I was going to scream. I couldn’t stop it, couldn’t hold it back. It was building in my throat as ecstasy built in my body. I tried to bring my hands up to muffle it, but they were clutching at Gregor’s shoulders as I moved against him wildly. I tried to warn Gregor, but all that came out were sobs of pleasure. And I couldn’t stop.
Just as my climax hit like a train, Gregor lunged up suddenly and kissed me fiercely. My back arched and I writhed against him wildly, and a heartbeat later, my world shattered into bliss. Between the waves of ecstasy, I heard Gregor’s orgasmic groans, and felt his cock jump and shudder inside me.
We collapsed onto his bed together, breathless, feeling the aftershocks rock through us as I lay trembling on his chest. I had a million things I wanted to say to him right then, but I didn’t even have the strength to move. Maybe dessert would have to wait until later. I drifted off before I could speak.
Chapter 14
Gregor
Iwoke later in the morning to discover the streets clogged with snow and the city practically shut down. The storm had grown more powerful as we had napped, and now there was at least two feet on the ground. As I toweled off and dressed after my shower, I looked out the window and saw deep ruts in the snow on the street. The plows hadn’t come around yet.
We were stuck. We couldn’t get out, and no one could get in at us either. Of course, that also meant my trip out to the Ivanovs’ place would have to wait. But that business was best done at night anyway. Right now, all I wanted was to stay in with Alissa and our little girl anyway.
Contentmentwas a strange variety of happiness, one I had never felt before. Maybe a little bit after sex or a good meal, but right now, I felt far more than that. Having them here, staying with them, made me feel like all was right with the world.
I checked on Alissa and Michelle before going out to have more coffee and check my phone. Both of them were so asleep that I probably would have had to shake them awake. I didn’t. They both needed lots of rest after all that they had been through.
I could really get used to this,I thought as I sipped my coffee.
But despite that, I was worried. I knew the longer I tried to make something permanent with Alissa, the more likely she was to learn about my occupation.
And once that happened, I had no idea if she would stay. I prayed she would since I knew I was already attached. It was too late to pull away, even if I could have mustered the will to. It had gone too far. Now, the parting would wound us all.
But this was worth the risk. They were worth it. And if I could stare down a gun barrel on a regular basis, I could deal with the prospect of that pain, and tell the whole truth.
Later. Right now, I just wanted to savor what I had before it might be gone.
I was halfway through my coffee when I heard tiny footsteps hesitating into the room. I looked over my shoulder and saw Michelle, mostly dressed but awkwardly carrying her purple sneakers, making her way toward me. She yawned widely as she approached.
“Need some help with your shoes, kiddo?” I asked, setting my coffee aside and crouching in front of her.
She nodded at me solemnly, and I helped her into her shoes. I tied each one slowly, showing her each step. “It takes time and practice, especially making the bow. Do you understand?” She nodded, and I straightened and helped her back up. “Good. We’ll practice more later, I promise. Are you hungry?”
She nodded.
“Want more pancakes?”
Her face brightened and she nodded harder, smiling a little.
By the time I had the pancake batter together, Michelle was at the table nursing a glass of apple juice, and I heard my shower running. By the time I was halfway through piling uppancakes on the serving plate, a dressed, primped, but sleepy-looking Alissa shuffled out to join us. Her yawn was as wide as our daughter’s.
“Good morning,” she murmured, giving each of us a kiss on the cheek before sitting beside her daughter. She peered at the big, thin pancakes curiously. “Crepes?”
“Russian pancakes. They get rolled around fillings too, though. How did you sleep?” I flipped another pancake, revealing its pale golden-brown underside.
“Good.” She hesitated a moment, but then smiled. “We should talk later.”
“Later” was code for “when we’re not in front of Michelle.” I nodded. “Of course.”
I knew instantly what it was about. But I kept my cool through making and eating breakfast, keeping my smile on for Michelle, knowing the last thing she needed was to have her traumas discussed in front of her.
Once she was enthralled by cartoons and a fresh tub of Legos, Alissa and I retreated to my study. It was just a converted second guest room, nothing cool like Vasily’s, but it had a nice leather couch. “What is it?” I asked her gently.
“Last night…” she started, and I blinked, caught by surprise. “I hope I didn’t shock you.”
I let out a soft laugh and reached out to cup her elfin little chin gently. “No. Relieved, really. It saved me from making the first move now that I’ve kept my promise to bring Michelle back to you.”
She looked relieved, but it only lasted a few moments. “But…” Her gaze slid away from mine awkwardly, then shyly drifted back. “You said you weren’t looking for anything long term.”
