ROMAN Lifting my hand, I gently brush my fingers over her thick hair.So this is what it feels like to love a woman with all my heart I love it and hate it at the same time.When she’s in danger, there’s only excruciating pain.And when she’s close by and safe, there’s a peaceful calmness.My eyes drift over her face, touching on the bruises that look much worse today.She’s been through hell.I wish I could erase her memory.I keep brushing my hand over her head, but then she starts to stir and mumbles, “Stop.”As the scream tears from her throat, I sit up in time to catch her when she darts up, her eyes opening wide. Horror fills over her face, making her look pale as fuck.“It’s just a dream,only a dream.” I say as I hold her close.She shakes her head, her breaths not calming down, and breathing fast.Her fingers grip the sweater I’m wearing tightly, her body trembling so much.“You’re safe.” I begin to rock her, moving back and forth slowly,hoping it will help calm down her ne
ROMAN “No, that’s my job,” Dolores replies. “You can go back to bed and get more rest.” She shoots me a serious look. “Don’t keep her here take her upstairs to get some rest.”“thanks , Dolores,” I mutter before I finish the last of my sandwich.Ana gets up and gives Callie’s arm a squeeze before she leaves the kitchen.As soon as she’s gone, Callie locks eyes with me. “How’s she really doing? Because I know she trying to play strong”I shake my head.“I’m not sure. She went through a lot," I tell her keeping it brief to ease her worries"so it will take a while for her to heal and get back to her usual self.”“Did she tell you what happened after they took her?”I nod.“is it really bad?” she asks, looking concerned.Yeah, bad shit.Getting up from my chair, I say, “I’ll let her tell you when she’s ready. Okay?”“Should I be worried?”I shake my head. “not really. She’s very strong.”“Yeah.” She glances in the direction of the stairs, holding herself together. “She is.”“T
ANAI blink Roman as if he’s lost his goddamn mind. When the words sink in, I start to laugh, shaking my head.“It’s way too soon.”“Not for me.”Realizing he’s serious, I stare at him. “Jesus, Roman. We’ve only got married few months ago. Marriage is a serious commitment.”“So?” I give him an incredulous look.With a dead serious expression, he mutters, “It doesn’t matter whether we’re were dating or married because I’m never letting you go, and we have to start trying for kids.”“We can talk about kids at a much later stage,” I say hastily Wiping a hand over my forehead, I mumble, “Now I’ve forgotten what we were talking about.”“You said you’re scared of making changes and talked shit about us divorcing, then I brought up kids, and you freaked out,” he reminds me.“Right.” I let out a sigh, and feeling tired from the intense conversation, I lie downRoman crawls over me and bracing his hands on either side of my head, he locks eyes with me.“You need security, and I want to g
“I’m going to my annex,” Dolores says. “Callie, come help me move some things around the kitchen?”“ Must I ?,” she replies obviously tuned in to the drama between me and Roman.“Come with me so they can have some privacy,” she snaps at her, which has her shooting up from the couch.“Yes, ma’am.”Ana and I watch as they leave the penthouse, then I turn my attention back to my woman.“Please accept the gifts.”She glances at everything on the coffee table, then says, “Okay, but you don’t have to buy me stuff.”“I do. It makes me feel good knowing I’m taking care of you. Let me spoil my wife when and however I want.”Wrapping her arms around my neck, she finally gives up. “Okay.”Excited, I let go of her and pick up the phone. “Want me to set it up for you?”Ana lets out a chuckle as she sits down on the couch. “Please.”I switch the device on, and it takes a few minutes for me to sign Ana into all her apps. When I’m done, I hand it to her.“Thank you,” she whispers as she looks
She stares at me for a long while before looking at her bank balance again.I wait patiently until she murmurs,“What do I do with so much money?”“Whatever you want, give it to charity.” Pulling the phone out of her hold, I set it down on the table beside the couch before focusing all my attention on Ana again.“You can invest some.”“Yes. I have to get it out of my account before someone steals it.”“No one will steal it.”“You sure?”“Yes. Besides, if someone is dumb enough to steal from you, I’ll track the stupid fucker down and get it back before killing him.”Her tongue comes out to wet her lips while her eyes search mine, then she asks,“Have you killed a lot, huh?”Lifting my hand, I brush a couple of her hair strands behind her ear.“Do you really want to know, what goes on?” I retort before she finishes her question.“The Bravta is this whole other side of you that I really don’t know about.”“As I’ve said before, I mostly take care of the hacking and tracking part of thin
ANAHe keeps plunging hard into me.I'm needing somewhere to hold onto before I fall of the bed at the rate which he's going, I grab hold of his ass. It allows me to feel how his muscles tighten with every thrust and releases with every pull, and my ovaries practically explode.“Fuck, Roman,” I whimper from how intense it feels. “Baby, I need–”I’m shoved back against the bed, his grip around my throat tightening until he’s a second away from cutting off my air supply. His other hand grabs my hip, and he hammers hard into me.“Ah,” is the only sound I can make as he sets fire to my pussy with his cock.My body keeps tensing more and more, pleasure threatening to overwhelm me at any moment. It keeps building and building and fucking building until I let out a desperate cry.Roman’s thumb brushes lightly over my clit, and it’s all it takes to make me my body feels tight like it's going to explode like a bomb.The orgasm is so intense I can’t breathe and lose complete control of my
