I cupped her cheek, pulled her up so she was lying on top of me, and pressed my lips against hers in a hard kiss.
She closed her eyes and went slack against my body like I knew she would.
Handing the control over to me so beautifully.
My pet.
My love.
My wife.
TWO YEARS AFTER THAT - NIKOLAY
My boys were driving now.
Fuck me, but I was getting old.
Legally, they couldn’t drive without an adult in the car, but when had the law ever stopped the Sokolov men from doing anything?
Dmitriy was still the rowdier of the twins, but both of my kids had inherited my wild streak because it was almost impossible to get them to stay where I fucking put them.
And if they ditched their fucking guards one more time, I was going to—
Fuck me.
I didn’t know what I would do.
Catalina watched me with an amused smile on her face. “You know they’re okay, right?”
“How would you know that?”
She showed me her phone, and I looked down at the text she’d just received from Konstantin.
A picture of him and his brother sitting in an ice cream shop with a girl between them. And in the background were three of their guards.
I laughed. “You think they’re following their dad and uncles’ footsteps?”
Catalina bit her bottom lip. “I hope not. That poor girl.”
I laughed again and buried my face in the crook of her neck.
Both boys had a weak spot for their mom. They would never do anything to upset Catalina.
Just like their uncles and me.
Fuck, but I wondered how powerful Catalina felt, knowing she had all of her men wrapped around her little finger like this.
She ran her hand down my back comfortingly, and I could feel myself calming. Even after all these years, she still had the power to quiet down all the voices running rampant in my mind, and I didn’t see that stopping any time soon.
I pulled away and took in her deep brown eyes.
Eyes that I would kill for without a single moment of hesitation.
“Princess. Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?”
She smiled sweetly at me, and I could feel my dick stirring from such a simple move.
“Only every day, but it’s nice to hear you still think so after all these years.”
