Yuri

by Marian Tee

Her surprise was palpable, but her tone was cautious as she answered, “Okay.”

  Great. He had only been teasing, but of course Kalli would say yes. He cleared his throat. “Once upon a time, there was a boy. He was a very handsome boy named…” His creativity failing him, he decided to switch his name around and finished, "Riyu.”

  A soft giggle escaped her.

  He took comfort from that. “And there was a princess whose name was—”

  “Lika?” Kalli guessed solemnly.

  “Now, how did you know that?” he drawled.

  She giggled again, and he found himself treasuring the sound. He would tell her bedtime stories every damn night if that was what it took to make her forget his stupid, careless mistake.

  “Now, these two met when they were both children, but because Riyu’s father was a very difficult man, the boy had to leave the girl temporarily. He needed to rescue his sister and take her to a faraway land where she would be safe.” He paused. “Guess what the sister’s name is.”

  “Liha!”

  He tweaked her nose. “What a bright girl you are.”

  Another giggle, and her eyes were sparkling with merriment as she asked, “What happens next?”

  “Now, when the queen – the princess’ grandmother – died, the boy went immediately to the princess’ kingdom so he could be there if she needed his help.”

  “Did she need his help?”

  He raised a brow at Kalli. “You tell me, sweetheart. Did she need his help, you think?”

  Slowly, she shook her head, surprising him.

  “You think the princess could live alone in her castle?”

  She said quietly, “Yes.” Her gaze sought his. “But the princess wouldn’t be happy. That’s why she went with the boy. What she needed wasn’t his help. She needed to be loved.”

  Ah.

  “And they lived happily ever after.”

  Kalli gasped. “That’s it?”

  “Yes, because I need to kiss you now.” It was all the warning she had before he dragged her to him, his fingers fisting in her hair as he conquered her mouth. He kissed her hard and deep, but it wasn’t enough, and with the way Kalli was whimpering and kissing him back feverishly, it didn’t seem enough for her either.

  Rolling to his back, he placed her on top of his body without breaking the kiss. His hands rushed down her body, his own jerking in acute response as he palmed her tender, swollen breasts.

  “Kalli.” Wrenching his mouth off her, he lifted her up until her breasts were dangling over her face. Their gazes clashed, his blue eyes burning with need while hers were clouded with desire. And then he pulled one silk-clad nipple into his mouth and bit hard.

  She screamed, and her hands gripped his head as he started to suck.

  “Yuri.” She was rubbing herself against him, pushing her breast deeper into his mouth, and her pussy started driving his dick crazy.

  He had her nightgown up her waist, her legs completely bared, when he realized what he was doing. Forcing his hands to still, he released her nipple and shook his head at her. “Kalli.” His voice was strained with barely leashed need. “It’s too soon—”

  Her mouth ground down at his, taking Yuri by surprise. And then she was whispering shakily, pleadingly against his lips, “Don’t stop?”

  Yuri’s restraint broke.

  Clothes were strewn on the floor in seconds, and then Yuri and Kalli were completely naked. Seeing the way Kalli was staring wide-eyed at him, he forced himself to keep still, giving her all the time in the world to look at him or change her mind.

  “It is moving again.” She slowly reached to touch it, and he groaned as her fingers wrapped around his length. And then she was moving her fingers, stroking him up and down, and Yuri knew if he allowed this to continue, he would be spent before he got to her pussy.

  Yuri grasped her wrist, forcing it to keep still. “No more,” he rasped out.

  “You don’t like it?” she asked sadly.

  He laughed hoarsely, knowing if it had been any other girl, the question would have been coy. “It’s not that, sweetheart. It’s because I like it too much that I have to stop you.”

  “I don’t understand.”

  “If you make me come, I won’t have the strength to make you come.”

  “Oh.” Kalli chewed on her lip then said decisively, “You must take more vitamins then. I will call Doctor—”

  He kissed her to shut her up, kissed her even as he laughed, and both were something he had never enjoyed with any other girl. Everyone that had been to his bed had all just been nameless faces and bodies to Yuri. He had wanted the relief that sex brought, and they had coveted the privileges that went with fucking an officer of the Afxisi.

