I jog up the rough-hewn stairs etched into the side of the cliff. The cave is hidden beneath my feet, and Oleg is finishing up the work I started.

I needed that stress relief, so it’s a good thing Clyde fucked up royally today. His blood washed off my hands with ease, and I don’t think we’ll be needing his services here any longer. If he survives, anyway.

Marguerite is kneading dough as I enter the kitchen. She gives me a knowing nod. “I never liked him.”

“Late for breadmaking, isn’t it?” I ask and grab a plum from the fruit bowl.

“Late for torture too?” she shoots back.

I take a bite of the plum and smile. “Never too late for that.” I continue through the house and up the stairs.

When I get to Charlotte’s room, all the tension that had me humming comes back. But it’s different now. It’s a need that’s been building up every moment I’ve been away, and it doubles every minute I’m in her presence.

The taste I’d had of her wasn’t enough. Not nearly. And after what she did today? I owe her. She’s fierce. Violent, even. Fuck if that doesn’t turn me on. I’ve had a long day of maneuvering and sewing discord among the Bratva about the Volislavs. It hasn’t been easy, but I’ve almost cleared my path to victory—a bloodbath that will end in their deaths and no negative consequences for me. It won’t be easy. They know what I’m up to. I don’t give a fuck. I’m still coming for them.

I take a deep breath and shut off that part of my mind. Instead, I focus on the door, the thin panel of wood that separates me from my angel. An angel of vengeance, apparently.

Did she lock her door like I told her? Or does she want the monster to come inside?

I turn the handle and push. The door opens on silent hinges. I can’t stop the smirk that curls my lips, the rush of heat that suffuses my blood.

She knew I’d come.

I push the door the rest of the way open and ease inside, silently closing it behind me.

She’s asleep, a tablet on her chest and her cat stretched out beside her. I should leave, should walk out of this room and let her sleep. I don’t. I walk over to her, staring down at her as she dreams.

Lulu wakes and stretches, then hops down and trots to the bathroom.

I take the tablet from Charlotte and turn it over. She’s reading a romance novel. I flip through a few pages until I get to the good part. My, my, Charlotte, what naughty tastes you have.

“Hey, what …” She blinks her eyes open, then reaches for the eReader.

I let her take it, and she hastily powers it off.

“Interesting reading material.” I sit beside her.

Her breath hitches, and I can’t tell in the low light, but I’d bet her cheeks are turning a dusky crimson right now. “I just—that was—it’s from the library,” she says defiantly,
