I rose to my tiptoes and brushed my lips against his. “I’m going to take care of you tonight, Husband. No more platonic shit.”

A rough chuckle rumbled in his chest. “You really know how to rattle my good intentions.”

I grinned. “I want your bad intentions tonight, Mr. Konstantin. Give it all to me.”

“God, woman.” His voice was coarse. “It’s too soon. We have to make sure you’re healed completely.”

I scoffed.Too soon!He must have lost his mind. Three weeks without his dick in my pussy. I needed it. Stat. Tonight!

“Tatiana, I see trouble on your face,” he groaned.

I rolled my eyes. “If you don’t give me your cock, you can watch me get off,” I retorted dryly. “I’ll make sure you get the full view of what you could have.”

He let out a sardonic breath. “Are you only using me for my dick?”

I shrugged, my eyes crinkling. “What else?” Playing it cool with Illias was too hard. I wanted him too much.

“For my wealth. My good looks. My heart.”

I waved my hand nonchalantly. “I got all that. Ineedyour dick.”

There was no stopping my lips from curving into a smile.

He shook his head, though it didn’t escape me the way his eyes shone with humor.

“What am I going to do with you?” he sighed exaggeratedly.

“Fuck me?” I murmured suggestively.

Just as he was about to answer, and probably cave in, his phone vibrated in his pocket. He retrieved it, and when he saw Sasha’s name flash on the screen, he frowned.

“What is it?”

He rejected the call, shaking his head. “Your brother being a pain.”

It started vibrating again and Illias body instantly went into alert mode. “Yes?”

I could hear gunshots echoing through his headset. Tension filled the room and the temperature turned icy. My eyes widened as I leaned closer to my husband, trying to hear what was going on.

“The Volkov bitch is here…” That was all I heard.

“Which exit?” Illias barked. Another second and he hung up, then slid the phone into his pocket. He retrieved two earpieces, strapped one to his ear, then called out. “Vasili!”

My brother was in the room in the next breath. He must have gotten an update too. Illias handed him the second earpiece and while my brother put it on, my husband grabbed his gun, then scooped me up.

“You can’t run,” he explained. “It’ll be faster this way.”

I nodded, my heart thundering wildly. “What exits are safe?” Vasili asked.

“A and D,” Illias answered. “Which one do you want?”

Vasili thought for a moment, then retrieved his phone, typing quickly on his phone. “You take exit A. Exits C and D are connected. I’ll take that one.”

“Maybe we should all take exit A?” I offered.

Both of them shook their heads. “No, I’ll draw them out.” My big brother bent his head and pressed a kiss on my cheek. “I’ll meet you back at Konstantin’s place.”

I swallowed. “Promise?”