  But with Kalli, everything – every moment, every gasp, and every caress – was special. He wished he could burn each second indelibly in his memories. The way her violet eyes clung to him, the way her lips parted in surrender, the way her slender body moved sinuously against his.

  He kissed his way down slowly, savoring every inch. He pressed tender kisses to her lids, and her eyes closed. He nuzzled her nose with his before moving to her ears, and she whimpered as he followed the swirls with his tongue.

  “Yuri.” Her tone was filled with awe and need, and his dick was fit to explode at the mere sound of it.

  He moved to her lips, nibbling them and then sucking on her lower lip hard. His tongue forayed inside her mouth, reclaiming every inch.

  I love you.

  With every kiss, he tried to convey the words that were still hard for him to say.

  And it was as if she heard him, her hands cupping his face when he lifted his mouth from hers.

  “I love you,” she said simply.

  A vow of stark simplicity that he knew Kalliope Antoniou would carry to her grave.

  Love was forever in Kalli’s book.

  “I love you.” He didn’t think he would ever be worthy, but he wouldn’t mind spending the rest of his life trying to earn it.

  His mouth trailed down, and he spent more than a few moments exploring the tender, sensitive side of her neck. “Can I mark you?” he murmured.

  “What does this mean?”

  He smiled against her skin. “I’ll show you.” He sucked on a spot until it was red with his kiss.

  When he lifted his head, she asked breathlessly, “It’s done?”

  “Yes.” Blue eyes gleamed with possessive satisfaction.

  “May I mark you next time, too?”

  “Of course.”

  “Will you teach me, or should I ask—”

  “No.” His frown darkened. “I think I should make something clear. Every inch of your body is mine,” he said emphatically, “because you love me and I love you.”

  “Oh.” Her eyes were wide.

  “So if someone tries to touch you, or kiss you, that’s a bad thing.”

  She nodded solemnly. “I understand.” Her eyes narrowed. “But it will be the same for you, too?”

  He grinned. In this sense, Kalli was like any other woman. “I’m all yours, sweetheart.” He looked down, his tone musing as he asked, “Now, where was I?”

  “You just finished marking my neck,” she said helpfully. “Like a vampire,” she added after a pause.

  “Ah. Thank you for the reminder.” His shoulders rocked with silent mirth. “I’ll continue from here then.” He slowly drew a line from the side of her neck to her collarbone, and his lips curved when he felt her body tremble at his touch.

  Bending his head, he did the same thing again, this time with his mouth.

  “Oh, Yuri.” A soft sigh as her hands settled on his shoulders.

  His mouth moved further down and his hands joined in then, cupping her breasts to fondle and squeeze them.

  “Oh, Yuri.” A breathless gasp, just as her nails dug into his back.

  He didn’t bother with preliminaries and gave them what they both wanted.

  He started sucking her nipple hard, and a second
later Kalli was responding, pushing herself closer to him in a restless urge for him to keep doing it.

  After doing the same to her other nipple, he continued with his leisurely exploration of her body, caressing her flat stomach before moving down and breathing on the triangle of flesh between her legs.

  The air from his mouth fanned her sensitive, glistening folds, and Kalli’s entire body shuddered.

  “Yuri.” A whimper that turned into a drawn out moan as he traced her folds, gently then rhythmically. When she started writhing, he took it as his cue, dipping one finger inside her pussy.

  She buckled against him, and her gaze met his wildly. “Yuri?” Her voice begged for an explanation.

  “It’s alright, sweetheart,” he said thickly. “Just trust me.” Locking his gaze with hers, he started pushing his finger in and out of her. She remained tense at the first few strokes, but her body gradually softened as the tightness of her pussy eased and the friction created by his finger fucking faded.

  “Yuri, oh, Yuri…” Her breathy whimpers spurred his arousal, and it was all he could do not to think of how he could fuck her as hard as her fingers were digging into his back again.

