Page 7 of The Rain of Love

Gabriel makes his eyebrows dance to play along with my playfulness. My giggle spreads all over the room when he wriggles his arms to my back and pushes me closer to him. I shriek his name when he suddenly lifts me to be on top of him.I love a strong man!I thought while running my palms over his chest.

"This better," Gabriel holds my waist and slides me a bit; my crotch levels his. I bite my lips to savor the tiny pleasure of his cock twitching under me. "It's your turn to satisfy me, Pet."

I frown a little; I hate how he calls me. But the devious smile on his face inspires me to do it.Ironic.I hate the Bratva life, but I’m attracted to a man with a character that is almost a Bratva.

Gabriel

The thunder vibrates in my ear, waking me with a light tickle. I open my eyes and see the dim light from the window. I smile as the sound of pouring rain grows louder. How long has it been raining? I fell into a deep sleep again while hugging Sasha. Her softness is like magic, soothing my tired muscles. Her scent is enchanting, sending me into the land of sweet dreams.

No woman or person has done that to me since my mother died. I don't even sleep next to the woman I fuck. But with Sasha, part of me wants to stay asleep and be trapped in a beautiful dream with her.

I turn around to hug her but find the other side empty. The thunder rumbles again, giving my heart a shock of fear. “Sasha,” I call while heading to the bathroom. She isn’t there.Shit!Did she leave? Did she realize how fucking fast things happened between us?

Contingencies don't scare me. After all, I knew Sasha from all the information I gathered about her. But I never thought she'd be the contingency.

Technically, Sasha only met me yesterday when she ran to the guard house. Yes. I planned to make her fall in love. It involved charming her while pretending to be a guard in their exclusive dormitory. Everything about me was supposed to be a lie to get her to pity me and eventually fall for me. I even agreed to create some stupid story about having a fat girl as my first love.

Yesterday wasn't part of the plan. I never thought Sasha would come to the guard house after the rain or return after I almost threw her out. Yes. I made Vigo convince her to be closer to me, but I didn't expect everything to move so fast. I never thought I'd be fucking her on the first day we met. And what's more surprising? I've convinced her to try becoming my sub.

"Sasha!" The thunder roars, burying my voice. My palms become sweaty, and the hair on my skin stands when she doesn't answer after I repeatedly call her. Did she leave? Our craziness in the past two days is almost too good to be true. A sheltered girl might find it too scary.I can’t let her leave me.

I rush to the stairs to look for her.Sasha.My heart calms down when I see her on the porch, wearing another one of my shirts. She looks like a mermaid, with her red hair flowing just above her waist.

Sasha's lovely face prompts me to hug and kiss her, thankful she's still here. "What is it with you and the rain?" I ask while sniffing her hair. "I thought you left."

Her hands on my back slide down, but her shoulders remain on my chest. I run a palm through her hair and lift her face to mine. Sasha softly smiles and admits, "I thought about it."

I slightly grab her hair as my anger almost erupts. But I don’t understand what I’m angry about anymore. Is it because she wanted to leave me? Or is it because I almost lost her? Either way, all my plans would have changed. A part of it has already changed. I can’t complicate it with Sasha returning to her father. I can’t keep her safe from me if she’s with Xerxes.

"Because we are going too fast?" I ask. Sasha shakes her head. I frown and, in a frustrated voice, add, "Then what?"

"I could kill you," Sasha's voice shakes as she holds back her tears.

My eyes widen with shock. The cold from the rain seeps through my skin and freezes me.She could kill me?I try to laugh it off, but her words trigger my anger. They reminded me of what her father almost did to me. Xerxes Belov wanted me dead. He could have killed me and can still kill me. Sasha's answer stirs the five-year plan I organized. Did I plan it well? Is it I who wants her trapped? Or am I trapped?

“One truth. I’m not a simple girl, Gabriel,” I calm down after realizing she’s only opening herself to me. “I’m somebody who can get you killed just because we made love.’

I wrinkle my forehead and pretend to be confused. “Are you scaring me away?”

"No. It's the truth. I'm… I'm a daughter of a Bratva leader," I can feel Sasha's worry in her voice. "And I am betrothed to a Bratva heir."

Fear and anger create bothersome voices in my head. Sasha knows the truth about Dmitri Fador. Vigo must have told her and used it to push her to me. I clench my jaw and curl my fingers into fists to control my growing rage. It's what I wanted, planned, and needed. But I hate that Sasha came to me to escape Dmitri Fador. And not because she fell in love with me.

No.All the things Sasha did with me were actions of love. They were not lies or acts of desperation to get away from Xerxes's plan. Still, my rage continues to grow. Not to Sasha but to Dmitri. Who is he? I've spent years planning to get Sasha on top of my cock, in my arms, and into my life. And even when I didn't plan it, I'm slowly considering letting her into my heart. This Dmitri enters the scene and will have Sasha with just his name? I'll never let that happen. He can never have her.

“You’re speechless. You must be shocked about who I really am, huh?” Sasha’s eyes become teary, showing her worry that I may have changed my mind. “Or angry because I didn’t tell you before we…”

"No. It's just that… for a moment, I was scared I'll lose you," the words flow like they are absolute truth. Sasha's tears fall to her cheek. I wipe them for her and whisper, "Don't marry him without giving me a chance."

“Didn’t you hear me? My father and my fiancé’s family will kill you,” Sasha expresses, but I can see her desire to take my offer. “I can’t let you take that risk.”

I pull her close and kiss her. “They can’t kill me,” I say while gently patting her back.Because I will kill them first.

Dmitri Fador will not be Xerxes's escape. Sasha will never be Dmitri's wife. They can all go to hell with me, but Sasha will stay, and if she has to, she will have to come with me.
