Elyah

Konstantin stares at the door Lilia just disappeared through, an expression in his eyes like he wants to go after her and find out what her pussy tastes like. Alarm plunges down my spine. I would think that he’s had his fill of treacherous women by now.

When I woke up this morning, the first thing I saw out of my bedroom window wasn’t the flowers in the garden or the sun glinting on the smooth waters of Lake Como. It was a crow. A huge black crow staring beadily at me from the lawn, its wicked beak glinting. I smacked the glass with my palm and it didn’t so much as ruffle its feathers.

When I was in prison, I learned to take these signs seriously. If I saw an inmate who was a friend first thing in the morning, my day would be all right. If I came face to face with an enemy, even if it was just in the line at the canteen, I knew there would be trouble before the sun went down.

I round on Konstantin and growl through my teeth in Russian, “Do you want another bullet in your head?”

I should probably switch the mics off so the women can’t hear us in the next room, but none of them speak Russian.

Konstantin turns slowly toward me, his expression neutral as he waits for me to speak my mind. I don’t like silence when my head is full of shouting and chaos.

“If I tell you that a woman is a viper, I thought by now you would have learned to believe me.”

Kirill loads the revolver with fresh bullets, snaps it closed, and spins the cylinder. “We are bringing that up now when we have just had a lovely time with Number Eleven? You’re such a mood killer, Elyah.”

I ignore Kirill and keep my eyes trained on Konstantin. I see the way he’s started looking at Lilia. He’s fascinated by her, and his fascination is growing every day. He wants her. Not to marry her. To fuck her, and if he does that then we’re all done for.

I don’t know how she’ll do it, but if Lilia gets her claws into him then we’re screwed.

“Is she going to make you turn on me?” Konstantin asks.

I make a short, angry sound. “Do not be fucking stupid.”

I have never dared to talk to my Pakhan like this before, but Konstantin is different to the others I’ve had in the past. He likes us to say what’s on our minds. He feels more comfortable that way, knowing we can be honest about any danger and treachery that’s lurking about, and that we’ll call him out on his bullshit if necessary. After Kirill and I saved his life, the three of us have been more like friends than boss and foot soldiers.

I feel more protective of Konstantin than I am of anyone else on this earth. I would die for him, and I know Kirill would, too.

“He’s not thinking of betraying you, Kostya.
