me gently. I moaned as his tongue flicked across my lips, opening me to his assault. I melted in a heartbeat, forgetting everything except for Nikola.
Other than the pain from my gunshot wound, the only thing that stopped the kiss was the knock at the door. Nikola growled at the disruption and told the person to enter. Ivan hesitantly entered the bedroom, a soft smile on his face. I smiled back, hoping it reached my eyes.
“Boss, have you decided what we should do?”
I frowned at the question, immediately knowing what he meant. Nikola’s silver eyes met mine and he nodded. “Nothing for now. Is the doctor here?”
“Yes, I’ll send him in.”
Ivan left the room without looking back at me and I wondered if he knew I had something to do with Nikola’s change of heart. Part of me expected Nikola to throw his power around in a commanding way, but he didn’t. He was willing to listen. I liked that quality in him.
I glanced at the door, listening for footsteps. Before the doctor came in, I had one burning question to ask and I wasn’t sure exactly how to word it. Taking a deep breath, I forged ahead, hoping my question didn’t piss him off. “Nikola, are you...” I cleared my suddenly-dry throat. “Are you a mobster?” I couldn’t meet his gaze but I could feel his eyes upon me. I half expected him to avoid the question or change the subject, but he didn’t.
“I am,” Nikola said. “The details are not important to you. Just know I will never let another bring harm to you. I swear it! My word is my bond and you are mine to care for and protect from now on.”
A tear slipped down my cheek at the seriousness of his words. Did he truly mean it, though?