As mama and I returned from the Sol family dinner, I loved going to family dinners, “wait here mi amor let me get your father downstairs so we can eat the leftovers from the party,” I watched her walk away.Few minutes later she came back. I ran upstairs trying to know what happened when I saw it. Mama passed me with a Gun in hand and rosary around her neck, she reached for her bedroom When she entered, my father was screwing another woman.“So I’ll be dead by the holidays, cabrón?”She shouted as he was, scrambling from the bed to his feet, naked. “Maria! I can explain everything!” Dad shouted back as his accent shifted from British to Southern mid-sentence. He pulled on his pants, and she let him. “Please, calm down! And for goodness’ sake, put the pistol away.”Lightning flared, matching her mood. I finally understood the phrase “seeing red.” because that was my mother’s eyes at that moment.She pointed the gun at the woman frozen on the bed. “Who the hell is she?”Papa raised
As I rode the elevator to the penthouse of the exclusive hotel Furtan —it’d taken two people to help me get to the last floor of the hotel .—I chewed on a fingernail remembering it cost a lot to get them done. I stopped.Was I really about to let some strange man have sex with me? For money?The elevator arrived too quickly, forcing me onto a private hallway with an elegant sitting area. An open newspaper lay on a coffee table, as if someone had recently left.The entry was just in front of me . Could I bring myself to ring the bell?Apparently, this penthouse was one of the largest and the most expensive (thirty-two thousand —a night) in Miami, Florida. Who in their right mind would spend that much money on a hotel? Clearly my first client was loco (crazy).I did not know much about them except the fact that he was a Russian businessman and he had been vouched for by another escort organization. He used escorts a lot because of his tastes. So he was an expert in escorts.As I was abo

ANAAfter I slept like the dead, I was checked by the doctor and allowed to go home.Home, AKA Roman’s safehouse.I wonder how Callie reacted when she saw the place.Probably the same as me, totally overwhelmed, the place was bigger that the old house.Earlier, Roman left to go and get his car and my clothes while I had breakfast.Roman’s a mafia boss.You’d think I’d be running for the hills, but here I am, sitting in the passenger side of his BMW as he drives us home.Before shit went down, Roman was this perfect man, and honestly, it bothered me a little. but since he got me back he has been tending to my every need.. I didn’t feel good enough to be with him, because of the drugs.I’ve seen his dark side, and in that moment when he killed the men holding me captive, I fell in love with him all over again.Roman has blood on his hands. He’s not as perfect as I first thought, but instead, he’s perfect for me. He might be rich, and I’m okay with that, but we’re no longer worlds ap
ANAI hear Roman’s voice as he calls the nice old lady that cleans the house to let her know about Callie so she can get a room ready for her.I didn’t even argue when Roman said we’d be moving with him to a safe house.I’m still thinking about the last few horrible days .Curled up beneath the covers.I watch as he sits down on the armchair beside my bed and removes his boots and his gun holsters. Standing up, he pulls the two guns from behind his back like they are an extension of his body to guns. I’d forgotten they were tucked into his waistband.He places them on the bedside table, and leaning over me, he presses a kiss to my temple, while whispering, “Move up, Zolotse.” I shift back a bit and lift the covers so he can climb beneath them. When he lies down, he wraps an arm around me and positions my body half over his filling me with heat.Melting into the feel of his warmth, I let out a sigh.This is why I didn’t argue about moving with him.I feel safe and loved.He keeps
ROMAN “It’s all I had. I buried the metal rod in his eye,” she mumbles, her fingers twisting in the fabric of the covers.“She can be your bodyguard after that, Roman,” the fucker says. “Continue, Ana.”“I never heard any names. We were kept on the boat for a day before being moved to the house.”“Did you see tattoos?” Sergei shoots another question her way.She thinks for a moment, then answers, “They wore warm clothes, but one of the men had a leaf on his neck with an V.”Sergei rises to his feet and surprises the fuck out of me when he comes to give Ana’s shoulder a squeeze.“You did good, Ana. Get some rest.” Turning his attention to me, he says, “I’ll give you a day to be with her then you have to get to work. I want them found.”“Got it,” I reply and watch as he leaves the room.“What does the V represent?” Eden asks, her tone soft.“The drug dealers who took you work for Vladamir,” I explain.She nods, her eyes looking shocked spearing on my chest. Her features tighten,
