I can’t believe I’m saying this, but at the same time, I can. The words fall naturally from my lips—words I could never have imagined myself saying. But now I see myself telling her those same words every day for the rest of my life.

“I love you too, Viktor!” She gasps with delight, her eyes sparkling. “And thank you for what you did.”

I carry her into the bedroom and lay her down, stripping her naked beneath me. I’m aroused in an instant and slide into her, causing her mouth to fall open.

But this isn’t like before. This isn’t about lust, possession, or the desperate need that usually drives us together. This is about something else entirely.

I rut deep, kissing her lips with passion as I run my hands over her body. “You saved me,” I tell her, my lips finding the tender skin of her throat. “I was a dead man inside before I met you.”

“Viktor…”

“I built an empire on fear. I thought I had everything I needed.” My pace picks up. She’s so warm, so wet, and feels so good she’s nearly got my head spinning.

She pulls me closer, and we move in sync together. Two people, destined for each other. This isn’t fucking—this is making love. Something sacred I feel right down in my bones.

Every kiss I give her is a promise. Every touch a worship.

It’s not long before we’re coming together, her mouth opened wide in a moan that graces my ears. My body tense as I fill her with my seed.

Afterward, we lie tangled together, a blissful and sweaty mess. I pull her to the side, and she rests her head on my chest asI run my fingers through her hair. The lights from the city paint colored patterns on the ceiling.

And for the first time in my life, I feel totally at peace.

“My father really won’t be back?” she asks softly.

“No. I took care of him. He won’t bother you again.”

She nods against my chest, and her hand closes around my shoulder. “Part of me will always love him, even though he doesn’t deserve it.”

“That’s because you have a good heart, Bella.”

“And so do you,” she says, moving her hand to my chest. “I can feel it beating.”

“For you.”

She props herself up and looks down at me with those beautiful eyes that own me completely. “So what happens now?”

“Now?” I pull her back down, wrapping my arms around her. “Now everything changes.”

I kiss her deeply, tasting our future together.

It won’t be easy. Men like me never get fairytale endings. But for her, I’ll do whatever it takes. I’ll be more than the monster I’ve been.

Bella didn’t just save her father’s life tonight.

She saved mine too.

VIKTOR

“Oh,fuck yes, my queen. Take every inch of that cock, baby.” I look down at Bella’s plump lips wrapped around my thick shaft, her gorgeous eyes watering as she deepthroats me.

Her slick spit coats my swollen lust, driving me wild. She’s on her knees beneath my desk, having snuck in and hid there and surprised me during one of my meetings.

There I was, talking to Torrino about a possible alliance, and the next thing I know, I feel my fly being unzipped.

I knew right away it was her. But all I could do was sit still and keep a straight face while she pulled out my cock and slid it into her tender mouth.
