The Russian's Captive (The Captive Series Book 2)

by Steele, C. M.

  “The plan is for you women to go back to the house and play with little Luci and make us some food. The men need to have a talk about this alone.”

  “Did I just hear you right?”

  “Amore, don’t start with me. You think I’ve gone soft, Cara? I’m still who I was before we met. You’ll do as I say, or you’ll catch some shit. Understood?”

  “Whatever, ass,” she pouted.

  Nikolai and Sergei smirked.

  “You two fucks shouldn’t be laughing. This is what you have to look forward to with this one. You, your day will come,” he pointed to Sergei.

  “Please, you boys love us.” Bianca said.

  “Yes, we do,” Nikolai said as he smiled at Bianca. It was clear to the other passengers that there was something special between the two of them. Even if it made Luciano want to gag.

  Chapter 8

  The moment they walked in Rossi’s mansion, Bianca was taken into her mother’s arms.

  “I’ve missed you, my baby.”

  “I’ve missed you too, Mama.”

  Mrs. Rossi whispered into her ear, “He hasn’t hurt you, has he?”

  “No, not at all,” Bianca said as she gave her mother a glowing smile.

  “Oh my, you two married,” her mother sighed before looking at the three-carat ring and matching band on her daughter’s tiny finger.

  “Yes, about two days after we left.”

  “He wasn’t joking when he told your father and brother that you were his.”

  “He told them that?”

  “Yes, the moment he walked through the door the second time.”

  Bianca couldn’t help the feeling that came over her, and she couldn’t stop smiling despite all the drama surrounding them.

  “Where’s the baby?”

  “He’s in his crib, sleeping.”

  “Ah, man, I wanted to see my little guy. I don’t know what Nikolai is going to do, so I don’t know if we’re staying here or not.”

  “I believe that is what your father wants.”

  The men were off talking in the corner while the girls reconnected. It was a tense conversation, since the elder Rossi was pissed that Nikolai had stolen his daughter away instead of getting permission.

  “Rykov, I’m glad that you brought my daughter back, but the fact that you took her in the first place is the problem.”

  “No, it’s not. I was being generous, and you know it. Your daughter really wasn’t a part of the issue, but I wanted you to believe it. I wanted her, and she moved faster when she thought I was going to end you if she didn’t come with me. She knows the truth, so that is all that matters. What we should be talking about is the fact that Santini wanted you all dead, plus he sent me to prison. I’ve already explained my theory on him, but I still don’t know what Petrov hoped to achieve by ending me.”

  Nikolai and Luciano went over the theory with the Don, and he agreed.

  “It’s very plausible. I thought his interest in Bianca seemed overzealous. I hoped he was just crazy about her, but it seems he’s just crazy. Man, I’ve done wrong by my baby. Excuse me.” The Don walked away and up to his daughter.

  She was pulled from her mother and into her father’s arms. “I’m sorry that we couldn’t risk the situation at the time. I pray that you forgive me, my little girl.”

  “I understood, Father. Besides, Niko has been nothing but wonderful to me.”

  “So Niko it is,” he said with a smile. “That’s what we thought when he took you.”

  “Please don’t be mean to him. Whatever happened, it’s in the past. Just let it go. He’s amazing, and I need him,” Bianca said, warning her father of her affection for her former captor.

  “Bianca, I’m not going to do anything to him. We owed him more than once and after what has happened, we owe him even more, and all he wanted in return from us was you. I know that sounds bad, but he could’ve easily killed us all.”

  “Excuse me, but I need to speak to my wife.” Nikolai pulled her away from her father just like she’d been taken from her mother. She felt she was in a tug of war.

  “He wasn’t trying to get you to leave me, was he?”

  “No, he wasn’t. Actually, he was just apologizing for not doing enough to protect me that night.”

  “Now that you’re here, you don’t want to leave me, do you?”

  “Not at all. I don’t ever want to leave you.”

  “Good, because I’d hate to have to take out your father.”

  “Don’t be dumb. By the way, where are we staying?”

