LaraThis man ran down the alley. He left me there, all alone.One second, he was crashing his hot lips to mine, making me want to feel his mouth everywhere, dueling for a taste and growling with desire.Then the next?I huffed, feeling my hard breath against my fingertips.The next second, he was just gone.He'd run from me, and I couldn't withstand the whiplash.I felt the phantom push of his body against mine as he held me to the wall. I shivered, recalling the sensation of his rough fingers gripping my chin, his firm lips tickling and teasing my sensitive flesh below my ear.From utter, rabid heat and want... to nothing.I stood there, continuing to stare down the unlit path he'd sprinted down. Catching my breath and trying to make sense of this sudden, abrupt stop to the pleasure he teased me with, I blinked and fought the urge to scream.How could he just go like that?I pushed off the wall, rubbing my lips and wondering how long the burn of his kiss would linger there. He'd zap

LaraIn the morning, I woke up unsettled and still bothered about how quickly I'd lowered my guard for that man who'd chased me into the alley.I sat up in bed, frowning at the time. I'd overslept, but it was just as well that I had. When my alarm clock went off earlier, I lacked any energy to get up and start my day. Plus, my stomach was upset. Sleeping in helped, but I couldn't avoid reality for good. I had a second shift to deal with at the clinic.Yawning wide, I stretched and slipped out of bed. I didn't have an appetite for toast, all that I had in the cupboards for breakfast, and I gagged at the smell of coffee."When is this going to be over?" I rubbed my stomach and sat down on the couch. The place wasn't messy yet. I'd only moved in a couple of weeks ago and I still hadn't emptied all the boxes.I didn't have much to unpack. I was orphaned when I was three, and my life had lacked stability ever since. I was in and out of foster homes, then once I was eighteen, in and out of

AnatoliZakh entered the back room at one of our restaurants. My brothers and other top soldiers were waiting for him, and I glanced at each of them in turn.No one looked happy, least of all Zakh. I didn't blame him.I was furious."How bad is it?" Desmier asked Zakh as he sat for our meeting. He'd called us all here after he personally checked in on the damage.Last night, those men I was suspicious of turned out to be affiliates of the Ortez Cartel. Just like I fucking thought. When I slipped outside to chase down Lara, they put their plan into action.I'd turned back to Harrow's when I saw Steven Murphy and his other cop friend laughing and walking away. It was my first clue to get back to what I was supposed to be doing. But I was too late. By the time I re-entered the strip club, the Cartel members had begun their attack."The aftermath isn't pretty," Zakh said, rubbing his brow. "Four dancers were killed. Lots of property damaged. Many scared clientele." He grunted, shaking his

LaraTime stood still. I rolled back to the other side of the van's cargo space as they sped away. My head hit the cold metal surface hard. I wasn't knocked out. My eyes worked. I saw the darkness back in this windowless space.But I was stunned, suspended in this numbing paralysis of stark, sickening terror. My heart thundered a furious beat against my ribs, and I couldn't suck in enough air. I didn't think. I couldn't. My body did what it had to do, and I couldn't control any motion. Thoughts didn't file through my mind.I locked down, frozen with the utter doom that I'd been kidnapped.A gag was strapped down over my mouth, roughly and hastily tied there by one of the masked thugs as they'd carried me to the van.Hard braids of ropes cut into my wrists and ankles, coiled there by yet another thug.In the blink of an eye, I was captured, mercilessly thrown back here with no hope. I couldn't run. I couldn't even sit up. No options were available to me.All I could do was stare out at

LaraBright light blinded me, and I squinted to combat the sudden glaring illumination that filled the cargo space. Men stood there, looking in. I hated the position, being looked down on, but with my limited vision as the spotlights burned so harshly behind them, I noticed one clear thing.They wore no masks.They didn't care if I saw them. They didn't count on letting me escape or live to identify them.I'm going to die.I knew it now, and with a last reserve of energy at that terrifying thought, I kicked and thrashed, bucking and growling as they reached in and hauled me out. Nothing worked. I couldn't hurt them with my mouth gagged and my limbs bound.But I tried. I refused to go down weak and docile. I resisted the touch of their filthy hands and fought the best I could. Like one of the feral, rabid cats that sometimes came to the vet clinic, I twisted and exerted all my strength into trying to break free.They dropped me roughly in a warehouse room. Cold concrete didn't buffer m
