“So, are you going to finallytell me where we’re headed?” she asked him.
“Very well. I’ve kept you in the dark far too long,” Nikolai answered. “We’re heading off to one of my private islands in the Caribbean for the weekend.”
“Oneof the?” Veronica asked, raising an eyebrow. She was impressed.
“We won’t be disturbed there,” he said, raising her hand and placing a kiss on her fingers.
“What about work?” Veronica asked her.
“I told my men I’m not to be disturbed unless it’s really important,” Nikolai answered.
Veronica leaned her head against his shoulder, marveling at how in a short amount of time, she had grown unexpectedly comfortable around him. She never felt that way with anyone before.
The plane took off smoothly. One of the stewardesses offered them wine, which they accepted. “How long is the flight?” she asked her husband.
“Not long, around four hours,” he answered with a shrug.
Veronica sipped her wine. Nikolai, she noticed, had been true to his word. Since they exchanged vows, he had not checked his phone once. Once the seat belt sign was off, she took hers off. Nikolai shot her an inquisitive look.
“Then we best make use of that time,” she said. Nikolai grinned and followed her to the back of the plane, where their private room was.
Nikolai opened the door, letting her enter first. Veronica gasped as she spotted the rose petals scattered on the floor and the impressive king-sized bed. The cabin windows were all open, showing her a glimpse of bright blue skies.
“Wow,” she whispered. A bottle of champagne awaited them, along with matching silk robes she couldn’t wait to try on.
Nikolai came up behind her and pulled her in his arms. He kissed her nape. Veronica turned to rest her arms on his shoulders.
“You like your surprise?” he asked.“There’s something else you didn’t see.”
Nikolai snatched an innocent white box on the table next to him. He kissed her then handed her the box. Veronica took the lip off and spotted the sexy lingerie. She smiled. She held the two pieces up. The thin black fabric barely covered anything. Veronica supposed that was the point. Just thinking about the expression on Nikolai’s face when she wore these garments excited her. Would he rip them off like a savage or be delicate?
“You expect me to wear this for you, husband?”
Nikolai growled in her ear and began tugging down the straps of her dress. Veronica let him. She couldn’t wait to see what else Nikolai had in mind for this evening.

Nikolai held his wife close while she recovered her breathing. Sweat cooled on their bodies. He couldn’t remember the number of times he’d been inside her during their honeymoon. Both lay entwined on the bed, forty-thousand feet in the air.
Taking the entire weekend off and letting his second and third handle business-related matters was something he’d never done before. Nikolai ran his empire like a tight ship. Normally, he didn’t like putting anyone else at the helm but since Veronica entered his life, his priorities had changed.
“I wish we could stay like this forever,” Veronica whispered, twining her fingers with his.“I want to go back to our island.” Veronica giggled.
“What’s so funny?” Nikolai asked.
“That I’m calling it our island,” she answered, gazing up at him. She ran oneslender finger up his chest, her touch feathery soft.
“What’s mine is yours. You know this,” he said.
Truth be told, Nikolai was similarly tempted to tell the pilot to turn the plane around and return to the island. Two days of simply waking up to the gorgeous sight of sprawling beaches and the peaceful sea with Veronica draped next to him was real paradise. However, Nikolai could not linger in nirvana forever. He finally checked his phone messages earlier that morning and saw numerous texts from Yuri and Ivan. Nikolai had a hundred problems to solve, allies to deal with, and enemies to kill. That was simply part and parcel of his life.
“I can have the pilot send you back to the island. You can spend a few more days there,” he said, stroking her hair.
She let out a sigh of contentment. Nikolai trailed his other finger down her left nipple, tracing his bite mark there. She shuddered when he moved his fingers lower and stroked her pussy.
Nikolai had ridden her bare back every single time, and his seed was sure to catch. Veronica wasn’t worried about protection either and the prospect of a child seemed to excite her. Nikolai knew that her experience had been a harsh teacher for his young wife. Veronica was only in her mid-twenties and yet she experienced tragedy upon tragedy. So he made her a promise that he would make sure no harm would come upon them and their future family.
“No, my place is with you. I can’t hide on an island while my husband is running his kingdom,” she pointed out.
