Release Day Blitz…Scandalous Prince by Rachel Van Dyken

“Stop what you’re doing and read Scandalous Prince by Rachel Van Dyken RIGHT NOW! It’s action packed with plenty of secrets and full of smoldering romance! If you love mafia romance, you will LOVE this book!” – New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy
Scandalous Prince by Rachel Van Dyken is now live!

A mafia romance about secrets and soulmates by Rachel Van Dyken, the number one New York Times bestselling author of the Eagle Elite series.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep and miles to go, before I sleep. –Robert Frost

I was born under fire and swore to protect her until my dying day, I just never knew that one day, I’d be the very monster I was protecting her from.
She didn’t know it was me.
She didn’t know that I had no choice and would do it again and again to save her.
I may as well have given her the mark on her finger.
The one that shows where her loyalty must lie.
Because we don’t sin in silence.
And eventually, you have to pay up what you owe.
My need to protect her turned into a lie to save her.
And when she found out–I turned in to the very monster I was trying to protect her from.
Watching Violet Abandonato walk out of my life was like a knife to the chest, a wound that refused to heal.
The bosses sent me to protect her, to watch over her even though I was the demon she fled.
We both carry scars.
But if all I can have is her hate for as long as I breathe.
I’ll take it.
Because at the end of the day, I should burn in Hell forever thinking Chase Abandonato’s perfect angel would pick me–over her perfect life.
“I broke you,” I confessed.
“The worst part… is that you liked it,” she snapped right back.

Welcome to the second generation of the mafia, may the best man or woman, be left standing.

May God bless our tainted souls.

I have always considered RVD the queen of mafia romances. This is one genre that her talent just shines and blows me away every time. But I was not expecting Scandalous Prince to be this twisted and deep. Holy crap!

Breaker did me in with this book. He was so much more than I ever expected and I don’t think I am the same after reading this book.

I really have no idea what to say, I really don’t. I way to say so much but can’t because I will give all the good shit away. And I refuse to do that. Just know that this books moves at the right pace for all the right reasons. And just when you think you have it all figured out, you don’t. GAH – I LOVE IT!!

“I broke you,” I confessed.
“The worst part… is that you liked it,” she snapped right back.

Just read this one – you won’t regret it. It’s one you won’t walk away from completely whole.

Release Day Blitz & Review…El Diablo II by M. Robinson

Release Date: September 8

The sins of the father became those of the son.

Wrath for taking what was precious to me.

Greed for the lives that were mine to kill.

Sloth for the destruction against their will.

Lust for revenge and the blood I’d spill.

Gluttony for the souls I craved.

Envy for the spirits I had yet to take.

Pride for the birthright I’d soon fulfill.

One look.

One moment.

One girl.

She was all it took for me to lose my focus.

Sienna Luciano, my eighth deadly sin.

It was the end of me, but not my legacy.

It was only the beginning of…

El Diablo’s resurrection.

Allow me to introduce myself.

I’m Crucifixio Martinez.

Ummmmmm, yea – this was far from what I anticipated.

El Diablo II is to be a complete stand-alone (but I am not sure that new readers will see that). The premise for this book held so much promise. Did I like it? Yes. However, I felt what was given to us was not what I had expected. I felt that a lot was overlooked, parts were far too overly dramatic and the book wasn’t focused on Cruz and Sienna but other previous characters.

El Diablo II felt more like continuation to Alejandro’s story with an intro to what we can expect next in a spinoff series featuring his kids and what is come in with the five families coming together. I felt that Cruz and Sienna’s story was very overlooked. I personally do not feel that what we got, was Robinson at her best.

I have read almost all of Robinson’s books and I always know that I going to get a story with a deep and expanding plot and characters who are more than one dimensional. I did not get any of that with this book. I felt nothing between Cruz and Sienna til near the end and that felt too rushed for me. They spend no time together and then all of sudden near the end, they’re ready to rip each other’s clothes off. Ehhhh…no.

