Dmitri Ivanovich Volkov.
He is known as The Russian.
He is a werewolf.
During his lifetime of over 500 years, he has served in the military of many countries, and worked as a mercenary. He currently works for Interpol’s special division, alongside Damiano, Dante, and the rest of the gang.
But after losing his soul-mate two hundred years ago, he has avoided any serious relationships. Until now.
How could this tiny blond with hazel eyes turn his world upside down?
Watch for The Russian, coming soon from Speranza and Gambler’s Folly!
The next morning he met Dam, Marco, Paulo, and several of the others at the Interpol offices.
Damiano had been “picked up for questioning” earlier in the morning, to keep his cover intact.
As they waited in the break room for the chief to call them back, Dmitri told the others about
meeting his mystery woman the night before.
“I swear to you, I can’t get her scent out of my mind,” he stated as the others laughed in
amusement.
“I had to send my clothes to the cleaners last night.”
“Ah, well,” Marco said. “At least it will be a trip to remember.”
“Definitely,” Dmitri agreed. Sniffing the air, his eyes narrowed as he caught an all too familiar
scent.
“Lilacs and vanilla. She is here. My Danni is here.”
Spinning around, he charged out of the break room toward the accounting department.
Coming through the door, with an armload of files, was Danielle Peters, one of their accountants.
“Danni!” they all heard.
With a quick snap, her head turned toward the crazy Russian, and file folders cascaded to the
floor as she rushed to meet him.
“Dmitri! Why are you here?” she asked, with her arms tightly around him.
“Why are you here? I work for the agency.”
“So do I–in accounts.”
The next thing he knew, he was drawn into a kiss more passionate than the one the night before.
“Dima,” he heard. Intoxicated by the scent and taste of this sweet little female, he turned to stare
into Damiano’s eyes. “I see you’ve met our Danni.”
With a growl, Dmitri answered, “She is not your Danni. She is mine.”
“I am not a threat, my friend. I’m already mated. What I mean is, she is the Danni who works here
in the office with us.”
“I had no idea,” Dmitri answered.
Danni clung to him as if her life depended on it. Looking down into hazel-green eyes, he once again traced her face with his finger before his thumb
caressed her bottom lip. Once more, he leaned down to kiss those pouting lips
and taste the sweetness that was Danni.
“Dmitri Ivanovich! Leave the staff alone and get your shaggy wolf ass in here!”
The chief was irritated.
The growl caught everyone by surprise and shocked the entire office into silence. It was the
sound of an irritated dire-wolf.
“I have arrangements to make. I’ll be there when I’ve finished.”
“Dima! What the hell has gotten into you?” the chief asked.
The growl was louder this time and more menacing. Turning back toward Danni, Dmitri said,
“We need to talk later. But right now, I have an old bear to deal with. I’ll come for you after work.”
Holding her closely, he kissed her again, reveling in the passion she returned. Retreating gently,
he looked into her haunted eyes.
“Mishka,” she said, about a second before she fainted.
