LOGINThis book is officially over. I can't believe I finished it. There were times I wanted to give up. Times I did at some point, but for some reason, I always found the energy to push through. I want to thank everyone who gave this book a chance. Without you, this book wouldn't be as successful as it
“Nikolai, I- ouch” She takes a step towards me and then stops, her face twisting into a grimace. I'm at her side in an instant, my hands around her shoulder, steadying her, “What's wrong?” I ask, my gaze scanning her carefully. My eyes land on the thin ragged line on her knee. The edges are raw, a
To be honest I wouldn't blame her if she did. She’d just seen me torture information out of a man. A man who deserves every bit of pain I dished out to him and more but still. Ava wasn’t used to this. She wasn’t used to seeing other people suffer. I was. I thought I could shield her from the darknes
Nikolai There's a solid second that follows after I see her, where the two of us just stare at each other, neither one of us willing to break contact first. Fuck. She wasn't supposed to be here. How the hell did she even find this place? "Ava, wait," Her eyes widened, a flicker of panic cross

Since Ava didn't want to go to a doctor, my mother's treatment would have to do. When I return to the bedroom, I go to her side by the bed and crouch drown beside her, brushing my fingers over her cheek. “Ava, sweetheart,” I murmur. She lets out a soft groan, but her lashes barely flutter. I help
Why was no one helping him? Surely they were guards stationed outside his door; surely one of them could come to his aid... unless... "Was it the guards? Did they hurt you?" While Ava was asleep she'd heard shuffling on the other side of the wall, followed by a few bad words she had once promised
I shut the door behind me, and turn to face her. The bathroom is small and sterile, the overhead fluorescent light casting a harsh glow over Kat’s pale face. Her eyes are rimmed with tears, her cheeks blotchy and I can't help but wonder how long she's been in here, crying. She leans against the si
"Just like that, Malyshka," he grits out. "Keep going." I do as he says, stroking him from base to tip, using the wetness at his slit to stroke his shaft. His abdomen grows tight and he lets out a low curse under his breath before he reaches down and tugs his sweatpants from his hips. His cock sp
