Aria POV After a quick breakfast, I moved into the library, pointedly ignoring Sergei who leaned beside the basement door, typing on his phone.I wouldn’t spend all day in the bedroom while this brother played captor, and I couldn’t stop thinking about the poor woman.I was lounging on the couch when Viktor came in and the moment I saw the haunted look in his eyes I knew something had gone horribly wrong.Dropping my book, I pushed to my feet and hurried over to him, trying to suppress my rising worry. “Are you okay?”He cupped my face and kissed me fiercely, catching me by surprise but my body sprang to life, answering to the need in his kiss until it became more, heated, too much.I tore away from him, shaking my head, even as my body throbbed with desire. “Tell me what happened.”He gaze dropped to his forearm where his fingers traced the scars. He frowned, pain and sadness flashing in his eyes before emotionless calm wiped them away. “Alexei gave Frost a choice but he didn't list

Aria POV Viktor stirred and gently untangled himself from me. I watched through half closed eyes him getting dressed in a blue shirt and black jeans, not saying anything.He threw a quick glance over his shoulder at me before he left for the video recording. The moment the door closed, I swung myself out of bed and threw a bathrobe over my nightgown.I had an inkling where the recording would take place and I needed to see that woman with my own eyes. I hated that I was in the dark and didn't know what was really going on these days, Alexei was far away only God knows where but he still manages to make me uncomfortable.Even more than that, I needed to figure out a way to help the poor woman who only false was getting married to her husband and I need to do this without betraying my new family because that’s what the Kozlov were to me, family.I crept through the corridor and made my way toward the door that led into the basement.When I heard Sergei. “Where do you think you’re going

Alexei POV Ethan glancesup at me with a curious expression and eyes so much like my own it hurts to breathe, so this is really my son.“Who is this, Mommy?” Ethan asks.“He’s a friend.” Talia offers him a watery smile as she watches our exchange take place. “His name is Alexei.”“Alexei,” Ethan repeats.I kneel before him and resist the natural instinct to pull him into my arms because he doesn’t know me and that was a fact still difficult for me to swallow. We just need some time.“Hey, buddy.” I offer him a pained smile. “How was your day?”“Good.” He shrugs before looking at Talia.“Mommy, can we get pizza?”Her expression tightens when she looks at me.“I like pizza,” I tell him. “What’s your favorite?”“Pepperoni,” he chants triumphantly.“He likes the Village Pizza shop,” Talia explains.“It’s his favorite.”“Village Pizza it is then.” I wink at Ethan. “How about a lift?”He flashes a dimple at me and nods enthusiastically before I throw him up onto my shoulders.Talia looks li

Alexei POV Talia clears her throat and crosses her arms as I rifle through her closet and find another jacket. She seems confused by the gesture until I remind her that she left her other one at school.The nerves return to her face, and when she reaches for the jacket, I don’t let it go just yet.“I’m sure I don’t have to tell you this, Talia because you’re a smart woman but if you think about making a scene at the school, or anywhere else, you may want to consider how far blacktop influence stretches.”“What does that mean, are you now threatening me?” she asks.“That list of names on the drive?” I return her gaze.“That was just one of many they belong to cops, politicians, government employees and they can all be bought, or they can disappear. The moral of my short speech is that without me, there isn’t a place on this earth you’ll be safe. It’s something to think about and just so you know one of them found you before I did and I had to go take care of it which is like getting i

Alexei POV “And now I’m going to finish it.” I drag the fat head of my cock against her slickness, and her nails curl into my biceps.Thrusting my hips forward, I bury myself inside her until she can’t take any more of my length.“Fuuuuck.” I groan into her neck as I roll my hips and slam into her again. She is so goddamn tight and it’s been five long years, and I’m not going to last.“Now you can come.” I fist a handful of her hair and force her to look up at me. “But only if you come around my cock.”She whimpers as I fuck her into the floor. Her nails claw at my back and my eyes roll back in my head. I can’t fucking concentrate because I just need to fuck her.When Talia finally lets herself go, an agonized groan escapes between her lips but I swallow it whole, and then drink from her until she’s breathless and her lips are swollen from my kiss then she fucking bites me, tearing at my lip until I taste my own blood.When I rear back, she adds insult to injury by slapping me as har

Alexei POV “What are you doing?” Talia whispers as I assault her throat with my lips.“I’m taking back what’s mine,” I murmur against her. “Get used to it.”“You hurt me.” She sniffs.“Did I?” I mock her. “What did you expect would happen when you pulled that trigger, Talia? Were you prepared to watch my blood splatter across your bedroom floor?”“I didn’t want to do it.” She squeezes her eyes shut and shakes her head. “You forced my hand.”“And now you’ve forced mine,” I responded.“You repeatedly told me you were bad for me,” she reminds me. “You warned me awayand now you’re here holding me hostage like this is exactly what you wanted all along.”“This is the last thing I wanted for you,” I tell her.“And I meant everything I said before but that doesn’t mean I didn’t want it. You were supposed to forget me and have a normal life and maybe I would have actually let you, who the fuck knows. Regardless of that, we have a kid now. Whatever intentions I may have had in the past are irr
