Playing Pretend With The Mafia Hockey Star 027: SNAP BACK TO REALITY KIERAN
KIERAN POV The second her lips hit mine, my entire world stopped dead… It wasn't a soft kiss. She crashed into me, drunk on too much champagne and a rush of adrenaline. My mind went blank for a second. My hands were still on her waist, holding up her heavy green dress so it wouldn't drag on the elevator floor. Without thinking, I gripped her a little tighter. A low, rough growl started deep in my throat. Every instinct I had as a Volkov—every dark, possessive urge I spent twenty four hours a day locking behind a wall of sports PR and icy discipline—threatened to snap…I didn't leave her. Instead, I let my hands pull her in even more, ready to pin her against the wall of the elevator and take exactly what she was offering. Then, my sanity kicked back in. She’s drunk, Kieran. And she’s a witness I pulled my head back stepping back an inch, breaking the sudden, suffocating heat between us. Yara stood there, her chest heaving as she gasped for air. The heavy, sluggish fog of
Playing Pretend With The Mafia Hockey Star 026: FIRST KISS ??
YARA POV The smooth, sharp voice cut right through the noise of the grand ballroom. We stopped. I turned my head toward the sound, my hand resting firmly on the sleeve of Kieran’s tuxedo. Selene Oslov was standing near the large marble pillar, holding a champagne glass loosely in her hand. She looked elegant in a high necked black lace gown, her dark hair pinned back sharply. Her eyes were fixed directly on my face. There was no loud, petty irritation in her expression like the kind Talia always showed instead, Selene’s eyes were cold, calculating, and completely empty. "Selene," Kieran said, his voice dropping into a flat, dangerous tone. The temperature between them seemed to drop instantly. "This is a sports charity event. Your family doesn't have an asset on this roster." "No we don't, but we have significant interests in the logistics routes that keep this city running, Kieran," Selene replied, her lips curving into a slow smile. She stepped closer, her eyes tracing
Playing Pretend With The Mafia Hockey Star 025: STARE HARDER
YARA POV The elevator doors closed, sealing us inside, I stood straight, my emerald dress brushing against Kieran’s trousers. In the reflection of the elevator mirror, we looked like a matching set. A dark, imposing prince and a woman who had finally stopped shrinking herself to fit into the corners of someone else's life. Kieran kept his eyes fixed straight ahead, his jaw locked. His hands were shoved into his pockets…the fabric straining against his thighs. He didn't look at me, but the heat coming off his body was unmistakable. "okay?" I muttered to myself still feeling annoyed. "That's the best you can come up with Volkov?” "I didn't pay them to make you look nice, Yara," he said, his voice a low tone that felt way too intimate in the enclosed space. "I pay them to make you look like the role you're supposed to play. And right now, you look okay." "So…okay is the only compliment in the Volkov dictionary?" The doors slid open to reveal Pavel waiting beside a luxury
Playing Pretend With The Mafia Hockey Star 024: YOU LOOK NICE
YARA POV "What is going on, Yara?" Tessa’s voice vibrated through my phone “Are you in New Jersey? Did you make it to your Aunt’s house?” Yes, I’m at Aunt Maya’s. But I swear to God, Yara, if you don’t start explaining things right now, Then I’m coming back,” Tessa hissed. “Two massive guys in black suits literally watched me pack my bags, escorted me out, and drove me all the way to New Jersey. They didn't say a single word the entire ride. And the street... Yara, when we walked out, the crushed car was gone. Everything was gone….it looked like nothing had even happened. Who the hell is Kieran Volkov?” My grip tightened on the phone. My heart ached at the terror in her voice—terror I had dragged her into. “He’s exactly who the media says he is, Tess. A very powerful, very wealthy athlete who takes his security way too seriously. The men who came after me last night were... stalkers. People obsessed with the fact that he suddenly claimed me in public. Kieran’s family handles
Playing Pretend With The Mafia Hockey Star 023: KILL ME VOLKOV...KILL ME
YARA POV My heart hammered violently against my ribs, but I refused to look away."Then why didn't you do it?" I whispered, my voice shaking slightly despite my best efforts to keep it steady. "If it is that easy for you, Kieran, why didn't you just leave me dead in that parking lot? Why go through the trouble of the police station, the paparazzi, and this fake relationship?"Kieran did not answer immediately. His gaze dropped to my lips, then flicked back to my eyes. The silence between us stretched until the sound of the idling engine felt too loud."Because you are more useful to me alive right now," he said, his voice dropping into a low tone. "But usefulness has an expiration date, Yara. Do not push your luck."He pulled away from me, shifting the heavy truck back into drive. He hit the accelerator, and the tires screeched against the asphalt as we surged back onto the highway. He did not look at me again for the rest of the drive. He kept his eyes locked on the road, his large
Playing Pretend With The Mafia Hockey Star 022: KIERAN
The man on the pavement had a cold, unbothered expression on his face. He adjusted the flap of his dark suit jacket, his eyes locked onto the window where I stood. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a phone, and tapped the screen.A second later, my phone buzzed in my hand again.You have two minutes. If you try to call anyone, we go up the stairs."Yara, you are freaking me out," Tessa said. She walked over to the window, trying to peer over my shoulder. "Who is that guy? Why is he looking up here? And where did your driver go?""Tessa, stay away from the window," I said. My voice was sharp, sharper than I intended, but the adrenaline was already flooding my veins.I backed away from the glass, my mind racing. Pavel was gone. That meant they had either gotten rid of him quietly or forced him to move, neither of which boded well for us. If I called Kieran, the man downstairs would see me on the phone. If I ran down the back fire escape, they probably had someone covering the alle
