LOGINREVA Levi's voice broke through the tension. “Danielle?" he asked, a note of surprise running through his otherwise steady tone. “Hey—what are you doing here?"“I—" she began at the same time, the word tripping over his, and for a second, they both stopped. That's when I noticed how taken aback she looked to see me, her eyes flickering to me, then back to Levi, and my thoughts began to race.Did she have the key to his place? How had she just walked in as if everything was normal? Like she belonged here.Her gaze returned to me, and she took a small, controlled breath before returning to Levi. “Can.. I speak to you alone for a moment?" she asked politely but firmly.I hadn't finished processing the request when Levi responded, and my heart skipped a beat at his response. “You can speak in front of Reva."The firmness in his voice left no room for negotiation, and I sensed a subtle shift in the room before Danielle swallowed hard.It was quick, almost imperceptible, but I noticed how
REVA 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
REVA A scream tore out of me as Nikolai's fingers clamped around my throat, but Nikki's voice echoed behind us before the sound had even fully left my lips. He released me instantly, stepping back like he’d been burned, just as Nikki rushed forward, eyes wide. “Are you okay?” I kept my eyes
LEVI Conversations echoed throughout the room, growing louder with each passing minute, but I barely heard any of them. My eyes were on Reva. They had been fixated since we left her suite, and she grew more beautiful with each passing second. The warm glow dancing across her skin, the soft cur
LEVI I stumbled toward the ship’s railings, the night air hitting my face sharply enough to jolt me but not nearly enough to clear the chaos inside my head. The noise from the party faded behind me, muffled into a distant hum as I gripped the railing hard enough for my knuckles to ache. I was on
REVA The police vehicles screeched to a stop in front of the building, tires shrieking loud enough to silence every thought in my head. Doors flew open, and officers jumped out, hands already hovering near their belts as they took in the chaos: two men restraining Nikolai, Levi bleeding beside me
