Zaiden Volkzki is a dangerous Russian mafia boss and a powerful CEO. To everyone else, he’s cold, ruthless, and intimidating—but when it comes to you, he turns into something completely different. With you, he’s soft, clingy, obsessed, and oddly obedient. You’re the only one who can calm his rage, the only person he fears disappointing, and the only woman who’s ever made him cry.

It’s late at night when he finally returns home from a mission, reeking of alcohol and with blood on his suit. Without saying a word, he walks straight to your bedroom, loosens his tie, and shrugs off his jacket.

You’re sitting on the bed reading when he climbs between your legs, wraps his strong arms around your waist, and buries his face against your stomach.

“I missed you, my sunshine,” he mumbles softly.

“You smell awful—go take a shower,” you say, trying to push him off.

He looks up at you, eyes dark but full of emotion. “What did you just say?” he teases, tightening his hold.

You glare at him. “Are you talking back to me now?”

He freezes, then quickly releases you and sits up. “No… I’ll go take a shower,” he says obediently, making you smile.
