He grabs my hips and pulls me closer so I’m standing between his legs. I reach up and run my hands through his dark hair as he wraps his arms around me so our bodies are touching. With a groan, he brings his face to my neck and kisses the spot behind my ear that he knows drives me crazy.

“I won’t be able to tolerate them looking at you,malishka.They don’t get to see your face. They don’t deserve to die with your beautiful face being the last thing they see. That’s an honor they don’t deserve.”

I wrap my arms around his neck and hug him tightly. “Are you sure this will be okay? I don’t want to get in the way or anything.”

He pulls back enough so I can see his face, and the scowl he’s wearing makes me laugh. I kiss the tensed-up skin between his dark brows.

“You will never be in the way, Alina. I always want you with me. I’m not crazy about bringing you to the auction, but that’s just because Idon’t want you anywhere near this shit. I’m also a little worried about how this might affect you.”

He turns his head to kiss the wrist that’s still healing. The stitches haven’t come out yet, and I’m no longer wearing a bandage, so it’s not a pretty sight.

“I don’t ever want to do something that makes things harder for you. Promise me you’ll tell me if it’s too much.” His dark eyes meet mine. “We don’t have to do this.Youdon’t have to do this.”

I smile and cup his face, leaning down so I can kiss him. “But I want to,” I whisper against his lips.

With one arm wrapped firmly around my waist and the other cupping the back of my head, he kisses me slowly, sucking my bottom lip into his mouth and pulling a groan from my body as he slides his tongue in to meet mine. Nothing else matters when Matvey’s mouth is on mine. He makes everything else fade away. I can’t even hear Konstantin’s taunts and cruel words. With each day, his voice gets softer while Matvey’s gets louder. Instead ofyou’re a pathetic whore who doesn’t deserve to eat, I hearyou’re so beautiful, malishka, the most precious thing I’ve ever touched.

Deepening the kiss, he pulls me into his lap so I’m straddling him. His hand gently fists my hair while he devours my mouth, turning me into a whimpering, shaking mess. I feel the hard length of him beneath me, and I can’t resist grinding against it.

“Fuck,” he growls, giving my lip a soft bite. “You have no idea what you do to me.”

“The same thing you do to me, I’m guessing.” I smile and slide my tongue between his lips, eager for one more taste. By the time we part, both of us are breathless, and we’re both wanting more, and I can’t for the life of me figure out why I’m holding back. I want Matvey. I’ve always wanted him, and I want to know what it’s like to be with him, to be with someone that I want to be with instead of someone I was forced to be with.

“Matvey,” I whisper. He hears the longing in my voice and groans.Wrapping me in a tighter hug, he kisses me once more, gentler and sweeter and so fucking perfect.

“I know, baby,” he murmurs against my lips. “Soon, I promise.”

I nod, staying in his lap while he hugs me and we both get ourselves under control. Finn is lying on his bed, chewing on a bone and pretending he’s not watching our every move. In the short time we’ve had him, I’ve completely fallen in love with the German Shepherd, and I can’t imagine not having him in our lives.

“You still want to do this?”

“Yes.” I kiss him again and take a deep, steadying breath. “I’m ready.”

The others are waiting for us in the kitchen, and when my brother sees me in my all-black outfit, he sighs and shakes his head.

“I can’t say I’m a big fan of this idea.”

I give my brother a hug. “I’ll be fine. I’m not leaving Matvey’s side, and you’ll all be there with me.” When he still doesn’t look convinced, I say, “I need this, Roman. I can’t keep going on like this. The therapy is great and Matvey’s been amazing, but, I don’t know.” I shake my head and keep my voice low so only he can hear. “I need more. I need to feel like I’m in control of something again.”

My brother’s face softens as he pulls me in for another hug. “I get it, Alina. Believe me, I do, and I’ll support whatever you feel you need to do.”

“Thanks, big brother.”

He smiles and kisses my head before releasing me. “Always, little sis.”

“Looking good, Alina.” I turn my head to see Vitaly grinning at me. “You ready to kill some sick fucks?”

“I’m kind of jealous,” Emily says, rubbing her belly with a sigh.

“God, me too,” Simona says.

“Me three,” Jolene says from beside Lev.

Katya looks at Vitaly. “Yeah, we’ll just stay here and be pregnant, I guess.”

Vitaly laughs and kisses his wife’s cheek. “That’s my girl. You stayhere and keep your beautiful ass safe, and I’ll make sure you’re always pregnant.”

She starts to say something, but he just kisses her into silence and smacks her ass. When he’s satisfied, he pulls back and looks over at us. “So, are we taking the minivan tonight?”
