Craving Him, My Step-Brother Chapter 54
IVANA'S POV Upon our arrival at the party, Lara's lips curled into a smile and her eyes twinkled in happiness, like a little child going to a birthday party for the first time. The car pulled up in the parking lots beside all other expensive ones of different types and products. The party was surely for the wealthy and powerful. It wasn't for me, but so far I carried the Orlovs surname with me, I had automatically became one of them. Rich and powerful. We both stepped down from the car, hand in hand, making our way through the entrance with hefty bodyguards standing by the door with stern looks on. Each of them had a gun in their hands and I swear, they weren't there to play. They meant fucking business. “They ask for IDs,” Lara leaned forward, whispering into my ear and my eyes dilated. “What is the age standard?” I asked and she smiled, leaning forward once more. “Twenty will do.” She nodded and I exhaled. I was only twenty-one and it made me kind of worried, thi

RUSLAN'S POV I wasn't the overprotective kind of brother to Lara. I never was, not until Ivana Alex came into the picture. With her innocent looks, she has destroyed and disrupted so much in my life that can't seem to return back to normal anymore. I doubt my life could be as perfect as it once was. After they were gone, it took sheer willpower not to send Felix and Mark after them for protection. With the Irish mafia hovering around, it wasn't safe for them, but nevertheless, Lara assured me. She promised to give me a call if things went wrong, but it's been hours since they left, but I got no call or whatsoever. I had paperworks to handle and also needed leave for my warehouse for inspection of the goods coming from Italy, but it has been an hour, yet, I couldn't bring myself to concentrate on my work, let alone leave for the warehouse. Seated behind the desk with my phone and paperworks on the desk, I spaced out. Lara has always been the party type and neither could I

IVANA'S POV When Ruslan told me to remain where I was because he would be coming over, I thought of it as a mere threat, just so I wouldn't go with those boys, but turned out it was nothing close to a threat.He was so fucking serious about it. The second I set my eyes on him, he was striding towards me, his eyes blazing with fury and another kind of emotion. The kind of emotion I shouldn't call out without thinking about it twice.Ruslan is a psychopath who isn’t capable of emotions, but lately, he's been showing more emotions than I can handle and it keeps trying to tie me down.It made me crave him more. Want him more than I should. Think of forbidden things which shouldn't cross my mind at all….Before I could snap out of my reverie, he was already standing in front of me, his large hands locked against the shirt of the guy beside me.I was so dumfounded that I couldn't say a word other than watch him punch the guy, dislocating his jaw and sending his teeth flying out of his mo

RUSLAN’S POV Men feared my wrath, anger, ruthlessness. They fell on their knees, trembling at the mention of my name, but when it comes to my step-sister, Ivana Alex, I can't hold my anger for long.It was now the other way round.She always knows the perfect way to unlock and release every anger and grudge pent up in my chest.When she said she was sorry, I heard it clearly and it came as a shock to me, but I wanted to hear it once more, so I pretended like I never heard it.I leaned closer, my hands still on the steering wheel and my eyes focused on the road.I wouldn't love to get into an accident in the middle of the night. It was of no good to me or whatsoever.She was overly cute and innocent without any care in the world for me to handle.I was trying to remain cool and composed, but she unlocked the beast inside of me when she pecked my cheek.Ivana Alex was indirectly giving me a chance to fuck her, to brand her as mine and this time, I didn't hesitate.I was ready to fuck t

IVANA'S POV I groaned as the sun slipped into my room through the curtains. Turning from one end of the bed to another, I wanted to sleep more, but my head was slammed with ache, causing me to shut my eyes tightly, trying to make the aching go away. Minutes later, the ache wasn't leaving, so I peeled my eyes open slowly, taking in my surrounding and once I confirmed that I was in my room back at the Orlovs’ mansion, I relaxed a bit. “Arg! My head hurt.” Groaning with my hands on my head, I sat upright, massaging my temple just to reduced the hangover aching in my head. The urge to yawn took over and I raised my right hand to my mouth, trying to cover it as I yawned, but immediately my hand came in contact with my lips, the memories from last night came flooding into my head like the waves of the sea. Pecking Ruslan…. Kissing him….. Giving him a blow job… My lips parted in shock and my pupils dilated. “What have you do, Ivana?” My hands went to my cheeks, touching

IVANA'S POV Clearing my throat, I rose to my feet, moving away from the dining table. “I would love to return to my room and take a rest.”Mom, Igor and Lara settled their gaze on me, making me uncomfortable.“Don't forget, Ivana, your first fitting is in two days. Just reminding you, so you won't forget.” Lara informed me and I nodded slowly.“Thank you for the reminder.” Forcing a smile on my face, I walked out of the room entirely, going upstairs to my room.Once I was in, I fell flat on the bed, with my boobs pressing against it and my phone in my hand, staring at Ruslan's sultry words.My fingers absentmindedly threaded through my skirt, making contact with my wet panties.My fingers massaged my throbbing pussy, while I stared at the message, thinking of him.I wanted him to touch me, fuck me, make me his personal slut, but I doubt any of it would be happening anytime soon.My wedding was in six days and I doubt we'd be able to see each other, now that he was busy dealing with t

IVANA'S POV After the fitting was over, Lara paid for the wedding dress and we returned back to the clan.She has been grinning from ear to ear and working on something on her tablet without my knowledge.Maybe… she really didn't hide it from me, I wasn't concentrating enough to know what she was doing.Once we arrived at the Clan, I alighted from the car and walked away, all eyes on me.Like I said earlier, I was a walking dead. Even when Mom called me back to ask how the fitting went, I ignored her totally, heading upstairs to my room.“What's wrong with her?” She asked Lara who walked in with two bodyguards behind here, obviously holding the wedding dress.“Why do you ask, Mrs Orlov?” Lara furrowed her brows, halting on her track.“I called her but she didn't respond. She's so lost in thought and also pale like a walking dead.” Mom narrated to Lara who smiled.“It's nothing serious, Mrs Orlov. You shouldn't worry.” She assured Mom.Arriving at my room, I fell on the bed with my ey

RUSLAN'S POV Avoiding Ivana Alex was the hardest of all. It was so hard that I could barely keep my head working perfectly.I couldn't stop thinking of her and the way she occupied my mind without a rent was illegal.When Lara called me to come see Ivana during her last fitting, I wanted to decline as it would ruin the perfect layers I placed around my heart, but instead, I found myself in the wedding shop, seated, while waiting for her to walk out of the dressing room.Jesus fucking Christ…. When she did, I couldn't take my eyes off her.I had to fight with my demons, just so I could look away, just this once.If I didn't, things might get more complicated than it already was and Ivana's wedding with Jeremy?It would be called off… by me.I was barely holding up. I just couldn't wait for the next day to arrive so I could get her married and out of my system, as it was the best decision, but it kept getting harder with each passing second.“How does the dress look on her?” Lara asked

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