Cruz doesn’t come across as anything other than a pissed off boy (yes, boy) with the need for revenge. He does not see anywhere the dark and twisted person that Robinson tries to portray. He’s all talk and no bite.

Sienna came across as this bitch most of the book and only softened near the end when her life was at risk (yea, not sold on that turn around). And maybe that’s how all mafia princesses are but it made me not care for her.

The book dragged a lot; there was nothing exciting til about the last 15-20% of the book. The majority of Sienna and Cruz’s interactions were arguing and that got redundant quickly. I felt nothing between them but anger and animosity. This book was open to too many assumptions and things happened that had me scratching my head.

I am usually excited for other character’s books but this time, I am only excited for one – Cruz’s sister, Ari and Christiano and what happened to her during captivity (I truly hope when her books comes out, that part is not overlooked or hurried at all).

Overall – it just ok for me. The ending is what I remember most about this book and that’s because that was the most exciting parts. I remember more about Alejandro and Lexi – but I cannot remember much about Cruz and Sienna, except they argue a lot and he wants to get this sister back. That’s not what I was wanting to get from this book. People who have not read El Diablo, will have a lot of questions on things because he is in this book way too much for it to be a standalone.

Ever since Him.

There’s been a war in our little clique.

After all, a house divided cannot stand.

Excerpt:

He licked his lips and repeated what he always did when we had to perform, when we had to do our jobs. “I won’t be gentle with you.”

Our foreheads touched, my chest heaved with exertion like it was hard to breathe when he was so near, but really it was the promise that killed me, a promise that he wouldn’t enjoy touching me ever again, that I was more curse than cure, and yet, I knew it was all we would ever get, these fleeting moments where we did our job too well. “Then make it hurt, baby.” My voice cracked. “Make it hurt.”

His lips parted in a groan as he spun me into his arms and crushed his mouth to mine. It was part pain, part pleasure as he pulled my hair then slid a hand up my shirt like nobody was watching when everyone was.

We broke apart, mouths swollen, my lower lip was bleeding.

A reminder for both of us—this was no cease-fire, this wasn’t real, it was all a carefully constructed show.

“Mmmmm…” I smirked. “Looks like Junior’s not playing around tonight, ladies.”

Screams went up as Junior grabbed my ass and squeezed so hard, I knew I would bruise later. He roughly pulled me against his chest and nipped at my neck.

I told my body it didn’t feel good.

I told my heart we were safe.

And I forced myself to believe the lie every single time we touched.

Because to do otherwise—would destroy me.

RVD is going back to her mafia roots and I could not be more excited. Her Eagle Elite series is what made me a hardcore RVD fan back in 2013. I have thoroughly enjoyed every book she has written since, but her mafia stories hold special place in my heart and I jumped at the change to read an advance copy of her newest series.

Ruthless Princess is the start of Mafia Royals series and Rachels throws down the blades from the very start. You do not need to read the Eagle Elite series to read this series because it is a whole new group of characters – kids of the Eagle Elite. The Mafia bosses do make appearances, however it’s more with showing of a lineage and helps give you and understanding how all these kids related. It is a lot to taken in, but Rachel does it with ease so you are not lost.

And when I say kids, I say that very loosely. They are adults now – all in their college years. But growing up in the mafia makes you mature much faster than a child normally would. Rachel definitely lets her characters rule the pages and does not hold back on anything. There is a lot of blood, sex and intense scenes. And I LOVED EVERY DAMN BIT OF IT!!!

Ruthless Princess is truly Serena and Junior’s story. But Rachel also uses it to set the stage for what is come of all the cousins within this series. She does is gracefully and never deters from the main story – Serena and Junior’s their forbidden romance.

I will not into details about anything. Just know that not once is there a slowdown in this book. Rachel brings the perfect mix of suspense, steam and even some humor to keep things entertaining on the lighter side. The new Mafia Regime is not holding back on anything and they are determined to not repeat the mistakes of their fathers.

