Sebastian shrugged and walked toward Jasmine, studying her. “How far do you want to go?”

She stood and backed away. “Wh-what are you talking about?”

“You are a threat to the woman I love,” Alex said in a menacing voice. “I will not allow any harm to come to Anna.”

Jasmine’s face turned pale. “I wouldn’t really do anything to her,” she squeaked.

“I won’t take your word for it.” Alex growled and Jasmine jumped.

“Please don’t kill me!”

Alex laughed. “You haven’t done anything to deserve that. Yet.” His anger bubbled to the surface. “And you will not be allowed to reach that point.”

He glanced at Sebastian. They were going to erase all memories of Devin and, hopefully, the process would make her more pleasant to be around. He was glad Sebastian was here. The last thing he wanted to do was fry her mind.

Chapter 154

Warmth surrounded Anna like sunlight on a warm spring day. She stretched and smiled at the sound of a deep chuckle next to her. Alex! He was alive! She was with him, snuggled up close in bed.

As she opened her eyes, a rush of emotions flooded her heart, cherishing every second of waking up next to her beloved husband for the first time in years. The warmth of his body next to hers made her feel whole again.

The smile on his face and the love in his eyes made her heart pound. “Guten Morgen.” Leaning closer, he planted a soft kiss on her lips. His arm was bent at the elbow, head resting on his fist. His other hand lay heavy on her ribs. A good heavy.

“Good morning.” The corners of his eyes crinkled as he smiled at her.

She noticed a round scar on his right side, just under his clavicle near his shoulder. Her hand ran up his chest to trace the light spot with her finger. “I don’t remember this. What happened?”

He rolled his eyes to the right and down, as if he could try to see it, and frowned. “Oh, that? It only shows up when I get really tan—I’ve been sitting up on our rooftop garden a lot lately, hoping to spot this girl from the neighborhood.”

She smiled at his deflection, but gave the scar a small push. “No, really.”

He grimaced. “I pissed someone off when we first arrived at Vitaly’s and they shot me.”

Anna gasped. “Oh, Alex!” She leaned up and kissed the pale skin. “Did it hurt?”

“Hurt like hell, but no permanent damage.” He frowned and his eyes darkened.

“What’s wrong?”

He grimaced and shook his head. “Just... memories.” Alex slid his hand around the back of her head. “Memories that will fade.”

She wanted to ask about them, but he kissed her and the idea flew away. He rolled onto his back, bringing her with him.

His cock teased her pussy, and she squirmed and tried to lower herself on his body to take him inside her. Grasping her hips, he obliged, pushing her down. Her wet, swollen folds separated to allow him in.

They both sighed as he filled her completely and they lay there quietly, feeling each other in the most intimate way. Anna lay her head on his chest and listened to his heart pounding. She shifted her hips and the pounding got louder and quicker.

She grinned and lifted her head to look at him.

He smiled. “You did that on purpose.”

She shrugged innocently and his smile turned into a wicked grin. He mumbled something in German and grasped her hips, holding her as he slammed up into her.

“Oh!” She sat up, arching her back with her hands resting on his chest. She tried to move with him, but his strong hands held her still as he repeatedly pounded his full length inside her. His abdominals contracted with every thrust, and the muscles in his upper body flexed as he held her immobile. Her head fell forward and she moaned loudly as he took her with loving force. “Oh, God, Alex!” She screamed as she came with such force it nearly blinded her. The colors exploded inside her like fireworks, consuming her every thought and nerve.

His hands tightened on her waist, his fingers digging into the soft flesh as he exploded inside her. “Oh, meine Anna!”

She slumped forward onto his chest, unable to stay upright. Alex slowly stroked her back and she listened to his heartbeat slow. “I think that’s my favorite sound,” she murmured, tracing a finger around his nipple.