  “Your father wants us to stay here, and for safety purposes, I think it works. I want to see your bedroom.” He winked at her and caressed her face.

  “I look forward to it.”

  They all gathered around for a moment to discuss the arrangements for the night. Bianca was wrapped in her husband’s arms, hoping that things would work out. She didn’t know what made this insanity between them ignite from just a photo, but whatever it was, it was deep. It engulfed her, and her fantasies didn’t even compare to the reality that was her husband, Nikolai Rykov.

  The women were relegated to the baby’s room while the men met in the Don’s study and made their game plan.

  “I’ve got someone tracking Santini’s movement at the airport. I just got a text from him. Sergei read the text. “Santini left for Moscow on a private jet with a group of twenty men, including Petrov.”

  “That’s excellent. That will give us a couple of days at the least to protect the house and get a plan for when he comes,” the Don said.

  “Let’s get you a room, Sergei. Luciano, please take him to the maid and see what room she gave him. Nikolai, I’d like to have a talk with you—alone,” the Don added.

  Luciano and Sergei left the room, leaving the elder man with Nikolai. He had a feeling what this was about and took a seat. There wasn’t anything that her father could say to change his plans with Bianca, unless it was to cut them out of their lives.

  “So, let’s get to business,” Nikolai said.

  “My daughter is precious, and although I’d had no choice in letting her go with you or lose my entire family, I still love her. I can see that you and my daughter truly care for each other. I wanted just to let you know it better stay that way,” the Don warned his son-in-law.

  “I knew Santini wasn’t right for her, but we had no idea that you’d been released. If she’d known, I’m sure she wouldn’t even have given him the time of day. It seems to have been kept a secret from us that you’d been released. Knowing that we’ve had a traitor amongst my men, it’s clear that there have been many things kept from us. What I want from you is honesty. When did you get released from prison, and when did you learn about our supposed involvement?”

  “I love your daughter, and nothing can change that. Your family’s attitude toward us will determine whether I let her see you. As for when I got out, it was six months ago. I didn’t learn who was the orchestrator or supposed one until six weeks ago or so. They brought me a copy of the file I gave you. I was interested in her when I saw her photo in the file.”

  “Thank you for your honesty.” There was a knock at the door before they could talk about a plan. “Come in.”

  “Daddy, I came to steal Niko.” She walked up to Nikolai and kissed his cheek. “Mom said dinner is ready.”

  “We’ll continue this conversation after dinner,” the elder man said.

  “Certainly.”

  The family gathered for dinner, and this time it wasn’t interrupted by anyone. It was then that Luciano made the announcement that they would be extending the family.

  “Anca, I gunna be a big brotha.”

  “Yes, my little Luci. Are you happy?”

  “Yep. Anca, is he my uncle now?”

  Nikolai leaned over and whispered to the boy, not so quietly. “Yes, I am, little man. Hopefully, you’ll have some little cousins soon too.”

  Bianca blushed at his words, and the
others smiled at her. Then she bent her head until she felt Niko slide his hand into hers.

  “So, after this nonsense with Santini passes, are you going to marry my daughter properly, or am I going to have find a paddle for your ass?”

  “If that is what Bianca wants, then that’s what we’ll do. Love, it’s up to you,” he said as he looked at his wife.

  “I don’t know. If we did, I would want it small. Our wedding in France was sweet and simple,” Bianca said as she shrugged her shoulders. Her brother looked at her like something was wrong, knowing that her behavior was not her usual gregarious self. He looked at Nikolai to see if he had anything to do with it, but there was nothing but love.

  “That will be fine, dearest. I just want to see you dressed and your father to give you away,” Mrs. Rossi said.

  “That would be great, but we need to do it soon before I become a giant ball,” Amber said laughingly.

  “When are you due?”

  “I’m about two months now.”

  “So we’ve got a few months then?”

  “Ha! With her, we might as well plan it for next week. She gets round fast,” Bianca said humorously.

  “Don’t be mean, love. You will jinx yourself.”

