“Yes!” I half scream. Amie gives a smile at my excitement. “I do need you to help with the wedding.”
“I can stay for the wedding.”
“Maybe longer,” I hedge.
“I have a job back home.”
“A job? That’s all you’re coming at me with? Those are everywhere. We have lots of them here too.” I turn to look over my shoulder. “Victor.”
“I give your sister a job.” He shrugs as if it’s a done deal.
“I could suck.” Amie looks at Victor like he’s crazy.
“You don’t suck at anything,” I snip at my sister.
“You manage the Collins Properties, Inc. perfectly. Your father should sell. The market is good now. You can manage my company.”
Amie’s mouth falls open a little. “I told Dad two months ago he should sell on an offer he got.” Amie looks from Victor to me.
“He knows everything before you can even say it,” I whisper, which is pointless because Victor has freaky good hearing. I never have to say anything and the man knows what I’m thinking.
“See. You know what you are doing. I trust you could manage Sokolov Security. I’ll need some help. I plan on taking more time off.” Victor’s eyes flick to me. I know this isn’t the time but my body heats under his gaze because I know what he plans to do with his extra time off.
“From here?” she asks. I jump up.
“You’re thinking about it?”
“Maybe. Even if I think your soon-to-be husband is only offering me the job because he is trying to make you happy.”
“This is also true,” Victor confirms. “But I meant the other things I said. I am confident in your skills.”
Amie stands. “I’ll think about it while we plan the wedding.”
“Plan?” Victor walks closer to us. “We need no plans. We both say I do and we are done.”
I fake an eye roll. “I want to plan a small wedding. Have my sister be my maid of honor.”
“Okay,” Victor says instantly.
“He does not look like someone who is so agreeable all the time but he is with you.” I hear the smile in Amie’s words.
“It’s because I know how to get what I want.” I lean into Victor, offering him my mouth. He pulls me into his body, kissing me. Everything might not be perfect right now with my family but I know we’ll get there. This resort really does have love in the air and I know Amie is going to find her happily ever after soon.
Chapter 13
Violet
“You think she likes her room?” I ask Victor as we leave the suite that we got for her at the hotel. I start to turn around to go back to check on her but Victor snags me around the waist, stopping me.
“It is one of the best in the resort. It’s better than your place,” he reassures me. “Give her some time, Kotyonok, she needs to process this.” I know he’s right but it sucks seeing Amie like this. She’s always so strong. I want to be there for her but I’m not sure there is much I can do but love her and be here whenever she needs me.
I know it’s not really her heart that Marks broke but something altogether different. A strength inside of her has been whittled away. I think it’s because it was a double betrayal. Not only by someone she was romantically interested in but by her own flesh and blood. Our mother’s betrayal is really what’s eating Amie alive. Who can you trust if not your own mother?
“I don’t think I’ll ever forgive her,” I tell Victor as he leads me from my sister’s suite. He doesn't have to ask to know who I’m talking about. I was never close to my mother. I don’t think any of us girls were, but we always all stuck together. This is the ultimate betrayal, not just to Amie but our entire family. I pray I never see my mother again.
“You don’t have to.” He shrugs.
“My dad took it rather easy.” I scrunch my nose thinking back on how mellow he’d been about the whole thing. Passive really. I mean I’m happy it didn't rip his heart apart but I wish he would have been more mad for Amie. Why isn’t he more angry at our mother for what she’s done to our family? She not only betrayed Amie but she stole precious time from us that we’ll never get back. So many months of being apart from each other because of her selfishness.
“He is a weak man, my kotyonok. I would never allow another man near you or to take our children from us. This would only happen over my dead body.” The words rumble from deep inside of Victor, vibrating from his body into mine.
“Victor.” I turn toward him and lift my mouth, asking for a kiss. He obliges. I break the kiss before we get lost in it. “I need you, Victor. I need all of you. Will you give me that tonight?” He exhales a long breath. I know I’m testing his resolve but I don’t want to waste another second. I want to lose myself in him tonight. We are lucky to have the love we have, to have found each other, and I don’t want to wait anymore.
