Completing Beauty: Books 1-3

by Stella Andrews

  We reach our bedroom and I say nothing and grind her lips to mine. I want to taste every inch of the beauty I own; mind, body and soul and I want to make it up to her. Standing back, I say with a wicked glint in my eye, “Get naked.”

  She blushes and I love the innocence in her as I sit on the bed and watch. Her embarrassment needs to be dealt with because I will not have her feeling uncomfortable around me.

  Slowly she edges out of her clothes and I see the desire making her shiver in anticipation. I admire the shapely body of my woman because it’s obvious she is all I will ever need, or want in life.

  Then I stand and approach her and without taking my eyes off her, say thickly, “Undress me.”

  She swallows hard and yet does my bidding, and the feeling of her light touch makes me hard for her the minute I feel her hands on me.

  Soon we are both naked and I say firmly, “Come, we will shower together.”

  I take her hand and lead her to the bathroom and turn on the warm jets. As the spray hits our bodies, I take the soap and rub it in my hands until the lather forms and then carefully soap her entire body, paying attention to every inch of her perfect skin. She gently moans and I smile. So ready and willing, how I love that sound. As I pay special attention to the place she surrendered to me, she shivers and I whisper, “What do you want, little bird?”

  Her eyes open and she looks a little unsure but the intensity of my expression causes her to smile and she says breathlessly, “Fuck me, sir.”

  She smiles like the innocent with the mouth of a whore, and I love that she has recognized this side of me. Yes, I am one dominant bastard and love a willing woman who likes to play and so I say firmly, “On your knees.”

  She drops to the floor and I hand her the soap and she takes it and rubs it between the palms of her hand and washes my cock softly and yet with a pressure that makes me even harder. Then I growl, “Show me that you learned the lesson I taught you.”

  She whimpers and the sound of it causes me great pleasure as she takes my cock in her mouth and sucks it softly at first and then with more pressure. Gently, I rock back and forth and love the sight of her at my feet, on her knees and serving me so obediently. Yes, I knew she was perfect.

  The jets of water create even more steam and I pull her back and up off her feet. Then I kneel before the goddess I love and repay the favor, gently teasing her until she opens up to me like a flower. Her taste is one of pure heaven and I could worship her all day but there is an urgent need in me that I need to address, so I stand and lift her, so her legs wrap around me and hold her hard against the shower wall. Then I kiss that tempting mouth and bite her swollen lips and lose my mind.

  She groans against my lips and I growl, “Lesson number 5, shower sex.”

  Then I ease inside her sweet folds and love the way she clenches around my cock and welcomes me in. I rock against her, loving the friction and the warm jets of water that fuel my desire. Her body is slick and wet and slaps against mine as I pin her to the wall. I up my pace and she begins to moan and tremble in my arms and as I pump harder her eyes close and she groans loudly, “Fuck me, Tobias, that feels so good.”

  “Look at me.” I command her and she obeys and her eyes snap open and she stares into mine with a trust mixed with lust and it drives me crazy. She gasps as I hammer home and as I feel her walls clench around my cock, her screams are loud and music to my ears. She pants and as my wife comes apart around me, I roar like a lion as I shoot my seed and fill her completely.

  She slumps against me and I carry her from the shower, grabbing a towel as we pass the heated rail and wrap it around her quivering body. Then I carry her to the enormous bed and lay her gently down before taking my place beside her. As I stroke her hair, I whisper, “I want to renegotiate our contract.”

  Her eyes snap open in alarm and I smile. “I want you to cease taking the contraception, we have no use for it.”

  “You mean…”

  I nod. “I want a family, little bird, and I want it with you. I want to see my seed planted in your belly and watch it grow. I want to create a new life and make it a much better one than we both had and I want to do it again and again and again.”

  “Really?” Her eyes are wide and I kiss her softly on the lips. “And again, and again.”

  She says in alarm, “Stop, you’re scaring me.”

  I laugh and she leans forward and kisses me softly, “When do we start?”

  “Right now.”

  I kiss her passionately and she responds immediately.

  I feel her hands clawing my back and it arouses the beast in me. Holding her wrists in one hand, I raise them above her head and growl, “No touching.” I love the fact she bites her bottom lip and shivers, and as I begin my explorations, she wiggles underneath me and begins to pant.

  I suck each breast, running my tongue around the tip, and she shudders beneath my tongue. Then I burn a trail to her wet and slippery pussy that is throbbing with need. I run my tongue against her clit and she moans and then I gently suck, applying the pressure until she gasps. “I’m going to come.”

  Immediately, I draw back and growl, “Not until I say so.”

  Her eyes open and I grin. “I haven’t finished with you yet.”

  Spinning her around until she’s on her front, I gently massage her back and love the way her skin feels under my touch. Then I gently nip her neck and kiss every inch of her perfect skin. When I reach her ass, I love the way it stands pert and full, like a luscious peach ready for the tasting. I take a bite and she groans louder and as I slip my fingers inside her, she bucks against them as I search for her sweetest spot.

