“She’s rough,” he answers, sounding just as afraid of Natalya as he is me. I can hear Drago chuckling on the other end.
“She’s my queen and Drago Romanov’s daughter. Expect no less.”
I end the call with both of them intentionally. It’s childish, but he dared flaunt my woman in front of other men as if they had a chance and that burns deep in my gut.
He calls back a minute later. “Are you done with your tantrum?”
“Signal lost. I’m on a plane, after all. Would you like the location of the safe house?”
“I’m surprised you’d even consider letting me in.”
“Letting you?” I scoff because this fucker could storm in if he wanted. He’s only gotten sharper with age.
“Send the coordinates and we’ll talk later.”
“Will do.” I end the call and wait five minutes before sending the location. He’ll be a few minutes behind me, so I’ll have some time with my wily bride-to-be.
Chapter Ten
Ilya
It takes another half hour for my pilot and I to get into the helicopter. Soon we’re up in the air, and shortly we land on the property where my guards are waiting with my little devil-queen, bound up.
Ivan stands outside, watching the perimeter nearby with a scowl and his hand bandaged. I nod and then continue to the entrance. Piotr stands outside the door and says, “She bit him.”
“Oh. Damn. I better stand at a good distance.”
“I would if I was you, boss.” He opens the door and there she is bound to a chair in the middle of the room, looking feisty and gorgeous as ever. There aren’t any marks on my woman except probably where she’s actively trying to free herself from her ropes.
“Well, hello, princess.”
Her head lifts and her eyes meet mine with fire in those stunning blues. “You,” she hisses, attempting to tug herself free. “You did this to me.”
“I didn’t do this to you. You did this to yourself. If you’d just kept your pretty ass in bed like the dutiful wife you’re supposed to be, then you’d be perfectly fine. Now your father’s on his way, and he and I are going to have to straighten your ass out.”
“What? Me? You have some motherfucking audacity.”
“Princess, I like your filthy mouth in bed, but here, it’s not so nice.” I wag my finger at her but not so close to her pretty, fierce mouth.
“You betrayed me, and you think I give a fuck what you like or care to be nice,” she says, spitting at my feet in pure disgust.
“Leave us,” I bark out to my men. I still refuse to let my little snow tiger go free because she’s going to unleash those claws and I’m her kill.
I walk up to her, press my hand on the back of her chair, lean down, and stare into her gorgeous eyes. “Now, do you care to explain how I betrayed us?”
“You were at a strip club on my birthday getting your dick hard, and that’s why you ended up shot.” Behind the venom in her words are the unshed tears in her eyes.
I grab her face, pinching her cheeks. “Watch your mouth, little girl, because those lies are going to get you punished.” Letting go, I take a step back and run my hands through my hair.
“First off, I wasn’t at the strip club on your birthday; it was a few days before, and it wasn’t to get horny. Thinking about you does a good job of stiffening my dick,
I admitted just as the door opened.
“Whoa. Hold the fuck up. Don’t make me kill you.” Fuck. I should have told them not to let Drago in until I was prepared, but then again, he might have come in guns blazing.
“Godfather,” I say, feeling the slightest bit of embarrassment and a hint of fear. This man taught me how to kill and how to do it well.
“Daddy,” Natalya calls out like a sweet little innocent princess instead of the little pit viper who was just spitting venom and biting.
