Lina’s POV

"If I catch so much as a glimpse of your ass at the precinct today, Lina, I’m writing you up for insubordination," Nikolai said.

He had put the car in park but kept his hand resting on the steering wheel, turning his head to look at me with a soft, serious expression.

"You need to rest. Take the day off. That’s a direct order from your favorite cop" he beamed and then tried to..wink.

Nikolai failed miserably at it.

I couldn't help the small laugh that escaped me, unbuckling my sea

  • My Stepbrother, My Damnation    I Think I'm... Wet

    Lina’s POVThe world didn't just blur; it fucking shattered.One second I was leaning into Nikolai, my lips a mere heartbeat away from his.The next, a brutal, bruising hand clamped onto my waist, and I was violently ripped backward.My breath left me in a sharp, painful gasp as my back slammed hard against the unyielding wall of Riven’s chest. The sudden impact damn near rattled my teeth.But before I could even draw enough air to scream at him, the opening chords of the tango died out. The fucking violins screeched to life, unleashing a dark, aggressive crescendo that signaled the start of the mandatory dance.Panic, cold and sharp, pierced through the heavy fog in my brain."Nikolai!" I cried out, my voice sounding tight and desperate over the swelling music.I tried to tear my body out of Riven's iron grip, my eyes frantically scanning the crowd over his shoulder. But the timing was lethal. The moment the music peaked, the entire ballroom moved. A sudden, massive wave of stude

  • My Stepbrother, My Damnation    Tango Time

    Lina’s POVNikolai's presence was exactly what I needed. For the first time all night, the weight of Riven Rykerthorne’s name completely evaporated from my mind.Or, at least, that was the lie I kept aggressively telling myself while downing a glass of champagne. I was definitely not trying not to think about the bastard.We were standing near the edge of the crowded ballroom, and Nikolai was currently using his height to lean over me, casually cracking another joke at my expense."I’m serious, Liv," he was saying, looking over my head to where Olivia stood."She used to wear those oversized tactical boots to her internship. I thought she was hiding weapons in them, but no. Just a complete lack of fashion sense.""Oh my god, I knew it!" Olivia squealed, throwing her head back in a loud, dramatic laugh."She does the exact same thing at the dorms! If it doesn't look like a disgruntled raccoon wore it first, Lina won't put it on her body!""Hey!" I protested, a furious, burning blush cr

  • My Stepbrother, My Damnation    Belongs To The Grim Reaper

    Riven’s POVI was bored out of my fucking mind.The mindless chatter of trust-fund undergraduates and the clinking of crystal glasses were starting to sound like a death sentence.Sitting in the VIP lounge of the Mer College ballroom, the only thing keeping my brain functioning was the vivid, frustrating memory of Ryker clutching his chest in his study last night.I shouldn't have let the old man live.As I watched the amber liquid swirl in my glass, a deep, bitter regret settled in my gut.I should have just pulled the trigger and put a bullet through his head myself instead of letting a clogged artery do the work.Because he survived, the family board had forced me out here tonight to play the role of the dutiful, stable heir.Coming to this mixer was a mistake.I was in a lethal, sour mood, and everyone in my immediate radius knew it.I didn't give a single shit that this mandatory ballroom showcase counted toward our final grades.I had no intention of dancing, and the moment I wal

  • My Stepbrother, My Damnation    What Do You Call It?

    Lina's POV The bell above the boutique door hadn't even finished chiming before Ma started acting like I'd announced a miracle. When I called her that morning and told her I wanted to shop for a dress to wear to the Mer College mixer, she reacted with enough dramatic excitement to concern a medical professional. According to her, her tomboy daughter had finally decided to join civilization after years of living like a disgruntled raccoon.I ignored the performance, but the annoying part was that she wasn’t entirely wrong. I didn't *do* shopping. Most of my wardrobe consisted of clothes that were practical, comfortable, and unlikely to attract attention. If a shirt wasn't trying to suffocate me, blind me, or make me look like an escaped chandelier, I considered it acceptable. But I had told her the exact same thing I told Olivia: *I want to start living.*So, there we were, standing inside a boutique so expensive that I was afraid to breathe too aggressively near the merchandise

I couldn't help the small laugh that escaped me, unbuckling my seatbelt. "Is that so, Officer? Since when do you pull rank on me outside of working hours?""Since you started letting work run you into the ground," he countered, a warm smile breaking through his otherwise strict cop persona."Seriously. Go inside, lock the door, and get some sleep, ryba" As Nikolai entwined our fingers, I didn't mind how my palm itched. I even allowed him kiss my knuckles, and returned a smile. "Okay" With that, I left. Soon, the click of the car door felt like the final s

  • My Stepbrother, My Damnation    An Inconvenience

    Riven’s POV"R-Riven..."Ryker's voice came out strained and uneven, as if every syllable had to fight its way through his throat before reaching the air.I watched him from where I stood, my hand still resting on the grip of the gun tucked into my waistband.I wasn't worried, and I certainly wasn't considering helping him.The truth was that I had spent years imagining all the different ways Ryker Rykerthorne might eventually suffer.Somehow none of those fantasies had involved him collapsing onto his own study floor because his heart had finally decided it was tired of carrying the burden of his stupidity.The situation was almost disappointing. Almost.Ryker's hand reached out toward nothing in particular before falling back onto the hardwood with a dull thud.I exhaled slowly through my nose before turning away.The urge to shoot him hadn't disappeared—it was still there, curled comfortably somewhere in the back of my mind. But a heart attack had completely ruined the mood.Murder