As I said before, you can read this book as a standalone and not have a problem. However, I can’t promise you that after reading this, that you won’t want to go back and read the Eagle Elite series. Rachel does a phenomenal job of introducing the next generation in the Elite mafia and holds back on nothing.

Another great series that will give RVD fans something to look forward to every year with a new mafia progeny.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Waiting For My Queen by Georgia Cates

🔥🔥 HOT NEW RELEASE 🔥🔥

The wait is over! Waiting for my Queen by Georgia Cates is LIVE!! #OneClick today!

BLURB
Emilia—
All I’ve ever wanted was to marry for love.
But girls like me don’t have that luxury.
We are used as pawns in a game we can’t control.
The game? It’s called Mafia.
I was foolish enough to try to change the rules… and I lost.
Luca—
She was promised to me years ago.
And he dared to take her from me.
Dared to touch what was mine.
I put an end to that.
I hope he’s enjoying the view from his dirt room.
Emilia—
My beloved’s killer placed a ruby ring on my finger and called me his queen.
But that red gem symbolizes something different for me.
It represents the blood shed by those I love most.
Hell was empty the day we wed.
Because the devil was standing before me and said “I do.”
Luca—
I saw her as a possession.
A shiny toy I didn’t want other boys to play with.
But she’s so much more.
Beautiful and brave and strong and broken all at once.
She tastes like everything I’ve ever wanted.
Emilia—
Hidden and patient.
I wait for the perfect time to seek my revenge.
But slowly, I feel him possessing me.
His heart is full of darkness… and I still want every inch of him.
Hard as I try, I can’t escape loving this beautiful monster.
Luca—
I’m waiting patiently because I already know that she’s mine.
Mine in a way that no one will ever understand.
Even if she hasn’t yet realized it.
For love, I’d do anything.
For her, I’d do everything.

TEASERS

Waiting For My Queen was different from what I was anticipating but still did not disappoint. I definitely wouldn’t classify this as a dark mafia romance but more along the lines of just a mafia romance.

Luca and Emilia’s story is one of a typical Italian mafia set back in the late 70’s and early 80’s. It was definitely unique as most mafia stories that I have read are set in today’s society with all the high-tech gadgets and amazing firearms. I enjoyed the change in scenery and being taken back to when mafia families truly ran without the aide of technology.

I enjoyed reading how things between Luca and Emilia went from very brash and hateful to open and loving. Emilia has been betrothed to Luca since they were kids but were never raised around one another so it was very difficult to get to know each other. Luca has always held onto that agreement between their families while Emilia fell in love with another. This story definitely surrounds more of the romance between Luca and Emilia than it does the mafia itself. There is very little action when it comes to ins and outs of the mafia world and not dark in any way. I think most romance readers will enjoy this one.

Luca and Emilia were more alike than they realize as they allow themselves to see past the walls they have built. Some things may not happen in the order that their old ways would approve of but it’s how these two see who each other really are under all the guise. Luca will be a man that readers will come to love. Emilia’s strength and stubbornness is what I loved most about her. She may be small in stature, but she is one hell of a bull when it comes to getting what she wants and stopping at nothing to achieve that.

George Cates delivers a great plot with some very enjoyable characters. I love that she left the possibilities of other books open for other characters without having a continuous plot line throughout each book. I enjoyed Luca and Emilia’s story a lot and I am looking forward to more from these mafia families – hint hint.

Excerpt:

I slid my tongue into her mouth. I tasted, I took, I was greedy with each kiss. With blood on my hands, I held her.

With death in my soul, I drank from her.

With the devil in my heart, I coveted her.

I wanted closer.

More.

My gloves felt too hot for my hands.

My hands too big to contain the weeping leather as I pulled away from Alice and stared into her big blue eyes.

“You don’t want this,” I whispered.

She bit down on her swollen lip and reached for me, I stood still as her warm hands touched both of my cheeks. “Lie.”

