LOGINDanikaKazimir did not move aside.The nurse stood in the corridor with her medical bag and her polite smile, waiting for permission that was not going to come. I clutched the sheet higher over my chest and watched his shoulders block the entire doorway. The cracked headboard still loomed behind me. The brand’s history still rang in my ears. My father’s men had burned that mark into him the night they wiped out his family. And now Softiya’s personal nurse was standing at my door with a request neither of us had authorized.“She is not available tonight,” Kazimir said. His voice was pure ice.The nurse’s smile thinned. “The matron was very clear. A simple wellness check before Moscow. Blood pressure. Heart rate. It will take ten minutes.”“No.”The single word landed like a door slamming. The nurse glanced past him toward me, then back to his face. Whatever she saw there made her reconsider pushing further. She inclined her head a fraction, murmured something about informing the matron
DanikaI traced the raised edge of the brand with my fingertips first.Kazimir was still buried inside me, chest flush against my back, the cold glass of the balcony door pressing against my breasts. Snow drifted past the floodlights outside in thin, silent sheets. His breathing had gone shallow the moment I touched the mark. Under the thin layer of ink the scar tissue was too deliberate, too evenly burned, too deep. Not a surgical cut. Not an accident. A brand.I turned my head, found the place with my mouth, and dragged my tongue slowly across the raised edge.The sound that left him was raw and broken.His control snapped so hard I felt the exact second it happened in the sudden grip of his hands on my hips. He pulled out of me with a wet sound that made my empty body clench, spun me around like I weighed nothing, and threw me onto the bed in one violent motion. I bounced once on the mattress before he was over me, shoving my thighs wide open with his knees and driving back inside
DanikaThe words stayed in the air long after he said them.This wasn’t an outside threat. Someone inside the house is watching us fuck.Kazimir set the tablet down with careful control that did not match the look in his eyes. Paranoia flooded the compound before sunrise. He pulled every camera feed he could reach, ordered Maksim to lock down the secondary servers, and refused to let me leave the suite without him at my back. Staff were limited to two trusted faces. Meals came on sealed trays. My father was told there was an elevated external threat and accepted the explanation with cold, narrow eyes that made my stomach turn.Kazimir refused to leave my side even for sleep.He cleared the panic room first—a windowless concrete box behind a false panel in the west corridor, stocked with weapons and bottled water and a narrow cot. The second the reinforced door sealed behind us he had me against the wall. There was no slow build. He dragged my trousers down, lifted me, and pushed insid
DanikaI stared at the photo until my eyes burned.The angle was clear. Me bent over the fitting bench. Kazimir behind me, one hand covering my mouth, the open back of the black dress framing the exact place where he was buried inside me. Timestamped less than thirty seconds before the seamstress returned. Someone had been watching us in a room that was supposed to be private.Kazimir took one look at the screen and the temperature in the suite dropped.He locked the door, pulled the heavy curtains across the boarded glass, and started tearing the room apart with cold, lethal focus. Every vent. Every light fixture. Every piece of furniture that could hide a lens. I sat on the edge of the bed with the phone still in my hand and watched the professional mask crack into something far more dangerous. This was not the controlled bodyguard who stood behind my chair at breakfast. This was the man who had already killed for less.“You do not leave this room,” he said without looking at me. “N
DanikaThe gala announcement sat over the table like a blade.Fully visible. Both of us. In Moscow. My father’s eyes stayed on my face for a long moment after he spoke, measuring my reaction, then moved to Kazimir with the same cold calculation. I kept my expression neutral even while the last pulses of the orgasm Kazimir had forced from me under the table still fluttered between my legs. His fingers had left me wet and aching and furious at how easily he could take me apart in a room full of people.Preparation began that same afternoon.The estate’s private fitting room was turned into a temporary atelier. Racks of dresses arrived under armed guard. A thin seamstress with pins in her mouth and nervous eyes measured me in silence while Kazimir stood near the door and watched everything. My father had ordered a full wardrobe for the event. Kazimir simply started rejecting pieces.The first three dresses were dismissed with a short shake of his head. Too much coverage. Too safe. Too mu
DanikaThe words stayed with me long after he pulled out and the sweat on our skin started to cool.Your father dies by my hand. But you… you live.I lay on my back staring at the ceiling while Kazimir’s breathing slowed beside me. His come leaked out of me onto the sheets. My hips still carried the fresh bruises from his fingers. The confession sat heavier than the physical ache. He had planned to kill me for three years. He had placed the hit himself. And now he was promising to kill my father instead. I should have been terrified. Part of me was. The rest of me only felt the residual pulse of him between my legs and the dangerous pull that had not lessened even after the truth.Morning light came too soon.We showered separately. I dressed in a high-neck black sweater and tailored trousers that covered every mark he had left. When I stepped into the corridor he was already waiting in full professional mode—coat on, face empty, the perfect bodyguard again. The contrast made my stoma
