Chapter 18

HOLLAND

Funerals are tough, even if it’s a man you didn’t like much. My mother sent me a text message late last night that she would not be attending and that she would see me the next time she was in the States, which I took to mean this side of never.

I’m glad for it.

I thought that I would be sad to never see her again, but honestly, I don’t care. I have a new exciting adventure ahead of me with Danill and I can’t wait for it to truly begin.

Always.

I feel the sensation of being watched and I look over my shoulder to see him standing with his shoulder against the jamb, looking entirely too sexy for a funeral. He smiles in my direction and I turn around completely to face him.

His gaze flicks down my entire body, then slowly he brings his eyes up to meet mine before he winks and pushes off of the jamb. I watch as he makes his way toward me, but I don’t move. I stay where I am, my high heels cemented to his gorgeous hardwood floors.

He’s like a lion hunting for his prey and boy, oh boy, do I love being this man’s prey. He stops a few inches in front of me, his chin tilted downward, his gaze on mine and his lips tipped up into a small smile. Then I suck in a breath as he lifts his hand, his palm cupping my cheek.

“Are you ready for this?” he asks, his voice soft and rough.

Licking my lips, I close my eyes, then I lean forward and wait for his lips to touch mine. They don’t. “You’re wearing lipstick,” he announces.

Opening my eyes, I press my red-painted lips together. “I’m not ready, because I know without a doubt the world will see us now. They’ll know you and I hate that.”

He hums, leaning forward and I feel his lips on the shell of my ear. “The world will never know me, kroshka. The world will never be where you are. Do not give the onlookers the power to see you and they will never know you.”

Everything inside of me melts instantly at his words. God, if I could bottle this man up and keep him forever, I think that I would. The way that he talks, though, I’m not sure that I’ll ever lose him. It should terrify me and he does scare me, but as the minutes and the hours pass, I find that I like the idea of being his more and more.

“Danill?”

He hums again, this time lifting his head so that he can look into my eyes. I search his white gaze, he gives absolutely nothing away, not a damn thing.

“Holland,” he says when I don’t continue or ask him anything.

Letting out a sigh, I give him a smile. “I’m falling for you,” I confess.

He chuckles, his voice soft and warm. It fills me up from the inside out and I wonder if this is what love feels like? I’ve never felt warm before, not like this.
