The Mafia King's Collateral Come here for a second
Liora’s POVThe sky had already begun to soften into shades of gold and pale pink by the time Nikolai led me outside. A single, sturdy bicycle waited near the edge of the path - clearly arranged in advance. It was built for two in the sense that there was space for me to sit behind him, a small cushioned seat and a metal bar I could hold onto. The sight of it made me glance up at him with a mix of surprise and quiet delight.“You’re serious,” I said, unable to hide the smile in my voice.“I am.” He swung one leg over the bike and settled onto the main seat, then looked back at me, holding out a hand. “Come here.”I hesitated only for a second before placing my hand in his. He steadied the bike as I climbed on behind him, carefully settling onto the rear seat. The moment I was secure, I wrapped my arms around his waist, pressing myself against his broad back. He felt warm and solid under my hands. When he started pedaling, the sudden movement made me tighten my hold instinctively.“I
The Mafia King's Collateral Ready?
Nikolai’s POVAfter we left the private massage suite, the spa staff guided us to a quiet recovery lounge reserved only for us. The space was soft and understated - low lighting, a wide cushioned daybed draped in light blankets, a small table with infused water and fresh fruit, and floor-to-ceiling windows that looked out onto a private garden. Two plush robes had been laid out for us. I helped Liora into hers first, tying the belt loosely at her waist before pulling on my own.She still moved a little slowly, her body clearly heavy with residual relaxation. I guided her to the daybed and sat first, then drew her down so she was settled between my legs, her back against my chest. She melted into me without resistance, letting out a long, contented breath as I wrapped my arms around her.“Better?” I asked quietly near her ear.“Mm. So much better,” she answered, her voice still soft and a little distant from the deep calm of the massage. “I feel like I could fall asleep right here.”
The Mafia King's Collateral In the best way
Nikolai’s POVThe private massage suite was warm and dimly lit, the air carrying a soft blend of sandalwood, citrus, and something floral I couldn’t name. Two wide treatment tables sat side by side, separated by only a small gap, each covered in crisp white linens and a light blanket. Soft instrumental music played at a low volume, and the faint sound of water trickling from a small wall feature added to the quiet atmosphere.Liora stood close to me, her fingers still loosely linked with mine as the two female therapists gave us a moment of privacy to change. I helped her out of her sundress with slow, careful hands, pressing a brief kiss to her bare shoulder before she slipped under the sheet on her table. I did the same on the table beside hers, lying on my stomach first as instructed. The gap between us was small enough that if I stretched my arm out, I could easily reach her.The therapists returned and began working in near silence. Warm oil was poured onto my back, followed
The Mafia King's Collateral Stay that way
Nikolai’s POVThe late morning light filtered softly through the sheer curtains of the suite, painting the room in warm gold. Liora was still half-draped over me on the large sofa where we had eventually settled the night before, her body soft and trusting against mine. She had fallen asleep in my arms after the clingy, playful stretch of the evening, and I had stayed awake longer than usual just watching her. Even now, with her breathing steady and her face relaxed, I found myself reluctant to move.I brushed a few strands of hair away from her cheek with the back of my fingers. She stirred at the touch, making a small sound before her eyes fluttered open. For a second she looked disoriented, then her gaze found mine and a slow, sleepy smile curved her lips.“Morning,” she murmured, voice still husky from sleep.“Afternoon, almost,” I corrected gently, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “You slept well.”She stretched against me like a contented cat, then immediately curled back int
The Mafia King's Collateral Wasn't planning to
Liora’s POVThe hot chocolate had warmed me from the inside out, and the soft fabric of Nikolai’s shirt against my skin still carried the faint scent of him. I was tucked against his side on the sofa, the blanket draped over both of us, but even that didn’t feel close enough. After everything he had done - carrying me, bathing me, dressing me, making me chocolate - a deep, playful need to stay glued to him had taken over.I shifted and climbed properly into his lap, wrapping my arms tightly around his neck and burying my face against his shoulder. “Don’t move,” I mumbled, voice soft and a little spoiled. “You’re not allowed to go anywhere.”I felt the low rumble of his chuckle against my chest. “I wasn’t planning to.”“Good.” I nuzzled closer, pressing my nose into the side of his neck. “You’re so warm. And you smell nice. And you took care of me so well. I’m staying right here forever.”His hand came up to stroke my back in slow, indulgent movements. “Forever is a long time, baby.”
The Mafia King's Collateral Now, drink.
Nikolai’s POVThe rain continued to fall in a steady, cool curtain around us as we kept swaying slowly in the open space beside the car. Liora’s soaked sundress clung to her body, her hair was plastered to her cheeks and neck, and yet she still looked at me with that bright, soft expression that always managed to undo me. Water dripped from my own hair and ran down the back of my neck, but I barely noticed. My arms stayed securely around her waist, keeping her close while we moved in that quiet, unhurried circle.After a moment she tilted her head back slightly and studied my face, her eyes searching mine through the rain.“Are you alright at all?” she asked, voice gentle and a little concerned. “You’re completely soaked because of me.”I smiled down at her, one hand rising to brush a wet strand of hair from her cheek even though it was a useless effort in the downpour. “Nothing about love stands with sanity,” I told her. “And for your sake, I don’t mind being crazy.”The words left
The Mafia King's Collateral Morning Light
Liora's POV Sunlight pierced the heavy velvet curtains like it had no right to be there. I hadn’t slept. Not really. Every time I closed my eyes, I felt that icy gray gaze dragging over my body in the study. The silk robe still lay draped over the chair where I’d dropped it last night, a silen

Liora's POV The black SUV smelled like expensive leather and barely contained danger.I sat rigid in the back seat, Alora pressed so tightly against my side that I could feel her little heart racing. The video of Ogura mocking me still played on loop in my mind, his laughter, the other woman’s mo
The Mafia King's Collateral The Debt Collector
Liora's POV The cheap bottle of wine felt heavy in my hand as I pushed open the apartment door. I had scraped together the last of my money for it — a pathetic little celebration after Ogura’s death. One night to toast freedom. One night to believe the bruises on my arms would finally fade and I
