Kozlov turned.
God, she needed to distract him. She stood. “Dinner smells good.”
He smiled at her. “Da. You’re hungry?”
“And thirsty.” She circled the table and blocked his view of the phone. “Can I have some water?”
He eyed her for a second. Could he hear her heart pounding?
He opened a cabinet and took out a glass. He poured her a drink of water and came straight to her. “Here,milaya.”
“Thanks.”Please, let the phone have gone dark. She sipped the water, trying to look calm.
Kozlov eyed her for a second. “Sit.”
With a shaky breath, she shifted. When she glanced down at the table, the phone screen was dark.
She released a slightly shaky breath.
“Adaline.” He grabbed her arm and her heartrate spiked. “You are so beautiful.” He cupped the side of her face and she tensed. “You will love me.”
“That’s not how love works, Ilya,” she said.
Kozlov’s smile evaporated, a groove forming in his brow. His fingers tightened on her skin until they hurt. She gasped.
“Iwillmake you love me.” He lowered his head.
She tried to jerk back, but he held her tighter. She didn’t want to kiss him. “Stop!”
“Never.” His mouth hit the corner of hers. She felt his tongue on her skin. “I will show you how good we can be.”
A sob escaped her, and she shoved at him.
They scuffled, bumping into the kitchen counter. His mouth moved across her cheek, his fingers digging into her hip.
“Tonight, I will have you naked.” He bit the side of her neck.
God, no. Her pulse galloped. She didn’t want him touching her. She only wanted Bram.
“I like it rough,milaya. You can handle me. Maybe it will solve the problem of another man’s babies inside you.”
Bile filled her mouth. He wasn’t ever going to hurt her babies. She wouldn’t let him.
Her hands moved against the counter, looking for something she could use to fend him off. Her fingers closed on the handle of an empty frypan that he hadn’t used. It was heavy, made of cast iron.
He pulled her closer and she grimaced. She felt his hard erection grind against her stomach.
No.
She hefted the frypan and swung it at his head.
It connected with a sickening crunch. His head lifted, and their gazes met for a horrifying second, then he collapsed.
He hit the floor with a thump.
Shit, shit, shit.
She set the pan down and stepped over him. She raced to the bedroom and found her shoes. She pulled them on, hopping a little, then she sprinted to the front door.
