“Didn’t get enough, devushka?”
I slowly approached them as she crouched down to his level. “Where is she?”
He smirked at her and she looked up at Drake. “Hold him still for me, Drake.”
Drake nodded sitting Anatoli up as she reared back giving him a sound right hook. He yelled out and she grabbed the lapels of his dark suit jacket forcing him to look at her again.
"Where is she?"
He spit out blood and smiled a blood coated smile at her. "You won't find her. I threw her in the incinerator, it was what she deserved for leaving me."
Victoria's blood-curdling scream of fury shook me and I watched as she wailed on him, one hit after the other until he was a bloodied mess at her hands, but she wasn't stopping. I ran over to her and had to drag her away as she continued to kick at his limp frame.
Drake threw him on the ground as Adam appeared with his men. I held onto my beauty as she struggled against him.
“I want to kill him! Let me kill him!”
“He’ll get what’s coming to him, Beautiful. Calm down! He’ll pay for his crimes. All of them, I swear it.”
She finally went limp in my arms as they carried him away. I turned her, holding her tight against my chest, feeling her soft shaky breaths against my neck. “You don’t ever have to see him again. He won’t ever hurt you again,” I swept my hands up and down her back as the sobs wracked her body.
I looked at Drake and nodded at him that we were fine. He turned and pointed at the hangar where I knew Nick's body still lay. I nodded in acknowledgment and he went to do what had to be done.
“We’ll give Nick a proper burial, Victoria. I’ll take care of it. I’ll take care of you, baby. I’ll always take care of you.”
She nuzzled my neck and held me tight. “Don’t ever let me go, Max. God, don’t ever let me go.”
“Never, baby. I’ll die before I ever let that happen.”
We stood there in the middle of that abandoned airfield. People milled around us and agents did their jobs as they assessed the crime scenes. Men in body bags were carried away and the shipments they had been stealing were being moved into another secured spot.
I hugged her tight as the wind blew her hair around us and she shivered against me. “Let’s go home, Beautiful.”
She nodded and reluctantly stepped out of my embrace as I guided her back to the car. Both Lucian and Drake tried approaching me, but I simply shook my head, keeping them at bay. I just wanted to take my woman home and forget about this entire fucking nightmare. They understood as they watched me pass by without another word. All that mattered to me was that I had my love in my arms and I wasn’t about to leave her side when she needed me the most.
EPILOGUE
MAXWELL
“M ax, I beg you.”
“Fuck, I love it when you beg,” I growled between her thighs.
I had her spread out on the balcony of my apartment. She’d stepped out with her cup of coffee, leaning over the rail covered in my crisp white shirt and showing her lovely little arse to me. She was wearing absolutely nothing under my dress shirt and she had tempted me beyond reason.
Quietly, I'd come out after her, kneeling behind her sultry frame. I loved hearing her giggle as my hands traveled up the backs of her calves.
“What are you doing?” She looked down at me and I winked as I leisurely raised the hem of my shirt and bit down on the flesh of her plump arse cheek.
She yelped, nearly dropping the coffee mug down to the innocent bystanders below.
“Careful now,” I whispered taking the mug out of her hand and setting it on the floor beside me.
I twirled her around so that her pussy was now at my eye level and I hummed as I dragged the shirt open.
"Maxwell," she warned, but there was absolutely no way anyone would stop me from devouring my breakfast this morning. After all these months, I was still hungry for her. And like a starving madman, I took my fill of her every chance I got. Today was no different.
“Maxwell, someone could see,” she whispered trying to swipe my hands away from the seam of my shirt.
“Then you shouldn’t have come out here showing off that succulent pussy of mine. There are consequences to every action, Beautiful.” It was five in the morning and half the city was awake, including nosy neighbors who couldn’t mind their business, but I didn’t care. I was going to take her on this balcony, everyone be damned. If they wanted to watch how my woman moaned my name as my cock entered her, then let them watch. They were in for quite a show.
“Max,” she whimpered as I finally lifted the shirt exposing her soft thighs and the silky velvety lips of her puffy mound. Always ready for the taking.
“Mmm,” I hummed in approval leaning in, giving those silky lips a nice wet kiss. My tongue delved into her slit finding her clit. I sucked it into my mouth loving her moan of surrender as it hardened against my tongue. Propping her leg up onto the armrest of a nearby chair, I sprawled her out for me while she leaned back along the railing, holding on tight as I took my time ravaging what was mine.
I licked up and down that sweet tasting pussy of hers and deftly reached up to open the rest of the buttons that hid her body from me. I slid my hands up along her soft flesh, parting the shirt as I went. My hands reached all the way up, cupping those plush tits that filled my hands perfectly. Her legs shook as I fondled her soft curves, my eyes feasting on her from down between her thighs, loving how the sun streamed down on her. Her breasts swaying slightly as I had my way with her.
Her hand reached down for me, but she was a greedy little thing. Grabbing my hair she pulled me towards her, slowly swerving her hips against my mouth.
