Craving Him, My Step-Brother Chapter 33
IVANA'S POV As the train drew closer to the address Aria had given me, my heart slammed in my ribcage.What if she was in danger?Would I be able to save her?My heart raced with different thoughts as the grip on my phone tightened.If I was able to save Aria, Ruslan's punishment would mean nothing.Even if he confines me to my room, I wouldn't mind, after all, I was able to save my best friend.Moments later, the train pulled to a stop at another subway and I alighted, scrolling through my contact for Aria’s number.I put a call across her and after the third ring, she picked up.“Aria, where are you? I can't seem to find the place.” After I left the subway, I stopped at the junction leading to three silent alleyways.Chills coursed through my body and my legs wobbled in fear under me.“I'm in the first alleyway,” she paused and continued. “Ivana, go back, don't come.” Her voice was resolute, but I could make out the fear in them.She was scared to the bones, so how then would I le

RUSLAN'S POV This meeting was bound to happen. I knew for sure and I just couldn't wait to see the angry look on Lorenzo’s scarred face.He touched my family and I touched his clan. It was bound to happen at some point.“Where are we heading to, Bratva?” The driver asked, dragging my attention towards him.“The devil priesthood.” I replied point-blank, returning my gaze to my phone.I have been busy lately that I barely return to the clan.With one of my strongest men in the clan, I had nothing to worry about.The driver started the car and drove off with Nicko at the owner's corner alongside the driver.Moments later, it came to an halt in front of a gigantic mansion with ‘Devil Priesthood’ boldly written at the top of the building.I alighted from the car and so did Nicko, but he didn't go in with me. He had no reason to.I entered into the building and took the elevator to the highest floor where the meeting was taken place.Standing by the door which led to the meeting, I was hea

IVANA'S POV As Felix led us to the car, he made sure we settled in before going out to make a call. I knew for sure that he was telling Ruslan in about the situation. I wanted to be brave and prove that it wasn't much of a big deal, but one thing was for sure; Ruslan was going to show me how much of a big deal this was. He was going to punish me. Certainly, but either way, I didn't regret saving Aria. If I was a second late, they would have raped her because of me. They were after me but she turned out to be the bait. “Everything would be fine, Aria. You can stay over at our place for some days.” I placed my hands over hers, a warm reassuring smile curling up on my lips. “Are you sure? Will your step-brother accept that?” Aria asked, worry etched on her face. I wasn't sure myself, but if I have to beg, I would do that. Certainly. I wasn't that much of a heartless person to let her return home in such state. Tattered and battered. “What about your parents? Won't th

IVANA'S POV As I made my way to Ruslan's home office, all eyes were on me, but no one dared to stop Ruslan. Despite the pity glances they all sent my way, not even Igor, the retired Bratva could save my ass this time. Pushing the door open, I stepped inside with him behind me. I stood by the door, but just a small push from him sent me rushing to the middle of the home office and the door slammed shut behind me. My heart hammered in my chest as I darted out my tongue and swiped it over my dry lips. Shit! Ive gotten my ass into trouble and now? There was no escape for me or whatsoever. With my head hung low, I focused my gaze on the floor, making it seem like the most interesting thing ever, whereas that wasn't the case. I was damn scared to look at my step-brother straight in the eyes. With my ears standing at alert, I could hear his footsteps drawing closer from behind and I could feel his gaze boring holes into my back. “Sunshine, you disregarded me, disrespected

IVANA'S POV Our tongues fought for dominance inside each others mouth and Ruslan wanted to assert his dominance even in the kiss.He wanted to make it known to me that he was in control of everything and anything.My fisted hold around his shirt tightened while he shoved his fingers deep inside my hair, earning a moan from me.Jesus….fuck!I think I was enjoying this kiss a little more than I should.I mean, Ruslan is my step-brother. Even though we weren't related by blood, we were related by marriage.My Mom fucking married his Dad. Legally for Christ sake.But still, that revelation wasn't enough to bring me back to my senses, infact, it only ignited more want and desires which I never knew was buried in the darkest pit of my stomach.“Fuck…. Christ… Sunshine.” Ruslan growled, his hands leaving my hair, slipping down my lower back and then my ass cheeks.He fondled with them, pressing like a soft loaf of bread and I couldn't help but moan.I've never had such intense kiss before,

RUSLAN’S POV Did I just kiss my step-sister? Yes.Was I in the right state of mind? No, I certainly wasn't.Hell, she is ten years younger than me, yet, I almost bend her over my office desk and fuck her to oblivion.Ivana Alex is my step-sister, even if we weren't related by blood, but that didn't stop me from cupping her soft boobs, fondling with her ass cheeks, kissing and fisting on her lips like a goddamn feast.I hate that I couldn't control myself after I heard from Felix that she almost got raped.My sense of reasoning was left at the Devil priesthood, because I was sure as fuck it didn't follow me back to the Clan.If it had, I wouldn't have pushed my step-sister to the wall and kissed her like she was my next breath and without her, I won't survive.“Fuck you Ruslan. Fuck you!” I slammed my laptop shut and raked my hand into my already disheveled hair.Dealing with other preys wasn't that hard to assert my dominance on them, but when it came to a certain person, it seemed h

