She didn’t know it yet, but he belonged toher.Not the opposite. From that very first night, Dimitri knew. He knew he was in trouble. Knew that one kiss, one taste, would never be enough. The grand gallery didn't impress her, and he couldn't help but fall for her a little more. The silly bet was just another reason to keep her close.

“Wrap your legs around me,” he said. With his heart racing, he quickened his thrusts and then pulled her into a breathtaking kiss that left them gasping for air. Their tongues dueled, and he trembled when she ran hers along the roof of his mouth. Another shudder rippled through Dimitri as she reached under their bodies and took hold of his testicles.

Sweet Jesus.

Her silent request was his undoing.

His testicles grew heavy, alone with his breathing. He can’t hold out any longer. “Come with me, sweetheart.” He gave her what she asked for, fucking her tight little pussy hard and fast.

“Dimitri, I’m going to come.” Her gaze locked with his and he swore their souls unlocked in unison.

“Come all over my dick, sweetheart.”

Gripping his ass, she dragged him deep and held him there as her entire body trembled.

“Fuck!” He hung on as if his life depended on it, emptying rope after rope of cum into her channel. His back bowed as his earth-shattering climax droned on and on, keeping him floating in a euphoric state.

This moment with Violet was worth every second of lost time.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Violet

Two months later

Violet glanced across the sofa and seeing the love reflected in Dimitri’s eyes as he watched Maddie practice her ballet melted her heart. Each day, Maddie moved farther away from the skeptical child that expected her father to leave. Their closeness was so heartwarming at times that Violet couldn’t help the regret that filled her at her own lack of family.

Although neither of them really knew Maddie before her mother left, Violet liked to imagine that the child dancing and giggling was a close replica.

It broke her heart to think of the pain Maddie must still feel from never seeing her mother again or not knowing if she ever will. But Maddie was a strong little girl, far stronger than Dimitri realized. Anger tore at her chest that she’d had to bestrong at such a young age, that her mother hadn’t chosen differently.

Yet, how could Violet hate May for wanting to leave Maddie with only the best memories? For not wanting to see her weak or sufficient, or helpless.

Her breath lodged painfully in her lungs. She should hate the woman for hurting Maddie but couldn’t. Instead, all she felt was an odd mix of gratitude. Had May’s circumstances been different, Dimitri wouldn’t have known his daughter and she might never have given their relationship a chance at love.

Her eyes widened. Love. Did she love him? Them. They’d shared so much and gotten closer as they cared for Maddie. Like now, watching them gave her enormous joy, but did she love him? They shared breathtaking nights wrapped in each other's arms only to part ways before Maddie woke. Yet, her heart throbbed in her chest as she caught his heated glances or felt the fleeting brushes from his hand when he passed her in a room. Were those intimate moments love?

What about the passion he stirred with his hungry kisses or his whispered words that stroked the flames of their desire hotter? Or the hollowness that vibrated in her stomach when she thought of him.

Love. Damnit, she wasn’t supposed to fall in love with her boss. Three months was all she’d promised and now her heart was in it for much longer. When had her walls crumbled?

Dimitri’s cheering broke through her musing and she blinked away the tears stinging her eyes. She clapped, though half the performance had passed in a blur. “Great job, Maddie.”

“You’re getting so much better, sweetheart.” Dimitri caught Maddie when she launched herself into his open arms.

“Do you think I’ll be ready for the recital next month?”

“I have no doubt,” Dimitri said. “I can’t wait to see you perform.”

Maddie turned her bright brown eyes toward Violet. “You’ll be there too, right?”

“I wouldn’t miss it for the world!” She said quickly, not wanting any doubt to cast a shadow over Maddie’s happiness.

“And so will Aunt Katya and Aunt Candice and your Uncle Alexei.”

Maddie lowered her eyes for an instant before nodding. When Dimitri’s smile faltered, Violet knew he’d guessed Maddie’s thoughts had shifted to her mother. No matter how much Dimitri tried to ease his daughter’s pain, wiping it away completely was impossible.

Secrets and pain. That’s what their relationship was born from and Violet didn’t want to make the same mistake. Although her emotions were a jumbled mess, she wanted to let Dimitri know that their relationship had turned into more than lust. She was more than Maddie’s nanny and he meant more to her than a boss.
