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.
She stopped and looked at me, half-serious, half-joking. “You know as well as I do that Tring will take it personally if we don’t go with him. At least for a little while. It’ll be tine. It’s not something I regularly look forward to, but I can manage for a bit. Hopefully.” She paused, then…
“I don’t know, Ivan. I can change your bandage, but I’m a little paranoid about checking your stitches. You had so much damage. What if I miss something important?” I asked, trying to figure out if he could handle seeing a doctor one more time, He laughed. “Says the girl that misses nothing.” I squinted…
Adrik grabbed my hand, leading me back to the elevator. Everyone followed us. No one said a word. They just had their shi t- eating grins on their faces. Once in the elevator again, Adrik pulled me to him. I tucked myself into his side, looking at him, silently questioning what was going on. He…
I could tell Sephie’s patience was starting to wear thin, but we couldn’t figure out how to get her out of the situation, as we were all basically stuck together for the next hour. I was trying to have silent conversations with the guys to see if anyone could come up with a plan to…
Adrik Sephie was somewhat retreshed alter a little time away from her new Italian shadow. We ventured out to find Trino. I needed her to spend as much time around him as she could, to get a feel for whether I could trust him or not. We found Ivan almost immediately when we lett on…
“Are you still happy here, solnishko? You don’t mind staying here another day or two until Ivan and Andrei are better?” he asked. “Of course not. Why? Are you planning on not coming back one night?” I asked, looking at him sideways. He laughed. “Why would I ever want to torture myself like that? I…
I thought for a moment. I didn’t want to say too much, because I know Ivan didn’t want them to know and I didn’t have the best track record lately with keeping my mo uth sh ut. Adrik still had his arm around me, I fell him run his hand up my back. He knew…
“I like his style,” I laughed. Adrik looked at me thoughtfully. “I think it would be a good idea for you to meet him, solnishko. Mando and I were talking about it. I don’t want to count on him without you meeting him first.” I smiled to myself at how reliant he had become on…
She kicked his a ss. To the point that Viktor stepped in and pulled her off him. It took her a few minutes to calm down after. Andrei was fine, laughing that he’d finally gotten it out of her. He really was a good trainer for her. He knew if she could learn how to…
“You always know the right things to say to us, gazelle. You’ll figure it out. But this will take some of the pressure off, in the meantime,” he grinned at me as I looked up at him. “You’re my favorite, my adorable Russian guardian. Don’t tell the others.” Sephie Misha disappeared for a bit, keeping…
