Russian Roulette (Russkaya Mafiya) (69 page)

“You want to test me? Just because I’m not some damn kingpin, it doesn’t mean you want to fuck with me bro.”

A chuckle escapes at his bravery and all eyes shoot to my wide smile.

Viktor cocks his eyebrow and orders, “Enough Lexi, calm down. He’s a part of my family; please show him a little respect. We all need to work together on this and Beau has sources we aren’t privy to.”

Alexei huffs but does as he’s told. Beau sits as well, then we continue.

“Also Sabrina spoke about knowing Kolya Minski. I wanted to update you that he had an unfortunate accident and won’t be returning to the states.”

And Beau moves up a notch to me. “Serious?” I respond.

“Yep, he’s toast…literally.”

“You’re definitely part of this family,” I chuckle. “So what are we planning then?” I ask and Viktor turns to me.

“We’re planning a cease and desist. We send in a large number of men to clear out the building and then we obtain any women still alive. Anyone deceased, we’ll leave alone and alert the local authorities so their families are able to get some kind of closure. We charter a bigger plane than the jet and fly the girls here, have a few doctors on standby to help them get well, and then offer them a chance to go back to their old lives, or give them a new life if needed. I’ve spoken to Roman about it all on his end and everything is in the works as we speak.”

“The same plan we spoke about this morning?”

“Yes, just catching everyone else up,” Viktor finishes.

Beau draws in a quick breath. “My mother told me you were all bad, I wasn’t expecting you guys to want to help them. If anything I was wondering if you were partially behind it and that’s what started this whole mess.”

Tate shakes his head. “No, Beau. Since Viktor and I took over, things have changed. Now we aren’t squeaky clean or anything, but we’re trying to make our family businesses legit. Viktor has abolished the sex trade from his side and I’ve stopped all of the money laundering and drugs running through my clubs so far. We’ve pushed our father and yours completely out.”

He conveniently leaves out that we’re heavily into weapons trading and linked to a notorious biker club. But I guess we can’t be all good, or we wouldn’t be criminals.

He nods and we’re interrupted by Elaina, “Dinner’s ready!” She beams and we all stand, ready to eat.

Sabrina

We sit for dinner; I have blondie to my right and
Spartak beside me to the left. On the other side of Nikoli sits Vishna with Beau beside her. To say things are tense for Niko would be an understatement. I’m sure his neck is going to be sore from twisting between Spartak and Beau, keeping tabs on them.

“Spartak, have you read anything good lately?” I ask quietly and he looks up at me surprised.

“Umm, no, ma’am.” He shakes his head and takes a big bite of his food, effectively ending our conversation.

Okay then.

The guys continue their talk from the living room and it’s thrilling to hear their plans to rescue all the other women we had to leave behind at Perfectcore.

After listening to them shoot ideas around for a while, I interrupt, “Will we be able to help out at the club also?”

They all quiet, turning their attention on me. It’s so freaking annoying when they do that. I know it’s being respectful, but it makes me really uncomfortable to have everyone focused so intently on me.

Tate’s gaze meets mine and he smiles kindly, “Yeah, Sabrina, you girls can run the entire show over there. I know we’ll need lots of supplies: new clothes, sanitary products, food and medical supplies. I’m sure the doctors will be grateful for your help.”

“Good, I would love to be a part of this,” I beam back and Nikoli reaches over, squeezing my hand to show me support. He’s been nothing but a rock since I’ve come home. He’s been building me up with his words and making me feel like a queen with his actions. “When is this happening?”

Nikoli pulls my hand to his lap and speaks up, “We’ve agreed for it to happen tonight. We have men from Russia flying over to handle everything. A friend in the UK is supposed to make sure all of the women get loaded onto a plane that Viktor is chartering as soon as possible. We hope to have them here by late tomorrow night if everything runs smoothly.”

“Wow! So fast.”

“Da, pixie.” He grins. “Now onto other things, if I may have your attention please?”

I quiet along with everyone else and stare curiously as a huge smile graces his face.

“My love, Bina, has agreed to marry me when she arrived, so I hold her to it.” He stands and pulls a small square box free from his inside suit pocket, his eyes meeting mine. “Moy Sabrina, you still agree to be mine, to let me love you with everything that I am?” he asks, opening the box and removing the tiny ring from inside.

