Call Her Filly – Jacqueline Mccall

He was on her, hand sliding around her throat. Reeking of cigarettes and that telltale smell she could never pinpoint, the one that clung to his skin like a shadow. Sweat mixed with something spicier, something nauseating. Lee would never forget the way it smelled mixed with the forest floor and gunpowder. Fingers tightening around her throat, he leaned in to her face so close his lips brushed against hers.

Without thinking, she struck, hand uselessly crashing into his ribs. Alyosha grunted, but he was too close for it to really hurt. “You’re mine,” he hissed, spit and teeth raking across her skin. She struggled against him, trying to gasp through his tightening fingers. Tears pearled on her lashes and in a desperate move, she kneed upward, right into his stomach.

He gasped, taking the hit but pressing her harder into the rail. It dug into her lower back, but Alyosha didn’t stop, he pressed until she was almost bent backward. Teetering, her balance only held by the hand on her throat. Grinning savagely, he made sure to press his erection against her hip. Lee would have gagged if she could breathe. “If I find you’ve let another man put his hands on you, I’ll make you bathe in his blood.” It was hard to see this close to her face.

Vision sparking in and out, Alyosha was all feral teeth and manic eyes. His stubble raked across her face. Fear spiking, she rode the flames of adrenalin, let the fire stoke in her chest until it sucked all the terror from her limbs, using it like oxygen to spark the kindling.

Curling her lips, she found his steel eyes. “Not if I bleed you first.” Alyosha paused, then he laughed. His fingers loosened around her throat, and she gasped, almost collapsing forward. Clinging to the railing, she felt his fingers pull at her hair, rubbing the strands between his thumb and forefinger. “There she is,” he announced fondly like he was proud of her.

Like he hadn’t just choked her to almost unconsciousness. “My Agrafina.” She might be known as Agrafina now, but she wouldn’t always be. Eventually he would have to call her something else—his death. The washing machine rumbled, teetering back and forth with loud clangs. Benjamin was grateful Lee didn’t appear to have any immediate neighbors.

It was loud and annoying. Nothing he did could keep the damn thing situated. He’d spent the better part of an hour rearranging the load, and even sitting on the damn thing. Figures that even Lee’s appliances would be hostile. Still, the thing did manage to clean the clothes so he supposed he could forgive it. Maybe he could get some ratchet straps or something.

1kitap1.com/en Chapter 1 Fifteen Years Ago Three brothers cried. Only two of them meant it. Alyosha cried at the funeral. His body shuddered with thick, racking sobs as he clutched the gaudy Orthodox cross hanging from his neck. The casket was lowered into the ground and fistfuls of dirt rained onto the lacquered surface. Three brothers laid their father to rest, heads bowed and arms around each other for support. It was up to them now.

They were all they had left. She watched as he embraced his brothers without hesitation. There wasn’t a trace of deception on his grief-stricken face. Not an inkling of what he was planning. Lee watched him as he clapped a hand on his middle brother’s shoulder and touched his forehead to his eldest brother’s. A paragon of sibling fealty. Would they be surprised to learn that their precious youngest brother had been planning their father’s death for months? That even as they dried their tears, blades were being pulled across throats.

Those loyal to his eldest brothers were being systematically eliminated to pave the way for a regime change. While Emphysema was eating away his father’s lungs, Alyosha Kuznetsov was planning for his death. His father may have fancied himself a benevolent king, willing to split his kingdom for his three sons—but Alyosha wasn’t willing to take just a piece.

He was born the youngest and he never learned to share. As his father took his last rattling breath, Alyosha began his coup. Lee watched as the cigarette flared to life. The bright tip illuminated Alyosha’s stark face. His manic eyes flicked to her and lingered for a moment. They were studying her—his entire body still. Like a hunter waiting for his prey to make a move. His motionless body belied the actions in his mind, the gears spinning while he contemplated his next move.

The thickset body and thuggish appearance were a façade. A clever ruse to hide the intelligence behind those wild eyes.
