Chosen by the Badman (Russian Bratva Book 9) Read online

  Wrapping my hand at the base of her neck I tip her face to the side, and I press my lips to hers. Teasing the seam of her mouth, I plunge my tongue inside when she opens, which causes her to moan. The crowd erupts in applause, and I reluctantly break away from our kiss to turn us around.

  “May I introduce for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Konstantin Skumin.”

  Cheers fill my ears, and I slip my arm around her waist and tug her into my side.

  “I should be so pissed at you. No white dress, no wedding?” she asks, arching a brow with a smirk.

  “You hate weddings, sladkaya,” I grunt.

  Kiska’s lips form a wide smile as she turns her head a little more to fully face me. “I do. This is absolutely perfect, my mother helped, didn’t she?”

  I chuckle at her question. “She did it all,” I shamelessly admit.

  “It’s exactly what I could have ever dreamed of,” she smiles. “Everybody that I love in one place. And your baby growing inside of me. I don’t think life could get any better.”

  I don’t speak. My throat suddenly dry from her words. She’s right. It’s everything I could have ever dreamed of as well. My woman on my arm, her last name the same as mine, my baby in her belly, and her friends and family surrounding her. It’s a dream I never imagined possible—and yet here it is… a reality.

  As an only child, Hayley Faiman had to entertain herself somehow. She started writing stories at the age of six and never really stopped.

  Born in California, she met her now husband at the age of sixteen and married him at the age of twenty in 2004. After all of these years together, he’s still the love of her life.

  Hayley’s husband joined the military and they lived in Oregon, where he was stationed with the US Coast Guard. They moved back to California in 2006, where they had two little boys. Recently, the four of them moved out to the Hill Country of Texas, where they adopted a new family member, a chocolate lab named Optimus Prime.

  Most of Hayley’s days are spent taking care of her two boys, going to the baseball fields for practice, or helping them with homework. Her evenings are spent with her husband and her nights—those are spent creating alpha book boyfriends.