  “Oh, I have no doubt I’ll be as big as a house, right, Mama?”

  “Yes, my belly was huge when I was pregnant with both of them,” Mrs. Rossi added.

  “Then, my dearest, we must hurry before you won’t fit into a gown of your choice.”

  “Are you calling me fat?” she said playfully.

  “Not at all.”

  “Uh-oh, someone is in for it.”

  “Shut up, Luciano.”

  “See what you got yourself into, Rykov?” Luciano laughed.

  “You two don’t quit, do you?” the Don said.

  “Never,” Bianca said as she sneered at her brother.

  †††

  “I want to listen in to the mics I had in the house. Sergei, did you load them?”

  “Yes. Niko. They’re ready when you are.”

  “What are you talking about?”

  “We set up mics in the villa knowing that Petrov would return while we were gone.”

  “Well, play that shit. I want to see who I’m going to put a bullet in,” Luciano snapped.

  “It’s cued.”

  “I can’t wait to put a bullet in Rykov’s head and fuck the memory of him out of Bianca. What the fuck is this?”

  “Looks like their wedding pictures. She looks really happy,” said a voice unknown to the men.

  “She going to pay for this. She’s made a fool of me and has been fucking this scum. I might have to kill her after all. I’m going to let Rykov live long enough to watch me have my way with the little happy bitch.”

  The sound of shredding paper was heard.

  “That bastard is going to die,” Nikolai growled.

  “I want to do it, but she’s yours now,” the Don said.

  “We need a plan, because hell if I’m going to let the same thing happen to Bianca that happened to Amber,” Luciano roared as he paced.

  “Son, we didn’t have the info we had at the time. Now we know who the enemy is, and we’ll deal with all of them.”

  “So what’s the plan?” Sergei said. Nikolai was staring off out the window, trying to calm his anger.

  The men made some final plans before retiring for the night. By the time they were done, they had everything hashed out to protect their women.

  Chapter 9

  Nikolai walked up to Bianca’s room. He knocked on the door, hoping she wasn’t asleep already because he really needed her right now. The stress of possible failure and Santini’s threats weighed on him.

  Opening the door, he saw Amber and Bianca talking quietly. They looked up with shocked looks on their faces—chock full of embarrassment. Nikolai looked at them with suspicion.

  “Um…hi, Nikolai. I’m going to bed now. You two have a nice night,” Amber said quickly as she gave Bianca a hug and jumped off the bed. She walked up to Nikolai and hugged him too before walking out the door.

  “You’re back quickly,” Bianca said nervously. Nikolai took a look at his wife in only his tee shirt, the one she confiscated after their wedding, and a pair of panties. He licked his lips, thinking of all the things he wanted to do to her after he had her naked.

  “Yes. You didn’t expect me so soon.”

  “I thought the meeting would’ve lasted longer. His meetings normally do.”

  “Yes, well, I wanted to see my wife, who happens not to be eager to see me, so I ended the meeting early.”

  “You missed me?” she said happily.

  “Let me show you how much,” he growled as he stalked towards her with a feral, animalistic gaze.

  Bianca’s eyes widened in delight. She missed his sensuous touch. It had been a full twelve hours without an orgasm for both of them. As newlyweds, that was too long to go without their release. Nikolai lifted her off the bed and stripped off her panties. He didn’t want this to go slow, so he took off his pants in a rush. Bianca grabbed his shirt and tore it from his body.

  “I guess you’re eager.”

  “Very,” she sighed.

  He laid her back down as he climbed up on the bed and sunk into her depths, filling her completely as their hips met.

  “Damn, I’d forgotten how tight your pussy is. You’re squeezing me so tight. Bianca, I needed you.”

  “Ah, Niko, I…needed you…too,” she sighed as she wrapped her legs around his back and dug her bare feet into his sexy buttocks.

  Nikolai took her nipple into his mouth and sucked as he pumped into her. Bianca grabbed on his neck and slid her hands into his hair.

  They rode each other hard as they absorbed their feelings.