I let out a hiss of air at her touch. “Walk. Away.”

“Kiss me again.”

“I can’t do that.” I needed to stop doing that.

“Can’t or won’t?”

I told myself one more kiss, one more touch. I told myself it would be okay, that I was still in control.

That I was above this.

That no woman had ever owned me.

No woman had ever taken everything.

My chest heaved as I stared at her mouth, unable to move, completely rooted to the floor.

Alice moved her hands to my jeans and slowly unbuttoned them. I didn’t stop her, I needed to fucking stop her, but it was like I’d drank this paralyzing poison from her lips and couldn’t function, could only watch her as my soul floated above my body, mocking my inaction, telling me that this would be the end of me.

The very end.

Letting her in.

Keeping her there.

I would give her everything.

And then I would lose control.

Lose my mind.

Lose my heart.

I would lose.

So would she.

“Alice…” My voice cracked. “I wish…” Her hands stilled on my jeans like she was ready to pull them down. “I can’t. I wish I could. I can’t.”

How could she possibly understand?

How could I explain the gut-wrenching fear of looking in the mirror and knowing that one choice kept me sane. One choice.

And that was sex.

He’d made that choice.

I wouldn’t.

I couldn’t.

I couldn’t trust myself, couldn’t trust it wouldn’t happen to me too, and hurt someone like her.

Someone so very… perfect.

Without blinking, Alice gripped my jeans, indecision etched on every pretty part of her face.

She was beautiful.

So damn beautiful.

I gripped her wrists with my hands and pulled them away from the very real temptation of getting completely naked and sinking into her, feeling her clench around me, her tight heat.

Shit.

I pulled her into my arms, and she rested her head on my shoulder. Just because I couldn’t let her touch me, couldn’t cross that line, didn’t mean I couldn’t make her happy, I would kill to watch her face in the throes of multiple orgasms.

I quickly gripped her by the hips and put her up on the cold granite countertop.

“Andrei what are you doing?” She looked down at me uncertainty in her blue eyes.

I moved my hands to her ass and pulled down the black leggings she’d been wearing, all the way down to her ankles, right along with a pair of lacy underwear that were bright pink, and perfect.

“Andrei?”

“Yes?”

“Seriously, what are you doing?”

I gripped her knees with my hands and then spread them wide. “What’s it look like I’m doing?” I smirked. “I’m feasting.”

Her eyes widened.

Never underestimate a virgin with an extremely vivid imagination and heightened sexual appetite.

I wasn’t a fucking monk.

I would like to think I knew more than most men, because I’d seen it all, watched it, inadvertently studied it.

If someone gave me a diagram of a woman, I could point out over twenty-two ways to get her off — with my tongue, a feather, my fingers, take your pick.

“You don’t have to—” She let out a gasp, gripping the edge of the granite, turning her hands white.

I chuckled darkly against her right thigh and bit. “I’m sorry, what was that? I don’t have to?”

“I’ve never, nobody has ever… done. This.”

“Tell me,” I asked gently before I dipped my tongue inside her and flicked.

Her entire body jerked.

“Tell me he never touched you like this, tell me nobody has ever touched you like this.”

“Never,” she rasped. “You.” That word was like a gunshot going off in my soul. “Only you, Andrei.”

“Me.” I flicked my tongue again, and gripped her by the ass, pulling her almost completely off the counter while I sat beneath her and sucked her off in the most primitive aggressive way I knew how.

With every ounce of energy I had in my physical body.

With my soul.

I used every weapon in my arsenal.

Debase is the start of spinoff series from RVD’s Eagle Elite series. While there are a lot of previous characters in this book, you do not need to know their stories to understand this book.

RVD has a family tree at the beginning of the book to give you an idea of who is who and how they are all connected, but I will be honest, that confused me and I have read ALL the Eagle Elite books. So it may be best to read this one without that knowledge at first.

