Looking toward me, he waits for my number, and once I give it to him, he returns with a napkin for me.

“Keep it safe.” He smirks.

“I will.”

Maybe Konstantin will force me to end it before we see each other again. Maybe this is it.

The thought is like a punch to my gut.

Before I can change my mind, I grab the back of his neck and kiss him. His palms clutch my behind as he groans into my mouth. Teeth nipping, tongue sliding with mine, he sucks my bottom lip, making it harder for me to go.

“I can’t control myself around you.” He exhales roughly, touching his forehead to mine, palms clasping my hips.

Neither can I.

“You should go.” He holds me closer, while my arms circle his back.

“I know.” I let out a sigh. “Alright, well, I guess this is goodbye.”

“It’s goodbye for now, love.” His gaze turns molten, and goose bumps spread down my arms from the hungered way he takes me in. “I’ll be seeing you real soon.”

His lips skim up my throat, causing me to groan while my fingers slide into his hair. He takes my hand in his, kissing my knuckles as he gazes down at me, and I don’t think my heart can take much more.

“I’ll walk you out.” He pulls me toward the door, and the woman who led the group nods her goodbye.

When we slip out of the room, the music from the club surrounds us again.

“Are you gonna let me go now?” I hit him with a playful grin.

He laughs, squeezing my fingers. “Not until you’ve found your friends and are safe.”

And they say chivalry is dead.

Maybe he’d approve of my unconventional family. I’m not even giving him a chance. I’m sure I can convince Konstantin too. We can all be one happy family. I can see it now.

Yeah, good luck with that.

As we make it closer to the bar, I find both Natalia and Alisa there, chatting up two men.

“Hey, guys,” I call out, and that has them both turning in our direction.

“Oh my God, there you are!” Natalia peers between Cillian and me, her mouth curling. “Had fun?”

“Maybe.” I quirk a brow.

The two men they were talking to order drinks, standing behind them.

“Aren’t you going to introduce us?” Alisa asks, glancing at sexy dimple man.

“Alisa, Natalia, this is Cillian.”

“Hello there. Got any brothers?” Natalia smiles flirtatiously.

He chuckles, extending a hand to each of them. “Two, actually.”

“This is perfect!” Natalia flips her hands in the air. “One for me and one for Alisa.”

“She’s just kidding.” I expand my eyes at him.
