Alexei POV

“I have something I want to show you.” Dante gestures for me to follow him out back. It’s late, past midnight, and I don’t like leaving Talia alone at the hotel, but at least Damon is in the lobby, keeping an eye out for me.

I just hope he stays sober enough to recognize any problems that might pop up. “Don’t worry so much.” Dante waves off my concerns. “I got a couple of my guys parked outside of the hotel. If they see anything, I’ll be the first to know.”

It shouldn’t surprise me

    Alexei POV “I have something I want to show you.” Dante gestures for me to follow him out back. It’s late, past midnight, and I don’t like leaving Talia alone at the hotel, but at least Damon is in the lobby, keeping an eye out for me.I just hope he stays sober enough to recognize any problems that might pop up. “Don’t worry so much.” Dante waves off my concerns. “I got a couple of my guys parked outside of the hotel. If they see anything, I’ll be the first to know.”It shouldn’t surprise me that he’s already figured out where we’re staying. California is Dante turf, and he’s got eyes and ears everywhere. Still, they are guys I don’t know.“You should have spoken to me first,” I tell him.Dante stops, meeting my gaze in challenge. “Are you telling me I need to ask permission from you to protect my own daughter? My grandson?”I consider my words carefully but refuse to back down on this. “She might be your daughter, but she’s my future wife and I look out for both of them, I don’t kn

    Talia POV Dante nods to dismiss the man who disappears then reappears a moment later with a bottle of vodka.I have never heard of this brand, but I gather from the decorative bottle it’s a fairly exclusive one. Dante pours for Alexei and me without asking if we want it, but honestly, I could use it.We sit in awkward silence while Dante watches me, drinking three times the vodka I manage to.When the chicken nuggets come, Alexei takes Ethan to sit on his lap, and Ethan starts to eat.Dante watches him for a long minute. “He’s yours?” he asks Alexei.“Yes.”Dante nods, then turns to me.“She named you after my sister,” he finally says. “They were good friends.”“They were?” I suddenly feel so sad because I know nothing about my mother not even one thing“She died young too, cancer. One year before your mother…was forced to leave.” His voice hardens at the end, and he pours himself another vodka, his grip hard on the bottle.“I don’t know anything about her because I don’t remember an

    Talia POV Ethan and I sit in the back of the SUV while Alexei rides in front. I’m anxious as we weave through rush-hour traffic, the driver was not saying a word and Alexei was texting something into my phone. Since his was switched off, he left it in the room charging and took mine. “I’m hungry, Mommy,” Ethan says.“We’ll get you something to eat soon,” I tell him. He hasn’t eaten since our late lunch, and I don’t have a snack with me.“We’re almost there,” Alexei says, turning a little.I nod, biting my lip. A few minutes later, the SUV comes to a stop, and both Alexei and the driver climb out.The driver opens my door, and I slip out. Alexei grabs Ethan up in his arms and keeps hold of him. We walk toward the two men standing beside the door.“Bag,” the one says to me.I’m confused, and I look back at Alexei who nods and I open my bag for him to look inside. Alexei took the gun and placed it in the hotel safe before we left.After looking through my bag, the man tells me to stretc

  • Viktor Blacktop Bride    He's Back

    Talia POV It’s late afternoon when I hear Alexei knock, the three taps, a pause, then one more. I get up from the bed where I’m watching the door while Ethan is wholly absorbed by the TV and unlock the bolt from inside.“Thank God,” I say, melting into his arms as soon as I see him, that knot in my stomach finally coming undone.“Daddy!” Ethan comes charging off the bed and launches himself against Alexei legs.“This might be the best greeting I’ve ever had,” Alexei says, lifting Ethan with one arm and hugging us back.We walk into the room, and he closes the door behind him. I step backward. He sets Ethan down and rustles his hair. “Did you just take a bath?”“Mommy and me went swimming.”He looks up at me. “I sent you a text, didn’t you get it?”“Shit.” He pulls his phone out of his back pocket and walks to where the chargers sit on the table as he plugs his in and puts it down. “I didn’t have my phone on me for most of the day, and by the time I got it back, it was out of charge.”

  • Viktor Blacktop Bride    Swimming

    Talia POV “Can we swim now, Mommy?”I turn from the window to find that Ethan has stripped down to his underwear and is clutching toy. He’s standing by the door with his hand on the doorknob, and I remember Alexei had promised to take him swimming today.I have to smile when I walk toward him and crouch down so we’re at eye level. I brush hair back from his face and think how much like Alexei it is. How it constantly flops this way or that no matter what I do with it.“Why are you in your underwear, Alexei? Where are your clothes?”“Daddy said he’ll take me swimming.”Daddy, how easily he accepts this and it’s a relief.“Ah,” I say. “I guess in lieu of a swimsuit, you thought your briefs would do. Smart.”I ruffle his hair and check the time. Late morning and the minutes are crawling by as I wait for Alexei to return, fighting back that niggling thought that he might not return.“I’ll tell you what, let’s get you dressed because you can’t swim in your undies and Mommy certainly can’t

  • Viktor Blacktop Bride    His Unknown Daughter

    Alexei POV When we get to the bottom of the stairs, Dante is waiting at a bar that appears to be set up for his own private use. He gestures for us to sit down beside him, and then looks at his men.“Put in some headphones. We’re going to have a conversation.”The soldiers do as he requests. Standing like sentinels at the entrance to the stairs, they watch us carefully as Dante pours three glasses of vodka.“It’s been a long time since I’ve heard her name.” He slides a glass in my direction, following up with one for Damon. “How did you know her?”Damon looks at me, and I nod at him to go ahead.“She used to come into the club,” he tells Dante. Dante stares at him like he’s reaching into his soul, and already, I can see the tension creeping in around his eyes. We need to tread carefully here, and I just hope Damon chooses his words with caution.“Once a week, she’d meet with Matteo and I never spoke with her at that time and didn’t know much about her but I started to piece together
