Read Becoming Carter (The Carter Series) (Volume 2) for Free Online

entire day together here in his penthouse, until it was time to head out to Red Lobster. It was the perfect day, and we’d had the perfect dinner with our awesome friends.
    Then, the fucking limo exploded, Kelvin Senior acted like he hated me, and I learned that I was now in danger and needed to be protected from a Russian mob boss who wanted to kill my boyfriend, and didn’t care if I died in the process. That was quite the turnaround, and it was just too fucking much for me to handle.
    Things had been going so well for us that I’d forgotten that Kelvin was actually in the mob . The fucking mob! His entire family was also involved, and each of them conducted illegal activities in their respective clubs and casinos, although I wasn’t aware of exactly what activities they were involved in. Yet, here I was, sitting on the edge of his bed as if he was a regular guy. Was I crazy?
    Even without being affiliated with his mob family, Kelvin had never been a regular guy to me. He was strong, passionate, spontaneous, caring, and a fucking bad ass. He was every woman’s dream, and I had him. The way he treated me was nothing short of perfect, and I loved him more than I thought I’d ever love anyone. But, what about the danger? Was I supposed to accept the danger because I was in love with him? I didn’t know what I was supposed to do, and the confusion was so frustrating.
    I exhaled, just as Kelvin walked into the room. He was wearing red and white basketball shorts and a white Michael Jordan jersey. He smiled at me when he came in, then he walked over to where I was sitting, lowered himself onto his knees, and laid his head in my lap, wrapping his arms around my waist.
    “I love you, Baby,” he said quietly.
    See what I mean? Perfect.
    I placed my hands on the back of his neck and gently rubbed his smooth skin. How the hell could I even contemplate leaving this behind?
    “I love you ,” I replied.
    Kelvin lifted his head off of my legs and looked up at me. His dark brown eyes connected with mine and made my heart pick up speed. I ran my index finger over his perfectly trimmed beard, tracing the hair around his mouth. When my finger got close to his lip, he took my finger into his mouth and started sucking on it.
    “You’re about to start something serious, Baby,” I said with a smile.
    “Well,” he replied, removing my finger from his mouth, “that’s what happens when you put any of your sexy ass body parts near my mouth.”
    Kelvin unleashed his flawless smile on me as he rose from his knees and sat on the bed next to me. He leaned over and kissed me on the shoulder as he took my hand in his.
    “So, how are you feeling this morning?” he asked.
    I let out a loud sigh. “As long as you’re here, everything’s perfect. But, I can’t act like I’m not a little worried about this whole thing. Someone tried to blow us up last night. I don’t know how to react to that. I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel.”
    “You’re not supposed to feel any particular way. It’s fucked up, and I know you’re scared. I’m also not sure what we’re gonna do about it. I mean, The Family seems pretty convinced that it’s the Baskovs who did it, but we don’t know for sure, so it’s hard to try to figure out what to do next.”
    “See, that’s the other part that I’m worried about. Let’s just assume that it was the Baskovs. What will your family do to them? Would they try to kill them? Blow up one of their cars?”
    Kelvin put his head down and exhaled. I could tell that he didn’t want to say the real answer to the question. “I have to be honest with you’re here, Lilliana. If it was the Baskovs and we find that out for sure, it’s gonna be a serious problem. There’s no way in hell my family would let that kind of thing slide. My father would never allow it.”
    “Has your dad killed people, Kelvin?”
    Kelvin took a second to clear his throat. I knew the question was probably inappropriate, but I
