As she wrapped her legs around Rin’s waist and dug her fingers into his hair to kiss him back, she felt an inkling of fear grip her. If her father found out she was screwing around with Don Allegretti, he’d ship her to her grandfather without a second thought, she was certain of it. Yet, she couldn’t help herself. Having a man like him want her as much as he was saying he did make her recklessness go wild. She wanted all the things he’d listed earlier and then some. She sighed as Rin’s tongue ran along her lower lip and one hand wound around her waist to pull her closer to him. She parted her lips softly and he slipped his tongue past her teeth and tasted her. His nose brushed hers as he tilted her head, so he had better access to her mouth. His free hand was cupped around her neck, his thumb stroking her cheek while he drew her lower lip between his teeth and pulled back. “I want you,” he whispered against her mouth. “I want you too,” she forced her fear away as

Sasha slowly surfaced from her sleep knowing it would only be a few minutes before her alarm would go off. Intuitively, most likely because she despised being woken with a start, she always woke before the timer went off.Yet this felt different as she lay there. Her bed was too warm and at first, she reminded herself she was at Sonny’s and her own bed was in storage. Then the scent of pine and warm spices filled her nostrils and the heavy weight of an arm over her waist held her firmly to the mattress. Evened breathing told her she wasn’t the only one sleeping in her bed.Feeling like damn Goldilocks, she knew instantly who was asleep in her bed and wondered if this man understood what a boundary was. She opened her eyes blinking slowly and found herself nose to chest with a dark thatch of hair, golden skin, and an intense desire to snuggle right into it all. She reached her arm behind her to the nightstand and fumbled for her phone, shutting the alarm off

Sasha made her way back into Sonny’s house after waving Achilles off and found Rin watching her with narrowed eyes as she pushed the door into the foyer open. He was in a pair of dark-washed denim jeans and a white t shirt, and the casual look on him was a stark contrast to the rigid expression he held. “What?” “Who dropped you off?” “Security from the club.” “You went to the club?” he looked her up and down and she pondered if the shorts and t-shirt she was wearing were going to melt off her skin. “No. My father is leaving the country. Our compromise to having a full team while he’s gone is for our head of security at Gina’s to escort me to and from work. I was at my parent’s home when we negotiated.” “This man can’t just be back and forth to this house,” Rin protested. “It’s a security risk.” “Who do you think brings Sonny home every night?” she lifted an eyebrow. “Do you think we would trust his safety with anyone else?” He held his ha

A perfect match. The words rebounded in her head while she sat on the bed in the room she was occupying, reviewing her emails and reports. She was unfocused and scatter brained as his words floated in her mind. She was in over her head. Way over her head. She looked at the clock. Five thirty. She called Chastity knowing the choreography class should be done by now. “Hi. Did you fuck him?” Chastity’s voice was giggly and laughing. “I’m in so much trouble, Chas. He’s a sex god and I’m a mere mortal.” Chastity’s cheer made her pull the phone away from her ear. “You’re not a mere mortal, you’re Sasha Fucking Smith!” Chas corrected her with sass. “You run a conglomerate of businesses and you’re a multi-millionaire in your own right. You’re a shrewd businesswoman and smarter than most. If you want to fuck around with Rin Allegretti, fuck around with him.” “He and my father are friends.” Chastity went immediately silent. “Exactly, Chas. I found

Orion’s cheerful voice carried through her mostly closed door, and she exhaled. She was a showgirl, and she could keep her face happy for the masses so when she went out there, she would keep her smile on for the boy but inside she was shaking. It had been stupid to strike Angie, but she’d had it coming and nobody disrespected a Volkov and got away with it. It was evident Sonny’s family didn’t take seriously the warning Sonny and Rin had given them earlier in the day. They were still trying to push her out and it worked. She was officially done. She wiped a single tear off her cheek as she collected her belongings from the ensuite bathroom, standing in the shower stall to take her shampoo and bodywash. She had the memory of Rin pushing her against the tiles just this morning while she was getting cleaned up from finding him in her bed.It was the fastest and hottest love affair she’d ever had. They were too much at odds and with a family like his, they were never destined to be anyth
