LOGINREVA Levi and my father stood side by side, watching me twirl in the middle of the apartment, taking it all in. The place still smelled faintly of fresh paint and effort, of hours spent working together, and I couldn't help but smile. They had done an excellent job, and I told them so, my voice filled with awe as I turned once more, already imagining how it would look once everything was in place. The covers that remained draped over my furniture would be removed in the morning, when the lighting was better, and I had the energy to fuss over every detail. For the time being, the evening had settled in, and the two men in my life were getting ready to leave. They wanted to uncover everything, but I stopped them because the time was 10:30 p.m. Mom also wanted her man back. “Are you sure you don't want to come home with me?" My father asked again, his tone gentle. “Only for tonight. The place is still disorganized." I declined the offer with a smile as I approached him. “I'm sure,
REVA“Darling, you're home," my father said, his voice softening as he approached me, taking care not to get too close due to the paint. “You didn't call your mother or me to pick you up." “I got a ride," I replied quickly. “James was getting off, so he dropped me." Relief flickered across his face, and I took a step forward, hugging him as carefully as I could without smearing paint on myself. It turned into an awkward half-hug. Pulling back, my eyes immediately found Levi, and everything else faded away for a moment. God, he was sexy even without the usual sharp tailored fabrics that fit him like they were made for him—which they most likely were. My man wore a plain white T-shirt that had clearly seen better days, now adorned with streaks and splashes of paint that told the tale of his inexperience. The fabric clung to him, just enough to highlight the strength beneath it, and the sleeves slid slightly around his arms as he moved. His jeans were definitely not for this type o
HUNTERI stopped just outside Nikolai’s hospital room and took a deep breath, dragging a hand down my face. The irritation was still there, simmering under my skin. But I pushed it down.This was my second chance, and I wasn’t about to ruin it by walking in there with an attitude. So I straightened, wiped whatever expression I had off my face, and stepped inside.Nikolai lay in the bed, staring ahead, but the moment I entered, his head turned toward me, and I paused. He looked… worse.“I thought you didn’t want to see me again,” I said as I walked further in, and his gaze stayed on me.“Desperate times,” he said as I pulled a chair closer and sat down beside his bed, leaning back slightly.“What is this about?” I asked.“I need your help.”“I’m listening,” I said.He swallowed, his eyes shifting for just a second before coming back to me. “I need proof that Reva got with Levi before our divorce was finalized.”That caught my attention, but I didn’t interrupt. “I want you to have her f
HUNTER “Turn it off," I gasped, my voice straining as Alan's cock continued to throb with the remnants of our passion within me. My hands unclenched from the sheets to grip his arm, urging him to forget Nikolai and promising to call him later.But Alan shifted slightly, causing me to moan at the way he filled me before speaking. “No, you're going to answer now and find out what he wants," he growled, his eyes locked on mine with that fierce intensity that always undid me.“Have you forgotten what is important?" I thought we were important, and that this moment, which we had waited for so long, was important. But before I could protest, his lips claimed mine in a possessive kiss, his tongue plunging deep as he began thrusting again, this time more shallowly, his body pinning me in place once more.The phone stopped ringing right in that moment, only to ring again less than a second later, and he drew back just enough for his fingers to hit answer, switching to the speaker in the pro
NIKOLAI Heaving sounds filled the room, drowning out the rushing footsteps toward the door as the bitch finally got the message and left me alone. I struggled for control, my inner voice louder than the burning lump in my throat, telling me that I would not break. I would not give them satisfaction.But the door opened again before I could regain control, and quick, urgent footsteps followed soon after. I didn't have to look to know it wasn't the nurse this time.“Mr. Belkov, what is—?"“Get out."My voice cut through his words, sharp and final, just as the bastard approached me. I didn't look up at him, but I could feel his gaze on me, assessing and calculating, attempting to piece together whatever story the nurse had already begun telling him.“I was told there was some distress," he said, even though I had told him to leave, his words careful as if he were stepping on thin ice. “Can you tell me what—?"“I said, get out." Was he fucking deaf? He refused to move, which drove me ins
NIKOLAII stared at her as if I blinked, she would vanish before my chest constricted sharply enough to cut through the numbness I had grown accustomed to.My first thought was confusion rather than relief as I questioned her presence in this place. She was dressed in hospital clothes, so it was clear she wasn't visiting.My gaze quickly swept over her, instinctively searching for injuries, anything that could give me an explanation, while my heart thudded uncomfortably.Was she hurt? Was she...?My thoughts faltered as I shifted my gaze to see her parents with her. Their table was a short distance away, half in the sun and half in the shade. And then I saw him—Levi Price—and everything inside of me dropped.The air left my lungs in a slow, burning exhale, leaving a dark and bitter lump in my chest as I questioned his presence here. No. A better question arose immediately afterwards.What was he still doing with her?My jaw tightened, and my fingers curled against the wheelchair's arm
REVAThe jet's descent was so smooth that I barely noticed the ground until the wheels touched the private runway behind Levi's home. And San Francisco stretched beyond the perimeter, the city I both loved and dreaded, patiently waiting for me.By the time the jet came to a halt, a black luxury sed
REVAThe cup spun through the air and exploded against Hunter's shoulder, splattering coffee across his expensive coat and dripping on the table. There was a half-second of stunned silence before everything erupted. Hunter jumped to his feet so violently that his chair toppled backward. “Are you c
REVALevi's eyes shifted as the question left my mouth, and right on cue, the voice from earlier screamed inside my head, asking. “What do you think you're doing? Of course, you're just pretending. A man like Levi Price would never go for someone like you." My chest clenched, as if the cold had fi
NIKOLAI“I’m not taking her side. Did I say I was taking her side?” “You didn’t have to, Nik!” Hunter barked. “The fact that you’re questioning me is enough! Why would I screw Allen? Why would I cheat on you? Have you lost your mind?”“Why would Reva lie?” I fired back. “That’s what I’m trying to
