I tighten my grip on her when she trembles in her sleep. I’d pay any ante to keep her right here. I’d pay it over and over until I ran out of money, and then I’d battle to keep her. She might have started out as an ante to a game, but she was mine as soon as she danced into my life.

Epilogue

THREE MONTHS LATER

SPARROW

My eyes flutter open as I feel his tongue spear into me.

“You’re home, my love.” I moan as I reach down and grip his hair, pulling him into me tight. “How was Eastport?

“I came straight to the house as soon as the plane landed. Eastport was good. We left it intact but made a lasting impression.”

“I missed you.” I writhe in desire as he works me up. He devours me as if he’s starved.

Andrei had to go to Eastport to help out there for the last few days. I stayed here at the house with my protection.

“I can’t believe I was able to get into bed without waking you up. You were sleeping like the dead.” He nips my thigh as he rises up over my body and guides his cock to my entrance. I wrap my legs around his hips and meet his thrust. We both moan.

Pulling him down so his weight is on me, I kiss his lips, tasting myself on them. For the last couple of days, I’ve been trying to figure out how to tell him my secret. I can’t keep it to myself for much longer.

“I’ve been extra sleepy lately. My breasts have been hurting too.” I smile at him, but he doesn’t understand. “I’ve needed to take naps during the day.” I lift an eyebrow this time, wondering if he’s going to comprehend or if I’ll have to just tell him.

“You can nap,ptitsa,you deserve it. You’re the queen of the house.”

“I haven’t been feeling very good during the morning.” I give him another blatant hint. He’s been saying he can’t wait to see me pregnant, so I figured he’d get it this time.

“I’ll take you to the doctor in the morning. Maybe you have the flu?”

“No, Andrei, I’m pregnant.” I finally give up and tell him.

“What?” He rears back, and only for a second do I worry about his reaction. He pulls completely out of my body, causing me to protest until his face is hovering over my belly. He kisses it before he nuzzles his beard against it. “Little man, Papa is going to need you to be strong because your momma is a beauty and any sisters you have, I’ll need your help with.” He comes back up over me and kisses me deeply. “When did you find out?”

“I took a test the morning you left then had Adrik and Arkady take me to the doctor that afternoon.” I’m so glad Andrei allowed them to still be my guards. It took some time for them to prove themselves to him. But after they each faced off with Mikhail and Dmitri, he said they could be my guards again.

Andrei slides back inside me and looks down at me with a big smile on his face.

“That was so sweet, but what if it’s a girl?”

“Nope, it won’t be. After what my sister has put me through, fate can’t do that to me.”

I lean up and he takes my lips in a deep kiss as he fucks into me in long, slow strokes.

“You know this means we’re getting married as soon as I can get it all arranged. Call your father and sister. I’m not waiting more than a day.”

I love this man and can’t wait to be his wife and have a baby with him. He always says I’m the reason he’s the man he is. But he’s the reason I’m alive, and I’ll always be glad he saw me that day. Glad he fell for me as soon as he laid eyes on me, because I was head over heels the moment he told me to save myself for him.

I’ll always be glad that I was his ante.