  “Ya tebya lyub-lyu, I love you, Bianca.”

  “I love you, Niko, so much, ahh!” she cried as he wrapped his hands around her ass and lifted her hips, driving roughly into her womb.

  “Take me, all of me, my love,” Nikolai roared as he continued to speed up his movement.

  “I’m coming!” she cried. Nikolai bellowed from his chest as he came deep inside her.

  Nikolai briefly collapsed on top of her before realizing he was crushing her.

  “Sorry, baby. I didn’t mean to crush you.”

  “You didn’t, really.”

  “So, wife, do you want to tell me what you and Amber were talking about when I walked in?

  “It’s personal, about her and what happened when you met her.”

  “Damn, Bianca. You know I wouldn’t let something like that happen to you. Your father just told Luciano the same thing. We didn’t have the same information we have now. If they did, they wouldn’t have gotten an opportunity. Are you scared?”

  “A little. We’re worried about Luciano. He was so fucked up after that, and Amber can tell the stress is getting to him.”

  “Don’t worry about him. He’s strong, and we won’t fail. I promise you.”

  The couple woke up after a long night of loving. Nikolai continued to make love to Bianca on and off. They tried to keep quiet, but they had moments where they shook the bed and cried out loudly.

  “Good morning, my love. I hope you’re not too tired,” Nikolai whispered to the sleepy Bianca.

  She smiled at him with a sleepy gaze. “Morning, my husband. I’m never too tired for you. I’ve had two years of wanting you.”

  “Well, let me make that up to you,” he said as he climbed on top of her and spread her thighs wide.

  He smiled as he looked at her and saw nothing but hunger. Nikolai rubbed his head on her tender clit. Her pussy was swollen just like his cock was tender, but that didn’t stop him. He needed her too much to rest. With a hand on his cock and the other squeezing her silky thighs, he pushed his way into her, both sighing from the feeling of being consumed by each other.

  Bianca began to moan as he stroked in and out of her tight heat. Needing more, she pulled his face down to her
s and kissed him, their mouths connecting roughly and greedily.

  Nikolai slid his hand into her hair and tugged her face closer to his as he moved down to her neck, kissing and biting her.

  “You belong to me,” he growled as he drove into her. His arms wrapped around her body, holding her close and pushing their bodies tightly together as he ground into her.

  It took another hour for them to get up out of bed.

  Chapter 10

  “Petrov, you’ve been leading me on a wild-goose chase. I don’t care for it. You are becoming less of an asset and more of a nuisance,” Santini said as he pointed a gun at his older Russian ally.

  “No, no. I promise I can make this right,” Petrov pleaded for his life with his hands in the air.

  “I’m starting to think Rykov has you leading me this way.”

  “You know I’m not lying to you. I’m the one who gave you the information to get him locked away. Hell, I did everything I could to keep him in jail, but damn Sergei kept finding ways to go around it.”

  “Find him now, or you’re a dead man,” Santini warned.

  Petrov shakily pulled out his cell phone and dialed Nikolai.

  “Petrov, it’s so late. Why are you calling me at this hour? Could it be that you’re in Russia where it is morning?” Nikolai questioned suspiciously. Trust was a big deal to him. If you couldn’t be trusted, you were disposable.

  “Yes, well, you said you went home, so I went there to meet you.”

  “Bullshit. I know what you’ve done, but for the life of me I cannot figure out why a man I’ve trusted and known all my life would try to destroy me.”

  “I’m not trying to destroy you? I don’t know where you could be getting that idea.”

  “Please stop with fucking lies. I’ve heard enough. You’ll pay for your betrayal,” Nikolai roared.

  Nikolai’s words set Petrov off and his reasons for his hatred. He decided it was time to remove his mask of civility and disguise since it would be the end of Nikolai soon. “No, I won’t. I got away with your father’s murder. Yours will be handled by others,” Petrov replied with a perverse amount of pleasure.

  “You killed my father? You will pay!” Nikolai shouted on the other end.
