“Do you want to bet on it?” He has every right to be confident. I would lose every single time. “Three questions, little girl, then I fuck you.”

“D- do you love me, or are you… Oh, God… A-are you saying what you think will make me stay.”

“I love you,” he rasps, groaning when he thrusts his cock against my pussy harder. “Enough to want to be a better man, to not kill my worst enemy.”

“What?”

“The reason I left the hospital so abruptly was because of Anton; he is my cousin. He and his father have always wanted a bigger slice of the pie, so to speak, and he is the reason Arya had that accident.” Vlad kisses my shoulder as if he didn’t just confess to someone trying to take his sister’s life. “I was going to kill him today, but the thought of you looking at or thinking ofme as a monster is the only reason I did not pull that trigger. I love you enough to overlook my rage. So, I let him go after a few love pats.”

I don’t even want to ask what he means by ‘love pats.’

I’m floored by his words. This is no typical love confession, but hearing these words from him sends my heart thumping with affection.

“I…I don’t know what to say.”

“Say you’ll stay.” My breath catches in my throat when I feel the hard press of his cock against my slick entrance. “Stay, in Valor Springs and with me.”

“I’ll stay.”

Vlad buries his cock in me with a triumphant roar, and I cry out and fall forward, my hands catching me on the wet wall as he starts to rut into me in brutal pumps. His hands rake my back, slipping into my hair and fisting a handful as he rams his cock into me like a beast. And perhaps I am one too because I push back against his thickness.

“I’ll take care of you. Protect you,” he grinds out roughly. “You are mine, my little fairy. You belong to me.”

“Yours,” I sob, rising on my toes as he thrusts his shaft into me in fast strokes, causing a hot sensation to ripple through my abdomen, slowly spreading through the rest of my body. Vlad flattens me against the wall, his drives rough, and I am practically trembling when he dips his fingers between my thighs and strums my clit in fast strokes.

Oh, fuck!

“Vlad,” I sob as my sex constricts around his cock, pulsing violently as an orgasm tears through my body. I jerk hardagainst him as pleasure spreads to the tips of my toes, a violent tremble racking my body.

“Fuuuck, baby!” he growls against my ear a second before his muscles still and he spills his seed into my womb, pounding brutally into me like an animal with his hips smacking hard against my ass until I have milked him to the last drop. His cock jerks inside of me one last time before he slumps against my back, his breathing as heavy as mine. I lose the grip on my hair, and when I turn around to face him this time, he doesn’t stop.

My legs are weak, but I force them to stay grounded as I look at the man for the first time since he snuck into the house. Christ, there is something about those dark eyes that don’t feel human, and every time our eyes lock, I’m surprised at how beautiful they are. How perfect this man is and…he loves me?

I cup his jaw and scratch his beard, loving how soft it feels under my fingers before leaning in to kiss him. It’s only a brush of lips, but it’s enough to send my heart clenching with affection. “I love you,” I say, pulling back to look at him. “I just met you, but I love you. Crazy, don’t you think?”

“It is.”

Vlad cradles the back of my head and leans down to slant his mouth over mine, our tongues meeting in a dance so carnal, it’s sinful. I wrap my arms around him to deepen the kiss when the sound of a door slamming downstairs snaps me back into the present. “I think Annie is home,” I tell him, withdrawing from the kiss. “Unless it’s another intruder.”

“Then he’ll have me to deal with.”

There is a brisk knock on my bedroom door followed by my aunt’s voice. “Rue, are you in there?”

“Yeah, don’t come in,” I call out. “I’ll be down in a sec.” I wait to hear her footsteps as she moves away from the door before turning to Vlad, who’s watching me. “We should go down. I think it’s time I introduce you to my aunt. Though, I suppose you’ve already met, haven’t you?”

Vlad grabs my chin and tips it up before leaning down to brush his lips over mine in a final, lingering kiss. “I only care what you think of me, Rue. Only you.” I can feel his cock hardening against my thigh, and that is enough to have me taking a step away from the insatiable man. I need to leave before he bends me over in the shower once more.

With a last peck on his bearded jaw, I reach behind him to grab a towel before slipping out. “I love you, but I’ll need to use my legs at some point.”

His deep husky laugh follows me out, and I can’t help but melt at the sound of it. Now that… I look forward to hearing that in the future. Forever if I can help it.

Epilogue

One Year Later

Vlad

The sound of laughter welcomes me when I walk into the greenhouse, telling me exactly which corner my wife is in. I walk past the rows of flowers, the soft gravel crunching beneath my feet as I try to locate my wife, who I know I’ll find crouched somewhere tending to her babies, as she calls the plants.
