Chapter: 42It’s technically not why I have it, more so why I haven’t ever gotten rid of it, but I’m not sure making that distinction right now would help my case.“None of those women mean anything to me, Olivia.”“I got so wrapped up in you last night, lost so much control, that we didn’t think to wear a condom. That’s so reckless.”I rub at my neck. “I don’t have girls here, Olivia. Ever. I wasn’t lying.” Maybe it’s a piss-poor excuse, but I don’t have a single condom stashed in the house. The condo, sure, drawers full. I do keep one in my wallet, but that was stored down here in the entryway table, and in the heat of the moment… “Are you not on the pill?” Fuck. Didn’t I ask her this?“I’m on the pill, but…” She trails off as her gaze settles on the lump between my legs.“I’m clean,” I whisper. If I sound defeated, it’s because I fucking am. She’s never going to get over my past. “That’s the first time I…” First time I went in bare, but I don’t finish that thought out loud. “I get tested.” My

Chapter: 41“Why? Are you okay?” I look her over with a slow sweep. It gets heated on the way down and I wind up making three passes. “Did I hurt you last night?”I reach for her right hip, right where there are four round bruises that perfectly match my fingertips. Twisting her, I find my thumbprint on her backside. She’s also covered in a shit ton of tiny purple hickeys. A possessive growl rips through me, secretly loving all those marks. Mine, my brain shouts out, and my third leg jumps with agreement.Olivia swats my hand away. “No, you didn’t—” She stops, covering her face before she picks up her dress and pushes by me, pulling her dress over her head. “I have to go.”She forgoes the bra, choosing instead to hook it onto her wrist before she starts searching around the floor, looking for the thong I peeled off her last night, I assume. I neglect to tell her that it’s in the pocket of my jeans, which are half-buried under the bed.Scratching my head and cupping my balls—she’s on her hands and

Chapter: 40NOT A FAN, KARMACARTER“Oh shit. Fuck. Shit, shit, shit.”Cracking one spent lid, I search through the foggy morning haze, trying to pin Olivia’s panicked voice. I’m not sure why she’s so frantic, and I’m only mildly annoyed that she’s woken me from the best sleep of my life. Annoyed because I was having the very best dream. Olivia under me, over me, her lips, her hands, her perfect tits. Only mildly because now I get to live out the dream in real life.Rolling onto my back, I blindly sweep an arm over the empty spot beside me. It’s still warm and I can smell her all over my sheets, like a fresh batch of cookies. I wanna eat her right up.“Come back to bed, Ollie.” My voice is thick with sleep. I suck in a shit ton of air on a never-ending yawn and rub my eyes. When I hear a loud crash followed by a string of curses, I manage to pull myself to sitting.Olivia’s stark naked—just the way I like her—lying in a crumpled heap on the floor.I lean over the bed, smiling. “What you doin’ dow

Chapter: 39I crawl backward when his knees hit the mattress and he starts slinking toward me, that thing dangling between his legs, dragging across the bedding. Aside from the wild beat of my heart, the only other thing I can hear is the slowness with which it slithers across the bed, alerting me to my impending doom.“I-I…” For the love of all God, what the hell am I trying to say? I give up on words, instead spreading my arms out, palms facing each other, before I make a tiny O with my pointer finger and thumb. My head wags furiously and my shrug is nothing short of both innocent and sincerely concerned. “It’s not gonna fit.”Carter’s chuckle is way too ominous for my liking, and I’m still doing the crab walk. My hand slips and I start tumbling over the edge of the bed, legs in the air. He catches me before I can do any damage that might potentially and prematurely end this trip to heaven/hell that I’m so looking forward to, even though Carter’s packing a goddamn missile that’s going to blow m

Chapter: 38“You can.”He’s relentless, a savage intent on showing no mercy, his chest vibrating with approval as he watches me climb higher, and when he throws me over the edge, I clap a hand across my mouth to stifle my cry.Carter tears my hand away, pinning my wrists on either side of my head as he looms over me. “Slap that hand back there again and I’ll tie both of them to the bedpost. I wanna hear you scream my name when you come with me inside you. Got it?”Words have escaped me, so I nod rapidly.Carter grins, crawling up my body. He hooks a finger under my chin. “No sassy comebacks, Ol? Did I break you?”Closing my eyes, I pull in a deep breath and let it go. I kiss his lips, then follow his rugged jawline to his ear. “You haven’t broken me yet, but I’m hoping if I’m a good girl, you will soon.”His gaze darkens. “Fuck, I wanna give you whatever you want.”I brush my lips against his. “Wreck me, Carter.”Our mouths collide in a frenzy, scraping teeth, sliding tongues, bruising touches.

