Chapter Thirteen
Maksim
I never said I was a good guy. In fact, I refer to myself as a monster all of the time. I never gave anyone the impression I did things out of the kindness of my heart, either.
In fact, what I’m about to do is the biggest asshole move I have ever done in my life but I need to know. I need to have the upper hand or we’re fucked.
Varya’s room is bathed in the delicious yet sensual smell of body wash and shampoo. When she comes out of the shower, I see the planes of her lithe body from the bed. I have to adjust myself in my pants. She is gorgeous.
“I want to know what happened between you and Sergei.”
“Can I get dressed first?” Varya snarks at me.
I smile and fight the urge to tell herno. “Sure.” I don’t move from where I’m seated. Varya’s eyes narrow on my face when she realizes I’m not moving from where I’m seated. I’m not letting her out of my sight.
She huffs while walking over to the clothes I had Lana pick up for Varya. I chuckle to myself at her frustration of having to get dressed in front of me. It is my own heartbeat that rises when she walks past me and drops her towel.
Her body is dewy from the shower but it is so sexy.
“What are you doing?” I breathe out with my teeth clenched.
“Getting dressed,” she tosses over her shoulder as if this is completely normal.
Fuck!
She shimmies up her shorts on her shapely legs without putting underwear on. My dick is at full attention. Her pussy is covered by the silky material of the shorts. Varya leans over to grab a tank top at the waist making her tits hang down a little. I see her nipples pebbled slightly.
Once she is dressed, she looks at me with satisfaction. She did this on purpose to get a rise out of me! Literally! My dick is throbbing in my pants.
“Where were we?”
Fuck! The spell is broken again when she reminds me of Sergei. The reason why I’m here. The reason why we are all here right now is to bring Sergei down.
“What is going on with Sergei?” I ask again.
She smirks a little as my eyes travel up and down her body. “Sergei is involved in something that is making him a little crazier than normal. I don’t know what it is and he hasn’t told me. In fact, if he caught me listening, he would kill me.”
I point to the now yellowing bruise on her cheek. “Is this the first time he did that?”
She shakes her head. “Over the past couple of months, he got even more angry and has taken it out on me. I don’t know much about it, but it is scary.”
I nod. “He’s been fucking with me and my bratva. He’s been trying to push us off the map because we shut down one of his operations.”
Varya eyes pierce through my soul as she looks like she can see through me. “You’re the reason why he has been so angry?”
I smile. “Yes. He is fucking with the wrongpahkan.”
She starts walking closer to me and her wet hair is creating wet spots on her tank top. “What are you doing?”
“I’m not like Sergei. I’m not the one who lets others do my dirty work in my bratva. I’m the one who handles mytsekhoviki.”
Her nipples are tighter and straining against the tank top. “Are you going to take him down?”
The look of pure excitement on her face has me excited. I love that she wants to take him down. What I don’t know is if she wants to be mine or if she’s playing a game.
“I’m going to take him down. What I need to know is what side of the war you’re going to be on. If you want to be with Sergei and hisshpana, I’ll release you as soon as he gives me back my property.”
I’m giving her the option. I’m giving her what she needs to finally break free of Sergei. However, the underlining reason here is that if she stays here with me, she becomes mine. I’m not letting her go.