“Come, Kotyonok.” He grabs my hand and continues to lead me toward my apartment.
“That’s what I’m trying to do,” I snip back at him because he’s still holding out on me. That gets me a small smile from him as he shakes his head and continues walking. “Don’t you think it’s absurd that we are engaged and you won’t sleep with me?” I continue pushing his buttons. “I mean, do you not want me? Do you not find me sexy?”
He stops walking to look down at me. “Kotyonok,” he warns. I know I’m poking my giant Russian beast. I think anyone else might be scared to do such a thing. Not me. When it comes to Victor, fear is not something I’ll ever feel around him. I know the sweetness that is at the center of my soon-to-be husband. He shows it to me every chance he gets.
I place my hands on his chest as I look up at him. He is so good at reading me and I am getting better at reading him too.
“What is holding you back? Tell me.”
“Your family.” He says the same things he’s been saying for a while now. “I wanted you to go into this without any fears. I didn’t want you to have to worry. That stemmed from things that were happening back where you come from.” I notice he doesn’t call it home but where I came from. He’s right. He’s my home now.
“The rest of it, Victor.” I slide my hands up his chest.
“I do not know how to handle these family things. But I see family is important to people. I’ve only loved one other woman besides you—my baba or to you, grandmother—so I do not know much about the dynamics of one. I see how others are, though. With your sweetness I knew you would need this cleared. That is not right, Kotyonok? If I am to be your family I need to make sure it is functioning the best I can.” He actually gives a small grimace. I throw my head back and laugh.
“You had your work cut out for you then, didn’t you?” I keep on laughing. Not because this is okay but because it’s so messed up that all you can do is laugh or you’ll cry. My giant Russian was trying to fix a family that I’m not sure is worth fixing. At least not all of it. “You’re going to have a family now. A bigger one that’s going to grow. We’re going to be one and I know you’ll always make sure things are perfect in it. I know you’ll always take care of us the best you can. It’s a big reason I’m marrying you.”
“What other reasons, Kotyonok?” He leans down a little so we are closer. I smile up at him, knowing he wants my affection. I want to give it to him. I want to finally give him everything.
“You know I didn't fight you on the necklace,” I remind him. I love the weight of it around my neck. “I love you. That’s why I’m marrying you. I think we both knew this was coming the moment we met. I never really put up a fight. I think I only toyed and played with you, holding out for a little because I was enjoying myself for the first time in a long time.”
“Kotyonok.” He moans my name before his mouth finds mine. “I love you too,” he tells me between kisses. Of course he does but I still love hearing him say it.
“Then make love to me. I want us to know every part of each other. To be connected in the deepest of ways.”
“I’m sorry, my kotyono
k. I did not know how badly you needed me to make love to your body or I would have done it long ago.” He lifts me off my feet.
“We have the rest of our lives, Victor. I’m sure you can make it up to me.” He only grunts his agreement as he carries me back off to his place. I think you're supposed to be a little leery of your first time with a man. I feel none of that. Only happiness fills me because I know Victor will make this perfect for me. Like I said. When it comes to Victor I have nothing to fear. Ever.
Chapter 14
Victor
The trust that my kotyonok places in me is humbling. I tilt her head to the side and run my lips down the exposed column of her neck. She inhales, her chest shaking slightly. Her dress slips off her shoulders and slithers down to the floor. I follow the path of the fabric, disposing of Violet’s lacy bra and matching panties until she is completely bare.
I place a soft kiss above the small thatch of hair on her pussy. Her knees tremble and her hands crash down on my shoulders.
“W-wait,” she stutters.
“For what?” I nose her legs apart and breathe in her arousal. My cock grows iron hard.
“I don’t know. Shouldn’t I be lying down for this?”
