LOGINChapter 176Nina’s POVI closed the voicemail and stood in the lift for three more seconds.Then I pressed the lobby button and watched the doors close and made a decision.Isabella was out there somewhere with information about a flash drive I was carrying and warnings about a military camp I was about to enter. She was also a woman who had tried to throw me off a cliff, staged her own death, and left me a voicemail from an airport like it was a casual Tuesday.I was not going to let her live in my head rent free.I went back to the lawyer’s office, stuck my head through the door, and said one thing.“She was in Ibiza when I was there. I am fine. Just wanted you to know.”He looked at me. “Nina.”“I am going to a military base,” I said. “She is not stupid enough to follow me into a nuclear naval operation. I will be fine.”He did not look fully convinced. He looked like a man running probability calculations behind his eyes.“Be careful,” he said finally. “Take care of yourself out t
Chapter 175Nina’s POVI showed them the acceptance email over breakfast.Amanda screamed. Actual screaming. She grabbed the phone and read it twice and then grabbed me and the phone nearly went into the orange juice.“You got it,” she said. “Nina you actually got it.”“I actually got it.” I was still getting used to saying it. The words felt new in my mouth. Junior Medical Officer. Civilian placement. Six month rotation with option to extend.Stefan looked at the email over Amanda’s shoulder. Something in his expression that was more than just pleased for me. Like pieces of something were fitting together in a way he had not fully expected.“When do you report,” he said.“Three weeks. I need to see my father first. Speak to the lawyer.” I took my phone back and locked it. “I will go tomorrow.”Amanda sat back down. Her face had done the happy thing and then the other thing underneath it that she thought I did not notice. The thing she was still not telling me.“I will stay here,” she
Chapter 174Nina’s POVThe door clicked shut behind me as I stepped out of the bathroom, still tying the belt on my bathrobe. The match in my hand was for the candle I wanted to light on the table. The apartment smelled like the coffee I made earlier and the faint vanilla from the diffuser Amanda loved. I was halfway to the living room when the doorbell rang.I smiled a little. They were back.I opened the door and froze.Amanda and Stefan were standing right there on the doorstep, lips locked, hands all over each other. Stefan had her pressed against the frame, one hand in her hair, the other gripping her waist like he never wanted to let go. Amanda was up on her toes, kissing him back with this soft little sound that made my stomach flip.They didn’t even notice me at first.I cleared my throat.They jumped apart like someone had thrown cold water on them. Stefan coughed hard, stepping back so fast he almost tripped over his own feet. Amanda’s face went bright red. She smoothed down
Chapter 173Stefan’s POVThe second the hotel door clicked shut behind us, I had Amanda pressed against it. My mouth crashed down on hers, hungry and desperate. She kissed me back just as hard, hands already pulling at my shirt, nails scraping down my chest. We stumbled toward the bathroom, shedding clothes as we went. Her sundress hit the floor first. My shorts followed. By the time we reached the massive walk-in shower, we were both naked, skin hot and still covered in salt and sand from the beach.I turned the water on hot. Steam filled the glass enclosure fast. Amanda stepped under the spray first, head tilting back as the water cascaded over her body. Rivers ran down her breasts, over her stomach, between her thighs. She looked like a fucking goddess — wet hair plastered to her skin, nipples hard from the heat and my stare.I stepped in behind her and pulled her back against my chest. My hard cock nestled between her ass cheeks. She moaned softly and ground back against me. I rea
Chapter 172Stefan’s POVAmanda was still curled up against me, her naked body warm and soft, breathing slow and even. The sun was coming through the curtains now, lighting up her face like she was made of gold. I could feel every inch of her pressed to me — her breasts against my chest, her thigh thrown over mine, the faint stickiness between us from everything we did last night.She stirred a little, eyes fluttering open. She looked up at me with that sleepy, satisfied smile that made my chest do stupid things.“Uhh,” she mumbled, voice still husky from sleep and all the moaning she did. “If only I could have one more day with you.”I stared at her. Those words hit me right in the gut. One more day. Fuck, I wanted that too. More than I should.I brushed her hair back from her face and kissed her forehead. “Oh mannnn. Anything for my girl.”She blinked, surprised. “Wait, really?”I was already reaching for my phone on the nightstand. My fingers moved fast, pulling up the private jet
Chapter 171Stefan’s POVShe looked so fucking beautiful lying there under me, flushed and glowing, pussy still fluttering around my spent cock. I kissed her slow and deep, tasting the sweetness of her mouth mixed with the raw edge of everything we’d just done. My hand stroked down her side, over the curve of her hip, possessive and gentle at the same time.Amanda pulled back just enough to look at me, eyes heavy with lust and a little shyness. “I want more,” she whispered. “I want you to keep making me feel like that.”I groaned. My cock was already twitching back to life inside her. “You’re gonna kill me, angel.”I pulled out slowly, both of us moaning at the loss. Then I flipped her onto her stomach and pulled her hips up so she was on her knees, ass in the air. The view was obscene — her pretty pink pussy dripping with my cum, swollen and glistening. I spread her cheeks and dragged my tongue from her clit all the way up, tasting us mixed together.Amanda cried out, pushing back ag
Chapter 43 Nina’s POV My heart jolted like a live wire when the bang echoed through the door. The wood rattled in its frame, and I froze mid-step, fingers still hovering over the emerald gown I had tossed aside. “Don’t you dare waste our time,” a voice growled from the hallway. Dante. His
Chapter 38 Nina’s POV The iron poker whistled through the air again, striking Marco’s shoulder with a wet crack. Blood sprayed in a fine red mist, splattering the concrete floor and the hem of my oversized uniform pants. Marco howled, curling inward, but the chef raised the weapon once more, fa
Chapter 39Nina’s POV The lobby lights buzzed overhead like angry insects, casting harsh yellow pools across the faded carpet. My helmet dangled from my fingers, the scratched visor still fogged from my panicked breathing. The receptionist stood behind the counter, one manicured hand resting pos
Chapter 33 Nina’s POV The terrace door clicked shut behind me with the softest finality. I did not look back. My bare feet slapped against the cool marble as I hurried down the narrow service stairs Valentino had pointed out earlier, the diamond waist chain clutched so tightly in my fist that t
