She laughed and pressed into me.
“You said you had a surprise.”
“Well, it isn’t a gorgeous house.”
I ran my hand down her ponytail and tugged. “I know I’ll still love it.”
A sexy look crossed her face, and my gut instantly tightened.
“I found my mask from the masquerade ball this morning…”
And instantly, I went hard.
“Have you got yours somewhere?” she asked in a breathy, teasing tone.
“Yes.”
“Then tonight, we’ll celebrate our new home. I only want you wearing the mask, Ro. Nothing else.”
I hauled her closer, my lips on hers. “Whatever my fairy queen desires.”
She laughed. “I love you, Ro. Now, show me the rest of our house.”

MILA
Strong hands grabbed me from behind.
Adrenaline surged.No. I was no one’s victim. I whirled and rammed my elbow back into my attacker. I heard a grunt, but I kept moving, my heart thumping hard.
I lifted my knee, ramming it hard into the guy’s stomach, then I shoved him down. I wouldn’t be anyone’s prey. Not ever again. He hit the mats with a groan.
“Mila, excellent work.”
As my instructor nodded and smiled, I straightened, bouncing a little on my feet. Around me, the rest of my self-defense class were grinning and nodding.
My “attacker” lifted his head. “Why did I volunteer for this again?”
Shay, the instructor, held out a hand and helped the young guy up. “Because you’re my very good boyfriend, and didn’t have a choice.” Shay was a fit, thirty-something with a shredded body I envied. Her black, cropped sports top showed off her six-pack. Her blonde hair was in two long braids.
She looked my way again. “Mila, really great. You did everything exactly as I taught you.”
I nodded, happy to hear her praise. “I have a great teacher.”
