“I’d be pissed off at you if you didn’t.”

I laughed, so full of joy at her fierce tone, I thought I might burst. “You’re always going to find something to be pissed off at me about, aren’t you?”

She grabbed my shoulders and looked deep into my eyes, arching her back as my fingers worked her clit. “Why are you still talking? I need you inside me.”

“I changed my mind,” I said, nudging her backwards so I could nuzzle her tits. “I want to play with you instead.”

She moaned and yanked at her top until her breasts were free, nipples tight little peaks I couldn’t keep from licking. Her head dropped back, then she caught my attention again, fire in her eyes and breath heaving.

“T-tell me you’ve never done any of this with her,” she pleaded. “Even if it’s a lie, just tell me you haven’t.”

Her words made my fingers still against her sweet, wet pussy, a feat I didn’t think was possible. I took her face in my hands and glared at her.

“I’ll never lie to you. Do you hear me, Theresa? It’s total honesty from me, and I expect the same from you. Do you understand me, little one?”

She nodded, her eyes filling. “I understand.”

I shook my head and kissed her. “I’ve never been with Sofia. I can barely stand to kiss her in greeting.”

She shuddered, a smile wreathing her pretty face, the tortured look dropping away. She took my hands and placed one on her breast and pushed the other one back between her legs. “Get back to work or I’ll take over.”

My eyes widened, and my cock pulsed at that suggestion. “I want to see you do that one day.” I sunk my fingers back inside her. “But not today. I’m done playing.”

“Good,” she said, pulling closer to me. With a few quick tugs, my pants were down around my hips so my cock could spring free. Her eyes closed as she wrapped her hand around my pulsing shaft. “I can’t wait anymore, Aleksei.”

A second later, I had my cock deep inside her tight sheath, pounding hard enough to make her cute little ass slap against the marble counter. She wrapped her arms around my neck and held on, crying out just moments before I had to spill my seed inside her. We were in perfect sync, and my shout mingled with hers. I held her close to me for so long I grew soft, then hard again. I kissed her, gathering her up to carry her to the bedroom. We had a lot of catching up to do.

Chapter 13 - Theresa

Once again, I found myself waking up in Aleksei’s bed, with him gently stroking my shoulder. The light from the window told me in no uncertain terms that I stayed far too long. It was after dark, and we’d been in bed for hours. How could I let things get so out of control?

I let him pull me into his arms and buried my face in his chest, breathing in his spicy scent and curling my fingers into his firm arm. Even utterly sated and boneless, I still couldn’t believe I let this happen. Again.

I only came here to do the right thing. Let him know he was going to be a dad. I expected him to want to have some kind of contact, because I knew he was a good person. But to declare I was his and that he was canceling his engagement? I knew good and well what kind of upheaval that would cause if he messed with the Pavlovs.

As usual, when my mother thought someone might be able to benefit her, she did her research. While not as powerful and ruthless as the Morozovs, the Pavlovs were dangerous all the same. And I’d witnessed firsthand how quickly Roman Pavlov could start spitting fire, just because his drink order wasn’t right. How badly would he react if his spoiled, beloved daughter got jilted? Aleksei would get a lot worse than that poor server at my art show.

During our feverish afternoon in bed, I learned that Aleksei’s engagement was exactly the same as mine. A contract to join families for monetary gain, or in Aleksei’s family’s case, to honor an old commitment. He couldn’t just decide that he was out, just like I couldn’t, no matter how miserable he was about it. Yet here we were, snuggled up together like it was a done deal. His touch made me unable to be reasonable.

I had to shove away from him to be able to think straight, and locked myself in the bathroom, staring at myself in the mirror and trying not to be sick. What was I supposed to do? I wasn’t anywhere near being over Aleksei, but today had only made it worse. I’d never stop thinking about him now.

But I had to, for the greater good. I refused to have a war started on my behalf.

I’d always been fiercely independent. I had to be, since I was basically raised by a string of housekeepers who often forgot I existed. When I was old enough to travel on my own, I really got a taste for independence, enjoying my fleeting freedom in all the places my mother sent me to sell our stolen wares. As much as the idea of belonging to Aleksei made me shiver when he was kissing me all over, was I really ready to concede that freedom? Hell no.

I was sure I could still find a way to wriggle out of my own arrangement with Donny. Pretty sure, anyway. What I was definitely positive of was that Aleksei wasn’t going to find a way out so easily. And I wouldn’t—couldn’tbe his side woman. I’d end up in prison for murder the day after he got married.

I found my spine and left the bathroom, instantly losing my resolve when he grinned and held out his arms to me, coaxing me back into bed. No! I didn’t belong there, and it hurt too much to pretend.

“Aleksei,” I sighed, finding my discarded clothes and putting them back on.

I blushed when I pulled my sundress down over my naked backside, since once again my panties were in tatters somewhere.

“What is it, little one?”

The nickname tore at my heart as much as it heated my core. It pissed me off how easily he could control me. But no, I was the one in control. I had to be. “You know we can’t do this.”

He sat up, his brow furrowing and those lips that had kissed me senseless turning down in a frown. “I don’t know any such thing. Now get back over here.”
