Sephie is just a waitress trying to survive her late shifts, joking with her charming bartender friend Max and finding comfort in her kind neighbors. But once a month, she serves the city’s most dangerous crime bosses: a job that pays well but comes with risks. Tonight, as black SUVs arrive, she braces herself, unaware her life is about to change forever.
“Maybe, but you’ve got the demon eyes now. He had to have noticed when we talked to him last. It was obvious,” Stephen said. “He might’ve noticed, but he probably doesn’t believe his own eyes. People will talk themselves out of quite a bit if they can’t explain it. Just ask the nurse that thinks…
Ivan wrapped his giant arm gently around her shoulders, kissing the top of her head. They just stood there for a moment, until the acupuncturist asked another question. “You can feel him now, the same way you can feel your boyfriend, can’t you?” Sephie nodded, wiping her eyes. “It’s not as strong and it’s different,…
“You’re hungry again already, spider monkey?” Andrei said as he walked into the kitchen from downstairs, catching her eating again. “I didn’t eat for like two days. I have catching up to do. Leave me alone,” she said, turning so he couldn’t see her, but I could. She grinned at me, hoping she was making…
Sephie slept until lunchtime. The guys waited to get Vinny’s until it was closer to the time that the acupuncturist would be there, so Sephie could wake up and eat, then have her acupuncture soon after and didn’t have to try and stay awake again. Andrei also made sure that they ordered two sandwiches for…
After the shower, I helped her with her bra and panties, her pain level still at an inhuman level. She hadn’t realized yet that I could feel it. The more she tried to hide it from me, the more I could feel it. It was almost a game to me now. She saw me smirking…
Ivan’s phone beeped. He took it out, looking at the text. “The acupuncturist can be here this afternoon, princess.” “Good. Did you tell her you need it too?” I asked. “I did not,” he said. “I’m fine. You took the worst of it this time.” “Fine. I will tell her then,” I said. I wasn’t…
I tried to hold it in, but I couldn’t help but laugh, which caused me to grab my ribs in pain. “I did this to myself,” I whined as I waited for the pain in my ribs to subside. Sephie I got up several times throughout the night to walk down the hallway. Everyone’s sleep…
“I’m okay,” I said quietly. “You’re still able to breathe normally?” I nodded my head. She glanced around at the guys, checking to see if they were still sleeping. “Can I ask you a question?” she asked quietly. I nodded my head again, curious as to what she wanted to know. “Are you the girl…
“He had to move her arm. She’s in severe pain. I don’t know how she’s been handling it. It would’ve cr*ppled me,” Adrik said, still in Russian. “You can feel her pain now too?” Stephen asked. “This was the first time,” Adrik said as we got on the elevator to go back to my hospital…
“I’ve had worse, doc. I’ll be fine,” I said. My tone was short enough that I was hoping he would let the matter drop. I was trying not to maintain eye contact with him, as I didn’t want him to notice if my eyes turned dark. I glanced at the guys, who all had sympathetic…
