“I’ll order you some dessert,” Tom offers, and it takes all of my energy to nod and smile.

This night is exhausting, and I doubt my mother will let it end until Tom is down on one knee.

I hastily make my way into the restrooms and sigh when I discover that they’re individual rooms with a vanity table and a separate cubicle. At least I can have some peace and quiet, even if it’s only for a few minutes.

As I step into the restroom, hands land on my waist and a warm, hard body presses up against me. Before I have a chance to scream, I’m being spun around and backed against the door by Danil.

“Are you trying to make me jealous?” he practically growls as he reaches around me to lock the door.

My breath catches in my throat as I stare up at him.

I’m really not, but god, jealousy suits him.

“Is it working?” My voice comes out a little breathless.

Danil’s eyes darken, and a shiver runs down my spine as his eyes flick to my chest.

My dress is perhaps a little low cut for a family dinner, but I chose it because I thought it would drive Danil crazy all night. And from the hunger in his eyes as he stares down at my breasts, it’s doing its job very well.

“He’s been staring at your breasts all fucking night.”

“Oh?”

Danil’s hands roam up my waist until he’s cupping my breasts, and I swallow a moan as his thumbs circle my nipples.

“You seem to be enjoying the attention.” He leans in and takes my earlobe between his teeth.

A rush of pleasure surges through my body, and I arch into his touch.

My eyes flutter closed as he bites down at the same time that he pinches my nipples.

I never realized how sensitive my body could be, but the slightest touch from Danil has me growing slick between my thighs, and the constant ache between them is insatiable.

“Do I need to remind you who you belong to?” He steps between my thighs and presses his hardness against me.

This possessive side of Danil is something I’ve not seen before, but I’m liking it a lot.

I sink my fingers into his shirt. “Yes.”

“Then I suggest you turn around and bend over.”

DANIL

WatchingEmily fawn over some random guy all evening has been driving me insane.

Well, she wasn’texactlyfawning, but her mother sure was, and that irritated me just as much.

I liked to think of myself as Charlotte’s second favorite Koslov, after Dimitri, of course, which will work in my favor when Emily and I eventually tell her about our newfound romance.

But when I stopped by the penthouse this morning to drop off some papers for Dimitri, Zara politely informed me that the family dinner was doubling as a set-up for Emily. I was so angry that I almost put my fist through the kitchen wall.

When I questioned her about it, apparently Dimitri was well aware of the situation when he told me to join them, which only makes this worse.

I’m starting to believe that my brother invited me along on purpose, not to provide extra protection, but to punish me for sneaking around with Emily.

But until that’s confirmed, I’m going to spend the rest of the dinner making sure that this fucker never looks at my girl again.