“Does it taste good, Max? Hmm?”
"Fuck," I growled, and grabbing her ass I dragged her close, engulfing her in my mouth.
I had asked for this and she was going to give me exactly what I wanted. Her, coming undone for me, shattering for me on my tongue. I dug my muscle into her depths rimming her delicate entrance and she spread her legs wider, her right leg quivering frantically as I teased her entrance. She was the most sensitive right in the middle, along that top tender curve. I slowly worked my tongue into her, hitting her right where she craved it the most and she yelled out my name, gripping me tightly.
The muscles of her stomach dipped in and her ragged moans echoed, mixing in with the sounds of the morning traffic. Fuck, she was beautiful.
“God, Max!”
“You like to entice me? Seduce me?” I lapped at her clit and she mewled sweetly.
“Yes,” she whispered breathlessly as she dipped her hips, begging for my tongue.
“I want you to cum on my tongue, Victoria. Give me that sweet honey I love so much.”
“Oh my God!” She ran her hands through my hair and tugged as she humped up at me, but I didn’t give her what she wanted. Not yet.
Looking down on me, she pouted. “Please.”
I looked up at those pretty eyes, the sunlight hitting them just right so they looked like pots of honey. I smiled up at her as I flattened my tongue and licked her from arsehole to clit. “Or maybe…”
I stood before her, my cock tenting my briefs. Leaning in on her I scooped up her leg and wrapped it around my hip. Pulling down the front of my briefs I let my cock out. She looked down at it, licking her lips.
“Are you going to put it in me, or are you just going to tease me with it?”
“I grabbed it by the hilt and rubbed it along her clit, relishing in her sweet whimpers.”
“Don’t lie to yourself, Darling. You know you love how I tease you.”
She flung her arms around my neck, her soft body melting against mine. She felt so fucking good in my arms. She flung her head back and wrapped her other leg around my waist, her movement causing my cock to slide against her silkiness. Those swollen lips sliding wetly against the underside of my thick cock. She drove me crazy as she completely trusting in me as she leaned back over the railing.
“Fuck me,” her look of pure lust put me over that edge and I grabbed her tightly by the waist and slammed my cock right up to the hilt.
She cried out as I fucked her, my hips dipping and rolling into her as she cried out for me. Her head dipped back and she turned it slightly staring at the world down below us.
“Oh my God,” she breathed as I wrapped my arms around her.
“I won’t let you go,” I growled against her neck and she whimpered as I nipped at the sexy curve if her shoulder.
"Max?" she breathed, and I slowed down my pace, staring at her. Her eyes met mine and she bit down on her lip, the gesture making my cock throb.
“Yes, baby.”
“I feel free.”
I smirked. “Is that so.”
“I want to fly in your arms.”
“Well then, let’s see what I can do.”
I fucked her out on that balcony relishing in her lusty cries, how her nails dug into my shoulders, how her body responded to mine. She was sweet and wild all wrapped up in a beautiful package, left for me to enjoy, to unravel.
"God, I love you, Max! I love you so much!"
She came hard as I held her tightly over that rail. Her pussy clinging onto me as my balls pumped their seed deep into her womb. This woman was made for me and as promised, I'd first go over that rail with her then let her go.
“I love you,” she whispered as I turned us around and walked us back into the bedroom. She felt light in my arms, sated. Every whisper of love only made my heart swell for her.
After all the shit we’d been put through, we found our reprieve in each other’s arms. It wasn’t just the sweet kisses, or the murmured I love you. It was that sense that I finally had a someone to come home to. That she was my home. My heart.
“Do you think it happened?”
“What’s that, Beautiful?” I stroked her back as I watched the sunrise.
“You know. What you’ve been hoping for.”
“I smiled.” I have a feeling that it might have happened.
She hummed sleepily. “I hope so. I want it so bad, Max.”
“I know you do sweet girl.”
“I want to give you the world,” she whispered.
I hugged her close and smiled. "You are my world."
“I want to give you a bigger world.”
"In time, Beautiful. If not, I'm going to enjoy creating it with you, time and time again."
She nuzzled herself into the crook of my arm, her hand roaming protectively across her belly as she fell asleep. We both wanted a family, one we could love and protect. We swore that everything we never had, our children would have.
As I lay there I thought of Grace. Her pretty face beaming down at me. It had been months since I thought of her, but instead of the turmoil, she brought, this time her presence brought me peace. She smiled lovingly down at me and her image waved, and I knew this was it. This was goodbye. I was letting her go and it was going to be okay because the love that I was always meant to have was lying in my arms, willing to give me the world.
FILTHY SEDUCTION

Whether she’s willing to or not.
SABRINA

Yet I can’t seem to stop thinking of him.
If only he knew just how much I liked him,
Maybe then he’d realize I’d do anything to protect him.