“Da, Blondie.” I respond, beaming a bright smile and he lifts my hand, sliding the ring securely onto my finger. He keeps ahold of it and kisses each of my knuckles sweetly. Chaos breaks out as our friends clap and cheer us on.

Nikoli mouths, “I love you,” and I nod and say it back. His cheeks grow red and he sits back down, brimming with excitement.

Once everyone calms down again, Niko releases my hand so I can eat. A flash catches my eye as I bring my glass of water to my lips and I realize it’s my new engagement ring. Quickly, I replace the glass to the table and bring my hand close so I can get a good look at what he’s picked out for me.

“Holy shit, Nikoli!” I gasp as I take in the size and weight of the pink diamond securely resting in a platinum band on my tiny finger. The ring would make even my own mother envious if she were to see how obnoxious it really is. “It’s huge!”

“I know,” he answers proudly, “I told you, everyone will know you’re my wife.”

“Da, Blondie, no missing that!” I laugh, crazy man. The ring almost touches the knuckle on my finger!

Glancing around, Tate, Viktor, and Alexei all wear matching large grins as they stare at Niko. They must have told him the same thing, but my man obviously doesn’t care in the slightest. At this rate, I may get robbed next if the wrong person sees it, not that Niko will leave me alone long enough for that to actually happen. I don’t mind it, though. If anything, I love knowing that I’m safe and no one can harm me anymore.

I never have to worry about my father ever trying anything with me either. Nikoli filled me in on what he did to him. I cried, a lot, because when it comes down to it, he was still my father. In the end though, I’m happy he can no longer hurt innocent women. I’m still curious as to what rock my mother scurried under to hide. Hopefully she stays gone, and I never hear from her again.

After dinner as we clear plates away, Elaina leans over, “And to think, it was just a month ago that you were scared of Niko finding out you loved him in that way.” She gestures to my ring, “And now you’re marrying the love of your life.”

“I didn’t think you paid attention to that conversation.” I giggle and she smirks.

“Honey, I always pay attention. If there’s one thing being with Viktor has taught me, it’s to pay attention to details.” She bumps her hip into mine and takes the dishes to the sink.

“It was nice for everyone to be here for dinner to welcome me home.” I follow her to the kitchen with my own load.

“Of course, silly woman, we all love you. When you went missing, it was just horrible around here. Someone was always crying, moping around or angry and everyone was searching for you. To have you home makes us all remember why we missed you so much. But I wanted to talk to you about something I discussed with Viktor while you were gone if you don’t mind?”

“Oh, definitely. If it’s about us taking up the barn again, I’m sorry, I just don’t feel right at Tate’s house.”

“Actually, it is.” She laughs. “While you were gone, I started to become depressed. I had forgotten how much Viktor works when he has something important going on and I’m so used to having my close friend around all the time now. I missed you because I’ve grown to love you, but I also realized how much I depend on seeing you every day. Does that make sense?”

“Yes, it makes sense. You missed me because we’re friends, but you also felt lonely because we spend so much time together normally?”

“Yes, that’s exactly what I mean! So I brought it up to Vik that I would love to expand here. He owns so much of this land out here and there’s nothing on any of it. I asked if you and Nikoli would want to, if it is okay to have a house built for you to live here permanently.”

“Are you joking right now?”

“No, God, I’m so sorry for over stepping…I should have spoken to you first before I even brought it up to him.”

I set the dishes down and grab her into a strong hug. “You’ve just made me a very happy person, thank you.”

“Oh-oh, I did? Yaay! So you think it’s a good plan then?”

“I love the idea! I’ll ask Nikoli if it’s okay with him and maybe see if we can work out a date to have it built and then talk to Viktor about where a good spot is. Honestly I wasn’t looking forward to moving so this answers one of my wishes. Thank you, Elaina, and thank you so much for being such a sweet friend to me.”

She squeezes me back. “Always, chick.”

We let go as Nikoli, Vishna, and Viktor come into the kitchen. Viktor cocks his head, “Everything all right?”

“Yes, it’s good, Vik.” Elaina responds, walking over to his embrace.

“You ready, Bina?”

“Sure, we’re done clearing the dishes and Vishna and Emily agreed to wash, so I’m officially free.”

