Wait. What am I thinking? This is wrong. I quickly push that thought away and turn around, shifting my focus to the view outside. I can’t believe I had such a fucked-up thought just now. Am I going crazy? I can’t encourage what he does. It’s not good. Something must be wrong with me to think like t
[ANASTASIA] Before I can respond, he pulls me close again, kissing me harder than before. His tongue pushes into my mouth, and his fingers dig into the soft flesh of my ass. I moan, and my knees go weak. The next thing I know, Ivan is picking me up, and I wrap my legs around his waist almost insti
“Spread your legs, malysh. Show me that pussy. I want to see how wet you are for me.” I comply, my cheeks flushing. I can feel his gaze burning a hole into my body, and the more I stand here, the hotter it gets. “Fuck, Ana. Look at you,” he says, running his thick fingers along my slit. “So fuckin
[IVAN] “How bad is it?” I stride down the long corridor, Dimitri right behind me. “And why the hell didn’t you call me right away? Was waiting for him to fucking die?” Dimirti sighs, probably frowning at himself. “I thought we could handle it.” I shake my head. “Of course.” We continue walking d
I close my eyes and think back to the last time he had stood before me, so nervous and terrified. Wanting to keep his sister safe and let her continue her studies. I could understand where he was coming from. If I had a sibling, I would do everything in my power to protect them too. I sigh, and ope
[ANASTASIA] When Ivan returns home this morning, he’s lost in his own mind. I watch him enter through the main doors, walk over to the sofa, and collapse on it. He looks exhausted. I pour some water for him in a glass and head over to where he sits. “Here.” “Thank you, malysh.” He sits up stra
He shakes his head in amusement and I smile, pleased to make him laugh. “Fine. But come upstairs as soon as you can. I want to hold you.” He nuzzles his face into my neck and places a small kiss. I know what he means when he says that, and it makes my toes curl. “You’re upset. I don’t think we sh
His fingers dig into my flesh, and he slowly lowers his mouth to my neck, placing wet kisses over my throat. I arch my back as he sucks on a sensitive spot there. He keeps kissing, and I know he’s going to leave marks. “Ivan…the kids. They’re going to ask about them.” I let out a groan of pleasure
After our fourth round of pure, wild sex, I have nothing left in me. Every ounce of energy drained, I barely manage to pull the sheets over myself before sleep claims me.When I wake hours later, the room is dim, the soft glow of my bedside lamp casting long shadows on the walls. My body feels heavy
[NADIA]“You’re here?” I say into the phone, clutching my books tightly to my chest as I glance around. “Where?”“Outside. Meet me when you’re done with your classes.”A wide grin spreads across my face, excitement bubbling inside me. “Oh, I’m done. And even if I wasn’t, I’d still run to you.”Dimit
The Ivan I know is strong. Unshakable. Even in the worst situations, he carries himself with a quiet, effortless confidence that makes you believe nothing could ever touch him.But the man lying in this hospital bed, surrounded by beeping machines and the sterile scent of antiseptic, looks nothing l
[ANASTASIA]Ever since I woke up after the incident, I have been dying to see Ivan.But now that I’m standing outside his room—where supposedly he had been admitted—, I can’t muster up the courage to push open the damn door.I’m nervous. Terrified. And most of all, unsure.I don’t know if I’m ready
Lena presses her lips together tightly, the color draining from her face until it looks almost lifeless.For a long moment, she doesn’t speak. The silence stretches between us, thick and suffocating. I can feel my heartbeat in my ears, pounding relentlessly, echoing my fear.Why the hell is she taki
[ANASTASIA]The next time I open my eyes, I’m not alone.Lena sits next to my bed, her hand in mine, her eyes closed, as if she fell asleep while watching over me.For the first time since waking up from my so-called long slumber, I look at her carefully. She looks more tired than I’ve ever seen her
[NIKOLAI]Once we finally get to his office, Konstantin takes his seat behind the desk and raises an eyebrow. He looks kind of pissed, but not enough to end me right here and now.He might have the power to do that and carry on with his day as if nothing happened, but I know in my gut he won’t. He m
[NIKOLAI]I hang up the phone and stare hard at the ground.“Fuck you, Dimitri!” I growl, clenching the phone tighter and huffing out a heavy breath.The bastard has the audacity to make me responsible for everything that happened to Ana and Ivan. But is it? Am I really the one to blame?I look away
[DIMITRI]I storm out of the building and light a cigarette, unable to think of anything else.I breathe in the smoke and then blow it out, hoping it will take away the stress pressing on my chest, making my lungs incapable of doing their job.I don’t know what to do anymore. Ana is finally awake, w
