She nodded, knowing I was right, and relaxed against my chest. Just where I liked her to be. We passed her suite, shut up tight until it could be thoroughly cleaned. She shuddered and looked away.
“You never have to go back in there if you don’t want to,” I promised. “You’ll stay in my bed from now on.”
She sighed, then her eyes flew wide. “Hetty?” she asked. “They put something over my face, and I passed out. Is she all right?”
“Your maid is safe and sound. I sent her on a holiday with her family in Jamaica for a while, but she’ll be back.”
“She’s my friend,” Reina said. “She tried to save me when she could have run and hid on her own.”
“She’ll be well rewarded, my queen, don’t you worry about that.”
I nudged open my door and she gave one last long look down the hallway and stiffened in my arms. “Maksim,” she whispered. “I was so mean to him.”
I hurried into my room and set her feet on the floor, gathering her close as she collapsed against me, bitter tears streaming down her cheeks. I took a deep breath, knowing the pain of losing my cousin would hit me eventually. We all knew the life we led would most likely end in violence, likely even pain. It was still hard. Right now, I had to focus on Reina, not my own feelings.
“He was proud to be able to serve you,” I said, rubbing her back. “He wouldn’t want you to cry.”
She drew in a big, shaky breath and let it out, blinking away the last of her tears. “All right, if you say so.”
“I do. And while you’re doing what I say, how about you get a nice, hot shower.”
A tremor of a smile crossed her face as she nodded. “That sounds wonderful. I-I was tied up on the floor…”
I had to turn away so she wouldn't see the rage flash in my eyes. Anton may have gotten what he deserved, but there were still people out there that needed to pay for her suffering.
In the bathroom, I helped her get out of her clothes, angry at myself for not thinking to let her change sooner. Running my hands down her smooth skin, I inspected for any injuries, then ran the shower until steam billowed out from behind the glass door.
“I’ll be right here,” I told her, when she gave me a lingering look.
It only took a moment before I couldn’t stand it any longer and stripped off my own clothes. Pulling the door back, I stepped under the hot, stinging spray with her, reaching for the soap to suds her back. I massaged her shoulders as her head dropped forward, and I could hear her contented sigh over the rush of the shower. Directing her to close her eyes, I lathered her hair, carefully rinsing the grime of her imprisonment down the drain.
“I won’t let anything bad happen to you again,” I swore, standing behind her and letting my hands settle on her stomach. “Or the baby.”
She leaned back against me and reached up to run her fingers through my damp hair. Twisting her face up to me, I leaned down to give her a kiss. She arched her perfect ass against my quickly rising cock and moaned softly against my lips.
As much as I wanted her, she’d been through a lot and was exhausted. I had to control my own desires and restrain myself. Pulling away, I turned her to face me. Blinking moisture out of her big doe eyes, she searched my face. She was so, so beautiful. She stood on her toes beneath the spray and wrapped her arms around my neck.
“Ah, my sweet queen. I love you so much.” My heart soared at finally saying the words I’d been fighting for so long. “I adore you, Reina.” She smiled and pulled my head down for another kiss and my cock jumped against her belly. Once again I moved back. “Ignore that.”
She smiled wickedly and ground against me harder. “What if I don’t want to?” Her hand slid down my chest to grip my shaft. “Don’t you want to ask me what I want right now?”
My breath was trapped in my throat as I stared at my soaking wet, gorgeous wife. “Tell me what you want,” I demanded.
“You know, Ivan. You know exactly what I want.”
I did, and it was what I most desired as well. I picked her up, dragging her body against mine as I hauled her against the tiled wall. She wrapped her legs around my waist and clung to my shoulders. I was deep inside her before her gasp was fully past her lips. All the fear and anger while I frantically searched for her disintegrated as her mouth met mine, her moans mingling with my panting breaths. This felt good. This was heaven.
But I wanted more for my queen. We had a lifetime together to roughly fuck in the shower. Right now I wanted to lavish her the way she truly deserved. With my cock still buried deep in her tight pussy, I groaned and carried her out of the shower. I managed to grab a towel and drape it around her shoulders.
“Ivan,” she said, trying not to laugh at my fumbling antics. “What are you doing?”
“Wait and see, darling queen of mine.”
Her giggles as I carried her to the bed were a tonic to my soul. I never wanted to see her cry again, at least not today. I laid her on her back and settled between her thighs, staring into her eyes as I pushed her strands of hair off her face.
“You didn’t think this through, did you?” she asked.
While I loved the music of her laughter, I wasn’t trying to put on a comedy show. And no, I hadn’t thought it through. She made me wild, she made me thoughtless. She made me feel like I’d never really felt before.
