Page 39 of Hostage of the Bratva

Stepping out on the balcony, we heard voices approaching. Holding her legs, I pushed her into the air so the guards could pull her up. Once she was safely on the roof, I got onto the railing, it was my turn. As the guards pulled me up, I heard the door swinging open. We would need to move quickly, but we had to keep quiet, so they didn’t know we were on the roof.

“What,” a voice echoed through the room. “It was a distraction,” the voice screamed. “Get out there and get them. Use any way necessary.”

We realized we didn’t have time to be careful. We ran across the roof back to the wall. Skyler went down first, thenSergei and me, before the guards came down. Once on the ground, we flooded into the cars and took off.

Having her in my arms gave me great relief and peace. I held her tight as we drove and never wanted to let go again. Recognizing I had fallen in love, I kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear. “Skyler, you mean so much to me.”

She glanced up at me, beaming as she hugged me tighter. We didn’t go back to the yacht or Roman’s place. I had Sergei drop us off at a hotel for the night. He would collect Bunny and keep him for the night. Tomorrow was another day. We would gather in the morning and make other plans for suitable accommodation.

After booking in under another name we headed upstairs to the penthouse. Skyler clung to me without fail as we moved up and into the room. Once we were alone, we could finally talk.

“I’m so sorry, Luder,” Skyler said as the door closed.

I smiled, taking her by the shoulders and holding her in front of me. “No, there is nothing to be sorry about, hun. I am just so happy that you are safe.” Grinning, I pulled her back into my arms and just held her. Just having her in my arms gave me peace of mind.

I picked her up and carried her to the chaise. Placing her down, I spoke softly, “You rest, I will pour a bath and order room service. How does that sound?” Skyler smiled and nodded as she rubbed her wrists.

They were quite red with deep lines on them. “Do they hurt a lot?” I asked.

“It’s more of a burning than pain,” she replied softly.

“In the morning, I will have the doctor take a look, for now, we will clean them and apply some cream. How does that sound?”

Skyler nodded slowly without looking up as she drew a line over the markings with her finger.

Moving to the bathroom, I grabbed the portable landline from its nook. The bath was larger than I thought, but that was perfect. Opening the taps, I poured half a bottle of bubble bath in and dialed room service. The bath was shaped like a large shell, which was fascinating.

Once the bath was more than halfway filled, I closed the taps and lit the candles around the room. Walking out, I glanced back as I turned the light off. It was perfect.

Entering the lounge, the doorbell rang. “Just in time,” I said, opening the door. The young man pushed the trolley inside. It was loaded with all kinds of fun foods. “Thanks, you can just leave it here,” I said, tipping him.

I pushed the trolley into the bathroom and went back for my bride. Skyler was still on the chaise, looking around the room. She seemed far away as I approached. Tonight, I will make her forget, I swore to myself as I stopped next to her.

Skyler allowed me to pick her up again. I carried her to the bathroom. As we entered, she smiled at me. “This is beautiful,” she breathed out softly as I lowered her to her feet.

“Skyler,” I said, lifting her head. “I meant what I said. I will always protect you and the baby.”

As her lips parted, I leaned in and kissed her. I felt her softly gasping for air as our lips met. She wrapped her arms around my neck. Her mouth was inviting and warm, her kiss was tender.

Slowly, I started removing her clothes. My heart raced as my hands moved over her silky soft skin. In turn, she stripped me of my jacket and shirt. Feeling her tender touch sent trembles up my spine, exploding my brain. This was nothing like before.

Even though we have had sex twice now, this felt different. I felt sweat developing in my palms, removing the last of her clothing. Stepping back to rid myself of my pants, Icouldn’t help but admire her beauty. She was exquisite, every inch of her gorgeousness making all my senses tingle.

Skyler stood there before me naked, biting her lower lip and swaying lightly from side to side as I tried to get out of the constraints of my pants. My mind went scrambling as my breathing suddenly turned laborious. Stumbling backward as my pant leg caught on one foot, I bounced around, trying not to end up on the floor.

Skyler giggled as I struggled and turned the atmosphere promptly. I stopped, placed my foot down, and stepped on the side of my pants with my other foot. Pulling myself from my pant leg, I stepped up to her and pulled her into my arms.

My skin pricked as our bodies met, and my dick instantly rose to the occasion. I lifted Skyler and lowered her into the tub before pulling the trolley closer and joining her. I poured us each a glass of alcohol-free champagne and pulled her closer.

She was beaming, and I felt satisfied that I was able to lighten her mood. She had been through a lot, and tonight, I wanted her to forget the world outside. Staring at her made my heart leap. My breath caught as she turned and lay back against me, sipping from her glass and caressing my leg.

Adding soap to the sponge, she allowed me to lather her neck, arms, and breasts. As I moved, I felt my dick throbbing against her back. Every inch of my being wanted her. Rinsing her neck and arms, I gracefully placed delicate kisses down her arms.

Skyler turned her head, meeting my lips with pure passion. Her hand reached up and settled in my neck as we kissed. I felt my heart about to burst with love as our lips played and our tongues met.

“I love you,” I breathed out into her mouth.
