Zion Morozov
Irritation coursed through me.
I woke up in a shitty mood, after yesterday's incident with Kaia I just cared for nothing work related.
"Hello? Are you listening to me?" The girl asked and I rubbed my temples.
"No. I'm not." I answered.
She scoffed and I stood, taking my scotch and going up to my office.
I responded to some emails, but just didn't want to do anything else.
Maybe tomorrow.
Kaia came through the doors of the elevator with a grin on her face, her curls fresh and beautiful.
She set down a daisy on my desk.
"What's this for?" I asked.
"I don't know. I saw it when Alec was driving me and made him pull over." She told me and I smiled.
"Well thank you."
"Can I get water for it? I don't want it to die right now." She smiled widely and I laughed.
"Okay." I said and she turned on her heel.
"Not by yourself." I stood and went to the elevator with her.
"Tonights jackass night. I hate everyone here." I said and she laughed.
"Well alright then."
"I assume you slept well?" I asked and she nodded.
I placed my hand on the small of her back, walking with her to the bar.
She ordered a room temperature glass of water and peach margarita.
"Seriously? You hoe around?" The girl who I guess was speaking to me earlier asked.
Kaia looked over and analyzed the girl.
"Is she talking to you?"
"Mmhm."
She laughed.
"What's so funny bitch?" She asked.
"The fact you can kiss someone from three feet away is, those lips look... recyclable." Kaia grabbed the glass in one hand, the margarita in the other.
"Go ahead to my office, printsessa." I said and she did.
When she was safely in the elevator, I turned around.
"I assume you know who I am, darling?" I smiled.
"Duh."
I walked toward her, only about a foot away.
"Yeah, well you call her a bitch one more time, I'll skin you alive." I smiled, grabbing a piece of her blonde hair, twirling it around my finger.
"Alright?" I grinned, tilting my head, she looked half terrified, half insulted.
"Don't fucking touch my hair." She pushed my hand from her and stood, leaving.
"Nice." Alec laughed from behind me.
"Ask Kaia what she wants for dinner and if it's not from here, DoorDash it." I said and he nodded.

The doors opened and Kaia was sitting in my chair with her feet resting on my desk.
She was gorgeous behind a desk. I then wondered how she'd look bent over it.
I was salivating at the thought.
"You're dinner." I placed the bag down and she smiled so wide.
It was Vietnamese food. She ordered rare beef pho and edamame.
"Thank you!" She gasped, immediately opening the bag.
I sat in the seats across from my desk and watched as she put the noodles in the hot broth, adding an assortment of veggies that came with it.
She ate peacefully as my phone rang.
"Hm?" I asked.
-In Russian-
"Someone is here asking for you, I think he works through your shipments."
"ID him please."
I hung up.
-English-
"Open that drawer and hand me that gun please?" I asked and she did.
"Why?" She asked.
"Say nothing, just eat." I ignored her question as the elevator doors opened.
"Mr. Morozov!" He laughed, shaking my hand too harsh for my liking.
"What?" I asked.
"If we're getting straight to it... a crate was stolen. It was the one that had half coke, half oxy." He said and I hummed.
"Is there any... good news or are you always this chipper?" I asked.
"We caught the men. They sold a lot of what was yours, especially to minors but I have them in the back of my U-Haul truck outside." He smiled.
I hummed.
Then I turned.
"You heard all that?" I asked Kaia.
"Yes."
"Alright, what do you think should be done?" I smiled.
She froze.
"Give is a minute? I'll meet you downstairs." I asked him.
"Yes sir." He turned and left.
"They sold drugs to kids. And they stole from me. Now there are 2 choices here, 1, I have Alec do a quick background check then you pick, or 2 you choose here and now."
"Background check."

IS A BIT DARK HERE TW:
"Both the men work underground, one was a sex trafficker, one in jail for 5 years for raping his 3 year old sister when he was 20." I said and her mouth was wide open.
"So what's gonna happen to them?" I asked.
She seemed to be thinking hard about it.
"They shouldn't be here." She mumbled.
"Meaning?"
"Hurt them."
"Mmhm, but what're you telling me to do?" I smiled.
"K-kill them." She coward, her confident frame shrinking.
"Why?"
"Incase it happens to anyone else?" She basically asked and I smiled.
"That's my good girl. I'll let him know." I turned on my heel and got his number on my work phone, sending Alec and Zak with him to the warehouse.
When I made it back upstairs her spirits were obviously low.
I pulled the chair to sit beside her as I pulled her chair to face me, my hands on the sides of her thighs.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"Guilt." She replied.
"Yeah? I know. It's really hard. But the guilt of two saves the trauma of many more." I pushed some of her hair behind her ear, the fingertips of my other hand gently running up and down the side of her thigh.
"I know." She whispered.
I just wanted to crush her against the wall till she couldn't breathe.
I'm not sure where that desire comes from but I feel violently obsessive over her right now.
"You do understand you're gonna be there for their deaths right?" I asked.
She nodded, her eyes down at her lap.
I grabbed her hands with the one not on her thigh, keeping her from picking at her cuticles.
"Kaia." I said and she looked at me.
"This guilt isn't gonna do anything. It's not gonna save anyone." I whispered.
"I know." She loosened her hands under mine, her left hand grabbing two of my fingers, her right, my other two as she looked down at them.
"Then don't let yourself suffer for something that's inevitable. I know it's easier said than done but don't let this eat you up. Alright?"
"When I see it, can I stay with you again?" She asked.
My stomach flipped, joy and satisfaction filling me.
"Whatever you need. I'm very proud of you." I said and she gave me a soft smile.
My cocky ass was struggling right now.
She just held my hand, silently sitting with me.
I wondered how she tasted. Lust coated my lower body, a lot going on in my heart and stomach right now.
I didn't think I'd enjoy ruining her sanity so much.
But I fucking loved it. I'd make my printsessa as crazy as me.