Debase is Andrei’s book – the last of the Russian Mafia. He’s battling demons and trying to escape the path his father paved for him. He’s definitely a character that you will love but hate some of his decisions. His definition of a good time is torturing those who have crossed him. He lives up to the reputation that precedes him.

Alice is the one obstacle that Andrei did not see coming. Her intrusion into his life comes with complications. She’s an extremely strong woman, especially after all that she has endured. She quickly became a fave character of mine.

RVD does a great job of meshing the previous series characters into this book and providing new readers a whole new mafia to follow. I am really exited to see where this series goes.

“Sangue in non mai fuori” “Blood in. Never Out.”

Married to the enemy

When Keira O’Malley was a child, she used to picture her perfect wedding. The flowers. The dress. Her husband.

The Bastard’s Bargain Excerpt

Dmitri Romanov didn’t permit himself to breathe a sigh of relief. This was only the first step in a path that could potentially span years. It didn’t matter. Keira was here—was his. He had time.

He watched her look around the inside of the town car, cataloging everything with those witchy hazel eyes of hers. The faint scent of pot filled the car, giving evidence to what she’d been up to when he called. The woman was a mess, but he’d known that from the moment he met her. Dmitri didn’t do projects. He preferred to be the one holding all the cards—it allowed him to anticipate how the people around him would act in any given situation.

He’d never been able to anticipate Keira. Not from the moment she picked his pocket and walked away from him as if she didn’t give a fuck about the danger he posed to her.

Likely because she has a goddamn death wish.

He’d deal with that, just like he’d deal with the rest of Keira’s issues. In time.

Right that moment, time was the one thing they didn’t have. Keira’s oldest brother would be returning to Boston within hours, and Dmitri fully intended to marry her before Aiden realized she was gone. It was significantly more difficult to oust a wife than it was a fiancée.

He had Keira now. He wasn’t going to let anyone take her.

She kicked her feet out, propping her chunky black boots on the seat. The long line of her bare legs drew his gaze up to her tiny sleep shorts. They were barely more than underwear, hugging her hips and ass. Her shirt wasn’t much better, for all that it was long-sleeved. It revealed a slice of pale stomach and was fitted enough that he had absolutely no doubts about the fact that Keira wore no bra. Her small breasts pressed against the fabric, and she shivered beneath the weight of his gaze.

Get control of yourself. He leaned forward and nudged her boots back to the floorboard. Taking Keira was part of the plan—fucking her in the backseat was not. “There’s no need for an adolescent tantrum.”

She laughed, the sound rough and pain filled. “God, would you listen to yourself? You just showed up at my window to lure me into the night—to a chapel—and now you’re bitching about my shoes on the seats? Russian, you have your priorities seriously out of order.” She flicked her long hair off her shoulder. She’d dyed it a harsh blond that seemed designed to highlight how unhealthily skinny she’d become in the last year.

She’s spiraling.

Not anymore.

“Our current situation is no reason to throw propriety out the window.” He sounded stuffy, and he hated it, but with her sitting so close, wearing clothing she’d just been sleeping in…Dmitri dragged in a breath. “Keep your shoes on the floor.”

“Or what?” She turned to face him. The move pulled her shirt even tighter against her chest, revealing the faintest outline of her nipples. Keira saw where his gaze went, and gave a bitter smile. “All the games, all the bullshit, and that hasn’t changed.” She leaned forward and hooked his collar with her finger, drawing him closer despite himself. “Tell me something, Romanov.”

“Hmm?” He dragged his gaze up to her mouth. The wicked curve of her lips was matched only by the words she threw into the space between them with such abandon. The woman wouldn’t know caution if it slapped her in the face.

“You’re dragging me to your cave to be your Bride of Frankenstein.” She shifted closer, her bare leg sliding over his slacks until her thigh came into contact with his cock.

He should move her. Set her back and explain that no matter what she thought of the situation, she wasn’t in control. But the ring he’d put on her finger winked at him, a reminder that Keira wasn’t the sister of his enemy anymore. She was his.

