Had she caused more harm, I would have been there, supporting her. I would have held her hands as she inflicted her cuts.
But this wasn't her burden to bear.
I understood Rebecca. Pulling the trigger had demanded every ounce of her strength and hatred. Yet, the act of killing, that wasn't the essence of my angel.
"Allow me to be your monster. Permit me to kill on your behalf, my angel."
No words had rung truer than those. Each word was a vow. I was hers. I would take life for her. It was a promise, one I had fulfilled before, was carrying out now, and would continue to fulfill in the future.
ARTEMYBernadette affectionately ruffled his hair, offering him a tender smile. In that fleeting instant, I recognized that her smile was reserved exclusively for him."He's under my protection, my tutelage," Bernadette clarified. "Once he's ready, I'll send him to you. He'll be flawless, I assure you."Brayden, Leon, and Avim exchanged surprised glances, yet none dared to voice their thoughts.Shifting her focus to Raffaele, advanced purposefully. "Remember him? Three years ago, you annihilated his family. You left him scarred. His survival was not part of your plan."Raffaele's eyes widened as he scrutinized the youn
REBECCAThe gentle creak of the door being pushed open roused me from my slumber, coaxing me out of the realm of dreams and into the waking world.There, in the dimly lit room, Artemy's figure materialized by the bedside. While shrouded in darkness, he wasn't invisible to me; I sensed his presence keenly, as if attuned to his very essence.His hand didn't reach out to touch me, an action I had anticipated, a caress I had hoped for, but it never came. Artemy hovered in silence, while I feigned sleep, my eyes sealed shut in anticipation.A subtle shift in the atmosphere betrayed his m
REBECCAHe stood before me, his back turned, aware of my entrance yet immobile. His hands pressed against the cool bathroom walls, his head bowed in quiet torment. The shirt he wore earlier was discarded, damp patches the telltale signs of something amiss.My eyes traced the water cascading around him, rivulets carving paths through his skin. Stripping off my dress, it pooled on the floor, my gaze then drawn to his abandoned shirt – black, a hue that seemed synonymous with him.My lips moistened involuntarily as I noticed the dampness, though not of water. I couldn't discern the color, but a sinking realization painted a vivid image in my mind: blood.Surprisingly, di
REBECCAWith his hips now moving in sync with my hand, Artemy's control was slipping. He entwined his fingers with mine, amplifying the grip around his hardness. Our gazes locked, and I inhaled sharply at the primal intensity in his eyes.My own body pulsed with need, my breasts tender with longing beneath the weight of his gaze."Like this," he demanded hoarsely, guiding our hands to a more rapid and fervent rhythm. He relinquished my hand, allowing me to take over.His hips surged as he thrust into my hand. My thumb continued its swirling motion, spreading his pre-cum along his length.He groaned, the tension building within him
ARTEMYI descended the stairs, finding Brayden and Avim waiting for me on the landing. Their expressions were laden with contemplation, mirroring my own anticipation.With a nod in their direction, I proceeded towards the basement, their presence close on my heels."They've lost a significant amount of blood," Brayden's voice joined me as he walked alongside."It's inconsequential," I retorted sharply. The idea of their demise stirred a tempest in my mind. My desire for their suffering grew more intense, a craving to see them bleed and writhe in agony."It's doubtful they'll live through the day," I concluded, punctuating my
ARTEMYMy own men found themselves encircled by Raffaele's faction, but their show of force did not intimidate us. Indeed, it should have been Raffaele's men who trembled in fear, given the circumstances. After all, their leader was in my custody.Though fear was evident in their eyes, they had not yet yielded. Nonetheless, that was of little concern; it was only a matter of time before they would kneel before me."Bring him out," I directed Brayden, who complied by opening the car door and extracting Raffaele.In response to their threatening gestures, I clicked my tongue disapprovingly. "You really don't want to go down this path."
REBECCALynda and I found ourselves seated next to each other, creating an atmosphere of companionship despite our divergent activities. While Lynda focused on meticulously painting her toenails a rich shade of deep red, my attempt to immerse myself in a book was an exercise in futility. The words on the page remained distant and indistinct, overshadowed by a persistent preoccupation.My thoughts continually circled back to Artemy.As the internal turmoil painted itself on my expression, Lynda's soft voice interjected, breaking the silence like a fragile whisper. "Rebecca, ease up," she murmured, her attention split between her task and my obvious unease. "I can practically sense the tension radiating from you. It's not good for the little one."
REBECCALynda paused, her laughter erupting in a surprising twist. "I never thought I'd find myself saying this, but I believe I'm starting to like you, you know, quite a bit."Bernadette shook her head, her attention shifting back to me. She gave me an affirming nod before turning to leave."Wait," I called out, a burning question surfacing in my mind."You introduced yourself as Bernadette Loskutov. How did you come by the name Loskutov?" I inquired, my curiosity piqued.Facing me squarely, Bernadette crossed her arms, her demeanor commanding. "The Loskutov name is a privilege bestowed upon a select few. It's reserved for the mo
REBECCAI writhed against his thighs, seeking relief, but he chuckled softly before withdrawing."Such explicit language, my kitten," he chided playfully, his gaze locked on me. "I wonder how best to tame it.""Artemy... I need you.""No, my kitten, the moment is mine now," he declared, a smug grin curving his lips as he gazed down at me.With deliberate purpose, Artemy stepped back, shedding his shirt in a haste that verged on impatience."Shed your dress," his command was clear.Obeying without
REBECCAWith a mere utterance, I tentatively slipped my hand between my thighs. Artemy's gaze flared, and I swallowed audibly. Wetting my lips, I applied a gentle pressure to my center.My back arched involuntarily, a moan escaping me as I began to stimulate my clit. Artemy adjusted his position, his gaze unwavering and intense.A surge of electric pleasure surged through me as I inserted a finger, my chest heaving with each breath as the pressure within me intensified.Thumb circling the sensitive nub, I introduced another finger, my hips responding with a forward thrust. I circled my clit with greater fervor, striving to push myself over the edge.
