Viktor watched her try again and again before finally nailing the steps in a way that made the overly dramatic director squeal with excitement.
“Yes, yes! This is beautiful!” he told her. “ Magnifique ! All three of you!”
The young women exchanged a nod and a glance, and Viktor realized that the camaraderie was not unlike what he often felt with his fellow mafia brothers. They were all in this together. And sometimes the bond created in those moments was as powerful as any friendship.
KIRA FELT VIKTOR’S gaze on her during the practice. It was strangely erotic. She remembered what it felt like to have his hands touching her body. He had awakened nerves she had never known she possessed and a hunger for fulfillment with a ravenous appetite.
“Who is that?” Tiana whispered. “That man? The one that looks like he could split a tree in two with one glare.”
“Split a tree?” Jessie rolled her eyes. “God, you’re dramatic!”
Tiana made a slight gesture toward Viktor. “Well, look at him! With that angular face and those dark eyes. He looks like a freaking mobster or something. Can’t you imagine him with a bunch of men at his back doing mob stuff?”
Kira had to stifle a laugh. “Mob stuff? Do tell. What exactly is it you believe that to be?”
“I don’t know,” Tiana hedged. “Like illegal gambling dens, and putting people’s feet in cement and then dumping them in the harbor because they owe you money?”
“You know what’s really stupid about killing someone who owes you money?” Jessie asked in a teasing voice as she unfastened her leg warmers and rolled them down her calves. “If they’re dead, you’re never going to get your cash.”
“You’re just saying that because Tiana owes you thirty bucks from last week,” Kira said with a laugh. She stretched her legs and then began removing her toe shoes.
“Well, there is that ,” Jessie admitted. “So come on, Tiana. Give me my money before I make you swim with the fishes!”
“Girlfriend, you watch way too much TV,” Tiana pouted. “Although, if that guy wanted to come over here, I’d be willing to compensate him thirty bucks a thousand times over.”
Kira loved the camaraderie of the stage. She loved having real friends for the first time. And even though they were also rivals when it came to winning roles, the ballet company was fair for the most part, and it left the dancers to be more of a family than competitors.
“Kira, don’t you think he’s hot?” Tiana pressed. “Even though you’re an old married woman, of course.”
Kira was enjoying this immensely. She was never the one with a leg up in these situations. Not when it came to men. Tiana was the brave one.
Now she winked at her friend. “I know him, actually. Would you like me to introduce you?”
“Seriously?” Tiana’s mouth popped open. “You know that guy?”
Jessie grinned. “Whoohoo! Looks like Kira just pulled one over on you, Tiana. How about that?”
Kira already knew Viktor was watching. She could feel his gaze like a physical caress. It gave her a sensation of safety she had never experienced before. Now she turned and gave him a tiny wave and a smile. He stood up and began walking toward the side of the stage where she and the other dancers were stretching and getting ready to wrap up practice.
“Hey,” she said softly as she took his hand in hers.
If he was surprised by the contact, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he cupped her cheek and kissed her forehead. She felt warm and fuzzy inside.
“Are you ready to go?” he asked. “I thought we could stop for a bite on our way home.”
Meanwhile, Tiana and Jessie were both staring in open fascination.
Finally, Tiana nudged Kira’s arm. “Excuse me. You said you knew him. I’m thinking there’s more to the story?”
Kira grinned. “This is my husband, Viktor.”
“Whoa.” Tiana breathed. “Okay. So you do exist!”
