Whiskey Poison

The hottest man I’ve ever seen is now my new boss— and I’m stuck in a house with him… Until one of us cracks. I’ve got debt—yeah, I know, so does everyone else on Planet Earth. But the bills I’m paying keep my dad and my grandma alive. So it’s pretty messed-up for Timofey Viktorov to use them as a threat to keep me under control. Not that he cares. As a billionaire CEO, he takes no prisoners in the boardroom. And as the don of the Viktorov Bratva, he takes no prisoners in real life, either. Which is why he has no qualms about extorting me into taking his deal. Live in my mansion… Care for my baby… Or suffer the consequences. But he’s not the only one with an agenda. Timofey has skeletons in his closet—and I’m determined to dig them out. He’s just as determined to keep me far away from the secrets of his past. The longer I’m in his house, the tenser things get. Every time we brush past each other in the hallway, something sparks. Every time we cross paths in the night, the ice grows thinner. Sooner or later, it’s going to crack.

CHAPTER 42

PIPER

The chandelier hanging over my head feels like a threat. Any moment, Timofey is going to pull a cord and it's going to come crashing down on me, I just know it.

Honestly, right now, that doesn't sound so bad. Death would be preferable to watching our bottle blonde waitress shoot "fuck me" eyes at Timofey all night.

This restaurant is supposed to be fancy, for God's sake. Can't she keep it in her pants?

"And for you?" the waitress asks. She's talking to me, but her eyes are too busy pursuing Timofey to look in my direction.

I don't know why I'm here. Not just here, as in, in this moment, jealous over a waitress I don't know making eyes at a man I wish I didn't know.

But here as in here. At this restaurant. With Timofey.

I asked a million times on the car ride over, but he refused to say anything. I'm sure he has a reason, of course. He has a reason for everything. And I'm sure that reason is infuriating. It always is with him.