Or she would be in a few short hours.

He bracketed her thigh with a hand, keeping her in place, but didn’t touch her anywhere else. There was no masking his reaction to her, not in their position. Dmitri didn’t bother trying. “Calling me Frankenstein is more than a bit dramatic.”

She looked up at him, her eyes holding a question he didn’t have a satisfying answer to. “I think it’s time to stop being in denial, don’t you?”

He recognized the direction she was headed. “You know I want you. I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t.”

Just like that, the shutters slammed down on her expression. She sat back and he let her go, watching her pull herself together. Her spine went ramrod straight, and she stared at the back of the driver’s head rather than at Dmitri. She crossed her arms over her chest. “No lies between us. That’s what you said. You want me, sure, but don’t pretend any of this bullshit has to do with sex. You need to prove what an international badass you are by marrying the sister of your enemy. An eye for an eye—a wife and a sister. Remember?”

He knew exactly what she was quoting. The note he’d had delivered to Aiden O’Malley just over a year ago. By my count, you owe me both a wife and a sister. I’ll be content with one of yours. He hadn’t realized Keira had seen it.

Twin possibilities spun out between them. She was scared and vulnerable, and if he told her that it was her he wanted and not what she represented, she would believe him. It would even be the truth, at least in part. He hadn’t been able to get Keira out of his head from the moment he met her, and he’d manipulated events to ensure they reached this exact moment.

Telling her that wasn’t telling her the full truth, though. This wasn’t some great love story where he’d been pining for her while her family kept them apart. Dmitri wanted her, yes. He craved the feeling of her body beneath his hands, her taste on his tongue, and her smart mouth around his cock.

But his craving her had no real relevance in the grand scheme of things. He needed one of the O’Malley daughters to regain his status after the blows the family had dealt him over the last two years. Keira was the only option left.

Liar.

It didn’t matter what the truth was, full or otherwise. What mattered was ensuring Keira toed the line. He sat back, trying to ignore the throbbing of his cock, and studied her. “You knew what this was when you climbed out your window and stepped between me and your brother.”

She finally met his gaze, her hazel eyes fiery in their defiance. “Yes, I did.”

He holds a power over me like no one else ever could.

Maybe it’s because my heart begs to beat in time with
his.

Maybe it’s because my body bows to his and his alone.

Maybe it’s because he thought he loved me before he even
laid eyes on me.

He thought wrong, it wasn’t me he thought he loved, and
nothing has made me suffer like that little secret has. He thought I
belonged to him, but he was wrong. It was never supposed to be me.

Our memories are deceiving, but I know what I want now.

What I need more than anything.

I won’t rest until he’s as much mine as I am his.

It’s always been him.

never love a man like me.

She brought out a side of me that I wish had stayed dead.

The Man In Black by Soraya Naomi….Release Day Blitz & Review

Title: The Man in Black

A Chicago Syndicate Standalone Novel

Author: Soraya Naomi

Genre: Dark Mafia Romance

Release Date: August 9, 2018

Blurb

Brielle
He consumed my mind. I never even crossed his.
From the moment I met Michael, mysteriously brooding and dressed like a dark
angel, there was something electric between us. Or so I thought.
What I believed was a seductive and undeniably raw attraction has ended up
being something else entirely, something I never foresaw.
Because he’s a skilled liar and a master manipulator, and I downright misread
his intentions.
And now I’m afraid that falling for the man in black might become my biggest
regret.Michael
An overwhelming remorse haunts me after losing my fiancée, but I’m not a man
who can afford to lower my guard.
I’m a ruthless criminal, one of the top members of the merciless mafia, the
Chicago Syndicate, and I moved back home to keep to myself and do a job.
But when a curvaceous pastry chef with a beautiful smile and a possible link to
my former life catches me in a reckless moment, I’m forced to watch her and
strategize a plan.
Because I’m not sure if she’s out to get me or if she’s just an innocent
civilian who doesn’t know that the restaurant she works at is actually a front
to launder Syndicate money.
And I intend to find out if she’s playing me while I’m playing her. But then
the demons that haunt me force me to make a huge mistake…

Deceit has a price—I just have to make sure I don’t pay with her life.