REBECCAMy pulse quickened as Artemy drew me onto his lap. I nibbled on my lower lip, sensing the warmth rising to my cheeks under his intense gaze. His eyes tracked my every move, their desire seemingly intensifying by the moment. He exuded an undeniable allure at that very instant.Out of my peripheral vision, I caught Lynda's beckoning gesture. "Looks like it's time for our inaugural dance," I murmured softly.Artemy cradled me against his chest, rising from his seat in one fluid motion. He carried me to the dance floor's center and gently placed me on my feet. I draped my arms around his neck, drawing myself closer to him.His hands found my hips as the music started, and we began our dance. T
REBECCARaising my eyes to meet his, my fingertips brushed over his chest, the cadence of his fervent heart beneath them. "This is my pledge to you, Artemy Loskutov. Your love is my anchor, my wellspring of strength. I promise to pour forth my affection from now until eternity's closure. I vow to nurture, to confide in your love, to be what you require, ensuring your emotions are perpetually considered. I pledge to express my love and reverence. I yearn to share my days alongside you. I, Rebecca Cavalieri, commit to embracing you as my husband, to love, honor, console, and cherish you from this day onward. We meld as one, an eternal unity."Savoring the anticipation, I formed my final words. "This vow emerges from the depths of my heart, a pledge to you.""May we
REBECCAMy heart quickened its tempo at the sight that unfolded before me. In that moment, nothing else registered; the entirety of my focus was consumed by the figure stationed at the far end of the aisle.Each step toward Artemy stole my breath away, the journey itself a blur as his gaze anchored me. His eyes, a striking bluish steel hue, bore into me with unwavering intensity, tracing my every movement, my every advance.His attire adhered to his usual black suit, save for the addition of a golden tie. His hair lay sleek against his head, a few days' worth of stubble lending him a rugged allure. I had insisted he forgo shaving, as it heightened his appeal.His eyes remained locked onto mine as
REBECCA"Alright, close your eyes, my dear," Camilla's voice was a gentle whisper, tinged with excitement. I could detect the joy in her tone, and it ignited a matching smile on my face. With a mixture of anticipation and unsteady legs, I complied, shutting my eyes."Are you all set?" Lynda's voice carried an air of eager anticipation."You guys didn't transform me into a clown, did you?" I quipped playfully.Their laughter resonated in the room, eliciting giggles from me. At last, I opened my eyes, blinking as the world before me came into focus. Then, a gasp escaped my lips, involuntary and genuine."You are an absolute vi
REBECCAThree weeks had passed since that pivotal moment. Artemy's arm drew me toward him, enveloping me until I was nestled against his warmth, almost melding into him. His strong arms encircled my waist, and I pressed myself against him, my head finding its place on his shoulder. As if seeking solace, one of my legs draped over his hips, and his grip on my thigh was both firm and possessive.In the cocoon of his embrace, I inhaled his scent, the rhythmic cadence of his heartbeat serenading me. His touch traced indistinct patterns across my back, each stroke a balm to my senses, lulling me into tranquility.Amid this intimate connection, his voice, a soft caress, brushed against my ear, breaking the spell of silence. "Where shall we journey for our honeymoon?" Hi
REBECCAI descended the stairs, greeted by the heartwarming scene of Lynda, Bernadette, and Camilla gathered in the living room. Bernadette's knees were engaged in a rhythmic bounce, Princess nestled on her lap, their interaction an attempt to amuse the small canine companion.As my gaze swept over the tableau, an involuntary smile etched its way across my face. The unexpected sight before me was a testament to the depth of these connections.Aunt Bernadette, the role seemed incongruous at first glance. The transformation was astonishing - Bernadette, once reserved and distant, had evolved into a devoted aunt. This facet of her, while not frequently displayed, radiated a clear and undeniable fondness for Cevia.
REBECCAI roused from slumber to find the expanse of the bed empty beside me, an unexpected void that jolted me into alertness. Swiftly, I elevated myself into a sitting position, my eyes grappling with the persistent morning radiance as I blinked away the remnants of sleep.Emerging from the covers, I navigated my way toward the crib stationed nearby, only to discover it vacant, devoid of the presence I anticipated. My recollection painted a picture of Artemy embarking on his early morning ritual to tend to Cevia. Had they not returned to the comfort of our shared sanctuary?While enveloping myself in a robe, I embarked on a trajectory towards the bathroom, swiftly tending to the ritual of dental hygiene and facial invigoration. With my hair haphazardly ensnared
