ALEKSANDER'S POVA few sprinkles rained down from the sky when I stepped out of the office in the evening. Antonio was already waiting out front in the car, so I braced myself and jaunted out to beat the start of the storm. Thankfully he had windshield wipers going and the heat blasting for me when I settled into the back seat.It was the end of the week and I blissfully left the office early after dealing with Nikolai all afternoon. With the grand opening of our new club acquisition coming tomorrow, we were down to the wire to make sure all the plans were completed.My head was pounding, and I wished I could melt in the backseats of the Cadillac. Rubbing my forehead, I forced myself to tune into my driver talking to me."Nice seeing you leave the office early today, boss. That's a good start to the weekend", He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel as we stopped at the crowded intersection. The sounds of the rain pattering on the car broke up the following silence."It would have
Through out the whole drive at home, I was lost in my thoughts. All my thoughts revolved around Rhea and the shadow of man she was with. All I could envision was a faceless figure embracing her and touching her in all places only I could touch.Another man had his hands on her today and I didn't know why that sent me spiraling the way I was right now. Each beat of my heart echoed through my ears, and I couldn't swallow over the dry hump in my throat.When the house appeared through the window under a thick curtain of rain, my vision tunneled."Good night, Antonio", I tossed out, sliding a tip over the center console. Then I shot out of the car and into the downpour.Rain soaked me as I fumbled with my key to undress the door. I needed a smoke to calm my nerves, but I was in a rush to get to Rhea with my erratic thoughts burning a hole in my head.Through the door, I tossed off my coat, not even caring if rainwater dripped onto the rug in the foyer. My laptop surely rattled around in m
Rhea's eyes locked with mine but she didn't fight me as my hands went to the hem of her dress. The fabric was slightly bunched in the middle of her thighs from how she was sitting on the couch and it made it easier for me to curl my fingers in the bottom. She stopped breathing as I lifted the dress without a word and dropped it on the floor."Nothing happened", She repeated herself, already completely out of breath. I watched her swallow, admiring her long, graceful neck. And i believed what she was telling me. I really did but my emotions were still storm rolling around me and I found myself unable to stop our current collision more."Regardless, I'm going to fuck you so hard. You will be thinking about me the next time another man is inside of you", Even as I said it, my rage grew again. The thought of there ever being another man to touch her, to be inside of her..... I couldn't bear up with it."Alek....", Rhea bodily shivered against me but I interrupted her by slamming my mouth
Rhea's breathy moans picked up, and she rocked her hips against my hand each time, my finger passed over her clit. The haze of desire was clouding her eyes and I was glad to be one to fulfill those needs."You really a good girl, baby. You doing a good job being my good girl. Do you see yourself right now?. Look at how wet this pussy is for me", I whispered against her neck then slipped two fingers into her tight cunt, grinding my teeth at the sweet feeling of her walls squeezing me.Rhea moaned and her hips shook in my lap ad she rode my fingers. The feeling of her perfectly round ass rubbing against my lap was making my dick impossibly harder. My groin throbbed and my pants felt terribly tight underneath her squirming body.Pulling my slick fingers from her pussy, Rhea whined, releasing brief noises that drove me wild. Each hitch of her breath and her little moans were making me want to ruin her more.Lifting my hand in front her face, I spread my fingers to show her the evidence of
Rhea's body tensed up and her pussy clenched. I rubbed her clit faster and pushed my dick even deeper inside of her. It only took seconds for her to begin quickly trembling in my lap. The feeling of her pussy gripping me as she came, pushed me closer to the edge."Aleksander", She cried my name as she climaxed, and it was better than any song the angels could sing. I was responsible for her pleasure, and I wanted it all to myself.Making Rhea orgasm was euphoric for me. I went spiraling into my release as it hit me like a brick wall. My hand on her neck tightened up and my hand on her pussy curled up so I could wrap my arm around her ribs.Crushing her harder against my chest and falling deeper into the couch, I pounded up into her tight cunt. Breathing hard against the side of her neck as I reached for the end of the tunnel of ecstasy "Nnnnnh", I groaned through my clenched jaw as I shot my load into her pussy. My chest let go of the breath I was holding as all the tension in my bod
"Should we get out or order in?", Aleksander asked running his hand through his hair, and I was staring at his biceps, ogling every inch of his toned arms.I didn't want to go anywhere else after going out today. One glance through the open space in his bedroom curtains told me it was still raining. "I think it's going to storm all night. We should stay in. We don't need anyone deliver in this weather, either I will toss a pizza from the freezer in the oven", I turned the door handle, cracking the bedroom door open ready to leave."No, you get comfortable. I will handle dinner", There was a hit of command in his tone. I couldn't tell him no when I heard that."Okay", i responded then turned to leave without looking back. If I stayed for another second, I honestly worried that I would drop my towel and beg him to fuck me again.That man had no right to look as good as he is. It is really not fair.Going up to the narrow stairs of the two guest rooms on the fourth floor, I turned to th
