Sinful Betrayal

The plan was simple;

Seduce Anton Koslov so my father could avenge the murder of my brother.

I should hate Anton for what he did to Maxim,

but the more time I spend with him,

the more I realize he’s not the monster my father makes him out to be.

Before long, I’ve fallen in love with him.

He has no idea who I really am or who my father is.

Our whole relationship is based on lies.

I need to tell Anton the truth.

And I’m about to…when I discover I’m pregnant.

To say I’m terrified is an understatement.

Especially when I learn exactly what my father has planned for Anton.

My father is determined to make sure my happily ever after is forever out of my reach,

but he underestimated just how far I’ll go to protect the man I love.

I’m not usually one to drown my sorrows with booze, but after today, I wanted nothing more than to kick back and have a few drinks. 

Having a live-in mother with early onset Alzheimer’s is difficult, not only because half the time she has no idea who I am, but because she requires round-the-clock care. It doesn’t leave me with much free time to just switch off and enjoy a drink by myself, let alone with a beautiful woman. 

I can’t help but resent the loss of my freedom. 

But today has been particularly tough. It’s the tenth-year anniversary of my father’s death. 

In some ways, it feels like barely a month has passed since I last spoke to my father. Even after all this time, I still can’t quite believe that he’s actually gone. 

It makes it even harder when my mother demands to know where he is. She screamed and yelled at me all day, demanding to talk with him on the phone. Nothing could calm her down, so I ended up having to give her a sedative. 

As soon as she was down for the night, I made a beeline for Espionage, the bar I own in the city. 

And not two minutes after I settle, an angel falls on my lap. 

Thank you, universe. 

“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry!” The stunning brunette clings to my shoulders. 

My hands go to her tiny waist to steady her, her small breasts pressed up against my chest as she flicks her dark bangs out of her eyes. 

She looks up at me under her dark lashes, her ocean-blue eyes regarding me with curiosity. 

Oh, zayka, you’ll make the perfect distraction.

“That’s quite all right.” My mouth goes dry as I try not to focus on the fact that her ass is rubbing up against my cock. “You are more than welcome to sit in my lap any time.” 

She laughs, the sound almost whimsical. 

“Honestly, I shouldn’t be allowed to wear heels, I’m so clumsy.” I catch a hint of an accent in her breathless voice, which only makes her sound sexier. 

“I definitely can’t complain.” I let my fingers casually caress the bare inch of skin between her skirt and sweater. 

She’s so soft and warm that I’m reluctant to let her go. 

She offers me a shy smile before getting to her feet and smoothing out her skirt, and I take that as my cue to finally take her in. She is gorgeous all over. 

“What’s your name?” 

“Nina.” 

“Nina.” 

Her throat bobs as I say her name. 

“I’m Anton Koslov.” I hold out my hand. 

She hesitates for a moment before taking it in hers. Her fingers are warm and delicate compared to my rough calloused hands. 

“Can I buy you a drink, Nina?” 

“I think it should be the other way around.” She blushes. 

I can’t help but laugh as I get to my feet and pull a chair out for her. 

As she moves to sit, her floral perfume floats around me, and I bite back a groan. 

I want nothing more than to pull her back into my lap and caress every inch of bare skin with my fingers. To have her perfect ass rub up against my hardening cock as I lick and suck at her neck. 

I’m like a fucking feral animal. 

I sink my nails into my palm just to give myself something other than Nina to focus on for a minute. 

How long has it been since I’ve taken a woman to my bed?
