An angel with her hands and mouth on the devil’s horn. The irony didn’t escape him.

It felt so fucking amazing, and his breathing grew fast and shallow. He couldn’t look away. Watching her wrap those pretty lips around his thickness was a kind of heaven he’d never known.Krasavitsa.So fucking beautiful, and he wasn’t sure how long he could endure such exquisite torture.

“Fuuuck…” The curse tore from his mouth and he gritted his teeth, fighting the urge to blow his wad down her throat.

She ran her tongue all over him, accidentally grazing him with her teeth as she got the hang of it. Looking up at him for encouragement, he forced a nod. “That’s it. Good girl. Just like that.” Christ, he could barely get the words out.

Pulling him deeper, sucking harder, she worked him with her hands and mouth, and she was doing a damn good job because he could feel his control slipping fast. He slid his inkedfingers through her hair but resisted the urge to take control. She couldn’t take him all, he was too big, but he allowed her to try, enjoying the few times she gagged.

His orgasm was imminent, and he rocked his hips upward, needing release, but not wanting to end the sweet pleasure quite yet.

???

Mia did her best, determined to succeed in making Nik fracture. Surprisingly, it was turning out to be easier than she’d thought. She flicked her eyes up and realized he was watching her every move intently. And those eyes of his…

Her stomach flipped at the dark, smoldering look, and she relished her power over the big, strong Alpha male. So many muscles and all that ink, and he was at her mercy. It was a heady feeling, and she squeezed his cock, eliciting a groan.

One of his hands twisted through her hair, while the other was on the back of the couch, his fingers white-knuckling the cushion as his inked chest rose and fell with harsh breaths. Her heart thumped in her ears as she swirled her tongue around his tip then sucked him deep. A couple of times she accidentally grazed him with her teeth, but he hadn’t seemed to mind. In fact, she had the impression he liked it.

His lack of direction gave her a boost of confidence and she pulled him deeper. There wasn’t a whole lot she considered herself very good at, but maybe sucking cock was a gift. As if in answer, he tightened his hold on her blonde strands, pulling until she whimpered, then erupted down her throat with a ragged growl.

After swallowing the thick ropes of his release, she sat back and swiped a hand across her mouth. “Was that okay?” she asked, laying her palms on his thighs, looking up at him through fringed lashes.

He pulled his bottoms back up then reached for her, dragging her up onto his lap. “It was heaven,” he assured her, pressing his lips to hers. They shared a long, sensual kiss, and then Mia pulled back, searching his charcoal eyes.

“What happens after it stops snowing?” she asked softly. She’d been dreading the question, but now she needed to know. Everything between them had changed and she had no idea where that left them. Was she still just a pawn in his game, waiting to be used and discarded? The idea hurt, but she had to prepare herself for it. Nik was a self-proclaimed bastard and she’d be a fool to harbor any expectations.

Nik Valentine isn’t a man who can give you a happy ending, Mia,she told herself. Even so, she found herself wishing…that just maybe…if the stars aligned…

“My team and I worked for an organization known only as The Agency,” he said, lips near her ear, and she perked up. This was the first time he was sharing anything about the situation regarding his team and how she fit into that puzzle. “Black ops stuff. We were on a mission when they decided we no longer served them. They managed to kill one of our men, a guy much better than me, and they’ve been after us ever since.”

“Oh, my God.” She pulled back so she could study his face. “I’m so sorry.”

For a long moment, he didn’t say anything, and she had the feeling he was trying to determine her sincerity. Then, in a low voice, he asked, “What do you know about them, Mia?”

She frowned. “Nothing. Why would I?”

“Because your father is a part of The Agency,” he said.

A shaky breath escaped from between her lips, yet deep down she’d already known from the moment Nik had abducted her from the parking lot that her father had something to do with it. “I’ve never heard of them until now. Who are they exactly?”

“A group of power-hungry people with a kill list. And my team is at the top of that list.”

Her mouth opened slightly as the significance of his words hit home. “Why did they turn on you?” she managed to ask.

“Long story. Suffice it to say, we aren’t stopping until we take every one of them down.”

“Including my father.” It wasn’t a question.

He inclined his head. Somehow, she wasn’t surprised. At the same time, hewastalking about her dad. Yes, he’d never treated her like he loved her, but could she really stand back and let Nik and his team destroy her only blood relative in the world?

Shit.Some misplaced, long-lost loyalty sprang up out of nowhere, and her attention flickered over to the window covered in snow. Inside, her heart warred with her head.

“Mia? Hey.” He turned her face back to his. “Let’s not talk about this anymore.”

She swallowed hard, wondering what she would do if the time came and she had to choose sides.

A father she barely knew? Or a lover who wouldn’t last?