"Ricky's boyfriend, Devin was a dancer too, but he retired early to become a model. I'm friends with both of them but I'm closer to Ricky", I started to explain but I made sure that I didn't say anything about my papa."That's good to know", Aleksander leaned over the table and crossed his arms. "You never talk about your friends", He added."Neither do you", I tossed back before I could stop myself.He stared at me, dumbfounded that it would turn around on him. We both seemed to realize it would cross the line to divulge more about ourselves. It was natural to let information slip through when you lived with someone or made idle conversation. But now, we were going to actively take that next step in getting to know one another on a deeper level."I don't have friends these days", Aleksander admitted being the first to cross over the line. "After college, I went straight to work for my uncle. Game nights and parties just slipped away as I became wrapped up in work. Eventually they sto
ALEKSANDER'S POVIt was a hard morning to focus on work. On a Saturday I shouldn't be working at all, but with the new club grand opening tonight, there was too much to be done. Sitting on my desk in my home office, I couldn't stop looking at Rhea lounging on the couch.Having her in the room with me after breakfast was such a simple thing. We weren't fucking on every surface, though I was certainly thinking about it. It was simply her presence in the room, causing my mind to wander.The battery shafts of light streaming in through the wall of windows at my back were highlighting her golden hair, giving her a divine image. She was an angel in the world of men and she was just sitting there in a sweater and legging. So comfortable being herself while in the room with me. She had a book in her lap and a smile gracing her lips.This felt intimate, yet normal. It felt right.Waking up with Rhea in my arms, her soft body pressed against mine, then having breakfast together side by side a
EPILOGUE RHEA'S POV Three wonderful years came and went. Each one became a new chapter in my life that I'd never forget. I couldn't when I had otherworldly love pouring through me every day. More than I ever thought I'd experience in my life.Trudging through the grief of losing so much family ate a hole in my heart. Aleksander came along and slowly threaded the chasm together, healing me with each delicate touch and sensual kiss. An unlikely love formed from that illicit contract, and through turmoil and pain, we forged our story.Glowing, floating on top of the world, I swept into the kitchen. A delightful buzz from champagne left a rosy flush across my cheeks. I poured myself a glass of water, listening to precious laughter drifting from upstairs as I did."Rhea!" Annika's excited coo made me whirl around from the sink. I came face to face with her, waving her red nails, gesturing for a hug. I stepped into her arms. Annika shimmied against me. "How did the event go?""It was great
The technician broke the silence first. "Your chart says that you're estimated to be about eighteen weeks along. Is that correct?""Yes," Rhea swiftly answered. Her smile widened. "The size of a bell pepper this week.""That's right," the technician chortled. She glanced between the three Makalovs in the dimly lit room. One hand clicked a button on the ultrasound keyboard and the monitor flickered on. With the probe hovering over Rhea's navel, she asked, "Are you interested in knowing the gender?"Rhea's throat bobbed. Her fingers twitched in mine. Simultaneously, we locked gazes. It was an important question, and one we hadn't discussed nearly enough."I'm going to love them, regardless." Her bottom lip trembled as she studied my face. "As long as they're healthy.""Do you want it to be a surprise?" I whispered in my wife's ears alone. Leaning closer, I nuzzled into the side of her face. "Whatever you want, baby. Just say the word."Despite her nerves, Rhea giggled. She turned her he
ALEKSANDER'S POV A month passed, and we returned home.Keeping my promise to Rhea, I relinquished the reins over to Nikolai to close the loose ends with the Genovese crime family.My aunt and uncle understood and approved of my wish to keep my hands clean for my wife's sake. Nikolai didn't bat an eye when he proclaimed the Genovese would accept a deal and leave our family alone if we did the same.Antonio recovered from his injuries from the car accident. After two weeks in bed, he returned with renewed vigor. The incidents of that day wounded his honor, and he stated he needed to make up for it. As much as I argued, he needed to take time away. He continued showing up in uniform.Rhea had a checkup with her doctor. That was an appointment I wouldn't miss for the world. I held her hand through the follow-up tests, using her as my lifeline through the stress. I'm sure I was the same for her.The thumping sound of a heartbeat lifted a weight off my chest. Rhea cried from the sweet tast
