Lisa paused, hands on Sevastyan’s ribs, staring at the bullet wound. “I’m trying to decide if I’m as brave as Rei.”
Sevastyan kept himself still.
Lisa took a shuddering breath. “If you’re really going to take them down, I’ll. . . I’ll be your slave. I’ll help you, from the inside.”
Sevastyan, Rei, and Lisa are injured and their base compromised. Ellisandre is the only one left standing. And more attackers could come at any moment.
Sevastyan is done with waiting and playing things softly. Stripping off the gloves will come with a price. But they touched Rei. No one is allowed to touch Rei. But can Ellisandre keep Sevastyan’s soul together as he pays the price?
Meanwhile, Lisa is making choices, ones that could mean salvation but also darkness. And Rei is wrapped in it all, holding together the fragile tendrils of their collective battered hearts.
The pieces are now being laid on the chess board between Sevastyan and the Merchari. The question remains, who is actually calling the plays? Is it Sevastyan? Ellisandre? Or Rei? And will they be set in place fast enough to save themselves and the ones the Merchari are hunting?
This serial is a dark, contemporary MXM+ romance with strong chosen family themes. Intended for mature audiences. If you like your romance dark and explicit, then this story is for you.
