"Rhea", It surprised me when I sighed her name. I bucked my hips under her and she moaned.She lifted her hips to put some space between us and suddenly grabbed my erection then she began pumping it in her hand. "Shit, that feels good", I groaned."Is it okay?", She asked."Baby, it's so good", My head fell back to the side as she stroked me with one hand. I was blindfolded but I knew the moment she used the other hand to pull her panties to the side."Oh", She lowered herself again, but the length of my throbbing cock was resting against her wet slit. She was dripping wet, and her pussy slipped over my cock as she ground herself back and forth on me.My dick ached to be inside of her, even though it felt fantastic to feel her wetness rubbing on my length. She didn't stop grinding on me as she leaned forward to rub her hands up and down my stomach and over my chest. Her fingers lingered in the light trail of hair below my naval before going across my chest again.All i could feel, he
RHEA'S POV.My eyes snapped open to see the early morning light creeping over the top of the curtains in the bedroom. Breathy pants were slipping through my mouth, and my fingers clawed at the bedsheets underneath my back. I tried to close my legs against the rising tide of swirling heat in my core but Aleksander's head was nestled there.I couldn't see him when I glanced down. He buried his head between my thighs under the blanket, and he was feasting on me as if he were a starving man with his last meal. The flick of his tongue over my clit sent goosebumps flaring across my limbs.Aleksander groaned in the back of his throat as he tasted me, pleasuring me and fanning the flames within. A hot and heavy coil tensed up in my core when he slipped two fingers into my dripping cunt and curled them against my sweet spot. That wicked tongue lapped at my clit expertly while his fingers pumped into me repeatedly.The pleasure was swelling, and my head became lighter as my release barreled tow
Once alone, I got out of the bed to get ready for my day, feeling the erotic ache between my thighs and deep in my muscles. Thanks to Aleksander.Intimacy with Aleksander this past week was ridiculously intense. Every day he came home from work and there was this look in his eyes as if he was starving. His hunger went beyond the need for food and his wicked mouth devoured me non stop.Over the weekend, we went out to one of his restaurants for dinner and Aleksander finger fucked me under the table to the point my panties were soaked to stay for a dessert. Trying not to shake and moan in the back of a darkened fine dining establishment, isn't how I imaged that night would go , but it had felt good to make him stop.Even last night we were back in the living room in front of that mirror. Aleksander had me on his lap, legs spread wide while he used a purple vibrating dildo on me. After cumming twice and making me watch, he did slid his cock into my ass and fucked me over the edge of the
"Rhea I want to meet this guy, Get the old family approval and whatnot", Grandpa chuckled."Though I'm not worried about you, Rhea. You have a good taste, so I can't wait to see him", He went on."I understand papa, I will bring him", Shaking my head with a soft laugh, I took comfort in his words and his gentle hand on mine. "I didn't forget that I promised to take you to Fraunces Tavern at the end of the season, and you look like you doing great, so they will let me take you out of here for lunch tomorrow", I added and I was serious. I will fight the nurses to accomplish it. It would be worth it to have lunch with grandpa out of the hospital."That's a lovely idea, Rhea. I would love that", He beamed at me and the glimmer in his eyes was a positive sign for me. "Well, it's about time you made it over to the studio for practice", Grandpa murmured."You right", I balked at the time on the bedside table. Leaning forward, I gave papa a quick kiss on the cheek and got up. "I will see you
Chills danced up my spine and curled over the back of my neck when I saw her. Goosebumps prickled almost painfully along my flesh and my chest tightened, stuffing my ability to breathe.Annika gripped my hand tight in the seat to my left. Her opposite hand to her chest and a silent gasp on her lips as the Swan Queen came into view. My aunt was just as awed by Rhea as everyone else in the theater.The fluid way she floated across the stage was otherworldly. Her powerful, lithe form moved in sync with the thrill of the orchestral music. It was astounding, watching her perform and bring the story of life with her body. Everything faded away and my vision tunneled on Rhea. She was an angel from heaven and I was a sinner burning on the inside from her presence alone.I leaned forward in my seat, holding my breath as I witnessed the agony and pain in the odette's eyes when her heart breaks. Those expressive blue eyes were glimmering like diamonds and my hand curled into a fist against my th
"This thing is massive, Aleksander. I can't carry this and see", Rhea giggled."But I love them"The light over the theater back door, shone down on her like a golden halo, and the flowers flamed her heavenly face. Rhea was picturesque and more beautiful than any great painting in the world.Words formed on the tip of my tongue for her. Something at this moment was pushing me to open my mouth and spill the secrets, I had buried so deep that I didn't register they were there at all until recently. I had to tell her everything because our time together would be over soon, and I didn't want it to end. Clearing my throat, Rhea looked back up at me, smiling over the crimson red roses. I was ready and willing to drown myself in the pools of her blue eyes. "Rhea, I need to tell you something, I l.........""Oh! Sorry", Just as I began, she interrupted. "My phone keeps buzzing in my pocket but I can't reach it. Can you grab it for me so I can see who keeps calling me?","Of course", I agreed
I watched as Rhea's feet flew over the sidewalk but I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe. I was feeling ice in my blood and a stone where my heart had been seconds ago The gentle night time breeze ruffled my hair, and it drew my eyes to the crushed flowers on the sidewalk, petals skittering away in the wind. At the sound of a slamming car door, my head jerked up and saw Rhea getting in the back of a cab.My feet moved under me on their own, something like madness driving me to race after her. I jumped into the street despite the honking horns, my leather shoes smacking over the street as I ran after the back of that yellow cab."RHEA AAA......", I screamed after her but she couldn't hear me. The cab turned around the block and i lost them in a sea of cars and skyscrappers.I was too late. Rhea was gone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~RHEA'S POV...The glimmer of hope I had begun to feel was now shattered at my feet in a million fucking tiny little pieces. Reflecting back to me the tortured face of d
A drawn car horn in the streets far below jolted me from my dreams. To my left, the mattress was cold and empty. The hell of being in love and waking up alone was too much for me to bear. I couldn't handle it. Not now that I have lost everything.When I dragged my feet out of the bed, the sun was blazing through the window. The time on my bedside clock told me I had slept for twelve hours. It still didn't feel like enough.I dug through my bag, looking for my phone out of habit. Of course the battery was out, and I sighed at the thought of what would be waiting for me once it came back on. Still I plugged it in and hopped into the shower while it was charging.Under the scalding spray of water, my bones turned to jelly and I melted against the tile. I let the burning water turn my skin red, and I scrubbed until my flesh was raw. Anything not to feel the pain in my chest and to distract me from the poisonous thoughts in my mind.~ Alone~ Alone~ ALONE..In the silence, my thoughts scre
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
