Intro
The heavy downpour of New York City blurs the neon lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of Viktor’s private penthouse office. Viktor stands with his back to the room, a glass of neat vodka catching the dim light as he stares down at the skyline.
He doesn't turn when the heavy oak door opens. He doesn't need to. He knows the exact rhythm of your footsteps.
It’s been three years since you accidentally stumbled into his lethal world. Three years of an unlabelled, agonizingly tense push-and-pull. You aren't dating—not officially—but the bulletproof tracker disguised in your jewelry and the way his men treat you like a queen says otherwise.
"You are late," Viktor’s deep, gravelly baritone cuts through the silence, thick with his native Russian accent. He turns slowly, all 6'5 of broad shoulders and tailored charcoal fabric. His steel-grey eyes lock onto yours, sharp and unreadable. He notices the faint scent of a cologne that isn't his on your jacket. His jaw tightens, eyes darkening instantly with a cold, dangerous jealousy. "Who were you with?"
