“And if I agree?” I keep my voice steady, but inside my emotions are out of control as every word he speaks is aimed straight at my heart that races as he continues.
“We will travel together. I’m a very busy man, little one. I am rarely in the same place for longer than a week and then I’m onto the next business deal. I have never known any different, and it didn’t matter before now, but I want you to come with me, to share my life and experience things only I can give you outside of the protection of your family.”
“You want me to leave my family? My protection and my future for a wild adventure with you?”
My eyes are wide and disbelieving as I contemplate the storm that would cause in my family. Vieris don’t leave the fold. They remain protected and part of the organization. There is no freedom in our lives, just existing for the sake of the society my grandfather created.
“What you are asking is impossible.” I say, feeling as if my heart is being crushed inside me. “My grandfather would never allow me to leave. Just the fact I was the target of an assassination not so long ago will make him even more overprotective. He will never allow it.”
Alexei’s eyes flash and he grips my hand hard and says roughly, “Then stand up to him, Serena. Remember who you are. You are part of him, and you deserve to fight for your future. If that is what you want?”
Once again, the yearning burns in his eyes and I imagine him walking away from me, getting on his plane and flying away forever. I am in no doubt that will happen. He would accept defeat and his pride prevent him from crossing my path again. It appears that it’s all or nothing with Alexei Romanov and his proposition is so tempting, I can’t think past my deep yearning to say yes. I want to accept. I want to see where this leads for us and he is offering me a freedom I never expected would be mine to grasp with both of my eager hands.
But Alexei doesn’t know my grandfather like I do. My brothers would never agree, either. I am the protected mafia princess and that will probably never change, so I paste a bright smile on my face and hide my desperation and whisper, “I will see what I can do, Alexei. Give me twenty-four hours to convince my family. I will try my best because I have never wanted anything more than I want you.”
The spark of happiness that lights his eyes is the lit fuse blowing my world apart. I already know they will never agree but he doesn’t need to know that now. I am here and for one night only I am going to enjoy my freedom and overdose on Alexei Romanov because it appears that this is all we will have. One night to stoke a lifetime of memories and I must make this count.
CHAPTER36
ALEXEI
Idon’t do emotion, not really. The only time was when my father died. Now I’m feeling a strange one as I lay my heart on the line before the woman who has crept in and stolen it. I’m not kidding. I do want her to leave with me. To be the first thing I see when I open my eyes. To protect her, make her happy and enjoy my fucked-up life with her by my side.
We have known one another for such a short period of time I’m not sure how I feel about her. I know I can’t let her go, which is a first for me, and I’m a man who always gets what he wants. She is a tricky one though, because she doesn’t have the ability to make her own decisions. She is like me in that respect. We are part of an organization that keeps its prisoners tightly locked up with no chance of freedom. I’m prepared to agree to anything to be the one to unlock her cage and let her fly into mine instead.
Twenty-four hours may not be long enough, but I must trust that she will do everything in her power to persuade her family. If she wants it of course. There is still that possibility and so I need to make this evening count.
I tilt her face and pull her lips toward mine, loving the burst of heat inside me as our lips connect and I taste the woman I’m addicted to.
I kiss her gently, but it is loaded with passion because, for the first time in my life, this simple act counts for something incredible.
As the fire flickers in the grate, I unzip her dress slowly and carefully, my fingers brushing against her delicate skin, loving how she shivers under my touch.
We stare at one another in silence, the connection between us strong, more powerful now because there are feelings involved. Her eyes are wide and the soulful expression in them mesmerizes me. Her long black hair glides through my fingers and is luxurious to the touch. I cup her face and she leans into my hand, her eyes flashing with a beauty that brings me under her spell.
I have an insatiable need to own her soul. For her to stare into my eyes and only see me. To be her world and make it a better one. Making her happy will give me a reason to exist.
I ease her down on the couch and say huskily, “Wait just one second.”
As she lies back against the soft cushions, her eyes glitter like dark pools of sin, laden with lust and emotion that I rarely get to experience.
I tear off my clothes with a slow deliberation, our eyes connected as if by a magnetic force.
The power between us is palpable as we appear to be on the same page. Nothing matters but what happens now and as I tower above her and stare deep into her eyes, words are no longer necessary.
She runs her hands against my skin and stares at me deeply, a small smile on her lips as she drags her nails against the ink on my skin. She caresses the tiger that sits above my heart, a fresh scar on a body that lives for the pain. She leans forward and presses her lips to the image, and it sends a surge of longing through my entire body. It’s as if she can control me just from actions alone and for once in my life, I’m happy to allow it.
I stare into her eyes as I run my hand under her ass and lift it closer, positioning myself between her legs, my cock dancing at the entrance to paradise.
She whispers my name and hearing it on her breath is the sweetest sound as I push inside, slowly, savoring every inch of the flesh I pass through, loving how she is gripping my cock with an ownership I’m happy to accept.
Her eyes glitter as I move harder, deeper and with more power, tearing through her body as I remind it who belongs there.
She arches toward me, and her soft gasp makes me swell even further inside her and I grip her face and force her to keep her eyes on me because as I move inside her body, I am making a statement. She is mine and nothing can change the path we are heading along.
I grip her ass hard, pulling her in deeper. My balls dancing against her sodden entrance and her clit dragging against my shaft. It’s almost eerie as the only sounds in the room are made by our bodies, making their own sweet music together, which is the best kind there is.
She trembles under me as I push in and out, increasing the pace and loving her sweet soft moans as her body delights in mine. Her face is flushed and her eyes bright as I explore every inch of her inside. I cup her face with my hand and kiss her lips softly, loving how sweet she tastes as I set up home inside her. It’s as if my cock has no other place it would rather be as it takes its time and doesn’t rush something that has been building for weeks.
