“How did I get so lucky?” she said in a soft voice. “My whole life, I’ve felt trapped. All alone. As terrible as Andrei seems to others, he loves me the best he can. He provided for me.” She smiled, lost in a distant memory. “I know he can be a little extravagant, but it’s how he shows love. When I was a little girl, I asked for a stuffed animal, a horse. He bought me a real pony. He’s not a bad man, Noah. But I also can’t stay with him. I want to be free. I’ve never felt real happiness until I met you. Life in that golden cage is suffocating me. I want to be with you. Like a normal woman. Every night.”

Suddenly she stepped back as if she’d said too much.

“I...” she said, throwing her head into her hands. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to sound weird. It’s barely been a few weeks.”

I grabbed her by her shoulders.“Mila—”

“No,” she looked up at me. “It’s okay, really. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to force anything on you. It’s just—”

“I love you.”

She stared at me in disbelief.

“I know it sounds crazy, but I’ve loved you from the moment you first smiled at me in that parking lot.”

She threw herself into my arms and started kissing me passionately.

“It’s not crazy,” she mumbled against my lips. “I love you, too. I love you so goddamn much.”

My heart started racing. Before I knew what I was doing, I had already dragged her behind a large dumpster in the corner of the alley. Hearing her say those words drove me absolutely nuts. I was rock hard.

“Say it again,” I huffed, out of breath, as I lifted her up onto my hips and pressed her against the cool brick wall. She hastily fumbled open the zipper of my pants and slipped my stiff cock into her wet warmth. Both of us moaned the moment I was inside her. I started thrusting up and down.

“I love you,” she whispered into my ear as I kissed her neck, slightly biting into it. I was on fire. A storm of hot shivers filled my skin with goosebumps. I knew I wouldn’t last long, but she wouldn’t either. Her muscles tightened around my dick. With only a few more thrusts, she was pushed over the edge.

“I love you,” she cried out softly as I pushed into her one last time, filling her up with a huge load of cum.

“Fuck,” I growled, enjoying every last bit of her twitching body on my pulsating cock.

I gently kissed her, smiling from the bottom of my heart. “I don’t think I’ve ever been happier in my life,” I said, kissing her again and again.

We would have stood there for hours, just holding each other, kissing and confessing our love as if the world had stopped spinning, but the metallic sound of a door opening startled us both. I dropped her to her feet and pulled up my pants. An old man dressed in a dirty white kitchen-aid outfit stared at us, then turned on the spot and slammed the door shut behind him.

We exchanged embarrassed looks, then burst into laughter.

“Shall we go back to my place?” I asked, pulling her into my arms again.

“Only if we can get ice cream and a bottle of wine and watch movies all night.”

Movies.

Ice cream.

Wine.

Sex. And all of it with the woman I loved.

God. Never in my life had I felt so freaking happy. But there also was that nagging fear of the moment when she would find out who I really was. When she’d tell me she never wanted to see me again—and I couldn’t blame her. But after tonight, there was no doubt in my mind that removing her brother from her life would be the best thing for her. It was terrible that it had to be done in such a drastic way, but it was what it was, and for tonight, yes tonight alone, I would push the thoughts of this tragedy away. Tonight, we would spend time together as a normal couple. A man and a woman who loved each other and wanted nothing more than to be together.

“If you’re not an ice cream kind of guy, we can always get tacos.” Mila brought me back to the present. “The portions at these fancy restaurants are for little birds.”

I laughed. “Are you kidding me? Not an ice cream kinda guy? If any man ever tells you no to tacos or ice cream, you should run as fast as you can.”

“So that’s a yes?” She smiled.

“Baby girl, if the world was about to explode into a huge ball of fire, and this was my last day on earth, I honestly couldn’t think of a better way to spend it.”
