Chapter 11

Dominik

The adrenaline rush was intense, the desire refusing to be satisfied. I felt more alive than I had in months if not years. And it was all because of the woman I continued to hold in my arms. Hope had brought out the beast, but there was something even more troubling. She’d managed to get under my skin in the short period of time she’d been in my possession.

Some would call that a weakness. Hell, I would agree the majority of the time, but given she’d also managed to yank me out of another layer of darkness, altering my focus was also beneficial.

At least I hoped.

I had a purpose that might not make sense to anyone else, but I knew I was correct in making my decisions. I just had to figure out when the time was right. Leaving her would be difficult, not only because of my raging hunger, but also because I knew she would continue to try to dig into my past. At least I’d give Jerry explicit instructions on how to handle her.

Sighing, I rubbed my jaw, glancing down at the sleeping woman. Every voluptuous curve fit against my scarred body perfectly. It was as if she was meant to be by my side. The thought could be debilitating for most men. But I wasn’t like the majority of men. Maybe I was barely human.

I closed my eyes, enjoying the quiet moment until I heard the sound of my phone. Very few people had my number and while I’d been able to eliminate any possibility that someone could trace any call to my location, I bristled nonetheless. I’d forbidden anyone to call me unless it was an emergency.

The person on the other end of the line better have a damn good excuse. Very gently I eased her aside then climbed out of bed, grabbing my phone and walking into the hallway. The last thing I needed was for her to overhear the conversation.

“Yes?”

“Dominik.”

I recognized the voice, the man someone I used as a private informant. I’d saved the life of his sister years ago. Now he owed me everything for an extended period of time. Angelo knew better than to cross me. At least his information was usually valuable given his ranking within the Ivanov Crime Syndicate, even if he hadn’t known shit about Hope before. “Speak.”

“You’re not going to like this,” Angelo said in a hushed voice.

“Go on.”

“Ivanov is gunning for you. He’s hired two assassins to track you down no matter what it took. No, I don’t have any details. I was lucky to be informed at all. He’s angry. He’s also nervous.”

“When is this going down?”

Angelo snorted. “They’re already in motion. I have no idea about their identities, but I can tell you that they are good at what they do. If you have any secrets, you better lock them down.”

“Did you know about the child?” I asked.

There was no hesitation on his part. “What child?”

“Hope’s son.”

“Jesus. No. Are you trying to tell me Viktor sent you to kill him as well?”

There was a level of truthfulness in his voice.
