"Do you want me to apologize for that?" he said, as he pulled away from me.

For a few seconds, I could barely think. I could barely even breathe at this point, as the words floated above my head.

That kiss had blindsided me because I had actually not thought he would do it.

I stared up at him now, as his eyes searched mine with that same intensity it always had. Searching for an answer from me.

I shook my head.

A slow smile spread across his face.

"Good," he said, his voice dropping l

  • Made for the Devil's Pleasure   In the Library

    KATYA"Do you want me to apologize for that?" he said, as he pulled away from me. For a few seconds, I could barely think. I could barely even breathe at this point, as the words floated above my head. That kiss had blindsided me because I had actually not thought he would do it. I stared up at him now, as his eyes searched mine with that same intensity it always had. Searching for an answer from me. I shook my head.A slow smile spread across his face."Good," he said, his voice dropping lower. "Because I don't think I want to."He started to pull back at that point. And I could basically hear my body groan in protest. Where the fuck did he think he was going after doing that?My body moved before my brain caught up.I grabbed the front of his shirt and yanked him back to me, crushing my mouth against his. I felt his hands tighten around my waist as he pulled me off the shelf and flush against his chest. This kiss wasn’t like the first one at all; which was absolutely amazing s

    KATYA“What are you doing here?” I asked, still standing in the doorway staring at him. “Last I checked, this was my house.” He said,“Right,” I replied, “I just… I thought you'd be in some meeting right now or something."Of all the places I expected to find him, the library wasn't exactly high on the list.Nikolai glanced up from the title he was examining."Normally, I would be." He said, I slowly stepped inside, shutting the door. "Then what happened?"He shrugged."Today I wasn't really in the mood for any of it."It was pretty obvious even now that there was a lot on his mind, and I wondered what it was. Actually, it was quite expected for there to be a lot on his mind, especially considering everything that had happened so far. He placed the book back on the shelf."I simply wanted to clear my head." He finally said, “And the library helps with that.”His gaze drifted toward the endless shelves.“Besides, I had a feeling I would eventually run into you here.” He said,"Oh,

  • Made for the Devil's Pleasure   Little Eavesdropper

    KATYA Over the past couple of weeks, the library had become my favorite place in the entire estate. It was one of the few places where I could pretend my life wasn't completely insane, and I could get lost in the fantasy world for just a little bit. Escaping this reality fully. I had been really happy when Nikolai sort of relaxed the restrictions concerning my movements, even though it was still a lot some times. I was also happy that his recovery was progressing faster than expected. Apparently, nearly dying had done absolutely nothing to improve his personality. If anything, he had somehow become more overprotective. The man practically had guards following me with their eyes every time I left a room. It was ridiculous. Then again... I couldn't exactly blame him. His paranoia was definitely justified with how crazy the past days had been. Mine definitely was. I rounded a corner and now stopped, as a voice drifted through the hallway. It was low at first, but I could hear

    "I should have fucking killed him when I had the chance!" Lily yelledThe vase she just threw exploded against the wall as the ceramic shattered across the apartment floor.Lily stood in the middle of the destruction, chest heaving as rage burned through every part of her body.Another crash echoed through the room now.A picture frame flew from her hand and struck the fireplace.She didn't care about any of this right now. All she could see was Nikolai's face and everything that he had told her. "The engagement is over."“Who the fuck does he think he is to tell me those things?” She said to herself, “After everything I have done for that man.”She had spent years setting herself up to become his wife. Years of sacrifice and loyalty. All for it to be thrown away because he had found a new plaything. "Fuck!"Her voice echoed through the apartment as she paced furiously back and forth. Trying to think and force herself to breath so she doesn’t lose all control. Unfortunately, she

    NIKOLAI"Oh, this is shocking." Lily's voice dripped with sarcasm as she stepped into my study.Lily glanced around the room before fixing her gaze on me, as a cold smile spread across her face."You still require my presence?" she asked. "Have you gotten tired of your little toy that quickly?"Her snide jokes normally might have earned nothing more than annoyance from me, but today, it took considerable effort not to put a bullet through the wall beside Lily's head. Sergei had told me to be calm about things, so I was going to try my best do that. "Sit down." I said, the seriousness fully in my tone.Lily noticed I wasn’t in the mood for games and slowly sat down. The silence stretched between us for a couple of seconds as I watched her carefully. "What is this about?" she finally asked, as she crossed her legs. I leaned back in my chair."I recently came into possession of some new information." I said, “And I thought I should share it with you.”Her expression remained neutra

    NIKOLAI "You are staring again."Katya's voice pulled me from my thoughts.I looked up from the armchair positioned beside the fireplace and found her sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a book balanced in her lap.A small smile tugged at her lips."What?" I frowned."What do you mean, 'What?'""You have been staring at me for the last five minutes.""I have not.""You absolutely have.""I was thinking." I replied, as my eyes narrowed.Her grin widened.“I wonder what about.”Arrogant little thing.Somehow, in the days since my near death, she had become increasingly bold. Not that I could entirely blame her. I had admittedly relaxed some of the restrictions surrounding her. Allowing her to move around the house more freely and all.The doctor claimed I was recovering better than he expected me to.In fact, every doctor who had examined me since the attack seemed baffled that I was still alive.The poison should have killed me. That much was certain. And yet somehow I had survived.

    "I want to see your boss." Sergei said as he casually strolled into the clubhouse where the Crimson Order usually gathered.A dozen pairs of eyes turned toward him almost immediately, as the men stationed throughout the building immediately straightened as they sized him up. Some leaned against cra

    KATYA“Do you know how many days it has been?" I asked, my voice hoarse from disuse.The maid didn't answer at all. She just kept her eyes lowered as she pushed the tray of food through the small opening in the dungeon door towards me and then immediately stepped back.As though I carried some kind

    KATYAI could feel my heart pounding so violently against my ribs right now as I continued to yell at the top of my lungs for somebody to come and help. I watched as Lily rushed forward. “Why are you yelling?” she asked, irritation on her face. She saw Nikolai as soon as she stepped into the roo

    KATYA I rose to my feet the second Lily stepped into the room. The door had barely finished opening before tension filled the air. I could already see the accusation in her eyes. The anger, suspicion and the absolute certainty that somehow everything was my fault. I opened my mouth, preparing to
