Czar's POV

Flashback - Seven Years Ago

"Czar, you can't tell anyone," Annika sobbed.

"Who's the father?" I asked, eyes narrowing.

She sat on the edge of the bed, clutching her stomach. This was the last thing I ever expected to hear from my twin sister. Pregnant? With a secret she didn't want to share?

"I can't say," she cried, shaking her head.

"Annika—"

"Please, Czar. I need to get this child out of here. I don't want anyone to know about it."

I stared at her. If our father found out, he'd kill her. No hesitation.

"And what do you expect me to do?" I asked.

She wiped her tears, gathering what little composure she could. "To help me."

I sat beside her, silent for a beat. Then I exhaled sharply. "How far along are you?"

"Only two months."

"Okay. When you start to show, I'll take you to a safe house. We'll tell everyone you're studying abroad in France. But Annika, no one, and I mean no one, can find out I helped you."

"They never will," she whispered, and I believed her.

"You may never see this child again. You know that, right?"

She nodded slowly. "I'll do anything to protect them. Even if it means they won't be in my life."

End of flashback

"Czar?"

Zariah's voice pulled me from the memory.

"Did you hear me?" she asked.

I blinked and looked down at her. "Sorry, what did you say?"

"I said you looked like you were thinking hard about something."

I looked toward the Ferris wheel. Kids screamed with laughter, and the sea breeze tugged at our clothes.

"I was. About Annika and her child."

Zariah's face shifted, but I couldn't read it. She turned away and kept walking.

"Oh," she said.

"I'm going to have to talk to her."

"What? Why?"

"Because she deserves to know her daughter might be in danger."

"But she killed your mother," she said, quiet but pointed.

I stopped and looked at her. "I know."

She paused too. "Sorry. That was rude."

"She's still my sister, and it's still her child. I can't take the girl away from the only family she's ever known without telling Annika first."

"You're going to take her away?"

"I have to. Liam knows about her. It's only a matter of time before he finds out where she is."

Zariah said nothing. She just walked beside me, lost in thought. I couldn't read her, not like I wanted to. She was guarded. Sharp around the edges. Mysterious.

But I knew one thing, I wanted her. All of her. And I couldn't hold back anymore.

"Come with me," I said, grabbing her hand.

"Where are we going?"

"Shhh. Just follow me."

I led her toward the restrooms beneath the pier. I didn't care if it was reckless. I didn't care if it was wrong. I wanted her.

Needed her.

As soon as we slipped inside and locked the door, I turned to her.

"Czar?"

"Don't talk," I growled.

She tore her clothes off without hesitation. I did the same. My blood surged. My head spun. She was breathtaking, messy curls, flushed cheeks, eyes hungry.

We crashed into each other like waves.

Our lips met, rough, needy. Her hands tangled in my hair, yanking hard enough to make me groan. I gripped her ass, lifting her up and pinning her to the wall.

She was soaked.

"Are you a—"

"No. It's just... been a while."

I nodded and kissed her harder.

I pressed inside her slowly, every inch of her hot and tight around me. My whole body tensed.

"Fuck," I muttered against her neck.

She arched into me, gasping. "Go fast. We don't have much time."

"You got it."

I grabbed her hips, thrusting deep and fast. Her mouth fell open in a silent cry. She clenched around me, nails dragging down my back. I covered her mouth with mine, swallowing her moans as I kept pounding into her.

Her legs locked around my waist, thighs trembling.

"Come for me," I whispered, breathless.

She did, with a muffled scream into my shoulder. I followed right after, groaning her name as I emptied inside her.

We stood there, breathing hard, chests pressed tight. I kissed her forehead.

"That was—"

"Insane," she finished.

I chuckled.

"Now clean up," I said, tucking myself back into my pants. "We've got business to handle."

But in that moment, nothing mattered more than the girl I just risked everything for.
