TWELVE

Azelie wrapped herself in her largest robe. She’d taken a bath in her tiny bathtub and now she had to face what she’d done. She should have asked Andrii questions before she had sex with him. Now she didn’t know if she could bear to lose him. Still, she didn’t want to go into a relationship with her eyes closed.

Andrii was a scary man. Not in the same way Billows was scary, but there was no denying he was dangerous as hell. Just because he was so unfailingly sweet to her didn’t mean a relationship would work, especially with Billows looking over her shoulder and threatening anyone who came near her.

Andrii had been wonderful to her after having sex with her. He kissed her dozens of times, whispered how beautiful she was. How much she meant to him. How amazing she made him feel. He made her feel as if she were the only woman in the world. Still, that didn’t excuse the fact that she should have asked questions before.

Her apartment was extremely small, but she made certain she was a safe distance away from Andrii. He seemed to be able to cast a spell on her, and she had to have a clear mind when she asked him very important questions.

He was seated in one of her two comfortable chairs, his legs sprawled out, feet bare, wearing just jeans and his unbuttoned shirt. His laid-back position and the way he was dressed suggested an intimacy level she wasn’t sure she could cope with.

He had scars. A lot of them. Burn marks. Bullet scars. Ones from knives. What looked like whip marks. She hadn’t seen his back, but if his chest was covered in scars, she had to assume his back would be as well. He was heavily tattooed. She wanted to trace those tattoos with her tongue. Press kisses over the scars just as he had over her three. Three bullet wounds had seemed a lot until she saw his chest.

Azelie forced herself to ask the necessary questions. The important ones. “Do you own a gun?” She had to know.

Her heart went crazy, accelerating far beyond what it should have. She found she was more fearful of his answer than she was of Billows and his threats. She wasn’t falling for Billows. She was for Andrii.

She knew she was more than halfway there. Everything about Andrii appealed to her. He was sweet and caring. Very attentive. At the same time, he made her shiver with excitement, feeling the underlying power clinging to him. She had been on her own for as long as she could remember. Janine had taken her in when her mother had imploded, but she was expected to contribute to the household—even when Quentin wasn’t.

She had often made decisions with Janine she didn’t want to make. Neither woman had a choice when there was no one else to figure it out. She pushed herself to be definite and firm in her options, but her inclination was to put things off.
