"Aleksander , just because we have that connection, doesn't mean you go and make a deal with them like this. You're bringing her home for dinner with the family and you don't even know what she's involved in.""It's a simple deal for some of Rhea's time." I shrugged. "It doesn't mean anything, and you're making this a much bigger deal than it needs to be.""You better watch yourself, boy. You can't go losing your head for what's between that dancer's legs." It was a warning, but the insult to Rhea made my blood boil.I stepped into my uncle's space,. Watching his eyes squint up at me as I towered above him. "I can fucking handle myself. And Rhea is so much more than what you're thinking about her."Nikolai gave me a mocking laugh. "Don't get attached Aleksander. You made a deal for her, and when that deal is over Dax is going to take her back. That's what he does. Those women never get away from him.""I appreciate the warning, but I don't need it. I know what I want from her, and she
"it doesn't matter. I have to have you now, baby." My fingers slipped inside of her, Rhea shuddered. I bit her neck and had to hold myself back . I wanted to tear her apart.Rhea's body moved as I fingered her. She began riding my hand and I curled my fingers inside of her clit. Watching her squirm around from the pleasure made me lose the last of my restraint.I pulled my fingers out and rubbed them over her lips, watching her hazed eyes. She frowned at the loss of her rising climax, but she opened her lips and sucked my fingers into her mouth."That's all this mouth is good for, isn't it?" I groaned against her neck. " You're so good at sucking my fingers, baby." When she mewled abd tried to pull her face away , I forced my fingers deeper and she gagged.Then she adjusted her mouth and kept licking and sucking."Good girl, Rhea." I kissed her throat. "Such a good girl."Jerking my fingers from her mouth I reached down and unbuckled the front of my pants . Then I crawled between her
"Rhea!" I whipped my head up to Luke staring at me as though I had lost my head. "Come on, we have a show tonight! You have got to pay attention.""Sorry," I sighed out. Then I straightened my shoulders and pulled a mask down over my features.Luke snapped his fingers and gestured between me and Ricky. "Run the ending again!" This time, Rhea, get your head out of your ass!"Ricky and I locked eyes and he gave me an apologetic smile. I didn't miss the dark circles under his eyes. The closer we got to the end of the exhaustion reflected in the face of every dancer here.Our bodies were pushed to the limit every single day and that lengths we went to stay in shape for the shows were down right brutal. I would never speak of it out loud, but I knew the dancers with the contracts would have it I harder. Our time was split between out passion and the needs of others.When I looked at the other dancers surrounding me in the studio, I would never know who it was suffering in silence. What had
"Are you alright, Aleksander?", I stood in the doorway watching him. After a second, he turned his head up to glance at me. His eyes were dark, and he let them wander over my body before meeting my gaze.The hunger in his eyes made my heart stop beating entirely. But the fire in between my legs sparked to life in the form of a dull throbbing ache. And right now, there was nothing in my head to stop me from wanting the reprieve Aleksander could give me."Just another day at the office." He pushed off the wall and stepped in my direction, stopping to place the bottle of rum on his dresser. "Some weeks are harder than others and this one was hell."When he stopped in front of me, I turned my head up to look him in the eyes. His palms cupped my cheeks, and it stole the air from my lungs when he suddenly kissed me."But my day is better now that you're home", Butterflies fluttered in my stomach as he spoke. "Enough about my boring day, how was your show tonight, baby?""I'm sure you didn't
"Aleksander! Ah!" I braced my hands on his toned chest, feeling the soft fabric of his shirt against my palm and lifted on him. My fingers curled in his shirt when I dropped again, and he hit me even deeper. "Oh, God!"I rode Aleksander to the rythm I wanted, and he let me. Rolling my hips and ensuring that his dick hit every sensitive part of me, driving me higher and higher to the burning passion he made me feel.Aleksander's hands pawed at my body as I rode him. Cupping my breasts and gently teasing my nipples. His palms skimmed over my hips and thighs, and I felt electricity spark on every inch of my skin he touched.His hips lifted to meet mine each time I fell on his length again. We were perfectly in sync, and it felt as if I were still dancing, but now Aleksander was my partner. Aleksander was the prince of this show and as my climax raced towards me, I knew this time there would be a happy ending. If only just this once.My body began to shake, and I fell towards. Aleksander
Her small hand slipped between our bodies, and I sucked in so sharply when she gripped my cock then she pushed me into her tight walls. I knew it that I won't last long this morning. But then her fingers dropped into her legs as she rode me. Circling over her clit, then she threw her head back. I allowed her to touch herself for a moment. Looking between our bodies to watch my cock slip of inside her each time she lifted and dropped."Alright, that's enough of that", I grabbed her waist and pulled her hand away. "Don't you remember that all my pleasure belongs to me, baby"I pulled myself up until we were face to face. Rhea shifted to wrap her legs around my waist, and I pulled my legs underneath me until I was on my knees. Our arms wrapped around each other and held on tightly as I rolled my hips."When you cum, it is going to be because I made you come. Because you are mine. Do you hear me?"I brushed her hair away from her neck then curled my fingers around her throat."Yes, Aleksa
I left her stunned on my bed and couldn't stop myself from chuckling down the stairs. The look on her face having a second orgasm stolen from her and then being told l was going to ruin her tonight was propoundly perfect. A great way to start my day.To be fair if I didn't have this wretched weekend meeting l would have stayed in bed and buried my face between her legs and helped her to find the second climax. But the anticipation today would make it so much better and finally I got my hands on her again. Rhea was dancing through my mind when I got to the office. Security was looking at me a bit oddly and I would never know it was because of unusual smile on my face as I walked in. I had never smiled this alot. There was a fraction of the staff in the building this week and I was great ful for that. Less people to get in my way as I rushed to get out of here and back to Rhea.Yet as soon as I sat on my desk and opened my laptop to run over the last of details for the gala there was a
"i know she is your little play thing right now but it will mean a lot for Annika to see that girl more. At least while you have her", Nikolai spoke pulling me out of my thoughts."Annika gets what she wants", I turned to him."Damn right she does", Nikolai agreed. My uncle's loyalty to his wife was admirable. I mean who could tie themselves to one woman for the rest of their lives. Nikolai did it, he has never cheated on her.Was it love that made Nikolai Makalov bend over backward for the headstrong Russian woman who caught his attention when he had gone home to help his brother. Instead of helping his brother in that six moth period, he wound up with a wife and nephew to bring back to the states."Did love drive my uncle?! How does it even feel to love someone?!"Well since I have passed on my gorgeous wife's request, I'm going to make sure our assistants find the maintenance manager. We need that projector working", He sighed and stepped closer to place his hand on my shoulder. "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
