FORTY-TWO

NIKOLAI

I don’t want to let go of her. I don’t want to pull my dick out as I fear this could very well be the last time I get to have this slice of heaven with her.

But, reluctantly, I do.

She pushes herself up and turns to face me, make-up streams down her face, and she has that beautiful red flush that makes my cock twitch again.

I swallow past the lump in my throat as we stare into each other’s eyes, everything that has been left unspoken between us weighing down heavily on me.

And I think she knows it too.

“Well, did it work? Did you fuck yourself out of love with me?”

She pushes her wet hair out of her face and I can see she’s holding back the tears.

I step forward, gripping her marked throat. “Far from it.”

As I release her, her chest rises and falls rapidly. There is fear in her eyes and my nostrils flare.

It isn’t hate I feel for her, the rage burning inside me is for whoever is hurting her.

“You we’re right.”

Her eyes flick to mine and I run a hand across my jaw.

“I could never stop loving you. Which only gives us one option now…” I trail off and she tips her head to the side, crossing her arms over her chest.

“The truth. I know.” She whispers.

Tipping her chin up to me, I nod.

“All of it. Let me in, baby. Whatever it is, we can fix this. Together.”

I pull her against my chest, stroking her cheek.

This woman was meant to be in my arms. I will fight for this and the answers I deserve.

Maybe, there is a chance we can make Elena happy together. A chance of a family again.

That is what led me here, back to her. I can’t let her go.

No matter what I do, I can’t cage my heart off to her, it doesn’t work.

FORTY-THREE

“Thank you for not killing me.” I snuggle against his hot chest in this tiny bed.

“The night isn’t over yet,” he rumbles. “You still haven’t told me what the fuck is going on.”

I take a deep breath and weigh all of my options. “In my line of work, information is valuable.”

He strokes my hip beneath the sheet before pinching my ass, hard enough to make my pussy soak. “This is valuable. Do you want me to spank you so hard, you can’t sit?”
