Page 35 of The Sicilian Heir
"I thought I told you to go to the safe room," I chided.
She ducked her head. Her cheeks heated with embarrassment. "We were in such a rush that I didn't get to ask where it was. By the time I found it, that guy had found me." She pointed to Sergei, who was groaning on the floor at the bottom of the stairs.
He was cradling his knee and whimpering. Blood pooled around him.
"Right. How did you take out so many?" I didn't mean to sound suspicious, but her head snapped up and her eyes flashed angrily.
"I told you I was trained in many different styles of fighting," she barked.
I nodded my head and held a hand out to ward off her anger. I didn't want to fight with her. Not right now.
"You can have him as soon as I'm done." She hit Alexei in the face.
He groaned and his eyes fluttered open. "W-what?" His disoriented gaze flicked to me and then back to Eunji. Before he could get his bearings, Eunji had a knife dug into his face, having grabbed it when they were in the office.
She slowly carved two S's in his face as he screamed from the pain. They were deep and looked painful and jagged. She then slashed through the S's and carved a circle around all of it. It took a while. There was so much blood on the floor, I was going to have to hire a cleaning crew. I walked away while Eunji was distracted with her masterpiece. I entered my father's office, a place I hadn't been in since his death. I opened the safe and grabbed something important out of it. By the time I was back downstairs, Eunji was done with her prey.
"He's all yours now," she said, her eyes defiant.
She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She also could have died. I frowned at the thought. I sent her away to keep her safe, instead of taking her with me. She was my woman, but she was also a fighter, a survivor. I needed her with me. I wasn't going to take my eyes off her for a long time after this. I dropped to my knee. Eunji looked down at me, confused.
"Little lotus, this is probably not the most romantic time to do this, but I need to make you mine in all ways. You are so much stronger than I have given you credit for. I need you. You change my outlook on life. My cold heart is warm and full because of you. Please become my wife and make me the happiest man on earth. It won't be safe, but we'll be together." I held my breath, waiting for her answer.
She just kept looking at me. She didn't say anything. Her face gave nothing away. Then she leaned down and slapped me as hard as she could. Before I could ask her why she did it, she leaned down and kissed me. It was a kiss of ownership. I knew she was going to make me beg in delicious ways later.
"Yes. This was so not the time to ask me, but after what we shared on the couch, how could I not want to be your woman?"
I heard Luciano gagging in the background, but I didn't care. I picked my woman up and carried her to the bedroom. It was time for us to claim each other. But first, I stripped her out of her clothes and drew a bath for us both. We were going to have to soak. I needed to call the family doctor to see to her injuries.
As much as I wanted her, I needed to take care of her more. I held her close to me as I ran the bath. I dropped some lavender smelling shit in the tub and watch it turn a girly color. Anything for Eunji. I suppressed a sigh. My cock was aching, but I wanted to wipe the look Eunji had in her eyes right off. I wanted her to know that this was real. That I was real. I stepped into the tub with her, carrying her like the bride she would soon be. Her body was wracked with shivers.
"It's over, little lotus," I soothed. I ran my hands down her body, washing the blood off her gently.
"It doesn't feel over," Eunji said ominously.
I feared she was right. Just because Alexei was soon to be dead, didn't mean the Russians were going to let it go. They would scramble to promote another leader. There would probably be inner fights for power. That could take their eyes off us for a while. But once that was said and done, they would want to hit us back. We'd slighted them far too many times. I know if it were me, I would try to wipe out the entire Sicilian syndicate before it grew too large. I was going to have to come up with a counterplan with Nick, so we would be prepared for anything they threw at us. Although, Nick had been distracted of late. I couldn't understand losing a child, but I knew it wasn't easy. He just wasn't dealing with it healthily. I had heard reports he was never home anymore. He was drinking and partying away, leaving Rose by herself.
"Do you think we should invite Rose back here?" I cupped a handful of water in my hands and let it flow over Eunji's hair. She had blood soaking in it, and I was going to gently wash and condition it for her. Her head fell back, and she let out a small moan.
"I think we should. I had it out with Nick, but I don't think anything I said fazed him," she murmured.
I shook my head, even though she couldn't see it.
"The reports I've had aren't pretty at all."
Eunji scoffed. I knew she was disgusted by Nick's actions. "He doesn't deserve her," she whispered to me.
I pressed her body tighter against mine. I wasn't going to be able to get enough of my woman. Now that she'd said yes to me, I wanted the quickest wedding known to man. I didn't want the shit show Rose had. But I was going to have to follow my little lotus' lead. I was able to snap her shoulder back into place, but I was still going to have the doctor check her out after she'd had some rest.
"I love you, you know, that right?" I caressed her ear with my breath.
Her breathing changed, rapidly picking up. I trailed my hand down the front of her body. "Y-yeah. I l-love you too," she stammered.
I bit back a laugh. She was easily distracted by my wayward hand. I wanted to stop, give her time to wrap her mind around all the violence she'd seen, but I wasn't a saint. She was naked in front of me, her luscious curves pressed against me.
My dick strained to get inside her. For now, I would tease her. I played with her folds, not touching where I knew she wanted me to. She moaned and thrust her hips upward, trying to direct me where she wanted. I smacked her pussy, splashing water all around. I tsked so she knew I was only slightly displeased. She wiggled her ass against me, gyrating slowly. Fuck it. I could slip inside. Just the tip. I'd give her just the tip and soothe the ache I was feeling. I lifted her up and lowered her down on me gently. I stopped right in her entrance and groaned. What I wouldn't give to jam my cock deep inside her. I figured Eunji would perch on top of me and let me finish her bath. No such luck. My naughty little vixen arched her back and moved my hands. She simultaneously dropped her hips onto my cock, impaling herself completely on me. My shout was hoarse and echoed off the walls of the bathroom.
"Fuck, baby, ugh." My unintelligible words came out warbled and strained. Eunji looked back at me and shot me a devious smile. Oh, it's on, little minx.