Keeping one hand on his cheek, our lips a hair's breadth apart, I hooked my other arm around his neck. Chest to chest except for his hand on my breast, I breathed my promise into him. "I love you, Aleksander. Forever."A relieved shudder rushed through his body from head to toe. The stuttered sigh past his lips tickled my mouth. I repeated my vow to him, again and again, accompanied by each primal thrust of his hips. "I love you. I love you. I love you."Lush warmth blossomed in the center of my being. It rose from a taut coil in the depths of my core. All at once the carnal pleasure of Aleksander making love to me exploded through my body, rushing in waves from between my thighs to each of my limbs.Quaking against him with searing pleasure wracking my body, Aleksander couldn't hold back. My pulsing cunt forced him into the throes of his climax, following the heels of mine. He painted me from within, claiming me in the salacious way that I enjoyed.He caught my cries on his tongue, s
He seized me in his hands, tenderly stroking them over my fevered flesh. I didn't notice when the gloves came off, but I savored the sensation of his skin on mine. Aleksander explored every dip and curve of my body as if discovering me for the first time.His scruff tickled my throat as his lips tasted me from my chin to my collarbone. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and Aleksander grabbed my hips. In one swift motion, he lifted me off the floor. My legs curled around his waist.The stiffness of his growing erection slipped against the wet center of me. A groan escaped from his mouth into mine. We shared a brief moan at the sweet moment of friction.Aleksander's lips clashed with mine in a passionate frenzy. He moved forward, marching us under the hot spray of the shower. We didn't stop until my back met the tile, crushed between the shower wall and Aleksander's perfectly sculpted frame.I grasped the back of his hair in one hand, tugging slightly as Aleksander's teeth nipped at my
RHEA'S POV Every ounce of my consciousness slipped from my grasp the moment Aleksander freed me. While all the world moved around me, my thoughts stayed still within the pit of darkness consuming my mind. My awareness stayed on my pulsing veins, coursing with cold blood and the rough pounding of my heart throbbing through my limbs.Each breath cleaved through my lungs, strained and burning. Only the heat of Aleksander's hand on my arms kept me on my feet. He was my anchor to reality during a turbulent car ride, and as he swept me through the blinding lights of a semi crowded lobby.A hotel, I thought, somewhere downtown. My eyes couldn't focus on anything, from the onlooking strangers in the shadows to the overly bright glow of opulent lighting. Aleksander and Nikolai's hushed voices brushed against something inside my head. I knew they were with me, but I moved on autopilot.My body floated on a cloud. Up an elevator. Several turns down hallways that felt like a damn never-ending ma
Men screamed. Blood and brains splattered the walls and floors as they went down.A figure popped out around a corner. I fired one shot at his head, and he descended to the ground like an axed tree falling in a forest.Another came behind him. Too close to shoot from afar. My left arm shot out and blocked his. I used the momentum to force his aim up. My opponent shot and missed, bullets lodging in the ceiling. With my left hand, I pointed the gun at his stomach and fired two rounds.The last shot went into the side of his skull as he stumbled to his knees. Then he dropped like a stone on the filthy concrete.An arm emerged at the end of the corridor I passed through. I pulled the trigger, yet nothing left the chamber.Regardless of my unloaded pistol, I grabbed the arm in front of me. One twist of the wrist forced his weapon from his hand. The gun clattered away on the floor.The man grunted. When I jammed the butt of my gun into his face, breaking his nose, he screamed. As he fell, I
ALEKSANDER'S POV Nikolai burst from the front doors of the Makalov mansion. I followed hot on his heels, rushing toward the line of awaiting cars parked around the massive fountain at the end of the driveway.The very last thing Nikolai and I expected was to receive a call from an anonymous contact who worked for the Genovese. Someone in their organization vehemently opposed a potential war. Enough to give away Luca's location.Rhea was the one thing in this world I wanted more desperately than my body needed air. Luca Genovese stole her from me. Now betrayed by his own, I would take his life.The fiery glow of dusk settled itself over the horizon. A brisk wind whipped up the edges of my coat. My fingers twitched, itching for a cigarette to relieve my bristling nerves.Leaving Annika safe at the mansion, I joined my uncle in the backseat of the first car. Personal guards accompanied us. All well-trained and armed with the same pistol I carried.Savage anger writhed like a serpentine
"I'll handle it." The snarky response pulled me from my thoughts. Then the door at my back pushed open with a grating creak of metal on metal. I slammed back into reality, where I sat handcuffed to a chair in some semi-abandoned building.Every breath I took burned my chest. My body tensed with the fear running in my blood. As Luca's shadow rose ominously over the opposite wall, I couldn't breathe. I couldn't move a muscle as each sinister thump of his shoes carried him closer.Luca appeared in front of me with an eerie aura. His disturbing grin slashed wider upon finding me alert.I tried maintaining my gaze at first. He lasciviously ogled every inch of me with a malicious sneer, twisting his features. The threatening glint in his eyes forced my gaze down to his expensive leather loafers crunching on bits of broken glass beneath us."You're finally awake," Luca announced, cocking his head to the side. "The accident was unfortunate, but I didn't think your driver knew any defensive ma
