The swirl of emotions I was feeling as I followed Irina on her motorbike had me very confused. As I had watched her speeding away from me, going so fast I was almost hard put to keep up, all I could think was if she hit something at that speed there was no way she could survive.

The cold grue that filled my chest at the thought could only be attributed to fear. But what possible reason did I have to fear for Irina? I barely knew her.

“What the fuck?” I said to myself as the Boston city skyline came into sight. “First of all, where the hell was she going? And who told her she could go crazy on a motorbike? Honestly Sasha spoiled her.”

Great, now I was talking to myself. I don’t even know why I followed Irina this morning. She left so early, I was curious about where she was going on the morning after her wedding day. Seeing her have breakfast with Sasha wasn’t exactly a shock. She was probably giving her first report.

Not that there was anything much she could tell him. Their conversat

  • The Queen's Gambit   Irina

    Why did I make that deal?I’m not particularly bothered that Sean isn’t sleeping with me – it’s just that, I don’t know why he’s not and I like to keep my men predictable. If he married me, and doesn’t want to have sex with me…then what does he want?It’s a little terrifying to think about if I’m being honest. The leaders of Organized Crime – be it Italian or Irish, Russian or Black, are fucking psychos. You just never know what they might be thinking.Clearly Sean’s reticence doesn’t stem from lack of interest – he actually sounded worried when he was complaining about me going off without telling anyone. Almost as worried as Roman would sound if he knew. I’m not quite sure what to make of that.Now that Natasha doesn’t have to pretend to be a maid, she’s discarded the demure clothing and is back in combat gear, fully armed and assuming the military posture that was her wont before we came here.She definitely seems more relaxed in a weird kind of way, and so am I. I stand up, decidin

  • The Queen's Gambit   Irina

    “I think he’s scared of me.” I picked up my coffee cup and took a large sip, looking around the busy café.Roman snorted. “So maybe he isn’t as foolish as I thought he was.” He leaned back on his chair, studying me closely. He’d called early in the morning, asking to meet me. I knew he was worried about how Sean might choose to treat me. My big brother Roman, always the worry wort.I cocked an eyebrow at him but didn’t say anything else. He was kind of right.“So now what?” he asked, his big hand dwarfing the expresso cup he was holding.I shrugged. “Well, the peace is holding so…”“You ready to live like this for a whole year?” he gave me an incredulous look.“Eh,” I shrugged again, “It’s not so bad. It’s not as if he’s beating me.”Clouds gathered on Roman’s face. “If he tried that I’d kill him myself.”I gave him a smug half smile. “I expect he knows that.”He reached out and took my hand in his. “Distrustful husband aside, you good?”I laughed. “It’s only been one day. Gimme some

  • The Queen's Gambit   Sean

    I stared at the girl splayed on my bed, her long curvy body calling to me like a siren. I didn’t think my dick had ever been this hard; literally standing straight and straining against the soft wool of my towel like it was a prison. I don’t think I’ve ever really known the definition of blue balls. I’ve never really known the pain of frustration.Not like this.Irina was lying in front of me like an invitation but something stopped me from jumping her bones like I wanted to. Something like a sense of self preservation. Maybe the same caution that had kept me alive all these years.Why is she really here?We were always going to end up here – with her in my bed. But this felt too easy. So I didn’t trust it. I didn’t put it past her and her brother to have concocted some scheme which involved using her as a honey pot. Everything I knew about Roman Dobrev spoke against him ever using his sister in that way; but what if it was her idea?One thing I did know about these Russians, they wou

  • The Queen's Gambit   Irina/Sean

    I wasn’t expecting a honeymoon or anything like that, but I also hadn’t expected to spend my first night in Sean’s house all alone. The man dropped me off after the wedding reception held at one of my brother’s hotels, and said he had some work to do. Then he took off. Left me holding my wedding dress and surrounded by my luggage.My maid, Natasha, put away my things before going off to find her own quarters. Sean had told me that there was a cook on call should I want something to eat but otherwise, Natasha and I were on our own.I changed out of my wedding dress, taking great pleasure in clearing my face of make up before having a long hot shower and then lounging around in my pajamas and robe. I found a steamy romance to read on the shelf in the library, made myself some tea and a cheese sandwich and settled down to spend a peaceful evening.Natasha came in to join me, sitting across from me in the library with a sigh. “Well I have looked around. Not much. I don’t think he spends m

  • The Queen's Gambit   Sean

    Somehow I didn’t expect for the Pakhan to agree to the bargain his sister made but here he is, sitting opposite me, flanked by his sister and his lawyer, as we hash out the terms.He’s already promised to cut my balls off twice, if I harm a single hair on Irina’s head. She has such a glorious, platinum mane, why would I want to hurt it? Or really, any part of her.I had a sister once. I know what it is to be protective. The former Pakhan planted a car bomb six years ago, as she and my father were coming home from a gathering in Chicago.They didn’t make it.I don’t blame Roman. He wasn’t even in the country at the time. But Irina was. She would have been around seventeen then. She probably didn’t know much about operations but she might. I want to know what happened that day.That doesn’t mean I mean her any harm.My lawyer is a shark and he squeezes as much as he can out of this deal.“The wedding will take place on Saturday. We will arrange everything. Details will be sent to you.”
