Something inside us both just snapped, and that night, we made our move.
We didn’t even care.
I still remember how frightened she looked when we took her.
The shock. The fear. The confusion.
Finally being able to be so close to her…finally being able to kneel for her…finally being able to take her…
My cock ached, and my mouth watered.
Chiara had no idea who we were.
Chiara had no idea how long we had been waiting for her.
It didn’t matter though.
All that matters is that she’soursnow.
And even though she may not know it yet, she soon will. She’ll come to understand who we are, and what we can offer her. When that finally happens, she’ll have no choice but to accept it.
Chiara will be ours.
The Bratva never loses, and neither do we.
But it’s not going to be easy.
Chiara has already begun to question everything. She has already seen more than we thought she would, and she is smarter than what she presents herself to be. I can already see her struggling, trying to pull away so she can distance herself from what is unfolding between us—between myself, her, and my brother too.
She’s afraid, and it’s only normal that she is.
Chiara doesn’t understand why we’ve done this.
Why we’ve taken her, why we’ll be keeping her, and why we’re treating her like this.
But with time, she will understand. She has to.
And as soon as she does,everythingwill fall into place.
My brother is just as obsessed with Chiara as I am. We didn’t think we would move so quickly, but what’s done is done. And although we’ve never been in a situation like this before, I know we’ll manage.
Chiara is ours now, and we’ll do everything it takes to make her see that.
Even if it means breaking everything we’ve ever known.
I turn to face Mikhail.
My chest is tight, and my jaw is clenched so hard it aches.
“Bratva.” I spit out in a way I never once have before. “How the fuck does she know?!”
My mind goes into overdrive, my blood hot in my veins.
How the fuck does Chiara know about us; know about the Russians, and the Italians too?
As far as we’re aware, she’s only another London girl.
She’s lived in the city since birth, and has attended all her schools, and even her university, in the same city.
