Leaving Mika naked and needy was excruciating, and my cock throbs against the zipper of my pants just thinking about it. I don’t like that I had to leave her when she was so close to walking out the door, either. My men know not to let her off the premises until I get back, but the fiery horsewoman is unruly enough—I wouldn’t put it past her to try slipping past them if I didn’t do a good enough job of convincing her to stay. Still, I couldn’t just ignore the fact that Nikolai sent men to attack my house. Maybe he thought I was there or maybe not—but Nina is, which makes his actions unacceptable, and from what Marco told me, this is more than some dead bastard’s head being delivered in a box. That’s why I’m on my way down to the city in the chopper to sort this all out.

I can see the black smoke still dissipating in the air before we reach the house, and my blood boils as I glare out the helicopter window. No one got hurt in the fire—but still, ramming through my front gates to launch Molotov cocktails inside my front windows? If Nikolai thinks this is going to convince me to marry his daughter, he’s completely unhinged. Intimidation doesn’t work with me, though it is having a significant impact.

I clench my jaw as my father’s words of warning echo in my ears, coming back to haunt me. “You can’t trust the Russians—not with Nikolai Kapranov in power. He’s as likely to stick a knife in your back as he is to shake your hand. The Russians play by their own rules, and they’ll expect you to play by them, too. Better to just keep your distance and keep your defenses sharp along the border.”

I might not agree with my father on all the decisions he made, but I’m starting to realize he might have been right on this one. I never should have agreed to marry Ana Kapranov. At least I know what I’m dealing with now—before Nikolai had had the opportunity to get a firm grip on my ballsack. Once he had me locked into a marriage alliance, I could have been stuck supporting any number of rash, hot-tempered moves he might make. I would have been obligated to support him, while he seems far too willing to make enemies. Right now, it’s looking like I might just become one of those enemies, which I’m not entirely sure would be worse than tying our families together at this point. But if I can get him back to the negotiating table, I still believe I can make something out of this alliance.

If I can’t, this could end in a gruesome war, and I don’t want that either.

Sighing, I lean my head back against the headrest of my seat and massage my temples. The chopper slowly sinks toward the helipad located in the side yard of my estate. Marco’s waiting for me as soon as we land, and Vincent follows me out of the bird as I hop down and head toward the house.