“Trust me. I’ll hold you up.” I like that she is in my grasp, reliant on me for her balance, for her support. My fingers dig into her hip bones as I drag her cunt to my mouth.
The minute I make contact, she collapses, her hands sliding off my shoulders and her knees buckling beneath her. It doesn’t matter. She’s light enough for me to hold with one hand. I hitch her legs over my shoulders, brace a hand against the middle of her back and devour her like the meal she is. She’s wet and juicy, her lubrication filling my mouth. I eat her up, not allowing a single droplet of her essence to escape me. The pulse in my cock throbs with every lick and bite and suck. My whole body feels electrified and I’m ready to come on the floor. She moans, her words slurring together until she sounds like she’s speaking some foreign language.
“Ohmygodthisfeelssogooddon’tstopdon’tstopthererighttherenowwwwwww!”
Her thighs grow stiff and then shake as the orgasm overcomes her. She digs her fingers into my short hair and pulls, as if trying to fight the tide of pleasure that is rising up and swallowing her down.
I pierce her with my tongue again and again, forcing her over that cliff into the abyss of ecstasy one more time. She screams, her pussy clamping down as she orgasms again.
My cock is in so much pain, it might break off if I don’t get inside of her. I stand, pick her up into my arms and drop her on the bed. I tear at my clothes, blinded by desperate need.
“I’m taking you now, Kotyonok, I’m claiming you as mine,” I growl, leveraging my large body over her much smaller one.
She blinks passion-glazed eyes. “Finally,” she says and curls her arms around my neck. She drags me down to take my mouth with hers, uncaring that her taste is smeared over my lips. She licks herself away, sucking on my tongue as if it was an extension of my cock.
I reach between us and place my cockhead at her soft, wet entrance. She’s tight—her tissues swollen from her orgasms. I dip my head in and nearly come off the bed when the sensitive nerves of the head slide between her cunt lips.
“Fuck, Kotyonok. This is so good. So good.” I pant heavily, waiting for her body to accommodate mine.
Her wide, trusting eyes pin themselves to my face. I wipe a sweaty hand down her cheek as reassuringly as I can. “You can take me. Your body will make way for mine.”
The wide violet eyes are full of trust and it only makes me harder.
“Yes, Victor, I believe in you.”
I lose control then. There’s no man on earth that would be able to hold himself back in this moment. I plunge forward, driving my shaft into her virgin pussy. She throws her head back and screams.
Her pussy convulses around me. I stroke her with hard, deep thrusts.
“This pussy is mine, Kotyonok,” I whisper harshly in her ear. “No one is allowed to touch it again, not even you, without my permission. No cock is near you. No seed in your body but mine. From this day forward, I own you.”
“And you, Victor?” she asks. Her violet eyes glow.
“And my body, my fists, my gun, my cock, my heart, my everything is at your small feet. You may step on me.” I hammer into her. “You may kick me.” I fuck her harder. “You may destroy me because I am yours to do what you will.”
I plunge in once more, bottoming out inside her tight, hot channel. My seed spills into her unprotected body. She comes with me. Her body is like a leaf in a hurricane. I curve around her, filling her from the inside and sheltering her on the outside. No one will ever touch my kotyonok again, for I would die to receive one more of her sweet kisses.
Epilogue
Violet
My back arches off the bed as Victor brings me to my third orgasm. “I can’t take anymore,” I whisper as my body comes back down from its peak. My whole body tingles and there isn’t a part of me that’s not sensitive.
“You taste different.”
I look down at Victor, who is studying my sex. He gives another long lick. My whole body jerks.
“Stop.” I pull at his short hair. Not that I can move the man unless he wants to be moved.
He looks up at me. “Something is different.”
I look around the beautiful hut we are staying at for our honeymoon trying to hide my secret. I had plans but Victor is going to ruin them. Last night I put together that I was pregnant and I tried to come up with a way to tell him. I thought I could tell him in Russian but it was really hard trying to figure out how to do that. Have you seen their alphabet? Google wasn't helping, nor was the service in this hut. I basically don’t have internet or cellular access. If I didn't know any better I’d say Victor was jamming it or something.
