“We don’t. We have to make this offer. I wanted to give you a heads up before I do. It he agrees, then you’re going to marry Natasha Sokolov to keep the peace.”
“Even thoughyou’rethe reason we’re in a war to begin with?”
“I killed Alexei out of self-preservation. Not because I chose to. So I am sorry, Maksim, that saving mine and my wife’s life has put you out. But if Lev agrees, this will happen.”
“Then get him to agree first and then we can talk. Otherwise, I’m not listening to this.” He storms out of my office.
Gregor sighs. “My son was always impetuous. Impulsive and immature.”
“This is a good idea, is it not?”
“It is. But it’s going to be hard to get Maksim to agree.”
“It’s the only play I have to keep the peace.”
“Then reach out to Lev and see if you can make this happen. I’ll support you. I don’t want a war either.”
Contacting Lev is going to take some time, so for today, the only thing I can do is return home. Return to Irina.
She rushes to my side the moment I step through the doors. “Are you ok?”
“Why wouldn’t I be?”
“Just… with everything.”
I smile as I pull her into my arms. “I’m glad you care that much about me. That you’re worried for me. But don’t worry, Irina. I know that’s hard for you. But I got this. I have a plan.” I just hope it all pans out.
“Good. Because I want to be with you. Just happy with you. I don’t want you dead now that I’ve fallen in love with you.”
I pick her up around the waist, making her squeal. “You love me, huh?”
Her smile is gentle and kind. Fuck I am truly whipped for this woman and I don’t care one bit. “I really do. I have to ask though. Will everything truly be all right?”
“I know I’ve made promises to you in the past that I’ve had to break. So I won’t make another promise. I can’t guarantee that everything will be all right. But what I can promise is that I’ll try. And like I said, I have a game plan. If it goes well, then you’ll be safe.”
“And if it doesn’t go well?”
“Then we’ll deal with that if we have to. But we can make it through. I know it. Now, enough talk about that. I just want to spend time with my wife.”
“How?”
“Like this.” I kiss her deeply. Irina sinks completely into my arms. No hesitation. She truly trusts me now and I’ll do everything in my power not to break it.
I carry Irina to our bedroom. It’s becoming a common occurrence for us. We can’t seem to keep our hands off each other.
We quickly strip our clothes off and I lay Irina down on the bed. “I need to taste you,” I growl, pulling her hips right to the edge. She gasps. When I part her legs, I can see her wetness on her inner thighs, ready for me.
I don’t waste a moment longer. The moment I place my face between her legs and lick her nub, Irina moans my name. It’s the best fucking sound I’ve ever heard.
She raises her hips up to meet my face. I hold her thighs tightly and lick her with all my might. I need her to come on my tongue. I need her to lose herself with me. I need to get lost in her body forever because I don’t know what the future holds but what I do know is that I’m happy here, with the woman I love. She’s accepted me despite all the darkness I have within myself. Despite how we first met. She makes me believe I’m worthy of something good in my life.
I groan against her pussy. I’ll never get tired of tasting her. Irina can’t stop herself from bucking her hips against my face. I love how much she lets herself go when she’s with me.
I lick her nub over and over and over until she cries out, shuddering her release. God, she’s a thing of beauty.
I stand up and bring my cock to her entrance. She’s fully spread out on the bed, looking like a goddess. My goddess. My wife.
My eyes lock with her eyes right as I grab her legs and thrust into her. We both moan together.