IVANA'S POV After dinner, I joined Aria in my room. She was fast asleep, so I quietly layed on the bed beside her, trying not to make a sound. I guess she is a light sleeper because she stirred awake as soon as I layed on the bed beside, despite I didn't make a sound. “You're back. I fell asleep and lost track of time.” She said, her voice deep and sleepy. “You haven't eaten, have you?” I asked, sitting upright. “Come, let's go get you dinner and have a small pool party since it's summer.” I suggested and a bright smile curled it way on her face as she sat upright too, all sleepiness vanishing from her features. “That's a good idea, I love it.” …… It was 8pm at night and we both sneaked out of the mansion to the pool, without making a sound. If anyone had caught us in the act, we would be mistaken for thieves or whatsoever. Successfully reaching the pool with our swimming trunks in our hands and a bag of goodies containing wine and glasses and other snacks. Aria c

IVANA'S POV Stepping into the college arena with Aria beside me, a smile curled up on my lips.Closing my eyes, I inhaled softly, letting the soft breeze slam against my flushed cheeks.“What are you doing, Ivana? Students are watching.” Aria tapped my shoulder as she whisper-yelled at me, her eyes shut in embarrassment.I wasn't a bit embarrassed because it has been two fucking weeks since I last came to college, and it was all because of my step-brother.It felt good to be a free bird after a long time of being confined in one place.“Let them watch for all I bloody care, Aria.” I said, my eyes still tightly shut. “Do you know how it feels to be a free bird once again? God! It feels so fucking good.”This time, Aria didn't whisper-yell at me, instead, a laugh rumbled out her chest, blaring into my ears. “You're funny, Ivana. Why are you behaving like you've not stepped out for a year?”Peeling my eyes open, I turned sharply towards Aria who flinched a little as she had not expected

Ruslan’s POVJust when I wanted to disappear into the hallway, the sound of hurried footsteps made me turn around only to see Ivory running down the stairs with Igor and Lara. Raising my brow, I demanded an explanation without having to use my words.“What did I just hear?" Ivory asked, hurrying to my side, her face drained of all its colors and had been replaced with fright. Pressing my lips to a thin line, I facepalmed myself in anger. This was supposed to be a secret. They must have overhead me when I was speaking to Nicko.“Ivana had been kidnapped.” I forced the words through my teeth, my hands balled into my fist in anger. “What did you just say?” She gasped, her chest rising and falling in rhythm. Pushing my hand forward, I wanted to confront her but I had no idea how to go about that so I withdrew my hands.“Ivana has been kidnapped.” I repeated my earlier words. This time slower as I rubbed my temples.My head had begun to ache seeing Ivory all flustered. “How the fuck

Ruslan’s POVThe silence in my office was suffocating.Since last night, I haven't stepped out and no one has come in since Ivana left. At the moment, I was sitting behind my desk, pen in hand and papers in front of me but I couldn’t focus. My mind kept drifting back to Ivana.My guts keep telling me something doesn’t sit right. It wasn't about the fallout we had yesterday, this was different. Last night, I didn't intend to react that way but she was refusing to get the message I desperately wanted to pass on. A lot of things were going through my mind; the Irish clan silence and then Lorenzo’s chilling words. All I wanted was a little time for myself to wrap my head about what was bothering me but she wasn't having it. Falling back on my seat, I shut my eyes tightly as I began to swirl my chair around, trying to forget about her but it was to know avail. Leaning forward with my hands clasped in front of me, I shifted my gaze to my laptop. I had been watching the footage for a w

Ivana’s POVAfter leaving Ruslan's office, I made my way to my room, slamming the door shut and falling on my bed face first.Recalling the way Ruslan had spoken to me made tears roll down my cheeks in torrents and soon I was sobbing but the sound was muffled by the pillow I had buried my head in. “Honey, it's time for dinner." Mother said softly from the hallway. “I had a late lunch, I'm full.” I managed to say without giving out my real emotion. "Alright dear, have a good night's rest.” She replied cheerfully and this was followed by the sound of her departing footsteps.The moment I couldn't hear the sound again, I lay on my back, staring at the ceiling.I didn’t go down for dinner not because I wasn’t hungry. The truth was, I was starving—but because the lump in my throat was bigger than my appetite. The moment Ruslan shouted at me and slammed his hand on the desk, something inside of me shattered. He had never been that furious with me to the best of my knowledge. This was t

