It was a short ride through the city to get to Volkov Incorporated’s main building. The crowd outside was bustling, and employees and guests made their way inside. The city was dark, but the building lights were nearly blinding. Cars honked and chatter was loud. After taking in everything that was happening, I needed a cigarette at the end.Elena kept her hand in mine as we got out of the car. Her brilliant eyes were taking in the crowd and the building towering over us, easily one of the largest on this block. I pulled my hand away for a second to get out my smokes and light one before we went inside. Elena scrunched her face up as I took a long drag, but she went back to people watching.It wasn't long before someone in the crowd noticed me. Employees of Volkov Inc began waving and gesturing for me to join them as they moved inside and out of the slight chill in the air. "Do you work with them?" Elena whispered after I put out the cigarette. "No," I tugged her close and wrapped my a

There were restrooms around the corner from the top of stairs leading to the ballroom. No one was around as we made our way to the doors. The corridor was dimly lit, quiet except for the soft hum of music bleeding through the walls. Andrey Volkov’s presence beside me was magnetic, his scent, something dark, musky, and wild wrapped around me like invisible smoke."Is pink at least my color?" I asked when Elena reached for the door handle. I rubbed my chin and pursed my lips for her."You know I think it looks better on you. I will let you borrow it sometime."Her laughter brought a smile on my face and I gave her one last kiss before letting her slip in the bathroom.I never would have made a joke like that before, but there was something about Elena that brought out another side of me. It was dangerous, but with a taste of her on my lips, I didn't really care. Beneath the tailored suit, I felt the slow ripple of something primal move through me, a quiet growl I swallowed down before i

The curtain was pulled back suddenly and my eyes snapped open instinctively to look in that direction. Andrey Volkov immediately froze when he looked down on me and caught me staring up at him. That second stretched on like an eternity and I didn't know how I felt as I looked at him and those dark eyes. He probably realized that I heard their conversation.God! I was happy to see him. But my heart was hurting at the same time.“Elena,” The spell broke and Andrey rushed to the side of the bed. He curled his hand around mine and the feeling of his warm skin sent tears over the edge. A hard sob wrenched itself from my lips and I felt like a fool crying for him.“Shit! Baby, I'm here. I have got you,” He leaned down and scooped me into his arms, holding me tight and allowing me to release everything without a question. “I have got you baby, you’re now safe,” He whispered again.His warmth felt unnatural almost too hot for human skin—and I could feel the faint tremor of something wild bene

Still jiggling, Elena lowered her hands and let the lizard go. It scampered across the patio and dove into one of the hedges at the base of the stone wall around us."We were you scared of the lizard?" she asked."Of course not," I scoffed, curling my fingers around the knot on my tie to straighten it out. The corner of my mouth was still curled up, hearing the breathy laughter coming from her sweet lips.There was something about that sound, it brushed against the edges of my control. My senses, sharper than they should ever be around a human, picked up the faint rhythm of her heartbeat and the soft rush of her blood. It called to something primal in me."You're home early today. I'm making soup for dinner." She braced her hands on her knees to get up. Without a second thought, I swooped down, wrapped my arms under her arms, and lifted her up.The movement was effortless. Too effortless. I had to remind myself to slow down, to mask the unnatural strength that hummed beneath my skin.

Something told me that Elena was upset because of something I had said but I couldn't figure out what it was. Elena was mine and she did belong to me. What was I missing?!The heat between us outside on the patio was smothered by the sudden cold tension surrounding us. It felt like Elena put up a wall with no intentions of letting it down any time soon. My senses picked up every subtle shift , the faint scent of her worry, the stiffness of her movements, the way the air around her seemed to pulse.I hated it. It drove me wild when all I wanted was to feel her and be with her. When I caught up to her at the stove stirring the pot, I couldn't help myself and looked down at the black brace on her ankle. While Elena was walking on her own and everything else from the fall was healed, I was still afraid of hurting her. The instinct to protect her gnawed at me, low and insistent, like a growl curled around the edges of my mind.It was one thing to be rough with her when we were both caught
