"Shit, Rhea am sorry","No it's okay. I was honestly too young to really remember them much anyways. My grandparents took me in and ballet became my life", I gripped her hand tighter, trying to silently thank her for opening up to me. "Your grandparents sound amazing. I'm glad that you had them there for you during something so traumatic","Me too", Then she shrugged and inhaled as if shaking something off. "You know what's like to be raised by your family not the real parent's", She added."I do. Count it as one of the things we have in common", My heart thumped against my ribs, saying out loud and realizing how right she was.Before she could respond, just then the servers came out with our food and refills on our drinks. Enough of a distraction that our minds went elsewhere and left the darker topics behind. Rhea looked profoundly delighted as the burger was set in front of her."Eat up baby", I winked at her when she looked up. "I still have promises about tonight to fulfill", Sh
"It's a word you can remember to say when you want me to stop whatever am doing to you", Aleksander explained."I have never wanted you to stop before", My response was instant and I slapped my hand over my mouth when I registered what I had said.Aleksander chuckled. It was a low rumble in his chest that made me squeeze my thighs together. "Good to know. But for tonight I want you to have one. Please","Allegro", I chirped the first word that popped up in my head.Aleksander paused but after a second he nodded his head. He took a breath and turned back to his closet. Bending over, he opened a drawer, I had never seen him opening before. "Alright I can remember that", He pulled a black case out of that drawer and turned around to face me again. "If at any point you uncomfortable or you want me to stop remember to say it", He added.I swallowed hard at his words but a voice in the back of my mind was screaming, we wouldn't need it and dancing eagerly for what was coming next. However
"God I love watching you squirm", He admitted. Cool air met my skin when his hands stopped roaming over my body. I was acutely aware of him reaching down for the wand he tossed between my legs."Now, I know I said I was going to make you cum. Specifically that I was going to make you cum over and over again until you begged me to stop and even when you do, I won't stop", I heard the soft sound of vibrations again. "You might even hate me at the end of it",I remembered his wicked promise. Though when he said those words this morning, I never could have known this was in store for me."I won't", I licked my lips and took a deep breath. "I won't hate you, Aleksander. I trust you",The silence stretched for a moment before the bed suddenly dipped at my side. Aleksander's mouth captured mine before I could say anything else. His lips forced mine apart and his tongue caressed mine. With the blindfold on, I couldn't see him and the kiss became sloppy and crude but I didn't want him to stop
His tongue licked up my chest and across my nipple as he tortured my clit. Before I knew it I was climaxing again.""Aleksander, oh my goodness", I screamed out loudly as I fought against my cuffs on my wrists but i got nowhere."You know baby, I really can't get over seeing you cum. It's amazing really. I don't think I will ever get tired of that sight", True to his devilish promises Aleksander made me cum again. Again and again.Touching my body and kissing me between each one lick. Only seconds to come down from my high of release before he was making me climb that peak all over again. I might have started to hate him a little by the time but I lost count. Even then, he didn't stop."Please stop it feels too much.... too much....", I panted and huffed through my ragged breath. He was overstimulating me and making me feel things I wouldn't have without him. But I didn't want him to stop, not really. I wanted to know more about him."Not yet. You not done yet", Aleksander ground out
My body began to shake and thrash but I couldn't go anywhere. This orgasm washed through me from head to toe and lit me up inside like an explosion. Even with the blindfold on, I saw stars behind my eyes and screamed at the top of my lungs."And I'm going to get one more out of you, one more baby", He was still drilling into me furiously but when that wand pressed into my clit again, I wanted to curse him.Maybe I did hate him now.My brain melted and my body caught on fire. "Aleksander! Ah! No!", My hips spasmed as if I was trying to get away from him as I came again. This time something built up and i released with it. "Oh! God!", I inhaled heavily. "Oh! Fuck yes", Aleksander roared and I heard the wand thump onto the floor as he tossed it away. His hands went back to my hips and he pumped into me harder and faster until when he shot his load into me. There were several long moments of silence, filled only by the sounds of our heavy breathing. My body was melting into the comforter
"Okay", Her hands went for the clasp behind her neck and she set the necklace on the dresser. She kept her eyes on her hands as I popped open the velvet box."What?", She whispered when she saw the delicate white gold chain. "A?", Her eyes snapped back to me as she realized she was going to be wearing my initial. "You belong to me Rhea. This will be my mark on you tonight", My initial hanging from her slender neck to show the world who possessed her. Rhea swallowed hard and I could see her pulse racing under her soft skin. I enjoyed having this reaction on her. She stood perfectly still as I stepped behind her and clasped the necklace in place. The A sat perfectly just under the base of her throat. The chain was almost tight enough to be a collar on her and I thought that the comparison was appropriate.I held her shoulders and turned her to face the mirror. Her small hands rose to trace the shape the necklace and her head tilted as she examined the reflection. "It's lovely. Thank yo
It was a short ride through the city to get to Makalov incorporated main building. The crowd outside was bustling ad employees and guests made their way inside. The city was dark but the building lights were nearly blinding. Cars honked and chatter was loud. After taking in everything that was happening, I needed a cigarette at the end.Rhea kept her hand in mine as we got out of the car. Her brilliant eyes were taking in the crowd and the building towering over us, easily one of the largest on this block. I pulled my hand away for a second to get out my smokes and light one before we go inside. Rhea scrunched her face up as I took a long drag but she went back to people watching. It wasn't long before someone in the crowd noticed me. Employees of Makalov. Inc began waving and gesturing for me to join them as they moved inside and out of the slight chill in the air. "Do you work with them?", Rhea whispered after I put out the cigarette. "No", I tugged her close and wrapped my arm aro
By the time we left the ballroom, I was half pissed and half turned on. Rhea wanted me to fuck her now and i wasn't letting anyone get in my way of pleasing her. At the top of the stairs on the right side , I led Rhea around several turns into a darkened part of the building where the music of the ballroom faded away.I knew this part of the building was being worked on and no one would come this way. I took her as far as I could before turning to grab her. "Whoa!", She yelped when i wrapped up my fingers around her arm and pulled her into the dark alcove that used to be a waiting room with two gold and red armchairs.But I didn't need to do anything. Rhea got her barings and before i could make my move, she was wrapping her arms around my neck and started to kiss me. I moaned into her mouth and smiled against her lips knowing that she was the one taking the lead. "Ah! Alexander", She sighed when I grabbed her ass and massaged her through the silk of her dress. Her body pressed again
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
