Nicolai's words sent a thrill through her body, and she felt herself growing wet at the promise in his tone. He began trailing feathery kisses along her jawline, his hands still firmly grasp hers, and then his lips were on hers, possessive and hungry. Alessia melted against him. Her hands trapped in one of his large, callused palms, she could only lean forward trying to feel more of him.As Nicolai's tongue stroked hers, taking control and thrusting slowly, she moaned against his mouth. He tasted of expensive liquor and something darker, something that was purely him flooded her tongue as Alessia surrendered to the kiss. she felt his other hand snaking under her scrub top to spread wide against her stomach before pulling the cotton over her head.Breaking away from the kiss, breathless and dazed, as the fabric past between them. She shuddered at the thought of what was to come."Let's take this somewhere more private, yes?" Nicolai's voice was deep and husky, his eyes burning into hers

Alessia's pulse quickened as she watched Nicolai's skilled fingers traced the outline of the plug, his touch sending shivers along her nerve endings. She felt a slow heat building within her, a mix of anticipation and desire that made her wet.Gently, Nicolai applied a slick substance to the toy, the cool gel contrasting with the warmth of his touch. On her hands and knees, the sheets slipping against her skin as she fisted them in her fingers, preparing for something she wasn't sure she was ready for.Nicolai must have sensed her uncertainty because he gave her a dark, reassuring smile. "You will take everything I give you, Alessia. I will be gentle, but you will feel every inch. All of your body is mine."With expert precision, Nicolai guided the tip of the butt plug inside her, his movements slow and deliberate. Alessia's breath hitched as the smooth object stretched her, filling her in a way that was both foreign and exhilarating."Easy, moya krasavitsa," he murmured, his voice low

As their relationship deepened, Nicolai found himself grappling with unfamiliar emotions. The fierce protectiveness he felt for Alessia went beyond anything he'd experienced before. He caught himself thinking of her during meetings, wondering what she was doing, if she was safe. He wanted everything for her. It both thrilled and terrified him.One evening, as Nicolai sat in his study reviewing reports, Sergei entered with a grim expression. "Boss, we've got a problem. I've been hearing whispers about Dmitri."Nicolai's jaw clenched at the mention of his half-brother's name. Their history was complicated and bitter. When their father had shown up at Nicolai's mother's funeral when he was 20 and recognized Nicolai as his son, Dmitri had at first seemed to be happy to have a little brother. The novelty quickly wore off, however, and the resentment had taken over and had now festered for years, even after Nicolai moved his operations to the US. His brother was a dangerous and unstable man.

Nicolai couldn't help but smile as he approached the chair where Alessia had obviously fallen asleep. The book that had dropped from her hands onto the thick carpet was facedown, its title Twisted Shifters – Four Twisted Romances. One Very Good Time. He picked it up and flipped through the pages, chuckling. Cursed Dildos and AI that came alive indeed. A faint blush dusted her cheeks from the warmth of the fire and he imagined her reading the steamy passages, lost in a world of make-believe lovers.As he settled into the matching chair across from her, he studied her face in the firelight. Her features were relaxed, her eyes gentle beneath long lashes, unlike the intense gaze she fixed on him when awake. The stress lines that so often creased her forehead and the corners of her mouth were absent, giving way to a peacefulness he hadn't often seen. Her lips were slightly parted, and he imagined the softest of sighs escaping them as she dreamed.Alessia's hair was splayed across the armre

Alessia sighed contentedly as Nicolai carefully lowered her into the deep tub, the warm water enveloping her sore muscles. She felt him behind her, his strong fingers working the kinks from her shoulders and back, and she leaned into his touch, reveling in the familiarity of his hands on her skin."This feels amazing," she murmured, closing her eyes and letting the stress of the past few weeks melt away."You're amazing," Nicolai replied, his breath warm against her ear. "Stronger than you know."Alessia's cheeks warmed at the compliment, and she turned her head to capture his lips in a soft kiss. "Thank you. For everything. I know this can't be easy for you, keeping me close while dealing with your brother."Nicolai's hands paused, and she felt his body tense. "It's my job to protect you," he said, his voice strained. "No one will hurt you, Alessia. Not while I'm alive."She turned in the large soaking tub to face him, gripping his wrists. "You're scaring me, Nicolai. What's going on