“No, Vishna, go with them, I’ll help Emily,” Elaina offers.

“Are you sure? It is no problem; I can do them all,” Vishna argues quietly and Elaina shakes her head, kissing Vishna’s cheek.

“All of you need to get some rest.”

Nikoli shakes Viktor’s hand. “I’ll return in a few hours to monitor how everything’s going with you guys.”

Sounds good. Text first and I’ll send Lev over to watch your door.”

“Okay thanks.” He gives Elaina a small hug. “Thank you for dinner —wonderful as always.”

“You’re very welcome, Niko, good-night.” Elaina hugs him back and sends me a small wave as we leave and make our way to the loft.

We head down the small path, and I kick off my shoes as soon as we get through the door, making Nikoli laugh at me.

“I didn’t realize I had missed that until now.”

“Me kicking my shoes off? I can’t help it my feet hurt.”

“I know. You do it every time you drink wine.”

“Nyet, seriously?”

“Da.” He chuckles and Vishna joins in.

“Na-na you okay on the sofa? We’ll get you a bed soon.”

“I’m fine, Niki, don’t worry. I’m just happy to be close to you.”

“Me too, say straa. Sleep well.” He kisses her forehead.

“Night, Sabrina.” She calls.

“Good-night!” I wave to her and Nikoli heads up the stairs with me, shucking his jacket before we make it to the top.

“Are you hot, Blondie?”

“Only for you, gorgeous.”

A smile and a blush take over at his words; he’s always saying things like that, making me feel special. His phone goes off and I can tell right away it’s his friend Avery. Their friendship used to bother me, but now that she’s super in love with a motorcycle club guy, I no longer worry she’ll end up wanting Nikoli. I never told him I was scared of her wanting him back, but it used to drive me crazy to listen to them joke around when we were together. He goes on telling her about our engagement excitedly and I can hear her yell through the phone that she’s so pleased for him.
Maybe she’s not so bad after all.

Wanting his attention back on me, I start stripping my clothes off when we hit the landing. Each piece I remove, I throw at him while he watches me intently. He keeps his conversation going until I give in, approaching him, fully naked; I take his hand, placing it where I want it the most. He stays on the phone, he’s quiet now, but he’s doing it on purpose, making me wait.

Too easy.

Taking one of his fingers, I push it inside my achy center. It’s enough that he stutters out a good bye and finally hangs up.

“Good talk?”

He clears his throat, breathing heavier, “Yes, great talk. What are you up to, little one?” He swallows harshly as I hold his hand to me, grinding down on it while I keep eye contact.

“Oh you know, I just thought it might be fun for you to make me come,” I gasp out and lick my lips. Reaching forward, I flick the button on his suit pants free.

“Da? Like this?” He grabs my ass cheek, yanking me to him, while moving his hand, creating delicious sensations.

“Uh-huh.” I give his pants a push and they fall to the floor exposing his Superman briefs. Through the pleasure I chuckle slightly. He’s adorable but at the same time sexy as all get out. I didn’t realize that was even possible.

“I never imagined you could be any more beautiful, but to see you naked in only your ring, makes you look absolutely amazing.”

Concentrating, I unbutton his dress shirt, so it hangs open, showing me his muscular body and markings. The wine from dinner is working in his favor, giving me more courage to take control and show him what I really want.

“Why the blood on your stomach, my love?”

“You don’t want to know about that, especially now. You’ll think I’m fucked up.”

“Are they the marks for each hit?” I groan as he continues his onslaught of pleasure to my body.

Nikoli nods and it makes me even wetter to learn he’s that much more powerful, to know that my man has killed people. It makes me feel safe, like he’ll protect and cherish me, never letting anyone harm me ever again. I’m the fucked up one, getting turned on by tallies marking death, by being drawn to his tainted side.

I pull his fingers free, briefly sticking them in my mouth one by one to suck them clean, causing him to moan in bliss and then I squat down to kiss and suck where each little droplet of blood is tattooed across his abdomen.

I don’t know if it’s the area or the significance of me loving everything about him, but his cock fully stiffens. Grasping his thick length, I pump it up and down, then around in circles. I wish my mouth was completely better so I could suck it. Not one to be deterred, I lick up and down all over his cock and then around over the tip.
