SHADOW AND BLOOD: THE PRICE OF LOVING YOU CHAPTER THIRTY - NINE
NICK WALKER ©I was that nineteen-year-old boy who didn't have his life figured out like everyone else seemed to.It wasn't an easy life, but I had no choice but to pull myself together.From the moment my mother left, I planned the path I wanted to follow.Stay by Mira's side until the very end.Work until I had everything settled for her.And earn a scholarship to college to avoid college bills.Nothing about me mattered as long as I had everything figured out for Mira.But why did I suddenly want something for myself for the first time?There was only one thing I wanted to get so bad.And it was the man standing right in front of me.I couldn't understand why, but I knew one thing for sure.I didn't want to stay away from him.I wanted those moments between us to continue.Lorenzo Grayson.I didn't truly know what I wanted from life, but somehow, I knew I wanted him to be part of mine.Was that wrong?“Then get on your knees,Nick,” Enzo said, holding my gaze as my heart pounded so

LORENZO GRAYSON \ VADIM KERZHAKOV ©The morning I had planned wasn't supposed to include Vanya.Yet there she was, sitting in the passenger seat with her heels resting on the dashboard, staring out the window as I drove to college.After our argument last night, neither of us brought it up.Before I even woke up properly, Vanya was already dressed and ready.The moment I turned on the engine, she got into the car without saying a word.I gave her a look the moment she entered my car.“You don't expect me to sit around all day in that huge house waiting for you to come back from college, do you?” she asked.“No smoking on the institute premises,” I told her as I drove to college.She turned her gaze back to the window.“So we're setting rules now?” she asked“And stay away from Nick,” I warned.“And the Minister's daughter?” she asked and I turned to her.“Alina,” I corrected before focusing back on the road.“You're more protective of Nick than Ali...” she said, but I cut her off.“I

LORENZO GRAYSON\ VADIM KERZHAKOV ©Lightning flashed across the sky, lighting up the road for a brief second before thunder followed.Vanya looked out the window before glancing up at the dark clouds.“Etot dozhd' ne prekratitsya yeshche nekotoroye vremya, kogda on nachnetsya,” she said as I drove.{This rain isn't going to stop anytime soon once it starts.}I hummed in response and kept my eyes on the road.We left Kyle's bar just before the rain started to fall.A light drizzle tapped against the windshield as we drove on the road. It was close to midnight.My thoughts drifted straight to Nick. He was probably on his way home in this weather.“Tell me you're not thinking about that kid,” Vanya said.I glanced at her before looking back at the road.“Конечно я.” {Of course, I am.}“What's your relationship with him anyway?” she asked.For a few seconds, I fell silent and the only sound in the car was the rain against the glass.What exactly is he to me?Just my student?I scoffed at

NICK WALKER ©The moment the woman Enzo called Vanya locked her blue eyes on me, I felt scared.Her gaze moved from my head down to my feet before she folded her arms and gave me a questioning look.“And who is this?” she asked and I quickly bowed my head politely.“I'm…” Enzo cut me off before I could finish.He spoke in a language that wasn't English, though it sounded familiar like he had spoken them before.The two of them exchanged words I couldn't understand before silence settled between them, and she turned back to me.She said something that I was sure was about me, making Enzo glance in my direction.“He's just my student,” Enzo said and the woman scoffed.I nervously bit my lip as they continued talking about me in each other's language. After a moment, Enzo let out a sigh and turned to me.“Why don't you come back later?” he said and I nodded quietly.“I'll take my leave, sir,” I said softly and headed for the door.The two men standing at the entrance stepped aside to le

NICK WALKER ©We had already left the house, and the drive was so very awkward. Neither of us said a word as the car moved through the morning traffic.I sighed and turned my attention to the window. My palms were sweaty. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened.“Just drop me off here. Thanks,” I said when we reached the street close to my house.I didn't want Avery finding out where I'd spent the night.But Enzo didn't slow down, he kept driving and I turned to look at him.“Did you hear me?” I asked but his eyes stayed on the road as he continued toward my house.“Stop the car,” I said. Enzo glanced at me before looking back at the road.“I can drop you off at home and drive you to school afterward,” he said and pulled up a stop in front of my house.I groaned.“Didn't you hear what I said earlier?” I asked. “I don't want my friend finding out about this.”One of his eyebrows rose.“Shouldn't I be the one concerned?” he asked. “I had my student

NICK WALKER ©I snuggled deeper into the hard pillow, though I was enjoying how comfortable the bed I slept on felt.Wait. Since when was my pillow this hard?My eyes flew open and met with a face inches away from mine.Enzo.I froze as I realized I wasn't lying on a pillow at all. My head was resting on his arm, and at some point during the night, I had curled up against him.I looked around the room and froze. It was already morning.The sun streamed through the curtains, lighting up the entire room. I gasped as I realized I hadn't gone home.“What the hell?” I half-yelled as I jumped out of bed. The sudden movement woke Enzo up.He lifted his head slightly and blinked at me, his eyes still heavy with sleep.“Fuck,” he muttered and turned to reach for the clock on the bedside table.I followed his gaze and my eyes widened.8:40 a.m.I had never slept this late before.“Why didn't you wake me up?” I asked as I searched for my phone.“I fell asleep too. Fuck, can you calm down for a s
