“Maybe. But when she calms down, she’ll be able to take it in.” He came to my side and leaned against the truck beside me. “You know what I think?”“I don’t usually care about the opinions of other men.” I only cared about my opinion—because it was always right.“You’re going to listen to it anyway. I think you aren’t helping Cassini because it’s the right thing to do. I think you’re bending over backward for my sister because she means something to you.” He turned his gaze and stared at my side profile. “She told me you want to go your separate ways when this is over. I just want to make sure that’s the case. I appreciate what you’re doing for her, and I actually respect you…but there’s no way in hell I want you to be with her. She deserves a nice guy, a nice house, and a nice life. She deserves something better than men like us. Do we understand each other?”I turned to him, my face hard in a scowl. Cassini and I had no future, and I’d made that clear to her days ago. I never lied,

I sat up in bed, just as disappointed by his departure as I was any other time he left. It wasn’t only about feeling safe. It was about the comfort of having him beside me. I’d become used to the sound of his deep breathing while he slept, the occasional snore that annoyed me at the time but also reminded me he was there. In the midst of winter, he kept the sheets so warm, acting as my personal heater. And he was built like a brick house, so he was my own bear. “Please don’t go…” I was a proud woman who didn’t like to admit weakness. But for whatever reason, I wore my heart on my sleeve for this man. My emotions were as plain as written text. And I didn’t care if he thought I was being clingy. Maybe I was clingy. It made no difference to me.He approached the edge of the bed and stared at me with those brilliant blue eyes. He wore a cold expression, annoyed just like he was every time I asked him to stay. He held my gaze for a long time, letting the silence rise like smoke to the ceil

6Balto“Any ideas?” Heath sat with me at the bar, his fingers wrapped around his scotch.“No.”“I figured killing Lucian would be the only thing you cared about.”I thought about getting my revenge all the time. I was prepared to end the feud permanently—and hoped I’d find the diamond afterward. Once he was dead, I would claim all of his possessions and burn down his house. “It’ll happen when it’s meant to happen.”“Yeah?” He drank from his glass and watched Denise wait on a table. “Or you’re dragging your feet because you aren’t ready to let Cassini go?”I stared at my brother, my hand resting against my glass. He wore a slight grin, like he’d said the perfect thing to get to me. Truth be told, he did burrow under my skin.“You can keep seeing her after Lucian is dead, you know.”“No, I can’t.” When Lucian was dead and she didn’t need my protection anymore, it was officially over. If she stayed with me, our arrangement would turn into a relationship. I wasn’t the kind of man that co

“Lunchtime.” He didn’t touch me or try to give me a hug. He kept his distance, honoring his brother’s request.“Well, I was gonna make a sandwich. You want one?”“Definitely. I don’t have any food at my place.”“So you’re here for free food?” I asked with a laugh.“Yes, and I have no shame.”I made two turkey sandwiches and opened a bag of chips. We sat at the kitchen table and shared the large bag in the middle of the table.He took enormous bites of his sandwich, reminding me of a shark that took large chunks out of its prey. He ate faster than Balto and with less restraint. His bites were always so big that it took him forever to chew.“So, who’s the skank who left that lipstick mark on his neck?”Heath was about to take a bite of his sandwich, but he lowered his food instead. “I’m sure he already told you the story.”“Is she pretty?”“She’s a high-class prostitute, so obviously. But not prettier than you.”I smiled. “Good answer.”“Balto doesn’t think there’s any woman prettier th

“No.” I locked my legs around his waist so he couldn’t pull away. “You’ve been gone every night for the entire week. Stay.” I slept in this enormous bed alone, his smell the only comfort I had. It didn’t matter how many times I begged; he never changed his mind. But I begged anyway…because saying goodbye was too hard. If I couldn’t let him go to work, I didn’t know how I would manage to let him go forever.He stayed buried inside me, his cock semi-soft because he’d just come inside me. “Baby, as much as I love watching you beg like this, you know I can’t stay.” He held his massive body on top of mine with just his arms, his biceps and triceps working together to lift a slab of bricks. “I’m an honorable man. Honorable men don’t abandon their post.”“But you’ve been gone every single night—”“That’s how it is sometimes.” He kissed the corner of my mouth as his cock slowly thickened once more. “Your pussy is a fucking magnet for my dick, but it can’t keep me here forever.” When his cock
