LOGINThis book is officially over. I can't believe I finished it. There were times I wanted to give up. Times I did at some point, but for some reason, I always found the energy to push through. I want to thank everyone who gave this book a chance. Without you, this book wouldn't be as successful as it
“Nikolai, I- ouch” She takes a step towards me and then stops, her face twisting into a grimace. I'm at her side in an instant, my hands around her shoulder, steadying her, “What's wrong?” I ask, my gaze scanning her carefully. My eyes land on the thin ragged line on her knee. The edges are raw, a
To be honest I wouldn't blame her if she did. She’d just seen me torture information out of a man. A man who deserves every bit of pain I dished out to him and more but still. Ava wasn’t used to this. She wasn’t used to seeing other people suffer. I was. I thought I could shield her from the darknes
Nikolai There's a solid second that follows after I see her, where the two of us just stare at each other, neither one of us willing to break contact first. Fuck. She wasn't supposed to be here. How the hell did she even find this place? "Ava, wait," Her eyes widened, a flicker of panic cross

“Otoydi v storonu” Nikolai commands coldly. (Step Aside) “I can't. They broke the law. They were driving recklessly, and a bottle of weed-infused champagne was found in their possession. Unless you have a release form, they are staying right here.” He replies firmly, trying to sound confident, but
Ava I blink, groaning softly as I try to adjust my eyes to the sunlight streaming in through the thin curtains of my bedroom window. A delicious aroma drifts through the air, teasing my senses and stirring a faint pang of hunger in my stomach. Blinking again, my gaze bounces off the walls of my be
“I like it when you touch me.” She blurts out, surprising herself. Heat warms her face, and she starts to pull away, but I stop her, tightening my hold around her wrist. “Don't,” her gaze meets mine, wide-eyed and needy. “Don't hide away from telling me what you like.” Her breath hitches as my wo
Ava “Earth to Ava” I blink, focusing my attention on a very concerned-looking Kat. Her perfectly manicured nails drum lightly against the table as she watches me, worry etched into her brows. “Is everything okay?” No, everything is, in fact, not okay.
