Page 85 of Her Filthy Reverse Harem Romance Collection

Maksym pushes his impressive weight forward and I hold a hand out for him to slow down. Not for fear of any harm coming to India, but for the poor son-of-a-bitch he’ll kill for touching her. And I want to be the one to wrap my hands around his throat.

“Wait,moy brat.”

I shrug out of my overcoat and toss it along the back of her sofa.

Beside me, the other two do the same.

None of us could wait for another second to see India after touching down so we are still in our suits and feeling a little jet-lagged from our trip west.

We all agreed to leave our weapons in the limo and now I’m regretting our decision. Whoever is in there with our girl will just have to die by our bare hands.

My heart hammers and I can feel Maksym’s heavy breathing on the back of my neck cranking up my own anxiety.

None of us say anything as I try the knob and find it unlocked.

Careless girl.

Soft music plays over a small set of speakers as all three of us step into the bedroom. With the help of her computer screen and a small lamp, both sources of light work together to beat back the shadows.

Besides her desk, any other furnishings are sparse. A nightstand with a large stack of books and a third door, which I suspect is her closet, are off to the left. The place is rather small given her family roots as the country’s leading company is security tech.

Until now we’ve never stepped foot inside her apartment. Our time together was always about making her comfortable and having us in her space where her friend could discover us seemed to put her on edge. So, we respected that.

Until she stopped taking our calls.

A year ago, I never imagined us this close to losing my sanity but the longer I’m away from India Cambridge, the less human I feel. She completes me.

She completes us. Which blows my freaking mind.

We grew up together, rose from poverty, fought back the fuckers wanting to take us out by any means and have the scars to prove it. Through it all my brothers and I bled, cursed and grew stronger. Brick by brick we built our underworld empire, dirty and sinful as it is, and now power and money are commodities we no longer lack.

We decided a long time ago whatever we did we either did it together or not at all.

Including finding love. But I’ll be the first to admit I never saw this coming. Maybe because none of us were ever looking for more than a quick lay before her.

Our thoughts revolved around securing our hold, weaseling out threats to our kingdom until one day we found ourselves on our thrones at the top with no queen at our sides. And no one left to test our trigger fingers.

Years of living in the shadows made us believe we’d never find someone to share our lives with. Bringing someone into our way of life went against the last few morals any of us have.

And then India appeared like a mirage of untainted beauty with her wounded heart and beautiful eyes.

One look and I was broken for any other. Foolish for a man to say? Possibly. But I don’t give a fuck. She shattered my fucking control. She hooked me. Made a mad man out of me. I’m obsessed, I guess you could say. I can only be whole with her in my life.

And I know Maksym and Stefan well enough to understand we are all suffering without her.

I spy her phone on her desk and a couple of taps on the screen show she’s received our texts and calls. But left them unread.

A mistake she’s about to answer for.

Maksym narrows his eyes at me and I confirm with a quick jerk of my chin, knowing he understands. His wolfish grin tells me India is about to pay dearly indeed.

We look at each other and I can feel it to the marrow of my bones. We are where we belong.

We all feel the pull she has over us. The primal need to claim her and mark her. Keep her as our queen. As fucked in the head as that sounds. Something we’ve yet to do. Not until she’s ready for those steps. But not feeding her tight pussy our milk has been a test of wills and one I am close to losing.

But because of who she is and the heartache she’s been through we’ve been patient. But I don’t know for how much longer.

We advance quietly.
