I stopped breathing. What i saw was insanely intimate and almost horrifyingly embarrassing. Aleksander had his face buried between my thighs,right against my pussy and he was gazing with wide eyes at what he was doing to me watching his hands pleasure me. The open mouthed smile I could see on his face was insanely lewd.It was erotic. And paired with those skilled fingers circling my clit and then the ones he pushed inside me. I was writhing and crying out on the matress in minutes. My first orgasm of the night was slow and spread over me in gentle waves . It left me panting all the same.The devilish man watched himself pleasure me under the light. This felt like the filthiest thing a man had ever done to me.Yet Aleksander wasn't finished with me.Before my light shaking had subsided, his mouth was covering my core . His tongue flicked over my clit and moans bubbled past my lips. My bundle of nerves was so sensitive, and he flattened his tongue to move it hard and slow over me. He w
Midnight sex|ALEKSANDER'S POV|After taking the last drag of a cigarette, I threw it out and made my way back inside the hotel. The air was frigid at this time between the late night and early morning. I tightened the Lotte palace robe around my shoulders to beat back the chill that had attempted to sleep into my skin.I wanted to get back into bed with Rhea. I wanted her body to warm mine up,and I had to let her sleep long enough. My body was buzzing to have her again. Remembering how her beautiful face looked everytime she came had an extra pep to my step as I rushed to get back to the room.Our first night together, she had vanished in the night. My heart skipped a beat at the thought that she might slip away when am out for a smoke. I pushed open the door and rushed inside. Relief flooded my system to see her still tucked underneath the comforter where I left her. The blanket had slide partially down her body where she lay on her back.Her full, perky breasts exposed under soft l
"Ahh!" Rhea shoved her face further into the pillow as she trembled and came. The clenching on my cock at this angle brought me close to the edge."Again, baby?" How had no one else gotten her to come before? It was so easy.I pulled out and flipped her over. She sank into the matress, chest quickly rising and falling with her ragged breathing. She nodded her head at me, still quivering randomly from the force of the second orgasm. The sight of her satisfied face and shaking body had a truimphant smirk tugging at the corners of my lips." I think I can get one more out of you before I'm done. How does that sound?" I tossed the question out as at the same moment grabbed her behind the knees and lifted her legs.I knew she was flexible after seeing her perform on stage but seeing how easily her legs went up into the chest made me go feral. The last of my control went out the window and I lost myself with the desire to fill her.I shoved myself back inside of her and she screamed loudly,
For a moment, I didn't know what to say next. My mind was still reeling from the intense morning sex and finding her try to leave."Tell me what you want from room service and go to take a relaxing shower", I ran my hand through my hair, then I moved to the menu next to her on the counter. Her body froze when I got close next to her, and I noticed her eyes trail over my bare skin.Standing next to her, I could see the tint of pink on her cheeks and slow rise and fall of her chest as she gaped at me. With the menu in front of my face, I didn't think she realized I knew she was staring.It made my cock ache again, and I had to clench my jaw to focus on the food. "Here," I cleared my throat and handed it over.She took the room service menu, making sure her fingers didn't touch mine as she did. I openly frowned at that. Why was she acting that way?!"Bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast croissant with the mixed fruit on the side", She handed the menu back over and set her purse and coat back
"so, my plans of seduction would have failed miserably if I couldn't even find you", l spoke and she giggled while shaking her head."Well, I don't see anyone since I have the clients, anyway. Even if I had been there, I wouldn't have fallen for your so - called seduction plans."That confirmed for me she wasn't seeing anyone outside of these illicit meetings. It lessened a smidgen of the darkness in my chest."Oh, I think I could have persuaded you," I smiled at her."Like I said, you are very determined," she replied, fingers slightly trembling as she reached for her iced latte.I said nothing as she sipped her drink and went back to moving her fruit around in the bowl. But I watched her still. Rhea might not want to admit it, but I was confident my seduction skills would have worked on her.I might have paid to have her, but there was an undeniable attraction between us. It was as clear as day to me. She was shy, but the way she stole glances at me and how her eyes lit up when I wa
If I didn't say yes, then this time next week I could be underneath some old man who would make my skin crawl. And I would very much rather be under Aleksander's body. The realization of that thought made me gnaw on my bottom lip and look away from him again. I felt too warm in my own skin around him."I'm serious, Rhea. I might not particularly like taking you in this way, but if this is what I must do to have you I'm going to do it. I just want to make sure you accept it.""Yes, Aleksander," I inhaled deeply. "I will agree to an exclusive contract with you. You will have to work around my schedule with the ballet, of course. That always comes first.""Aleksander's eyes lit up even though his face didn't flinch . There was something burning in that gaze and the way he gobbled me up with his eyes had shivers curl up my spine. A slow smile pulled at the corner of his mouth."I can work with that," He stood up from his seat and began to walk around the table. "I'll reach out to Dax and
Even during breaks I was still expected to keep up with the basic of training nutrition. That made me wonder why Aleksander was seeing a dietician and trainer. He was incredibly fit, but I didn't think he was a professional athletic. I kept thinking about him as I waited for a cab to take me home.At the corner of the street, i passed a newspaper stand with snacks and magazines. I grimaced when I recognized last month's magazine that I was on the cover of. But my eyes wandered briefly over the newspapers and newer magazines the stand owner was getting out for the day.A gasp pulled itself from my lips and vanished in the air. I reached out and grabbed the magazine with Aleksander's face on the front.Youngest millionaire in New York City. My heart dropped through the bottom of my chest as I read the words."You buying a copy, sweet heart?" The stand owner drawled in a heavy brooklyn accent. Then his eyes wandered over my face and whipped back to the older magazine cover I was splayed
"Have the nurses given you anything for cough? If not, I can go talk to them and get you something", l spoke concerned."No, darling, I'm alright. There is not much more they can do for me at this point." Papa tried to smile, but his point was emphasized by another bout of coughing, the kind of coughing you could tell was coming from deep within the lungs."Well, if they can't do anything maybe another hospital will be able to help you. I can keep looking if they aren't taking care of you here!" Panic rose from the tip of my toes to my scalp, racing like pinpricks up my skin as I looked over Papa's pale skin and sunken eyes."Rhea, no", My grandpa whispered and squeezed my hand weakly in his . "This is already the best hospital in Manhattan. They make as comfortable as they can, you know that. I'm lucky enough you were able to get me in here." His eyes were crystal clear today, no hint of the fog in his mind messing with his thoughts and memories.Those eyes held me in place as he sc
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