IVANA’S POVI owe mom for bringing the idea of a picnic and Lara for pushing forward with it. All the while I thought the picnic was going to be boring but it turned out to be so much fun. My sexcapades with Ruslan were wild, intense and unforgettable. The memory was going to live with me for the rest of my life. Each time I thought of it, I found myself smiling but I was quick to wipe the smile off so I wouldn't be asked why.Instead of joining the rest for hiking, I stayed back at the tent claiming to be in pains so I was left alone with Ruslan who declared his disinterest even before he was asked That cool evening, Ruslan did not only make love to me. He claimed me over and over again and I let him. That night even when they returned, he took me like he owned me, pressing me against the tent wall, with one hand covering my mouth to muffle the sounds that threatened to give us away.It was brutal but passionate, a punishment I welcomed wholeheartedly. Each of his thrust hit

RUSLAN'S POVThe Irish clan was still quiet despite the fact that words had gone round that I had tightened the security of my perimeter. In our world, silence wasn’t peace, it was a prelude to war. And when men like the Irish clan stopped barking, it meant they were getting ready for war. The thought of it made my skin crawl. They might have gone to re-enforce their attacks which were going to be fatal.Still, I kept my composure. To others, nothing was wrong since I went about my duties, my dealings, my responsibilities like I always did without a hitch but underneath, I was on edge. I was watching, listening and waiting for the Irish clan to attack. I wasn't going to relax and watch them swoon in on me when I least expect it.Swirling around in the swivel chair in my home office, my eyes were shut as I hummed a familiar rhyme. I was doing this to pass time.There was a meeting at the Devil's Priesthood which was scheduled for noon. I had an hour left so I decided to spend it m

IVANA'S POVSaturday arrived faster than expected and since I had convinced Ruslan to join us for the picnic, he hadn't raised any objections.From the top of the staircase, I watched as mom and Lara went all over the place putting finishing touches to all we needed for the picnic since dawn.They packed and unpacked bags just to make sure everything was intact. They double checked the supplies they had ordered the previous day, tossing in more snacks than we would ever need. Mom and Lara were both excited like kids who were going on a field trip. If asked my opinion about all this fuss, I would have gladly traded the picnic for a quiet evening indoors but I couldn't.For the sake of mom and Lara, I had to act like I was interested but that was far from the truth. Ruslan felt the same way I did.He had only agreed to go on the picnic, not because of my promise but because I was going to keep bothering him until he gave in. On the other hand was poor Igor who looked like he had sig

IVANA'S POVFinally, it was breakfast time.Last night, I skipped dinner for reasons best known to me and this morning, I woke up feeling hollow.My stomach was empty and my worms which were restless were not helping matters. At the dining table, I was the first to arrive with Lara, followed by mother and Igor and then Ruslan who had his brows arched.Biting the side of my lips, I allowed my eyes to linger on him for a while before taking it off so no one would notice.But Lara did. Nudging my leg from under the table, she leaned in, “Why are you staring at Ruslan like you want to gobble him up?” She asked and immediately my heart stopped beating. Grabbing the edge of the table, I tried to keep still but Lara’s gaze on me was making me feel uncomfortable. It seems she already knew the illicit relationship between me and Ruslan. "Why bother yourself about someone who doesn't care even if the whole world is worried about him?” Lara said aloud, stabbing her pancake with her knife."
Craving Him, My Step-Brother Chapter 68
RUSLAN’S POVThe silence was strange and unsettling.The Irish mafia clan had gone completely quiet. Too quiet that it seems like they were non-existent. For a month now, there had been no threats, no ambushes, no anonymous calls or strange deliveries.Nothing made my blood boil with anger and I hated it.I wanted action. A war breakout that would send bullets flying between both parties was all I yearned for, rather than sitting around and doing nothing.Holding my glass of whiskey against my lips, my gaze was out of the window as I wondered what they were plotting. Their silence was so deafening and it could only mean one thing.“Something’s off.” I muttered, pacing the length and breadth of my office, occasionally taking a sip from my glass. “Their silence is…” The moment the thought clicked, I made my way towards the mahogany table in my office and then picked up my phone. A few seconds later, my phone was against my ear. “Hey," His voice crackled on the other end while I s

IVANA’S POVIgor’s close friend was celebrating his seventy birthday, so the entire family was invited.That morning, despite having a lot of unused clothes stacked up in her wardrobe, Lara insisted we go shopping for the party. Lara was obsessed with bold and daring dresses. She took down several lace, silk, open back and high slits and was beaming with excitement while I looked on.Shoving a red gown towards me, she said, “It's going to suit you perfectly." My chest tightened at her words. The gown was beautiful but I couldn't risk it.“Lara.” I called, running my fingers against the soft fabric of the dress, “I can’t wear this.”“Why?” She asked with a deep frown. "It will accentuate your curve, giving you the look of a goddess.”“Ruslan wouldn't like it.” I muttered. "He doesn’t like seeing me wearing stuff like this. If I do, he is not only going to yell at me but you too.” “Ugh! He is such a pain in the ass." She scoffed. “I really wanted you to have this dress." She mumbled
