“Can I ask you something?” She closed the box, then walked around the table full of pictures as she glanced over them. She didn’t wait for me to respond. “The docks… there’s more to it than just increased police surveillance, isn’t there?”

I was surprised by her observation, but kept my expression controlled. “Clever girl,” I murmured, which made her smile. “Yes, there’s more, but nothing you need to be concerned with.”

“But Kreos…”

I stood, grabbed her hand and kissed her knuckles. There was this constant need inside of me to always be touching her. The more I tried to ignore it, the more persistent it became. “Sometimes my rivals try to complicate operations. It’s normal. Someone may have passed information to the police to disrupt our trade route. Normally it wouldn’t be an issue, but there’s a new hotshot detective in the unit, and he’s out to prove himself.”

I could see the wheels spinning in her eyes, worry etched across her beautiful face. “Someone… in your organization? Like a mole?”

She was too observant. This would only cause her to worry and be scared, none of which made me happy. Not when we were finally making progress. I wouldn’t lie to her, though. She was smart and would see through it. And I wanted her to trust me.

I nodded. “Possibly. Someone with inside knowledge may be working with an old rival against me. But it’s under control,kotic. Sometimes this happens and people want to test my power. And I and my entire army just have to remind them that’s a poor decision.”

She opened her mouth, then closed it. A moment later, she pulled out her phone and slid it over to me. My jaw clenched tight, a storm of emotions raging inside of me.

Stay away from Kreos Zokrov or you’re dead.

“The night of the party, I got that text. I should have told you right away. But I thought maybe it was a joke. Now I’m not so sure.”

The thought that someone had dared send this to her had my blood boiling with rage, but I kept my face neutral so as not to scare her. I’d find whoever sent this and skin them alive for making her worry. Did they really think this would work? Because now that I had her, heaven and hell combined couldn’t tear her away from me. “I’ll handle it. You don’t need to think twice about it. It’s not a genuine threat.”

“It seems like a pretty real threat, Kre—”

I dragged her into my arms. “This is why I have so many security measures in place,kotic. Why I’m so careful with everything. You don’t need to worry about any of this—a random text, my rivals. My men and I are handling it. And as far as this goes”—I nodded at her phone on the table—“Gavriil will track down whoever sent it, and they will pay the price.”

I threaded my fingers through her hair, tugging her head back. “Trust me. I always protect what’s mine.” My lips brushed across hers, and she placed her handsagainst my chest. “And you are the most precious thing I possess. I’ll never let anything happen to you. I would die first.”

Her eyes searched my face, and she seemed to find whatever answer she was looking for a moment later. She reached up on her tiptoes, pressing her lips to mine. Soft at first, then more eager. Demanding. Her tongue caressed mine in a dangerous dance, the taste of chocolate and sin mixed together.

I lifted her up effortlessly, her legs wrapping around my waist. My fingers dug into her flesh as I walked her backwards, slamming her against the wall. It was like she had awoken the beast inside me, the one that craved her and would burn down the entire world to have her. She moaned into my mouth, the sound making my cock harden.

“Look at you,kotic. So eager for me.”

“Kreos,” she gasped when I trailed kisses across her jaw, then down her neck. I bit down, then sucked, needing to mark her as mine. The whole world needed to know she belonged to me and only me. And if anyone ever tried to take her away from me, I would destroy them. I pulled back to look at her skin, now wet and red.

Mine.

She weaved her fingers through my hair, pulling my head back roughly. “I need you,” she whimpered, the sound going straight to my cock.

I spun her from the wall, and laid her down on her back on the conference table. Photos, blueprints, and her pastry box went flying, but I didn’t give a fuck. The Devil himself could show up at that moment to collect my soul, and that still wouldn’t stop me from tasting her.

The need to consume her was taking over. She was driving me to the point of madness. Her dress slid up past her hips, and I grabbed onto her panties, tearing them off. Her thighs quivered as I wrapped my arms around them and dragged her to the edge of the table.

“Your beautiful cunt is soaked for me,kotic.” My lips trailed up her thighs, sucking and biting as I made my way up to her core. “From now on, you do not wear any panties when you walk into this office. I want full access to what’s mine. And this glistening cunt is mine, isn’t it?”

“Yes,” she gasped, her hips bucking off the table.

My hand came down, slapping her pussy softly. “Yes, what?”

She cried out when I slapped her again. Not enough to hurt her, just enough to give her the pleasure she was craving.

“Yes, sir,” she cried.

“Such a good fucking girl,” I murmured, biting down on the meaty flesh of her thigh. She wouldn’t be leaving this room until she was covered in marks from me.

I spread her cunt open, moaning at how beautifully wet she was. So pink and fucking perfect. My tongue lashed out, licking up her slit. God, she tasted fucking amazing. One taste of her would never be enough. Her back arched off the table, a cry of pleasure escaping her lips. I took my time tasting every inch of her, soaking up her cries and moans.

My mouth latched on to her clit and sucked as I slid a finger knuckle deep into her pussy. She was so fucking tight, clamping down on me. I couldn’t wait to fill her up with my cock. To breed her. I growled deep inmy throat at the thought, adding another finger inside of her.
