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.
“Ivan and Misha kind of *uck up that theory, though,” Andrei said. “I don’t think either one of them get included in any similarities, to be honest,” Sephie said. “They’re both completely unique. Ivan has his own special assignment and Misha’s gift is so unlike anyone else’s that I think it makes him just as…
“I missed you, “I told her as my lips found hers. “I missed you more,” she told me, deepening the kiss. “How did it go with Andrei?” I asked her as I continued to kiss her. I could hear her giggling in her head. “I think his level of control might be almost as good…
“Still about red pandas or have you moved on to the quandary of why lions are called the king of the jungle when they live on the savanna and nowhere near a jungle?” he asked. My mouth fell open. That answer was completely unexpected from Andrei. I just started laughing and couldn’t stop for a…
He looked at me, “I can’t see anything on either of those scenarios. Like literally nothing. It’s all fuzzy. I think I might need Sephie on that one. Maybe Andrei too.” “Has that ever happened before?” Stephen asked. Misha shook his head no. “No, even before Sephie started helping me, I could always fond an…
After everyone had gone back to their apartments for the evening, Sephie and I were two teenagers, unable to keep our hands off each other. The door to the penthouse had hardly closed and she literally jumped in my arms, wrapping herself an und me as she giggled. I set her on the counter, pulling…
“I love you all so much right now,” I said, wiping the tears from my eyes from laughing so hard. Stephen got up and walked to me, sliding his arm around my shoulders. “See why I want to hang out with you guys and not anyone else now?” he said, kissing the top of my…
“What is wrong with us,” I said, wistfully as I pulled his arms around me tighter as we walked back to the kitchen. I started on dinner as we discussed our conversation with Dario, as well as the conversation with Trino from the night before. I finally looked to Stephen, asking, “how about now? Does…
“It’ll get easier as you do it more often and it’ll get clearer too. The more you rely on your demon and let it help you, the stronger the connection will get,” Adrik said. “Quick question: does that also mean it’s going to want more pancakes? If so, I’m going to need to start running…
*I agree with Andrei. I think giving him hope again helped him cope with everything he’s been through. I don’t get anything had from him at all. Bubba, can you check with Stephen?”1 asked, since Andrei was sitting close to Stephen. He leaned over and brushed Stephen’s arm. Stephen shook his head no. He looked…
“What do you mean? His demon?” Dario asked. “That’s what he made a deal with. Basically, he literally sold his soul,” Adrik said. “That would imply he had one to begin with,” Dario said thoughtfully. While he was not trying to be funny when he said it, it did make all of us laugh. We…