PROLOGUE
LUCIAN
The soles of my feet pummeled the pavement as I took the tenth mile around the property. Ravenhead loomed to my left, a constant reminder of what was left to me by my father, Richard Steele. A burden that I never wanted, yet I was forced to take it over by a bunch of middle aged has-beens that didn’t know where their head ended and their rear ends began- they were so far up each other’s asses.
My lungs burned as I exhaled and inhaled, measuring my strides as I took my morning run. I never slept much and by dawn you would find me here, just a few meters away from the dreaded Corporation, pounding away at its concrete.
Running was an outlet, a reprieve from all the shit that surrounded me. From the government officials, the top secret contracts, the schematics, the fucking weapons. Surprisingly so, in the middle of all these lethal, top of the line, US Grade armament the whole world seemed to be after, this was the only place I could ever find peace.
I let the adrenaline take me over and ran hard, the steady beat coursing through my body, the exertion heightening my senses. I ran until my legs felt like they were going to buckle and my lungs felt like they might burst. Looking down at my watch I realized I’d been running for nearly two hours. I was surprised I hadn’t collapsed somewhere on mile sixteen or seventeen. Recently, I found that I kept blacking out when I ran and it was happening a lot more frequently, ever since Catchfire appeared in my life.
The sun was already up in the sky and I needed to get myself to meetings. At this time of the morning no one was up on my floor. That was something I had insisted on, privacy. Drake Archer, my head of security, was the only soul, other than me, with access to my offices and my floor.
As I strode through the hallways I took off my t-shirt getting ready to jump into my private shower, but as I entered my office I realized my plans were going to change and take quite a turn.
Taking the shirt, I wiped the sweat off my neck as I stared dumfounded at a set of long toned legs that stood before me. My eyes took in the long stems and they traveled slowly along the swell of a most delectable ass that seemed very familiar to me. The ass in question was encased in a tight black pencil skirt that wrapped around the most enticing curves I’d ever seen.
The purple silk blouse she wore molded to two perfect mounds that were sensually perched to entice me and stir my blood. She’d taken her jacket off and was standing with a cup of coffee by the floor to ceiling windows that looked out at the Catskill Mountains. The sunlight was starting to streak in and it highlighted that wild red hair I always dreamed of twisting in my fist.
“Sabrina,” her name rolled off my tongue with indifference. “What are you doing here?”
“Well, good morning to you too,” her reply was short and full of sarcasm. It was a familiar banter that I secretly enjoyed and hated.
I raised an eyebrow as I plopped down in my desk chair. I leaned over and turned on the computer screen, completely ignoring the fact that she was staring down at me, her arms folded across her chest, propping those succulent breasts up for me.
Her hands suddenly slammed down on my desk and as she leaned forward I couldn’t resist anymore. My eyes drifted right to the opening of her silk shirt giving me an eyeful of deep cleavage and black lace. Fuck, she was tempting.
“My eyes are up here, Steele.”
“Yeah, but you’re tits are right where I want them, Montgomery.”
“Ass,” she clipped and straightened.
I sighed and tilted the chair back. Lifting my hands, I gestured for her to continue.
“Why didn’t you answer my calls?”
“I was out for a run.”
“I’ve been trying to reach you for weeks!”
Her exasperation brought me satisfacti
on and I felt the beginning of a smile tugging on my lips. I lived to annoy the fuck out of her. Keeping her frustrated, kept them frustrated.
“You can take that smug look off your face, Steele. I don’t appreciate your uncouth behavior.”
“No one asked you to come by, Sabrina. So if we’re done here…”
I made my way to the door expecting her to follow. Instead, she stepped in front of me, blocking my path.
“I’m not done with you.” Her eyes met mine, a fiery challenge burning within them.
“I have no time to chat with you. I have business to attend to.”
“I am your business that needs tending.”
“Oh, you definitely need tending to, don’t you?”
She narrowed her eyes on me and as I once again tried to get by her, she impeded my path. I accepted her defiance and watched as her eyes widened while I closed the space between us. She stepped back, once, twice, until my desk blocked her from moving any further, until her hands were pressed against my chest.
I wasn’t sure if she was holding me back or copping a feel but either way was good for me, because there was something about this woman that both tempted and irritated the fuck out of me.
We both focused on her soft hands which lingered on my skin, emanating a searing heat that poured from her and spread along my bare chest. Her green eyes met mine and I watched them slowly dilate as her lips parted.
Oh, she felt it, this heat between us that ignited every time we were in each other’s presence. I couldn’t help but test the waters. Leaning in just an inch further, I could smell the citruses from her perfume and feel the soft wisps of her wild curls brush against my cheek. My cock stirred as her breath hitched and her palms flattened against my pecs.
I gave her a slow, sly grin and her eyes slowly came to life as she snapped out of our lust filled fog. Shoving me back her eyes pierced me angrily.
“Put a shirt on, Steele. I’m not in the mood for your impertinence.”
I smirked. “See I find the fact that you are in my private office at this ungodly hour impertinent as well. Say your piece and leave, unless you’re looking for something a bit more pertinent from me.”