  When her legs fell open, he slid a second finger in, and when her hips started rising and falling to meet his strokes, he began fisting her.

  “Aaaah.” She fell back against the bed, her head turning left and right while her fingers gripped the bed sheets. Her hips continued to pump in the air, and when he increased the pace of his thrusts, her hips sought to match his speed, her movements frenzied.

  And then she was coming with a scream.

  As Kalli shattered, Yuri swiftly reversed their positions, knowing that this was the optimal time to take her virginity. In a few moments, he was on his back and she was straddling him while her essence continued to pour out of her pussy.

  He impaled her on his dick and slowly but steadily pushed her down until he tore through her hymen.

  It was quick and painless, but it was also startling and different, and he saw Kalli stiffen at the shocking fullness inside her.

  Her clouded gaze sought his. “Y-Yuri?”

  “I’m inside you now, sweetheart.” Tiny tremors continued to rock her body in the aftermath of her release, and every tremor made his dick pulse hungrily inside her.

  “I f-feel weird.”

  His smile was strained. “It will get better.” All his efforts were focused on not moving until he was certain she had properly adjusted.

  “And so full.”

  “You have nothing to worry about.” His jaw clamped hard at the way she was staring at their joined bodies.

  Moments ticked by, both of them still except for his twitching dick and the contracting muscles inside her pussy.

  And then slowly, he felt it.

  Kalli sinking deeper so she could take more of his dick.

  “Thank God,” he growled. Her eyes flew to him in surprise just as his hands clamped on her hips. “Now,” he told her roughly, “I’ll make you see stars.” He figured it was better than telling her he intended to fuck the brains out of both of them.

  And he did.

  Years of bike racing and stunt practices had built his muscles over the years, and he had no problems lifting Kalli up and down on his dick until she caught his rhythm and began riding him.

  “Oh, Yuri.” Her eyes were closed, and there was a look of ecstasy on her face. “It’s so….goood…”

  “And it’s going to be better,” he promised tautly just before he reached between their bodies. He found her clitoris and gave it a tweak.

  Kalli threw her head back and screamed.

  She rode him wildly then, grinding her pussy down on his cock as hard as she could, and he was more than happy to have her use him. Any way she wanted him would give her pleasure.

  “Y-Yuri, I f-feel it again.”

  The way she stammered when she was about to come was too damn sexy, and his fingers tightened reflexively against her hips.

  “Yuri—”

  “Come,” he commanded.

  “Yeeeeees!” She came with a shudder and her eyes rolled back.

  Yuri didn’t stop thrusting in and out of her even as Kalli fell limply against his body. In moments, he had found his release as well, and he growled her name as he filled her pussy with his cum.

  When he opened his eyes, he realized he had fallen asleep, and Kalli had, too. His half-erect dick was still inside of her, though, and he had to swallow back a groan at how exquisitely tight she felt when he reluctantly pulled out of her.

  She stirred when he gently laid her on the bed, but her eyelids didn’t drift open. Getting up, he took a quick shower and, after wetting a hand towel under the shower, he went to Kalli and cleaned her up.

  This time, her eyes fluttered open, drowsily. “Yuri?”

  “Just cleaning you,” he whispered.

  But by the time he finished, he was rock hard again and without a word, he arranged himself on top of her and slid his dick inside of her.

  “Oh, Yuri.” Her arms went around his neck as she surrendered her body to his possession.

  This time, their lovemaking was slow and leisurely, but the orgasm was just as powerful, and Yuri had a feeling it would always be like that. His need for her hadn’t waned at all. If anything, he hungered for her more, now that he knew how passionate she could be in his arms.

  After cleaning themselves for the second time, he slid into bed with her and pulled the covers over them.

  Kalli immediately rolled towards him. “Drink your pills,” she said sleepily.

  He hesitated then decided to do as asked. It would be nice to have a good night’s sleep for once, especially since he had the rest of the weekend to look forward to.