A standalone novel from the Chicago Syndicate world.

Soraya Naomi has once again knocked my socks off with her infallible writing style and astounding characters.

The Man In Black is the tenth book in Soraya’s Chicago Syndicate series, but it can easily be read as a standalone within in this series. So for those of you who have not read any of her books yet (WHY NOT?!?), grab this one and see why I love this series so much.

The Man in Black is Michael’s story. He is reeling from the loss of his fiancé and never wants to go down that path again. He takes his job very seriously and doesn’t care for recklessness.

Brielle has been used to living on her own for the last several years so when Michael starts poking around her and becoming strangely interested in her, it throws her off kilter a bit.

I am not saying anything else aside from this. This book should be read with as little information as possible so it does not take away from the suspense. Soraya has this brilliant way of bringing together a strong plot line (in this case a spy amongst them) and a side plot line of romance and making them work cohesively to deliver one h*ll of a great story.

Absolutely everything flows wonderfully in this story. You are pulled into the suspense and mystery of the mafia along with the insane attraction between Michael and Brielle. I love the banter between them and let’s just say there is no shortage of hot attraction.

If you have not gathered yet, Soraya is one of my top mafia writers. She stays true to the lifestyle while still writing very intriguing stories and strong characters. I highly recommend this book and her other 9 books in this series!!

Heat wrapped itself around my body. It soothed my soul. I think I took my first deep breath in those seconds, my first big exhale, followed by another deep breath. I pressed my hand against the heat, and came into contact with a hard chest. I didn’t even care that it was the chest of my father’s murderer.
I was sick.
Sick that my murderer made me well.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and breathed him in. We were walking. I didn’t want to spoil the moment by speaking, so I kept my eyes closed, my voice silent as he walked and walked some more.
A door opened and closed.
It smelled like cigars and Christmas spices.
Gently, I was being set down. My body came into contact with something deliciously soft, and it wrapped around me.
And then whatever I was on moved, dipped under the weight of the one carrying me. Maybe if I just kept my eyes closed I could imagine that it was Vic without the word murderer hanging over his head like a blazing red sign.
Maybe I could give in to the fantasy that he was just a guy, I was just a girl. Spending the night in each other’s arms, using each other’s heat for energy.
Blankets were piled over my body, pushing me into the mattress with their weight. And then bulky arms pulled me back against the rock-hard chest again.
“Sleep.” His voice carried like a gunshot in the dark; it was a harsh whisper, a command I wasn’t allowed to say no to. Sometimes, you just need to be forced into rest—and when he’d walked in, I’d been tossing and turning in that stupid chair trying to get comfortable for hours.
But now? Now my body was heavy. My mind was silent.
“Did you kill anyone tonight?” I asked the dreaded question. I wanted to know if the hands that were holding me were hands that had washed off blood. I’d tortured myself with ideas of what he was really going to do tonight. Tortured myself with visions of my dad’s face begging for death.
His body was rigid as he bit out, “No, Renee. I didn’t kill anyone tonight.”
“Are you going to kill anyone tomorrow?”
He sighed. “Well, it is a Friday, those are my favorite days to take a life. What do you think?”
I smiled even though it wasn’t funny. “Sorry, stupid question.”
“Which earned an equally stupid answer.”
“Hey, Vic?” I turned to face him. His eyes were so bright in the darkness that it startled me a bit before I could gather my thoughts. “Did he really beg you?”
“Don’t make me talk about it. Not now. Not when you’re tired and upset. Not when you look at me like you’re disappointed. I can handle a lot of things, Renee, your disappointment in me is not one of them.”
I nodded. “I don’t want to be.”
