“Are you dying?”

Maybe he shouldn’t have been as surprised as he was at her bold question—especially not when she’d been doing it so frequently. Still, he didn’t expect her to pose it quite as frankly as she did. In a way that offered him little to no room to talk around it, or let her figure things out on her own.

Not without him being called on it, anyway.

“Well, are you?” she pressed.

Vaslav still tried to deflect. “Aren’t we all?”

He should have been enjoying the sight of her still trapped between him and the counter. He’d all but closed the distance between them so her soft curves were molded against his hard lines. She might act like she couldn’t get away, but all she really needed to do was slip under one of his arms barricading her on either side.

It wasn’t that hard.

She didn’t move an inch.

Vaslav knew, then.

Vera liked where she was.

Good.

So did he.

“Sooner than me?” she asked. “How about that, since you seem to like your word games so much. Are you dying sooner than me?”

That earned her a scoff. “I’m old enough to be your father—that’s a foolish question from such a smart young woman.”

“Why are you so difficult?”

“Being unwilling to discuss my possible death—early or otherwise—makes me difficult?” Vaslav laughed as he tilted his head to the side, saying only, “See, I would think there are a million other things that make me far more difficult than that one. Try one of those.”

“I bet there wouldn’t be a point.”

He chuckled. “You wouldn’t be wrong, either.”

Vera’s hand raised high enough that she was able to graze the pads of her fingertips along the ridge of his facial scar. From where it met the corner of his mouth and then straight across his cheek. He didn’t particularly like the scar to be touched, but as he couldn’t quite pull himself to look away from her while she studied his old injury up close and personal, he decided it was worth the slight discomfort. Her attention, gentle touch, and closeness was more than enough to soothe any of his lingering irritation.

“You’re just deflecting,” Vera said then. “And I won’t call you daddy. Even if you are old enough to be my father.”

The way her tone dipped to a silk cadence was enough to wrap his body—from toe to tip—in a warm rush of need that he hadn’t been expecting. Oh, his cock had been semi-hard from the moment she was near, but that wasn’t quite the same as the surge of lust he actually had to ignore to keep from acting on with her already easily accessible to use as he pleased.

Smirking down at her, Vaslav admired the way her hair swayed with her laugh when he returned just as fast with, “But, kisska, I bet that’s the only thing you won’t do for me.”

And that was fine. He never did have a taste for women with daddy issues determined to work them out on him. Having the issues wasn’t the problem, either.