“Are you blocking my phone from working?” I try and sit up but don’t get very far. Victor crawls up my body pushing me back down onto the soft bed as he thrusts into me. I moan, forgetting my own question as I get lost in my husband. God, I love calling him that.
I had no idea that this was what married life was going to be like. He brings me to orgasm again before releasing deep inside of me. He rolls like he always does so he doesn't crush me under his big body. I sprawl out on top of him. I let my eyes flutter closed. I’m not sure if I drift off to sleep or not as his hands move up and down my bare back. I can’t tell you how long we’ve been on our honeymoon. We haven't left our hut except to swim. Usually all of our meals are brought to us. We are spending as much alone time together as we can. If it was up to Victor he would keep me in bed all day.
I let out a small yawn as I shift. Victor’s cock slips out from inside of me. He lets out a small groan. He’s still half hard. I don’t think this man is human. How is it possible that he takes me for hours and still wants more? The only thing he’s ever worried about is if my body is doing okay. I assure him that I can handle my husband.
As I lie here with him, it occurs to me that he never answered my question from earlier. When Victor doesn’t want to give me a straight answer he often uses pleasure to distract me. He always tells me the truth when I ask something so I’m thinking I might be right with the assumption of why my cell phone isn’t working. I bet his is. I’m sure for emergencies only. He does run a security firm so it’s understandable.
“My phone.” I narrow my eyes down at him. I’m completely naked. Unless you count my necklace and wedding ring. Victor’s eyes go from my breast up to meet my gaze.
“Does not require your attention. I do.” He sits up, tangling his hand in my hair as he kisses me deeply. I let out a soft moan into his mouth. I love how he can be forceful and soft all rolled into one. I really do love this man. He is everything I could have ever wanted. Not only that, I know he’ll always be at my side doing what is best for me. Even in the short time we’ve been together he’s proved that. Still, I think he’s hiding something. I know there must be a reason for it.<
br />
I pull back from the kiss. “Tell me.” I can read him. Not as good as he can read me but I am getting there.
“Your sister left.” He sighs.
“What do you mean left?” She was at the wedding. Hugged me goodbye before I left for my honeymoon. I knew she was set to start working for Victor.
“My main office isn't at the resort, Kotyonok.” I’d never thought about that. That would mean...Oh no. My thoughts begin to race in all different directions.
“But-” I start to panic. I don’t want my sister to leave. I’ve just gotten her back and we were closer than ever.
“She needs this, Kotyonok,” Victor encourages me. “Let her go for a little. Trust I know what I am doing. I would never let something happen to her. I know how much you love and care for your sister. If she hurts you hurt and if you hurt—” His face goes hard at just the idea of me being hurt. I rest my head on his chest, knowing he’s right. Amie needs to find her own way. She was always strong but my mother and Marks’ betrayal has done a number on her. I’m guessing being off on her own for a little will do her good. It will help rebuild that confidence she had before those two asshats tried to shatter it all. “We can go visit on the way home if you like.” My head pops up to look at him. “After the honeymoon.” I laugh. Yeah. It can wait. I’ll let Amie get her feet on the ground before I go check on her.
“After our honeymoon,” I agree. I tip my head back, offering my husband a kiss. He takes it.
“Even your kisses taste sweeter. I did not know this was possible.”
“I’m changing.” I give him a coy smile. I lick my lips.
“You need not change. I love my kotyonok how she is. Unless you want to change.” I smile at my perfect husband, knowing he’s going to make a perfect dad too.
“I’m pregnant,” I tell him. I watch his whole face light up with happiness. My whole body warms that I gave him that look. “Maybe that’s why I taste sweeter. ‘Cause there is going to be more of me,” I tease.
