Page 15 of Bound By the Yakuza

Himura-sama had forbid us from trying to extend our reach on Shimazu-kai territory until the heat from the police had worn off. The Yakuza was no stranger to the wave of raids that came with every new politician. Someone would pay him off and everything would go back to normal.

The instructions had been to lie low and defend. Everything that I was against. I was a solider, not a guard dog.

My mind wandered to Karina. She was so beautiful. I craved her warmth and her softness.

I hadn’t mentioned the Shimazu-kai who showed up at Karina’s door to anyone else. I hoped that we had sent a strong enough message to deter them from wanting to get any more territory. But I couldn’t be certain that I had done enough.

As soon as Kaoru and I finished for the night, I would make my way to the gang’s border and check in on her. Not that she seemed to need it. She had proved that last night.

It was undeniably sexy. A beautiful woman who trained in martial arts, who wouldn’t see the appeal in that? I wanted to know more about her. Why was this Russian woman hiding out in Tokyo? She was a mystery. One that I was determined to solve.

KARINA

“Sister, please come home.”

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. “No. You know I can’t.”

“Father is worrying himself sick. Half of his men have been searching for you. It’s only a matter of time before your hiding place gets found out.”

“My dear brother,” I said. I tightened my grip on my phone. “I can’t.”

“Why not?” Aleksey demanded.

Tatsuya. Why was he the first thing that came to mind? No, that was only for one night. Never again. My heart fluttered.

“I have my own business, Aleksey. My own money. My own life. My own freedom. No Bratva goons looming over my shoulder day and night,” I said after shoving away my girlish feelings.

My brother laughed. “Only because they don’t know where you’re hiding.”

I gritted my teeth. “I know,” I said after a moment. “I can’t leave yet. Let me see how this plays out.” I heard him sigh loudly on the other end. “Please.” I was a fraction away from begging at this point, but I knew that my brother wouldn’t let me down.

“Fine.” Aleksey said after a beat. “But you know I won’t be able to keep this secret forever. Father has been asking me every day. He knows how close we were.”

“How close we are,” I corrected. “Thank you. One day I will repay the favor.” My heart ached for my brother. I knew what a tight position I was putting him in. He was my dearest friend. I could only hope that our luck would hold out.

Aleksey let out a bitter laugh. “I truly hope you won’t have to, my dearest baby sister.”

“Why did you come back?” I groaned.

“Why did you let me back in?” Tatsuya grabbed a fistful of my hair and whispered against my neck.

Our bodies tangled together in the darkness. I rode him hard, grinding my hips into his. Wave after wave of pleasure hit me with nothing to calm me in between. I moaned as he pulled my hair and leaned in to kiss me.

“Because I wanted you,” I admitted.

Tatsuya sucked in a breath through his clenched teeth. “I want you too, Karina. What have you done to me? You’ve cast a spell or something.” His laugh was low and husky.

“I should ask you the same question.” I whispered. His hands roamed lower, and I lost track of what I was going to say next. I gasped as his thumb rolled my clit and shot pleasure through my body.

I threw myself back, riding fast and hard up and down the length of his throbbing cock.

Tatsuya clenched his teeth and grunted. “If you keep doing that, I’m going to cum inside of you.”

I leaned back with my hands on his knees and smiled when his eyes widened at the sight. “Do you like that?” I whispered.
