“Sorry, so sorry.”

“Hmm, somehow, I don’t think you mean that.” He brushed the hair back off her face. “Are you happy,Mo Chridhe?”

“I don’t think I’ve ever been happier. This is the best night I’ve ever had.”

“Me too, baby. Me too.”

Colm’s hand moved up her leg.

Tonight, Sofia had deliberately worn a skirt.

And no underwear.

They were having a movie night. The film was playing on the screen, but she didn’t know what was going on; she couldn’t even hear the words being spoken. Her breathing grew faster.

Lord.

These last six weeks had felt like the biggest tease. Colm had visited her nearly every day. And if he couldn’t come see her, then he always called her. Sometimes they could talk for hours about everything and nothing.

It had taken Sofia a while to figure out that he wanted her to speak her mind. That he had no problem with her saying how she felt.

Sacha had been working on helping her as well. Partly by opening himself up more.

After she’d pushed past her panic at leaving the estate, Colm had taken her out for dinner, the movies, ice skating, and even dancing. The man had some killer moves—as long as it didn’t involve twerking.

What he hadn’t done was fuck her.

Hell, he hadn’t done more than kiss her and feel her up. Tonight, she was determined to change that.

Aleksandr was out. It was just the two of them, along with probably half a dozen of Sacha’s men. But they were outside.

They were in the cinema room. There were no windows. No one else was close by, and Sofia was determined that she wasn’t going to get herself off with one of her toys tonight.

Toys that she hadn’t owned until she and Colm had started this whole dating thing.

Which was why she wasn’t wearing panties.

His hand stilled as he found out her secret.

“What do we have here?” he murmured. His movements were hidden under the blanket they had over them.

She couldn’t believe all the changes in her life. Some things had been devastating, like Arseni’s betrayal.

And being kidnapped twice, which had given her a whole set of new nightmares.

But at least she’d been able to tell Rogan who killed Callahan’s father and Miller how her mom had helped her that night.

Although she had a feeling that might have been what led to her death. If Iker had found out that Miller’s mom had seen her father kill Callahan’s father . . . yeah, that was why she’d been murdered.

And, with the help of a therapist, Sofia could start to put that nightmare to rest. The therapist was likely supposed to report some of the things she’d told her to the authorities, but Sacha must have been paying her to keep quiet.

Callahan’s death had caused some issues with the Fuerte cartel. Apparently, Callahan had a cousin who was important to the cartel in some way. The cartel hadn’t been happy that Callahan was killed. But Rogan and Sacha had handled it,soothing things over. Sacha was still determined to find out who Rafe had been working for. But he’d told her not to concern herself.

She was still worried, though.

However, she was trying not to take everything on herself.
