The Professional by Kresley Cole
4.5

“If you became mine, I wouldn’t let you go.” His words were clipped, as if he was biting back frenzy. “Understand me, if I’m your first lover—I will be your last.” The ringing tone of finality chilled me. “And I would kill any man who thought to touch what was mine.”

With his accent thick, he bit out one word: “Obsessed.”
Imagining it was the word foremost in his thoughts, I replied with the one foremost in mine: “Revelation.”
She's his obsession and he's her revelation.

He regarded me like I was a trapped thing, already his to enjoy.

“You’re a smart girl. You’re going to replay everything we’ve done, and you’re going to reach the same conclusion I have.”
“And wh-what conclusion is that?”
“Eto ne izbezhno dlya nas.” You and I are inevitable.
I thought the same exact thing lol

He wrapped my hair around his fist, forcing me to look at him. Between breaths, he said, “Ty moya.” You are mine.

What submissive wouldn’t want a man like Sevastyan to dominate her?
A man so dark and dangerous. So compelling and powerful.
And he was mine.

He expected me to do all the adjusting—while he stubbornly remained the same.
I'm glad she wised up about this and had Jess giving her the truth she needed. He may have had his reasons for withholding so much about himself from her but how can he expect her to love a stranger?

Between kisses, he rasped against my damp skin, “Ya lyublyu tebya.” I love you.
With all my heart, I told him, “Ya lyublyu tebya, Aleks.”


This was really good! I only wished there was a stronger plot outside of their relationship. Like a little more action in the mafia world.
