Chapter 21

Taras

Yeah, what the hell will I do with her?

It’s a question that’s bounced between my ears for the past God only knows how many hours, still with no fucking answer.

The legs of my chair squeak against the tile floor as I push it back. I stand up slowly, holding her expectant gaze. She wants answers.

Just like me.

So I’m gonna start with the one person who’d better have them. “You need to get dressed. We’re going for a ride.”

“Where?”

“Enough with the questions. You’ve reached your limit for the day.”

“You know, it would be nice to actually get details from you instead of grunts and grousing.”

I take a few steps toward her. “Oh, you think I owe you that?”

She doesn’t cower. Good girl. I always knew she had that fire.

“I think if you’re going to use me like fucking bait to drag my dad out of whatever hole you think he’s in, I should get more than one-word answers. This is my life and my family we’re talking about.” She puts a hand on her hips. “And if memory serves, you got some news last night that threw you for a loop, too. We both want to know what the hell we’re dealing with. We should at least level with one another.”

“Fine,” I snap. “We’re going to see my brother, Luka. Okay? Happy?”

She rolls her eyes. “Yes, I feel completely looped into your twisted mind now.”

I stomp up the steps toward my room, yank open the closet door, and pull a pair of Victoria’s Secret Pink sweatpants from the shelf.

Alexis recoils when I dangle them in front of her. “I’m not wearing pants that one of your whores left behind.”

My fingers grip the fabric tight. “They’re Val’s. She stayed with me the night before her wedding and left them here.”

“Oh.” Alexis takes them from me and pulls them on. The Hurricanes shirt hangs low on her petite frame, like a long nightgown. But at least she’s fully covered. Actually, more covered than I’ve ever seen her since meeting her at Karma last night.

My pulse throbs. I don’t like seeing her dressed. I prefer her naked and pressed tight against my chest, which is the main reason why I couldn’t answer her question.

The truth is, I don’t know what the hell to do with her if Vlad doesn’t show up, guns blazing over the fact that I snatched his daughter and threatened to marry her. It was a rash decision, something I spewed in the heat of the moment because I have no fucking idea how else to get Vlad’s attention.

But as the hours pass and I see glimpses of what lies behind her tortured eyes and sharp tongue, I need more. I want more. I take more.

And she lets me. Every time.

The connection between us is strong. Fighting it is futile. And it’s not just the explosive chemistry. It’s more. And damn, it’s deep. We’ve both been victims of betrayal — her at the hands of Hockley and her dad; me, courtesy of my dead father and brother, Dima.
