HUNTING

Lazar's POV.

He was back, with his terror. 

I was ready for him to attack, it was his usual method.

But now things are different. Now I felt scared because there was someone I did not want caught up in this mess.

Behind me, Miriam was still lying on the couch, half-covered in a blanket, waiting.

Her milky skin was barely covered with the small blanket.

She had no idea her world was about to change.

“Who is it?” Miriam asked, her soothing calm voice piercing through my clouded thoughts.

“It's the wrong house baby.” I yelled back.

“What should we do, boss?” Ilya asked with a stern look on his face.

“Gather the men, make sure the other weaponries are safe and delivery goes as planned. I will be out in five.” I ordered.

With a nod, Ilya walked away. 

This was it, as much as I did not want to admit it I would have to leave my warm pretty wife.

This was my life, a part I have to keep away from her so she does not have to be in danger.

I had a lot of enemies and if they knew about her identity it would be dangerous for her.

I have to look for a way to move her out of this apartment. The security was too weak here.

I closed the door behind me and took a few deep breaths before plastering a wide smile on my face.

Her eyes found mine and I almost felt the urge to forget that I told Ilya that I would be downstairs by five.

“So who was that?” She asked with a knowing smirk on her face.

“Wrong house baby, was asking for directions but as you know I know nowhere around here.” I answered, lying easily through my teeth.

I hated the fact that I was lying to her, but this is for her own good and also because I was selfish.

I know if she found out about my true identity she would not want to be with me. I was risking her life because of my selfishness.

“Hmmm are you sure it's not one of your lovers?” She asked with a mocking smirk on her lips.

I smiled and I slowly made my way to her. While she relaxed on the couch giving me a seductive look.

Damn, this woman will be the end of me, I thought to myself.

“Why would I need another woman when I have you, my lady?” I asked.

“I dunno, maybe I am not pretty enough.” She answered and I almost saw red because I could see behind those words was insecurity.

She was self conscious and I have every right to believe it's because of her past relationship.

Now that I think about it, I haven't dealt with William. He gave his bride to me. I am thankful for that, but he still has not paid me my debt. 

And he clearly caused a lot of pain for my woman, he also has to pay for that. Her whole family has to pay for hurting her.

“You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen in this world.” I complimented, watching the way her eyes lit up with excitement.

“You mean it?” She asked, her lustful gaze long gone. Her eyes filled with her innocence and it took my breath away.

“Every thing I say, I mean it all baby.” I whispered gently pecking her lips but she seems to have other plans.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and deepened the kiss, catching me off guard.

“Baby …” I moaned into her lips.

“I want you Lazar… please.” She pleaded, staring into my eyes with those innocent doe eyes.

I almost lost my composure but I knew I had to go. As much as I would love to feel her warmth all over my body. I did not want to rush things with her and the faster I eliminate my uncle the better for all of us.

“Baby I have to go somewhere…. I promise when I get back I will ravish you and make sure you can't use your legs for days.” I whispered into her words gently nibbling her earlobes.

She immediately stiffened, pushed me off her body gently.

“Where are you going?” She asked.

“Well I spent half of the day with you and barely was at work so I have a job I just remembered I have to finish up before tomorrow.” 

“Oh…okay.” She said looking disappointed.

“Wipe that look off your face mami, I will be back soon. Lock the door and don't open it for anyone other than me.” I warned.

“Okay.” She said her voice barely above a whisper.

I stood up, walked into the room and dressed up, putting the gun I had kept under my bed inside my pants and covering it up with my jacket.

I walked out to see her fully dressed, and her robe tired tightly around her waist.

I missed the sight of her milky skin.

I grabbed her waist and kissed her passionately.

“Stay safe baby girl.” I whispered, my lips gently brushing hers.

“You too.” 

I took in a deep breath, her scent filling my senses. And with one last look at her beautiful face, I pecked her forehead and  walked to the door.

“Lock it.” I said with a stern look.

“I will, now stop being so over protective like I am going to disappear or something, and get to work.” She replied with a smile on her face, but she had no idea how her words affected me.

The thought of someone taking her away from me made me furious. I can't even let that happen.

“Sleep tight angel.” I said and watched as she closed the door. Once I heard the soft click of the door I walked to the elevator.

The townsmen in charge of watching her went up toward her apartment.

“Make sure nothing happened to her.” I ordered.

“Yes sir.” They responded.

“We have to go sir, we got news that your uncle was spotted at the West road.” Ilya relayed.

“How true is this information?” I asked.

“There is evidence backing it up.” He replied, handing me his phone with a photo of my uncle getting into a black limo.

He has been hiding for years, I knew it was only a matter of time before he strikes back.

He was back now but why? What was his game plan?

“Get the men, it seems like it is about time we went hunting.” I said, adrenaline pumping through my veins as I got into the car.

I looked up to see Miriam's lights were turned off.

“Don't worry boss, nothing will happen to her. I assigned over fifteen men to look after her.” Ilya said, obviously reading my thoughts.

I had a very few people I cared about and Miriam was top of that list. 

I don't know what I would do if anything happens to her.
