Gunshot

Talia POVMy fingers brushed against cold metal and for a second I froze, then I found it still taped exactly where I'd hidden it five years ago.The pistol felt heavy despite its size as I carefully peeled it away from the underside of the cabinet.The moment it entered into my palm, a wave of memories crashed into me. I'd bought it two nights after running. I hated the thing and what it represented and the memories attached to it.During my pregnancy with Ethan, I had forced myself to learn how to use it not because I wanted to, but because I had been terrified every waking moment but after Ethan was born, I'd hidden the gun away because I never wanted him near it yet here I was, holding it again because I know exactly what it was capable of.My stomach churned because one pull of a trigger could change everything but what choice did I have?Alexei wasn't going to let me leave and Ethan was waiting for me.Slowly, I straightened and checked the gun,it was loaded with six bullets.I

Did he?

Talia POV I flip over onto my belly, and I clamber toward the bed, trying to drag my legs out from under him, but he grips the waistband of my jeans and hauls me backward.Standing, he lifts me with him. He’s still cursing, still not quite upright after my assault on his balls.He tosses me on the bed again, laying all his weight over me so I’m trapped. He pushes the hair away from my face, and his breath is warm on my cheek.“Didn’t I fucking tell you not to do anything stupid?” His hand slides between us, and he’s fumbling with something. “And that was about as stupid as it gets.”He straightens, and I start to, too, but he shoves me back down, jamming his knee into my lower back.I can’t move more than a few inches, and I crane my neck to look back at him, and I see what he’s fumbling with what he’s opening.“Alexei, no,” I plead as he unbuckles his belt and I claw at the bed, trying to drag myself away, but it’s hopeless.“Talia, yes,” he says, mimicking me as his hands slide bet

Viktor New Emotion

Aria POVI lay quietly in Viktor's embrace, my head resting against his chest as I listened to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.The room was wrapped in peaceful silence, broken only by our uneven breathing and my mind was still struggling to catch up with everything that had happened.He loved me not because he believed he should but he chose to.The confession settled deep inside my heart, melting years of fear and uncertainty.I had spent so long convincing myself that loving Viktor would always be a lonely journey, that no matter how close we became, there would always be a wall separating us but now that wall had finally crumbled.Viktor lifted my hand to his lips, pressing a gentle kiss against the inside of my wrist before his fingers lingered over my pulse.His gray eyes studied me with quiet concentration and that familiar analytical look softened by genuine concern."Your heartbeat is racing again," he murmured."Are you all right?"A laugh escaped me before I could stop i

Aria POV "Go up to our bedroom,” Viktor said, startling me as I lay curled up on the sofa in the game room a week after our conversation.“What’s the matter?” I asked because his expression was tight, as close to anger as I’d ever seen it. I set down my book and stood, putting my hands up against his chest. “Is it about Alexei?”Alexei had been gone for almost a month and Viktor still hadn’t revealed the details of their mission, only that it had something to do with the a girl.His eyes held a hint of weariness. “I’ll explain later. Now I need you to go to our room, Aria.”I frowned, feeling like I was being treated like a child. “I’m not weak and I can handle most things.”He touched my cheek and kissed me briefly. “I know but this ...” He shook his head. “I’m not sure if it’s something you should see.”My chest constricted because there was only one thing I definitely had a hard time handling.“Don’t ask,” Viktor said. “Not now.”I nodded reluctantly, grabbed my book and headed i

Viktor My Love

Aria POV Viktor was gone for a long time and my resolve to stay in the bedroom was slipping away with every passing second when he finally stepped back in, a deep furrow of displeasure between his brows and much of his hair fallen out of his short ponytail as if he’d ran his hand through it one time too often.I asked immediately, “What’s going on? What did Ivan say? And what does he need the nightgown for?”Viktor closed the door. “Alexei wants to keep her here for now, he thinks she’s safer in the mansion.”“Safer? She’s a captive. Who says she’s safe so close to this family?”Viktor didn’t say anything but I could tell that he wasn’t happy about this development, but he was loyal to his brother, nothing would ever change it. I doubted Alexei could do anything that would make Viktor ever go against him.“You have to stop him, if he makes anyone to force themselves on her. Promise me,” I said fiercely.“Alexei can’t be stopped if he’s made up his mind, not even by me but as I said,