  The control I have over this woman turns me on and I edge my cock against her crease and she gasps, “Relax, little bird, we have a few more lessons before I go there.” I gently rub between her cheeks and my cock throbs hard, desperate for release. Pulling her back so that delectable ass is in the air, I whisper, “I’m going to enter you from behind.”

  “But…”

  “Not there, but it will feel different, tighter, a little painful perhaps, do you trust me, little bird?”

  “Yes.” Her voice is husky and so full of need, I smile to myself. Yes, I have many lessons to teach my willing student and so I ease her back onto my cock and groan as she slides onto my shaft like nature intended. As I said, she feels tight and it must burn.

  “Does it hurt?”

  “A little.”

  I rock gently back and forth and play with her clit to stimulate her juices and she groans louder. “That feels so good.”

  As my balls slap against her ass, I feel the pressure build once more and as she screams louder than before, I shoot hard and fast and groan so loudly they must hear us on the next block.

  As our sweat runs and cements us together, I can’t ever remember feeling this happy. Maybe there’s something in love after all. I know that now I’ve found it, I will do everything in my power to hold on to it.

  Chapter 40

  Tobias

  Leaving Ana to sleep, I edge from the bed and shower and dress. There is unfinished business I need to attend to, and if I am to move on with my life, there’s one thing that I need to do first.

  As usual, Matteo appears as soon as my foot hits the last stair and he nods. “He’s waiting for you.”

  We walk from the house and the car is waiting as I knew it would be and we leave my house behind and head to the farm.

  On the way, Matteo brings me up to speed. Todd’s family are checked out of hospital and doing well. We sent a car and arranged a first-class flight to take them home. Money has been deposited in their account meaning they will never worry about it again and the mortgage on their house has been paid off. I have arranged a counselor for them to help them through their dark memories and hope to God those kids grow up with none of the trauma I had to deal with.

  All that remains is their father and the man that caused their world to blow apart alongside mine.

  By the
time we reach the farm, my mind is set. I will do what’s necessary for my family past and present, and it will be the last time.

  We head into the large open space and I see both men tied to chairs, set a little apart from each other.

  Two of my enforcers stand behind each one and a tray of instruments are set up a short distance away.

  As I nod, the enforcer behind Todd removes his blindfold and as his eyes adjust to the harsh light directed on him, he starts to shake as she sees my expression.

  “Please, tell me, are they safe, my family, please I have to know?”

  I nod. “They are.”

  He breaks down and sobs. “Thank God.”

  Then I nod to the enforcer behind Carlos and he does the same and Carlos blinks in much the same way and then sneers. “Well, look who finally showed up, the big man himself. You know, I hoped it would be you.”

  “For what reason?”

  “Because I want to see the look in your eye as you do what you are trained to do. You are a fucking cold-blooded killer and your soul will rot in hell alongside mine. You may hold all the cards in the end but you will have to live with it your whole life.”

  Taking a chair, I sit astride it and shrug. “Who said I was going to do anything?”

  He sneers. “I know you. You slaughtered my family for revenge to repay the favor. Of course, you are going to kill me, I’m the one you hated all along.”

  “You think? You have a very inflated opinion about your own importance.”

  Carlos laughs wickedly. “Keep telling yourself that, Tobias. We both know you’re loving every minute of this.”

  I turn to Matteo and say, “Release Todd.”

  Todd looks wary and says fearfully, “Please, I meant no harm, my family.”

  “What about your family? Are they more important than mine? Did you think of my poor sister and what she was going to face when you betrayed my family? That is the worst crime of all in my eyes because you chose them over this family and for what? For nothing. They have suffered at his hands and when they were found your kids were so traumatized they needed hospitalization. Your wife was battered and bloodied and a victim of rape.”

  Todd’s roar of pain drowns out my words and I nod to the enforcer who grabs him and holds his arms behind his back as I advance toward him and sneer, “You sealed your fate the moment you betrayed me. You should have come to me with this, but you took matters in your own hand. This animal controlled you, and you were like a puppet in his hands. Now you will repay your debt to me and my family.”

  He begins to shake and the enforcer drops him to his knees before me and holds his head back, exposing his throat and as I take a knife from the table, I hold it against his skin and the fire in my eyes causes him to cry like a baby as he sobs. “Please, I beg you.”

  As the blade touches his skin and draws blood, his eyes are wide as I say darkly, “The instrument of death but whose?”

  He looks at me wildly as I turn to Carlos who is trying to look brave but I can tell by his eyes he sees the madness in mine. “You see, Carlos, I don’t consider you worthy of my attention. I slaughtered your family in exchange for mine. I hunted them down and stole from you what they stole from me. An eye for an eye, you know how it goes. But Sophia survived. She was found with just the trauma of what you put her through to live with. You don’t deserve to die at my hand because I don’t want to see your face when I close my eyes at night. I don’t want your death on my conscience because you don’t deserve another second of my time and I don’t want to even think of you in the future, so I will allow the man who owes me the most to live with that pain instead of me.

  Carlos shouts, “No, I won’t be slaughtered by the hired help. I am better than that, I deserve more.”

