The embarrassment fades, but then I see that look again. The same one she gave me the moment I used the code word.Desire.
Fuck, send up a silent prayer that I can figure this all out, and soon.
Taking her hand, sending tendrils of pleasure through me, I lead her up the stairs to my bedroom. Everything is securely locked, so she can’t get out or find the code to the guns, but I’ve decided she won’t stay in the dungeon after all. My bedroom is her new home. She’ll get used to it, and so will I. My cock jerks in my slacks, beating against the tight boxers and stretching the fabric.
“Wow, this room is beautiful and bigger than my entire cottage.” She looks around and notices the masculine things while I take the time to adjust my pants.
“Oh my goodness. Is this a television?” She spins on her weathered heels to look back and forth between me and the TV. I don’t think I’ve ever been jealous of an inanimate object until this girl.
“Yes.” My voice is horse for some reason, so I clear it and repeat myself. “Yes.”
“I’ve never seen a television before.” She slaps her hand on her mouth.
“What?”
Her face scrunches up before she asks, “Maybe if it’s not too much trouble, I could watch it while I’m here.” The light in her eyes makes her entire face brighten up, and it’s beautiful.
I can’t believe she’s never seen one before. If she keeps looking at me like that, she can have one in every damn room in the compound. “I’ll get it set up for you, but I’m not sure you’ll find much to watch. What do you do for fun?”
“I read books from authors like Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and Aesop’s fairytales.” Nodding, I search for a movie while my brain tries to process what she just revealed. Are you fucking kidding me? What did he expect her to do? I turn on the television and select Pride and Prejudice in Russian.
“Your dinner will be brought up shortly.” I don’t think I’m strong enough to bring it up myself without kissing the fuck out of her.
“Thank you again. I don’t know your name.”
“Roman.” Her brows knit, and then she adjusts them as if she’s heard my name before. I remember Vlad mentioning it to Olga on the phone. Shit, have I ruined the plan?
“Thank you, Roman.” She slips off her worn shoes and sits on the edge of the bed, looking like a goddamn pauper on my nice sheets. Vlad’s got a lot of explaining to do before I kill him.
I head downstairs and warn the men to stay away from my room. Alek is the first to look at me with a grin splitting his face. “Karma, my friend.”
“Shut up. My plans haven’t changed. Vlad will pay, and she will be a part of it.”
“You’d hurt that adorable little kitten?” His tone doubted that I could kill her. It’s true, though. One look and harming a hair on her head had become impossible.
“No, but I will do something else. He took my family, so I’ll take his…. and make it mine.” The thought of breeding her had been on my brain the second I caught her twirling in the kitchen.
“Whoa. What?”
“She will be carrying the next line of Semyonov sons.”
“Good luck, my friend.” He claps my shoulder and shakes his head.
“You doubt my ability to breed her.”
“No, that’s not something I doubt, but when your revenge is over and your bride is crushed, will she come to you willingly?”Fucking asshole.His wisdom is starting to work my nerves.
“No one asked your damn opinion, and you know nothing will stop me from killing Vlad.”
“That I’m sure of. Steal her heart as well as her body, and then tell her to get in the kitchen and make that damn soup. It smelled so good.” I whack him in the back of the head.
“Find your own bride.”
“Maybe I will. How old is your cook?”
“Idiot.” We head into the kitchen, and I tell my cook to prepare a meal for two. “I have questions for her.” She set up two trays while I turned to my soldiers, who did their job effortlessly and effectively.
“Men, I have decided my revenge on Vladimir Volchek will not be to kill his daughter. She’s less valuable to him, but I will make her mine and destroy him that way. He was planning to sell her off. The same rules apply. You are only to speak to her if necessary, and you are most definitely not allowed to touch her in any way. If I catch your hands or eyes lingering on her, you will lose them. Understood?”
