LOGIN“What’s going to happen to Dexter?” she asked.“Even the Bratva has a Counsel. We don’t just kill anyone who pisses us off anymore,” Felix told her gently. “We are not animals. We are a sophisticated organization and we have rules we live by.” He took a breath and continued, “We will take him back and let the Cousin deal with him. They will judge him fairly.”“What about the other matter?” She licked her dry lips.Felix studied her for a moment. “We read your grandmother’s journals.”“And?”Sergi exchanged a look with Felix. “And what? What do you want us to say?”“Was my grandfather Nikolas’s son?”“Yes child, he was,” Rizvan told her gently. “Your great grandmother’s journals told us what happened all that time ago. She spoke of how Nikolas knew he and his family were going to di
Talli studied his eyes for a moment and knew in her heart he was telling the truth. She hadn’t dared to believe it before, but the man really meant all that he’d said. She leaned forward and touched her lips to his chest just above his heart. “Will you be there when we face everyone else?”“I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I’ll always be right there beside you.”“Good, because I’m not sure I could do this otherwise.”“You are stronger than you think. You are Christophe Janick’s daughter.Talli felt her heart swell in her chest. He was right, she was her father’s daughter, and that would give her the strength she needed to face whatever she had to face. Her belly growled at that moment
Barshan groaned and closed his eyes. Need was growing out of control as his cock got harder than steel. Then she moved her hips again, and he could feel himself sliding inside her warm wet sheath. Bucking his hips, he went in even deeper.His hands took charge, wrapping around the cradle of her hips. He pushed up into her as she ground down against him. The urge to move was strong and he gave into it. He lifted her hips and rammed them down again and again. He plunged deeper and deeper into her little bit of heaven.He felt her body tighten, hugging his cock. With each stroke, she matched the intensity he felt. Each time she ground her body against his, he felt the desire inch higher and higher. Within minutes, he felt his climax zipping down his spine to his balls.His fingers moved to her clit and as he brushed th
Barshan raised his head a bit. “You will come for me, now princess.” His eyes blazed at her then he latched onto her button and sucked as he pumped her with his finger.Thrashing around, Talli thought she would go mad from his actions, she never felt such a delicious storming before. Her body tightened and she came hard as he sucked on her and seemed to slurp as he feasted.He again raised up and slid his hard form along her as he spread her legs further apart and plunged into her waiting heat and as her climax was still going, she was more than ready for him. Lifting her hips, she welcomed him. It was fast and hard but it worked for them. Only moments later, they both spun into oblivion. They both had to struggle to catch their breath.Barshan collapsed on top of her and for a moment, he couldn’t move. The climax he shared with her zapped his strength. Finally, he forced himself to move away from her but he didn’t go far. Wrapping his arms around her, he pulled her close. “I want th
When Talli went back to the table, she saw Rizvan slipping the crown back into its bag and then back into the wooden box that held it all these years. Then he replaced the ring and journals back in the crate and placed the cover back on the top. Laying his hand on it, he told her, “I think you should read what your great-grandmother wrote about. If for no other reason than to know your own family history. You may not want to know but you need to know.”Talli gazed at the crate then raised her eyes to his. “Maybe someday I will read them but not today. I’m too tired and sore to make any sense of what happened in the past. It feels like I just lost my parents again, now that I know what actually happened to them. I just need some time to digest everything I’ve learned.”Rizvan nodded. “I guess I should take this with me.” He patted the small wooden box. “Although by rights it should belong to you as you are Nikolas’s direct descendant and I am not.”“No, you keep it,” Talli begged him.
Talli wasn’t sure she wanted to find out but with shaking hands, she pulled it out of the shadows. The crate itself wasn’t very big and it wasn’t all that heavy.She tried to pick it up but stumbled.Barshan was right there and took the crate from her hands. He carried it over to the table and stepped back.Talli knew no one would touch it unless she gave them permission.“Open it,” Rizvan encouraged her. “This is your history.”Talli reached out and slipped the lid off the crate. When the top hit the table, dust flew everywhere. The crate hadn’t been disturbed in a very long time. Inside were a number of journals, all leather bound with a date embossed on the front cover. The first one began in 1918 and the date on the last one was 1945. She pulled them out and set them aside. All that was left was a small velvet pouch.Her hands were trembling as she reached for the pouch. Pulling the strings apart, a small jewelry box slipped out. By the size of the box, she could tell it held a ri
When she had first heard the ping of the elevator, Raven had quickly moved into her hiding place. The air shaft vent was located low on the wall inside the bedroom. The cover held in place by four small screws were easily removed by the small screwdriver she carried in her backpack. She barely had
The alarm went from solid red to a blinking red. On the third blink, a special alarm went off in the security room and the door locked behind the interloper.Down in the hotel’s security room everyone saw this and three men scrambled. One got on the phone while the other two sat at monitors searchi
When she and Nicky had come to New Orleans three years ago, Raven had learned everything she could about the city and who actually ran it. After what happened with Carlos, trapping her into a life of thievery, she had learned to be very careful. She’d gotten a job at the hotel/restaurant in houseke
“Do you know who Yuri Anatoly is?” Nicky asked Raven as she walked through the front door of their apartment.The apartment wasn’t much and not in a good neighborhood but it was the best place they had lived in yet. It was small but then they didn’t need much.Raven groaned as she leaned wearily ag
