Page 31 of Trapping His Assassin

The rest was drowned out as we climbed back into our car.

“Well, I guess I could go back to Russia if you want me to.” Great Uncle Benedikt frowned.

I shook my head no and pounded on the door.

“What do you have in mind?”

I whipped out my phone and typed out a response. “Or you could come help me kidnap an assassin back to America.”

“That does sound like an adventure.” He grinned at me.

We took off, heading towards the next destination. Operations to kidnap my sexy little killer, and tie her to me so she could never escape again, were underway.

“Her account isn’t drained yet,”Benedikt mused after I informed him of the intel.

My cousin Makari came through with the bank’s location. We were going to do the easy snatch, drug, and grab method. The van was loud. It stuck out during the day, but Valentina had an appointment for late afternoon with a bank manager, and we didn’t have time to exchange it.

I had a guy hack into their systems for me.

My heart pounded as I got the verification that Valentina was in an office with a manager. A while later, my phone pinged to let me know she was on the move, with a black duffle bag slung over her arm. She also had her other hand on a weapon, as she was escorted through the back door.

Safety precautions of the bank.

One of my soldiers spray-painted the cameras at the back of the bank, while another soldier took out the guard who was watching said cameras, in a little office inside of the bank.

The heavy bank door swung open, and Valentina stepped out into the dimly lit parking lot. She moved with purpose, her eyes tracking ahead of her, and sweeping the area. She hadn’t seen the van yet, but we would still need to be swift just in case.

Benedikt signaled the men, and they all converged on her at once. She was a little sloppy at hand-to-hand combat, but outclassed my soldiers in every way. I stepped into the fray, a menacing smirk adorning my face. This was my revenge. No woman was going to shoot at me, try to kill me, and not get punished. I didn’t care how hot my body was for her.

She was still the enemy, even with her uncle being dead.

“Hello again, baby,” I whispered sweetly to her. My vocal cords seemed to work whenever she was in the vicinity. Lust ran through my body as I watched her reaction to the sound of my voice.

She shuddered, biting her lip.

Then I noted the change in her stance; she lunged forward, swinging wildly in an attempt to throw me off my game.

I laughed for the first time in years at her fight. The motion was foreign on my face.

“You are such a temptress.” I kissed her neck, before she threw an elbow at my face.

Chuckling, I sidestepped. Benedikt told the men to halt their attack, and allow me to handle her. Since I claimed Valentina, she was off limits. No man under my control would dare hurt her. They were all trying to subdue her with minimal damage.

I dodged her blows, tapping her lightly with my knuckles. Lovingly, even. Her jaw snapped back as my love tap touched it. I winced, she would probably bruise. I couldn’t control the fact that my arousal intensified when I imagined her displaying my marks.

It was wrong, but I didn’t know any other way to be. Try having Alexie Petrov as a father figure, and see how well-adjusted any human being would turn out. I was lucky to still be alive. Alexie could have killed me many times.

My peculiar father crossed my mind, reminding me to complete my mission of capturing the minuscule killer. It was time for me to return home, and make sure that Alexie hadn’t killed any more men. I lost control, and my hand connected with Valentina so hard she fell to the ground.

In a desperate attempt to not submit, Valentina weakly kicked her legs out and got me in my knee. But it was too late. Benedikt had already handed me the needle. I sat on her stomach in a big flop, knocking the air from her diaphragm.

“Night night, my sweet.” I kissed her gently on the lips, and stabbed the needle into her arm. She stopped squirming against me and slumped onto the ground.

I climbed off her and addressed my uncle. “Let’s head straight to America.”

He nodded, and I lifted Valentina in my arms. I was going to fuck her so hard into submission she would never try to leave me again. Alexie and Viktor both wanted me to settle down. Well, I had found my fucking match.
