Chapter Five

The doctor’s waiting room was busy, but she had been expecting that once Alexei had quietly told her this morning that his father was visiting a renowned specialist whose focus was Alzheimer’s research and treatment. Tara wished she had her e-reader available, but she settled for the selection of magazines spread before her, narrowing it down to a choice between “Field & Stream” or “Woman’s Day.” Both sounded equally boring for different reasons, but she finally opted for the “Woman’s Day” magazine.

Finally, about forty minutes past Ivan’s actual appointment, a nurse in purple scrubs called them back. They followed the harried woman through the maze of the back office, and she was surprised when Yuri and Stepan waited in the lobby rather than accompany them.

As the nurse led them to an exam room, she was even more surprised to find there was an exit down the hallway. She didn’t know for certain that it led out of the large medical building, but it certainly led out of this office. All she had to do was sneak out the exit and make her way through the building. There was a security desk in the entrance that she had noted with interest when they had first entered the multi-office building. If she could make her way back there, the guards were armed, and they would be able to help her.

Obviously, Ivan couldn’t have any idea what was going through her head, but he clung to her hand in a helpless fashion and gave her a smile as she walked with him into the room, helping him sit on the exam table. “Thank you, Valentina.”

She patted his cheek. “I’m Tara, Ivan.”

His expression cleared slightly, but he was still obviously confused. “Of course you are. You’re Alexei’s wife.”

She was appalled at the thrill that shot through her at the sound of that. Of course she wasn’t his wife, and she had no desire to be. She might be caught in his sexual thrall, and she might care a great deal about his father already, but she was in no way planning to make this a permanent solution or accept her fate as his lyubnovik. “I’m just his friend, Ivan.”

The old man chuckled, and his gaze was sharper for a moment. “You’re not just his friend. I get confused sometimes, but I still know some things. My son is crazy about you. If you aren’t his wife yet, you will be.”

She shivered at the words, thinking they sounded oddly prophetic—and oddly appealing. It should be the last thing she should ever want. Marrying a man like Alexei was tantamount to accepting his lifestyle. It meant a lifetime commitment, growing old together, and having children.

Tara couldn’t imagine bringing children into such a relationship, or having their father be in such a dangerous profession. She was thankful that her NuvaRing was still in place and wouldn’t need to be changed for at least another week. Before then, she would have to arrange for Alexei to get her refill, because she wasn’t going to let her birth control lapse.
