mikhail, taking up the rear this time. We return to our vehicle and head out toward Red Rock. We are almost there when Andrei’s phone rings.

“Where are you,ptitsa?” he growls in greeting with his phone on speaker.