  “Only you believe that, Carlos, because you were never the big man you thought you were. You are nothing and always were. Why should I care what you want? It’s what I want that counts and I want to watch Todd cut you into pieces, before my eyes. Remember, just like you did to my brother. With every slice of that blade, I want to relish your pain. With every drop of blood spilled, I want to watch it fall and remember the blood that was spilled in the name of revenge. I want to bury the past alongside you and walk away from it because I have a future Carlos and you do not. Was it all worth it, I doubt it? Is any of this worth a lifetime of pain? No, it’s not. So, it ends now and Todd will finish what we started all those years ago because he has a debt to repay and this is how he will pay it.”

  I turn to Todd and he visibly shakes because he may have worked for my family, but this is a step too far even for him.

  I lean toward him and hiss, “Take the knife and do what I ask. Slowly and with menace because you owe it to your family to step up and do what’s right. That man terrorized your family and raped your wife. He had them drugged and chained up like animals and he beat the shit out of her. She was hanging there like a piece of meat and all because you were weak. Don’t be that man now and finish the job, so you can face your family and know you revenged them.”

  He looks at me in astonishment. “You mean, I do this and I’m spared?”

  I nod. “You do this and you walk away, your debt repaid. You will be free to go and never look back because I never want to see your traitorous face again as long as I live.”

  I hand him the knife and see the resignation in his eyes. Then he turns to Carlos, who shouts, “What the fuck, no, not him. Not a low-life foot soldier, you bastard.”

  Once again, I take my seat and smile. “I think I’m going to enjoy watching you die, Carlos. It must be a strange feeling, dying alone with no one to mourn the fact you’ve gone. It must hurt to know you were cut up like an animal and we watched while you screamed through the pain and it must hurt to know you weren’t worth my time because you are nothing, Carlos, never were and never will be.”

  I turn to Todd and say darkly, “Now do it and make sure it’s slow and painful.”

  As I use one man against the other, I make myself watch every flick of that knife. I harden my heart to the sounds of a man dying in the most extreme agony. With every scream and every drop of blood spilled, I think of my family and what they must have suffered that day, and I remember a past I never wanted any part of. It takes Todd fifty minutes to kill Carlos. He retches and passes out several times, and each time the enforcer brings him back to finish the job. Alongside me, Matteo and my other enforcer stand silently watching, as the one remaining part of the puzzle completes the picture.

  It’s over and I am never going back to that dark place in my mind.

  As Carlos takes his last breath, Todd falls to his knees and sobs uncontrollably, bathed in the blood of his biggest mistake. I stand and walk away with no more words spoken because I have none. It’s done and there is only one thing left to do.

  Anastasia

  Two weeks Later

  * * *

  “Are you done?”

  I hear Tobias and look up to see him standing in the doorway looking so hot I almost forget we have a job to do.

  “I think so.”

  I look at the cases packed up all around me and smile. “How long will we be away?”

  “Who knows?”

  “Are you sure about this? The house and everything.”

  He heads toward me and takes me in his arms. “Absolutely.”

  As he kisses me softly, I feel a sudden burst of love for my husband.

  It’s been exactly two weeks since we returned from the Reapers and a lot has changed in a very short time.

  Today we are heading back to the hideaway and will be there for a while. When we are gone, this house will be knocked to the ground and then work starts on rebuilding it bigger and better and with more of the modern conveniences that make life easier.

  In the meantime, we are staying at the hideaway and then sailing around the world on the Island Star. Tobias is giving me what I wanted the most and leaving everything behind to take a much-needed
vacation.

  “How long do you think we’ll be away?”

  “A year perhaps.”

  “And you’re happy with that?”

  “Of course, we need to start our new life, little bird and when we return, it will be to a new beginning and hopefully, we will not be alone.”

  He rubs my stomach and I grin. Yes, the pills were banished to the trash and now we just have to wait for nature to take its course. If it happens sooner, we will return and find a temporary home until this one is ready. Then we will begin our life as a family and I can’t wait.

  “I love you.”

  I look up at him and stroke his face gently and his hand snaps over mine, holding it there. His eyes soften and he whispers, “I love you too, little bird. You have given me so much—you saved me and I will never stop repaying you for that.”

  He kisses me softly and then with an urgency that makes me smile. Yes, our trip will have to wait a little longer because we have something much more important to do first.

  Much later, we finally step into the middle car for the last time outside this magnificent house. Mrs. Billings steps into the one behind and Matteo takes up his seat in the passenger seat beside the driver. As usual, we travel with quite the entourage and I have grown to accept this is how we must live.

  However, Tobias has done the unthinkable and handed over the running of his underground operation to Matteo and is stepping back to take a year off. Sergio Bellini will continue to run his legitimate businesses, and Tobias will be kept updated electronically and via the phone. He has decided to travel with me for a year, and I can’t believe he did that for me.

  “Have you heard news of Sophia?”

  He sighs heavily and settles back in his seat.

  “Still the same. She won’t leave the Reapers and they are fine with that.”

  “Do you worry about her?”

  He nods. “Of course, but I have to give her some space. She’s in the right hands and I know she’s safe. When she is ready, I will drop everything to bring her home, whenever that will be.”
