Grigoriy Petrovic lived in a building in the Golden Triangle, one of the most exclusive and expensive neighborhoods in St. Petersburg. His home was filled with huge paintings in heavy frames, and a variety of statues. They ran the gamut all the way from tasteful nudes to not-so-tasteful nudes.

I sat down with Andrei’s father and Andrei’s grandmother to a late brunch. His grandmother’s name was Yevgenia and she was a tiny woman in her 70s with a snowy white bun and an apple-cheeked cheerful face. She looked nothing like the matriarch of a Bratva.

“I’m not going to lie and tell you my son is a good person,” the Pakhan said. “He’s not. He’s an asshole.”

I glanced over at Yevgenia, to see if she would object as a grandmother, maybe tell me he wasn’t that bad because he loved baking bread with her or had a soft side.

But she nodded crisply. “Grisha is right. Andrei is a cruel man.”

I didn’t have any response. I knew it was true.

Grigoriy looked speculatively at me.

“For your own good, I should probably take you as my wife,” he said. “You’d be a lot safer with me.”

I gulped. Grigoriy Petrovic was a powerful man. He was pretty damn hot, too, with his beard and the thick muscles in his arms.

But I didn’t know which option was riskier: marrying Andrei or not marrying Andrei.

If the Pakhan thought it would be safer to keep Andrei from me, he was dead wrong.

I had also learned one thing from meeting Andrei.

I didn’t want safe.

“Andrei wouldn’t let you,” I said.

His eyes looked warmly on me. “Khrabraya devushka,” he said. “Brave girl.”

To cover my confusion, I looked down and put a couple more sugar cubes into my tea.

“My son isn’t a good person,” said Grigoriy. “He’s brutal and violent. But he is loyal. Often to a fault.”

“He doesn’t want a wife,” I told him, amazed at my own boldness. “He won’t agree to marry me.”

“We’ll see about that,” said the Pakhan, and he waved a servant over.

I cried out with pleasure as they brought over a mouth-watering selection of Russian pastries.

Andrei’s father looked pleased, and began to explain what each item was, bending over me to name each one.

I hadn’t even heard the door open, but Andrei spoke coldly behind me.

“Trying to put your rusty seduction skills to good use, Pakhan?”

His father laughed and turned around to look at his son, speculation in his eyes. “And if I was, Andrei?”

I saw Andrei’s lips tighten, and he said, “she’s too much work for you, old man.”

Grigoriy smiled, showing rows of bright white teeth. “I gave her to you, and to you she remains. As long as you agree to marry her.”

Andrei kept his eyes on his father, but he said to me, “Cerise, go and wait in the library. It’s down the hall on the right.”

I grabbed several of the most tempting-looking pastries and went.