Chapter: 37Rough hands slide down my arms, gripping my hips, fingernails biting into flesh as his gaze rakes over me like hot coals.Soft lips press tender kisses across my shoulder, down the slope of my spine as Carter hooks his thumbs into my panties and slowly lowers himself to his knees, taking the blushing lace with him as he goes.His warm mouth slides up the back of my thigh as he kneads my muscles, and when one hand slips between my legs where my heartbeat has found itself, I squeeze my eyes shut and hold onto the edge of the counter for dear life.“You’re nervous,” Carter murmurs, splaying a hand over my lower belly as it quivers.Nervous, drunk on raw desire, terrified of the generous helping of honest to goodness feelings that scare the shit out of me…All of it swirls inside me, grabbing hold of my heart, clenching it like a fist.“Fucking stunning.” The words are a wonderous whisper as his fingers glide through the wetness spread between my thighs. He stands, kisses my neck, and hold

Chapter: 44My nails continued to dig into his hips as I held on, his dick even fuller at this direct angle, filling me up completely. Watching him work and thrust to fuck me was enough to make me come, and I was already at the threshold.“Show me.” He squeezed my throat.My fingers went to my clit, and I started to play with myself, rubbing in a circular motion, applying the pressure that I liked. I tried to gasp, but he tightened his grip and my words disappeared into the void.Less than a minute later, I finished, bucking against my fingers, his big dick ballooning inside me even more as he watched me reach the clouds.He grabbed on to my hips and tugged me hard against him, giving me all his length as he came, as he released deep inside me and made one of his biggest deposits. He gave the sexiest moan when he finished, his eyes locked on me possessively. “Turn over.”Lost in the haze of the lingering climax, I didn’t understand what he said.“I said, turn over.” He pulled out and started to r

Chapter: 33“Snitch,” he explained. “The guy has two teenage daughters too. How fucking sick is that?”“What did you do?”“He broke the law, so I had to execute him.”“Even though he has a family?”“I don’t give a shit if you have a family or not,” he snapped. “You want to deal in my city, then you follow the rules. That fucking simple.” He put out the cigar then grabbed the drink instead.“I didn’t mean to offend you.”“If you don’t want to offend me, then don’t judge me.” Now his eyes were ruthless, and for the first time, they were ruthless for me.“I wasn’t judging you,” I said calmly. “I’m sorry if I made it seem that way.”His eyes flicked away and he took a breath, an attempt to calm himself. “I have to maintain order. If I let a family man live, then I have to let another man live. Then I’ll lose respect and authority, then the Republic will fall, the old order will return, and Godric will rule this city. Trust me, no one wants that—even if you aren’t in the game.”I didn’t know what to s

Chapter: 42I knew he wanted to know about my day but didn’t want to pry. “I submitted the paperwork—for the last time, I hope.”“It will be.”“I guess it feels different this time because I know it’ll go through.”“Isn’t that a good thing?”“I’m happy to be free of Adrien, but it’s the first time I’ve truly realized that I’m getting divorced. I’m going to court and everything. Going to take back my maiden name. I was so busy being angry that I forgot what would come afterward.”He watched me for a while, his arms still crossed over his chest. “You’re scared.”“I’m not scared. I just… It’s hard to start over.” I’d lost most of my friends. I loved his parents, but now they would never speak to me again, even though I was the victim in the marriage. I loved his entire family, felt like they were my family, and now I would never see them again. It fucking sucked.“It’s okay to be scared, sweetheart. You can’t be brave if you aren’t scared—and you are brave.”All the pain I felt was replaced by warmt

Chapter: 41“You know I’m a man of my word. I would never bring violence into your home.”She broke eye contact and looked at the fireplace.“You’re the only person he respects. If you asked him to come under the banner of truce, we would abide by it.”She considered it for a long time, her eyes glued to the fireplace.I’d searched the streets for him. I’d tortured people for information, but they were a hell of a lot more afraid of him than me. Unless I found where he was and took him myself, I would never get what I wanted. My mother was the only connection I had to my brother.She finally turned back to me after careful consideration. “I’ll ask Godric to consider it—but that’s the most I can do.”Chapter 13FleurBastien didn’t text me.He said I would see him tomorrow, but tomorrow was today, and there was no sign of him. I didn’t text him because I didn’t want to smother him with my neediness. It was a casual relationship and he didn’t owe me anything, but his silence made me wonder if his f

Chapter: 40“If you don’t, your family will find you here—a bullet through the head.”“You may take my life—but Godric will take my entire family. He’ll wipe out my bloodline. He’ll hunt down my brothers and sisters and their families…my cousins in Albania. He’ll execute my friends and their families and spit on them just for good measure. And only after that’s done…when I have nothing to live for…he’ll kill me.” He stared at the floor, at my bloody boots. “I can’t talk—and no one else will either.”The disappointment was like gasoline on my tongue, and the rage was a lit match. It was impossible to beat a man without ethics when I had to abide by my own. I chose to be the bigger man, but that made Godric the bigger opponent. There were lines I refused to cross, and Godric danced right over them. “As the first French Emperor of the Republic, I sentence you to death for violating Homines ex codice with the use of trafficked women as free and illegal labor.” I fired the gun, and he fell back, blood

Chapter: 39“I don’t have his number, but I can get you to him.”“How?” I continued to hold the gun to his face.“I think I know where he lives.”“You think?”“He was having a party and wanted us to bring the girls…for entertainment.”I kept the gun trained on him, but for once, I was intrigued by this information. “Address?”“I don’t—don’t know the address, but—but I remember how to get there.” He could barely talk, afraid his brains were about to get blown across the floor. “It’s the 4th arrondissement. I can take you there now.”I finally lowered the gun and nodded to one of my guys to cut him free.When his wrists were unbound, he closed his eyes and released a heavy breath.“Change your pants,” I barked. “My car isn’t going to smell like piss.”We drove across town to the 4th arrondissement, the roads empty at this hour. My witness was in a different car, a gun held to his temple. With the window cracked, I smoked a cigar, passing the old buildings and seeing Notre-Dame come into view, the c
