chapter 002

STEFANO

' I want you to fuck me'

The words went straight to my groin.

I should have known something was off when Igor Sidorov offered to give me his second daughter in place of Nina.

Nina Sidorov would have made the perfect mafia bride, the one who wouldn't speak unless she was asked to, she would have been ideal but boring.

The moment I saw Anastasia's picture, I knew she was different, from her fiery red hair and her cat-like green eyes, I knew she was nothing but trouble.

" I'm waiting"

Anastasia's sultry voice brought me back to the present, without preamble, she slammed her lips against mine, the kiss was electrifying and all-consuming, sending a jolt of arousal straight to my cock, as her lips moved tentatively against mine, I wanted nothing more than to devour her whole.

Her cheeks were flushed and rosy when she broke the kiss, I noticed the way she stumbled and I scooped her into my arms, her legs wrapped around my back, underneath her sheer silk gown, her taut nipples brushed against my chest.

" Fuck me hottie"

She breathed raspily against my neck.

" What if your boyfriend shows up and tries to kill me "

I decided to tease her even though my blood was boiling.

" I don't have a boyfriend"

Anastasia rolled her eyes languidly.

" Just some old geezer I'm getting married to tomorrow"

My wife-to-be has no idea of who I am and she's throwing herself at me the night before our wedding.

Me! An old geezer.

Igor Sidorov didn't think it was important to let his daughter know anything about me, if he had done so, Anastasia wouldn't have made dared to make this stupid move.

" He was betrothed to my sister but when she disappeared, he readily accepted when I was offered in exchange for her, if he thinks I'm going to be a submissive docile bride, he's fucking wrong! when he wants to consummate our wedding tomorrow, I want him to find your cum dripping out of my cunt"

Fuck!

What if I hadn't come here tonight, would she have ended up with someone else or worse, those two fuckers, I made a mental note to deal with them later, no one touches what belongs to me.

I gripped her by the throat before smashing my lips onto hers, a soft moan escaped her lips as I pressed my hand into her thigh, yanking her white cotton panties aside, I pushed a finger into her pussy, it was wet, swollen, and very much ready for me.

Anastasia quivered as my fingers played with her clit, before thrusting them in and out of her pussy.

" F.. fuck..d.don't fucking stop"

I hid the dangerous smirk on my face, I'll give my little rebel what she wants, tonight I'll be the 'hot stranger' but tomorrow, I'll show her how brutal and terrifying I can be.

*******

ANASTASIA

I couldn't breathe as I prepared to walk down the aisle, Nina was a few inches thinner than me and her wedding dress was suffocatingly tight, It was yet another reminder of how much of a sham this wedding was going to be.

Maxim had brought me home last night, sneaking me in so no one would find out I was gone.

Despite how drunk I was, I could remember each kiss, thrust, and all the dirty things the stranger did to my body last night, just thinking about it made my pussy throb with need.

I've had my night of freedom but a part of me still hopes I'll wake up from this nightmare, that Nina will return and be the one to walk down the aisle but I know none of it is going to happen, I had seen Nina's letter, she would rather flee to the ends of the earth than to marry Stefano De Luca.

My eyes scanned the hall for an exit even as the monster walked me down the aisle, his fingers digging sharply into my skin.

" If you don't keep walking, I'll inform someone to break his legs"

He threatened in a low tone.

I sucked in a harsh breath, my eyes landing on Alexei, my eleven-year-old brother holding a bouquet as he grinned sheepishly at me.

Alexei was born with Down syndrome, making him different from other kids, the monster had always regarded him as a stain on his image but Alexei had always been my sunshine, I'll do anything to make sure he's always smiling.

Pushing back the lump in my throat, I continued walking, ignoring the whispers from the crowd about how a vixen like me is unworthy of marrying into the De Luca family.

Some even said out loud that there wouldn't be any blood on the sheets when I and Stefano consummate our marriage.

Well, fuck them!

I just wanted this ceremony to be over so I could remove this dress.

As the monster placed my hand in my groom's hand, a jolt of electricity sparks through me and my eyes fly open.

My legs threatened to give away as my eyes landed on the man standing before me, the handsome stranger I had sex with last night was Stefano De Luca.

No! I had to be hallucinating, perhaps the universe was playing a cruel joke on me.

" You're disappointed to find out I'm not the old geezer you imagined "

Stefano mumbled.

Gone was the humor I had seen in his eyes last night, it was all replaced with coldness, even though he was dressed in a suit and tie, the dangerous aura surrounding him couldn't be suppressed.

I tried to speak but I couldn't even form words, he had known who I was while we fucked last night, and just thinking about it left a bitter taste in my mouth, if I had known he was Stefano De Luca, I wouldn't have given him my virginity, I would have chosen someone else.

Last night made me feel like I was in control, like I had the power to change one last thing but now I felt powerless.

" Do you, Anastasia Sidorov take Stefano De Luca to be your lawfully wedded husband, in poverty and riches, in sickness and health, till death do you part"

The priest asked.

' I don't!'

The words almost escaped my lips.

" I do"

I muttered instead and Stefano did the same.

" With the power invested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride"

" We don't have to.

Before I could finish, Stefano gripped me by the waist, slamming his lips against mine, it was nothing like the kiss we shared last night, his tongue forced my lips open, plundering my mouth with a savage intensity that made me weak in the knees.

" There's no need to act shy over a simple kiss when you were begging for my cock last night"

Stefano whispered in a tone only the two of us could hear.

Rage coursed through my bones and I sunk my teeth into his lip, biting so hard until I tasted his blood in my mouth.

" If I had known who you were last night, I'd have fucked a pig instead"
