His hands move to my hips. He wants to guide me, but I won’t have it.
I stay still to make my point.
“Careful,” he warns, his eyes filled with wickedness.
I lean in, my lips are inches from his. “Right now, I need control.”
There’s a second of understanding. Viktor lets go of my hips and places his hands behind his head. I start moving. Watching him as I give him pleasure does something that words fall short of describing, so instead of talking, I show him.
Viktor and I know what we are to each other. Nothing and no one can come between us.

We’re laying in silence, savoring the last few hours. Despite feeling drained, I can’t imagine falling asleep. The electricity of our passion is still coursing through me.
“How are you feeling?” Viktor asks while peering at the ceiling.
I roll onto my side to face him. “I don’t know.”
“I know you feel betrayed, but that isn’t true, far from it. If it were the other way around, you would have done the same thing. You would have kept the secret.”
He’s right, but it doesn’t make the sting any less painful.
“It’s hard to wrap my mind around everything.”
He pulls me on top of him until we lay eye to eye.
“Haven’t you had enough?” I tease, wanting more but knowing I can’t possibly do it. I’m exhausted.
“I will never get enough of you.”
I lean in to kiss him, but his cell rings, interrupting us. Normally, he would ignore it, but with everything that has been happening, he needs to answer it.
“You should answer.”
He grabs his cell from the nightstand with me still on top of him.
“It’s Angus.”
He gazes at me to double-check I’m still okay with him taking the call.
“Answer.”
With a smile I don’t think I’ve seen before, he slides his finger across the screen of his phone before pressing it to his ear. He listens to Angus for a few seconds before speaking. “Let her in. We will be down in ten minutes. Don’t leave her alone.
He doesn’t give Angus a chance to reply.
“Who is it?” I ask curiously.
“Your mother.” His tone is cold.
I climb off him.
“You don’t have to see her,” he adds, grabbing my arm.
“I have to face her eventually. She has a lot to account for.” I’m not sure if I’m trying to convince him or myself.
I slip out of bed and make my way to the bathroom. As I enter, I can’t help but ask,whynow? What does she want from me? Even though I’d rather take a shower alone to think, Viktor joins me. I consider objecting, but I need him and his strength.
