“We’re going over to your house to tell your annoying brothers that we’re together now. That way, they and your father will stop trying to set you up on any more ridiculous dates with rich assholes.”

She stops, her mouth slightly open as if she had been about to protest. Then she tips her head to the side, considering.

I pull out a pair of boxers and put them on while she finishes thinking this through.

“You’re right,” she says at last. Meeting my gaze, she gives me a firm nod. “Let’s do it tonight. But maybe we should take a shower first?”

A wicked grin spreads across my lips as I stride back to her. Sliding my fingers into her hair, I tilt her head back and claim her mouth with a possessive kiss.

“No,” I say, grinning against her lips. “I want my cock still covered in your wetness when I lay my claim on you in front of your brothers.”

Once we have gotten dressed, and Alina has taken a shower, we make our way across the darkened residential area and towards her house. Loud music from Lefevere’s party still thumps through the warm night air.

Alina is once more wearing that stunning purple dress that she had planned to wear to the party. But since I cut her panties off with my knife, she is now without underwear. She might have showered to get my cum off her before we meet her brothers, but the fact that she has no panties on makes up for that.

Dread and worry flicker in Alina’s eyes as we at last reach her house and come to a halt in front of the door.

“Just try not to…” she begins and then glances around as if searching for the right word. Eventually, she finishes with, “Hurt anyone.”

Amusement ripples through me, but I motion down towards my body, which is devoid of weapons. At Alina’s request, I left all of my knives at home.

She lets out a huff and shoots me a knowing look. “As if you need your knives to be deadly.”

I just flash her one of those smiles that my brothers call a psychopath smile.

Rolling her eyes, she gives my chest a shove in annoyance. But it seems to have the desired effect, because most of her nervousness disappears as she then draws in a deep breath and squares her shoulders.

Then she at last pushes down the handle and opens the front door.

The sound of voices immediately drifts down the hallway. I follow Alina as she walks across the threshold. After closing the front door behind us, we move down the hall and towards the doorway that leads into their kitchen.

Warm light spills out across the threshold, and the sound of an intense discussion gets stronger. I can hear all four Petrov men as we close the distance to the doorway.

Amusement pulses through me when I focus on what they’re saying and realize that they’re discussing ways to take me down.

This should be fun.

Alina shoots me a pleading look, to which I reply with an innocent shrug, and then we’re walking across the threshold and into the kitchen.

Warm light from the lamps in the ceiling illuminates the pale room and glints against the stainless steel of the kitchen appliances. A few empty bottles of alcohol cover some of the otherwise spotless marble countertops, but most of the bottles are still on the table.

I study it.

Mikhail sits at the head of the table, with Anton to his right and Maksim to his left. Konstantin sits on Maksim’s other side. All four of them are fully engrossed in their discussion, and most of them have their eyebrows drawn in frustration.

Alina clears her throat.

“You’re back,” Anton says, as he and the others start turning their heads towards the doorway. “Was the party—”

Shock pulses across their faces, and all four of them shoot up from their seats.

“Get the fuck away from her,” Mikhail snaps as he shoves his chair aside and lunges for me.

But he has obviously been drinking quite heavily because I easily sidestep his clumsy attack.

“No, wait!” Alina calls as her cousins descend on me as well.

Ramming an elbow into Maksim’s stomach, I duck under Konstantin’s fist and then straighten in time to block Anton’s kick to my side.