  Yuri slept, thinking of all the ways and places he could fuck Kalli.

  But when Yuri woke, it was to the sound of her screams.

  Chapter Seventeen

  “I wasn’t lying,” Kalli said in a dead little voice. She was seated beside Yuri on the sofa, her body stiff and tense, and Yuri had to clench his fists as he fought the urge to tell her it was okay and she had nothing to worry about.

  Around them, the silence was more introspective than heavy in spite of the dim lighting and drawn out shades turning the room’s floral wallpaper into obscure figures in the shadows. The only other sound in the room, aside from Kalli’s voice, came from the metronome on the coffee table, its rhythmic swinging making Yuri think of a ticking bomb.

  In front of them, Dr. Miller, the therapist Aria had referred to them, only nodded and scribbled something on her notepad.

  Kalli’s tone became fierce. “I wasn’t the one who wrote the words on the mirror.”

  Yuri’s face remained expressionless.

  According to Kalli, she had seen the words I WILL BREAK YOU on the mirror.

  But when Yuri had gotten to the en-suite bathroom, there had been nothing but mist on the vanity mirror and when they had checked the CCTV footage, it showed no intruder breaking into their room. The footage hadn’t shown any signs of tampering either.

  She suddenly looked at Yuri. “You believe me, don’t you?”

  He pulled her close, and his heart clenched at the way she trembled against him. “It’s okay, sweetheart.” He didn’t want to lie to her.

  “Mr. Athanas?”

  Keeping Kalli in his arms, he looked at the therapist, murmuring, “Yuri, please.”

  “Yuri then.” The therapist checked her notes. “Can you tell me if there’s anything new that happened during your vacation? I believe this is the first one you two have taken as a couple?”

  “Yes.”

  “And have there been changes? Something new that was added to your routine or any other first you two enjoyed as a couple?”

  “It was the first time for us to go to the beach together.”

  “Uh huh. What else?” The doctor’s gaze remained on them even as she resumed scribbling.

  “It’s also our first time
to stay at a hotel.”

  “I see.”

  Kalli stirred in his arms, and he reluctantly let her go.

  “Doctor?” Her back was straight, and her voice was as stiff. “Yesterday, we…I thought…” She swallowed, and it was his first time to see Kalli uncertain of what to say. “I thought he was going to leave me.”

  The older woman’s dark brows shot up.

  “It was a misunderstanding,” he said emphatically. “I didn’t intend to leave her. I love her.” But he had never thought he would say such words in the circumstances they found themselves in now.

  “I see. Anything else?”

  He took a deep breath. “We also made love for the first time last night.”

  “Ah.” The therapist placed her pen down, her gaze pensive. She was an attractive brunette in her late twenties, someone who could have easily married any man she wanted. But her fingers were ringless, and he wondered absently if it was because most men avoided dating shrinks, knowing they were impossible to lie to.

  Finally, Dr. Miller said, “Based on what you have shared so far, I think the stress of certain changes in your life – in both of your lives – has greatly attributed to Kalli’s episode this morning. It might either be because of the sex or the fact that she was scared—”

  Kalli and Yuri said spontaneously, “Not the sex.”

  And then realizing what they had said at the same time, Yuri laughed, and Kalli managed a smile.

  The therapist coughed, but her eyes were twinkling when she said, “I think so, too.” She handed each of them a card. “I’d like you to come back and meet me next week please. Just schedule an appointment with my secretary.”

  They were walking towards Yuri’s waiting limousine when Kalli suddenly told him, “If she had banned us from making love, I think I would have cried.”

  Despite his worries, he couldn’t help smiling at Kalli’s utterly serious tone. “I think I might have cried, too,” he said solemnly.

  Inside the car, he drew her to him and, taking hold of her hand, he brought it to his lips. “It will be alright, sweetheart.”

  She only nodded.

  He pulled her tighter against his. “When we’re back at HQ, promise me you’ll try to sleep. You have dark circles under your eyes, and it worries me,” he said gently, “to see you so tired.”
