His Holiday Prohibition
A man walked in, he was older, in his Forties, in an expensive suit, with gray hair slicked back and cold blue eyes.
Alexei Volkov.
I knew it before he said a word, the way he moved, the way Liam immediately went quiet.

"Mr. Volkov," Liam said. "I was just..."
"Leaving," Volkov finished. "But first, introductions." He walked toward me, slowly and intentionally. "Maya Vance. I have heard so much about you."
I stepped back, and my back hit the wall. He kept coming.
"Don't be frightened," he said softly. "I am not going to hurt you."
