Especially after seeing him in action.
God, who thought I’d ever be thankful that the head of the bratva kidnapped me?
When he has me dressed and it looks like he’s going to pick me up, I say, “I can walk. Will you bring the luggage?”
“Of course.” He quickly closes the bag, then takes hold of my left hand. Weaving his fingers through mine, he leads me out of the bedroom.
When we join the other members of the Priesthood downstairs, I glance at each of the men before my gaze settles on Nikolas Stathoulis.
He catches me staring at him and offers me a reassuring smile.
I have to summon all my courage to say, “Thank you for paying my debt.”
He shakes his head. “It was the least I could do for you.”
I inch closer to Viktor, and he gives my hand a squeeze.
A grateful smile forms on my face as I tell the group of men, “Thank you for coming to help me.”
They all smile at me.
God. I’m surrounded by so many powerful men it’s actually scary.
“Let’s get out of this city,” Luca says as he grabs one of my bags.
When we all bundle into the elevator, I’m practically glued to Viktor’s side. He lets go of my hand and places his arm around my shoulder, allowing me to press even closer.
“And so the last of us fall,” Gabriel mutters.
“I still win,” Viktor chuckles. “You all fell long before I did.”
I glance up at Viktor. “Fall?”
“For a woman,” he explains. “They’re all married already.”
Oh.
Ohhh.
Viktor fell for me.
Chapter 29
Viktor
When we walk into the house, Rosalie lets out a deep sigh of relief. She glances around as if she hasn’t seen the place for years.
Jesus, it’s good to see her in my space again.
“How does it feel to be home?” I ask.
The corner of her mouth lifts. “So,sogood. You have no idea.”
Her reply lets my chest swell with satisfaction.
I’ve become her home.
When we reach the top of the stairs, I turn left, and it has Rosalie asking, “Where are you taking my luggage?”
