I doubt if I had ever seen Quinn as worked up as he looked now as I struggled to zip up my dress.

Through the mirror, I could see him hovering by the window as we awaited Rodrig's arrival, his hands braced against the panes while his sharp gaze searched the driveway below. The faint light from outside cut across his face, his jawlines strictly highlighted by the outside and his lashes casting soft shadows beneath his eyes. An incredible sight he was.

The moment he shifted, I quickly tore my eyes away and returned my focus to the zipper, fumbling with it again.

I didn’t hear his footsteps. I only felt the sudden presence of him behind me– his nearness, his breath, and then the chill of his fingers brushing mine. I froze, letting go of the zipper. He took over silently.

“Aren’t you done yet?” His voice was low, clipped. When the zipper reached the top, he stepped back. I didn't thank him.

“I just need to fix my hair,” I replied softly, loosening the ribbon that held

    QUINNVenice pulls over beneath the sky’s blackened canopy, near the flickering streetlights. I drop my hoody and step out, my movements slow, until I slid into the seat beside her.“I bet I never asked you this before,” she said, eyes forward. “You sure about this?”“Yes.” I cock my pistol and her gaze linger on me with clear readable doubts. “You found this man for me. Shouldn’t I be the hesitant one?”She exhaled. “Yeah. He’s the one. That’s Igor. But I’ve never seen you hunt someone down for someone else. Rather people do it for you.”“He wronged me,” I said, pushing the gun back into my pocket and pulling my hood up. “I told you before.”“You’re doing it for that girl, aren’t you?”I bit down on my lip for a few seconds before reaching across her side of the door and pulling it open. “I owe you one, V.”She shrugs. “Nope. You only owe me my balance.” She stepped out of the car.I reached for my pocket and stretched out a card to her. She stands eyeing it for some seconds."Have M

    JANE As the coffee steamed up in my face I rubbed my temple slowly. It was still very early with nothing but the warm lights slipping through the kitchen windows.I took a sharp sip of my coffee and pushed the cup between my hands laid flat on the table.Just then, another pair of hands slides forward at each side of my arms and I feel Quinn's warmth behind me."Sneaking up to drink?" He murmured."It's just coffee."He leaned back, heading for the fridge in matching cardigan and joggers. He returns with two bottles of water and sits opposite me."So, the meeting from last night... Have there been other news?""Well, neither of us have spoken yet but I'm pretty sure there'll be. Soon," a bottle squeezes in his grip. "You amazed me again - you did really great last night.""I'm good," I raise my cup to him. "at what I do.""Except you almost ruined it in the end.""Ruined it? I just had a drink and the next thing you bundled me out. What's the point of going to the club if I can't dr

    QUINN"I'm gonna have to ground you now," I said, breaking out of her spell and drawing back."And how would you do that?" She staggers to her feet. "Lock me up in here and make sure I read twenty books in two days?""That'll be fair."She giggles and continues drawing close to me. "What if I make it up other ways?" Her hands slide slowly across my sides and her lips stand before mine. "Did you really think anything was gonna happen with me and that Mateo guy?"I pushed my mouth to her ear. "You wouldn't cause you know you have me to come home too and I'm just enough.""Oh, please!" She pushes me off and steps past me. Like a bodyguard, I'm turning around to watch her.She stood still before the closet, and stopped tugging at her sleeves."I wanna undress! Are you just gonna stand there and watch too?"I don't move an inch. She sighs in defeat and walks back to me. Standing with only a little space between us, she turns around and sweeps her curls to the front. "You might as well j

    QUINN“You vouch for him?” Vetrova nods towards me.Lucia’s gaze didn’t waver. “Of course. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t.”She lifted the third glass to her lips, sipping slowly while I watched her from the corner of my eye.“Manuel Rodrig’s house is a citadel for the Family,” she continued calmly. “And I have his support.”Her hand slid onto my thigh. “We have his support.”“Now imagine,” I folded my arms and leaned forward, resting them on the table, “approving this alliance and having me in this circle. It's just like having Rodrig, himself. Lucia's with us - Rodrig's with us.”“Liability, No?” Lucia asked lightly, reaching for the glass Mateo just re-filled at the center of the table for her. “Asset, Yes?”“I control the highest branches of underground channels in the country,” I added. “Imagine the progress - for all of us.”Vetrova stroked his beard slowly. “You do have a point, Quinn. Your power matters.”“All power does,” I replied evenly, leaning back as Lucia pulls the glas

    QUINNI stepped out of the Jeep and held the door, Lucia’s voice pulling me back just before I shut it.“You sure I shouldn’t come yet?”“No.” I slid my black shades over my eyes. “If things go well, you might not need to come at all.”“You need me there,” she murmured, but not moving an inch.“Let’s hope I don’t.”I shut the door and headed into the clubhouse with only Mario behind me.If I had my way, I wouldn’t bring her to places like this. I didn't have these worries till now. These men weren’t enemies, of course. But that’s what I’d thought last time.She’d been quiet lately. Avoiding my eyes. Speaking only when I asked. That night I wrapped her in my arms after forcing her to talk about her father. I thought she’d finally found comfort in my arms. But then she pushed me away, as if angry, unsettled - like she hated how easily I’d cracked her open. Refusing to succumb to affection I didn't have but was willing to give. As if the affection frightened her more than my violence.Tw

    QUINN She twisted her wrists in my grip but I still didn't let go. "My mother. She was nothing like any other woman I know. She was quiet, calm almost as if scared to use her words. I often wondered how she agreed to marry my papa. She was so kind it often irritated me. I admired her, of course - she was so beautiful, I always thought she's what angels are described to look like. But she was weak," my fists tightened around her wrists and her breath shuddered. "One day she went to stay in the hospital for a whole week and ever since then she's never been strong. She was diagnosed with something I had no idea of. That night, I pushed her bedroom door open to find the man. He was the tallest thing I ever saw compared to my little height. His back was turned to me. He was staring at her, gun cocked, when I came in. Without thinking, I flung myself at him. I had succeeded in hitting the weapon from his hand. That's when he stabbed me. I sat there on the ground and watched him p
