He did lean in closer, though. He couldn’t help himself with her scent tickling his nose. It was too much of a temptation.

She watched him in the mirror, her eyes wide and dilated.

“Don’t look at me like that,” he growled, his hands fanning out over the back of her neck. Her breath hitched, and he swore, but it would take a chainsaw to remove his hand from her skin right now.

“Like what?” she asked, her voice husky.

“Like you want me to fuck you,moye sokrovishche.” His thumbs swept back and forth over the area right below her ears. She let out a moan when he did that, and it pushed him to lean closer, his lips right by her ear. “Stop it.”

Sara leaned back into him, and when she settled against his chest, Viktor nearly lost his shit. She was everything he’d ever wanted, and he didn’t want to fuck this up, but it was hard not to kiss her. So damn fucking hard.

His phone saved him from doing exactly what his dick wanted him to do.

Dimitri.

He didn’t know if he wanted to curse his brother or thank him. Probably both.

“What?”

“Uh, hello to you too,brat.”

Viktor shoved a hand through his hair. “Sorry, been a long fucking day.”

“Sara okay? Her ex didn’t…”

“Her ex pulled some shit, but I don’t want to get into it over the phone. What do you want, D?”

“Umm, you did remember dinner, yeah? Becca and I are starving. Have you checked your email?”

“No, why?”

“We got pictures of our kid. Kade sent them while you were in the air, I’m guessing.”

“Really?” He couldn’t wait to get a look at his nephew.

“Viktor?”

“Yeah,brat?”

“You think Sara’s case is going to take much longer?”

“Don’t know. Why?”

“Kade needs us all home. Mateo needs us home.”

“What’s wrong?” Panic flared.

“You’ll understand when you see our nephew. They did a number on him, Vik.” The quiet way Dimitri spoke said more than any kind of rage could have. His brother didn’t get pissed often, but when he did, that quiet tone made you run for your life.

“Shit.”

“Enough of this for right now. I’m starving. Becca and I are heading over to Magnolia’s now. You and Sara get your asses over there.”

“Ready to go eat?” He slid his phone into his back pocket and turned his attention back to Sara.

“I think that’s probably the safest option.”

He couldn’t disagree.
