Tear you apart

Liora's POV

Viktor’s grip on my arm felt like iron.

My heart slammed against my ribs as he dragged me into the storage room, closing the door behind us. His eyes were cold, calculating, nothing like the loyal guard I had seen for months.

“You should’ve minded your own business,” he hissed, pressing me against the wall. “Now I have to deal with you.”

Fear clawed up my throat. But something stronger pushed through — pure, desperate anger.

“If you hurt me,” I whispered, “Nikolai will tear you apar

  • The Mafia King's Collateral    You feel that?

    Nikolai’s POVThe last of my restraint snapped the moment she kissed me again with that same soft, tipsy insistence.I gripped her hips firmly and stood in one smooth motion, lifting her with me. She let out a quiet sound of surprise and instinctively wrapped her legs around my waist, arms tightening around my neck. The movie continued playing uselessly in the background as I carried her toward the bedroom, her mouth already seeking mine again in small, wine-sweet kisses along the way.“You’re done teasing,” I said against her lips, voice low and controlled. “No more movie. No more distracting me.”She only smiled into the next kiss, still soft and spoiled in my arms. I laid her down on the bed carefully and followed, bracing myself over her. For a moment I simply looked at her — flushed cheeks, slightly hazy eyes, lips parted and already kiss-swollen. Then I brushed her hair aside, fully exposing the fresh tattoo behind her ear.Yours.The word sat there, clean and permanent agains

  • The Mafia King's Collateral    A little

    Nikolai’s POVLiora was still in my lap when she decided the evening needed a new plan.She shifted until she was comfortably straddling me, arms draped around my neck, and looked at me with that soft, spoiled expression she had been wearing since she first climbed onto me.“Order something,” she said. “And put on a movie. I want to stay like this.”I raised a brow, hands resting on her hips. “You’re giving orders now?”She nodded, completely unapologetic. “Yes. Food. Movie. You.”A low breath left me, half amusement, half resignation. I reached for my phone without making her move and ordered a simple spread - pizza, a few lighter dishes, and a bottle of wine. Then I turned on the large screen across from the sofa and put on the first movie that required no real attention. By the time the food arrived, she had already made herself at home against my chest, legs tucked around me, clearly with no intention of sitting properly.We ate like that. I fed her more than she fed herself, and

  • The Mafia King's Collateral    Maybe a little

    Nikolai’s POVThe suite had settled into a quiet, late-afternoon stillness. I sat on the edge of the large sofa with Liora close beside me, one arm resting along the back cushion behind her. My phone was in my other hand, though I was only half looking at it. Every so often my gaze drifted to the side of her head, to the place where her hair partially covered the fresh tattoo behind her ear. The word was still there, permanent and private, and the knowledge of it continued to sit under my skin in a way I had not fully settled yet.I was trying to remain composed. After the intensity of the studio and the careful aftercare, I had deliberately slowed everything down. I wanted the moment to breathe. I wanted her comfortable. What I had not accounted for was how quickly she would decide that calm was optional.She shifted first, moving from her place beside me and climbing directly into my lap without warning. Her knees settled on either side of my thighs as she made herself comfortab

  • The Mafia King's Collateral    Come here honey

    Nikolai’s POVThe walk back to the suite felt longer than it should have.Liora stayed close beside me, her hand in mine, but my attention kept drifting. Every few steps I found myself glancing down at the side of her head, at the place where her hair partially covered the fresh tattoo behind her ear. The knowledge of what was written there sat heavily under my skin. Yours. Four letters. Permanent. Chosen by her. I had remained controlled in the studio, but the restraint was beginning to thin now that we were alone.The moment the suite door closed behind us, the quiet of the room settled around me like pressure. Liora slipped off her shoes and turned toward me, still slightly flushed from the experience. I watched her for a second longer than necessary before speaking.“Come here.”She walked over without hesitation. I lifted both hands and carefully brushed her hair back behind her ear, exposing the small protective covering over the fresh ink. My thumb hovered just beneath it, c

  • The Mafia King's Collateral    Does it hurt?

    Nikolai’s POVWe returned to the tattoo studio the following afternoon.Liora had spent part of the morning quietly reviewing the designs we had taken the day before, spreading the papers out on the bed while I watched her from the chair near the window. She was thoughtful rather than hesitant, turning the options over in her mind with a seriousness that told me she had already made her decision. When she finally looked up at me and said she was ready, I only nodded and told her to change into something comfortable.The same artist from the day before greeted us when we stepped inside. The studio was just as quiet and clean as before. Liora stayed close to my side as we were led to a private station near the back. I could feel the slight tension in her body, not fear exactly, but the natural nervousness of someone about to permanently mark their skin for the first time.“You’re sure?” I asked her quietly while the artist prepared his tools.She nodded, though her fingers tightened

  • The Mafia King's Collateral    Nothing big

    Nikolai’s POVThe lazy day we had agreed on stretched comfortably into the early afternoon. We had spent most of the morning in the suite - slow kisses, quiet conversation, and long stretches of simply existing against each other without any urgency. By the time hunger finally made itself known, Liora was curled against my side on the sofa, idly tracing patterns on my chest.“I could eat,” she said softly.I looked down at her. “What do you feel like?”She thought for a moment, then gave a small, almost sheepish smile. “Pizza. Something simple. No fancy restaurant.”I smiled and pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Pizza it is.”We got dressed casually - her in a soft sundress, me in a plain shirt and dark pants - and left the suite without any real plan beyond finding somewhere good. The resort had a few casual spots, but I chose a quieter path that led toward a small stretch of local shops just outside the main grounds. The walk was unhurried. Her hand stayed in mine, and every so of

  • 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 silk robe felt like a punishment.I tied the thin belt with shaking fingers, the fabric whispering against my bare skin. No bra. No panties.

    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

    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
