ログインAlexei POV Ethan glancesup at me with a curious expression and eyes so much like my own it hurts to breathe, so this is really my son.“Who is this, Mommy?” Ethan asks.“He’s a friend.” Talia offers him a watery smile as she watches our exchange take place. “His name is Alexei.”“Alexei,” Ethan repeats.I kneel before him and resist the natural instinct to pull him into my arms because he doesn’t know me and that was a fact still difficult for me to swallow. We just need some time.“Hey, buddy.” I offer him a pained smile. “How was your day?”“Good.” He shrugs before looking at Talia.“Mommy, can we get pizza?”Her expression tightens when she looks at me.“I like pizza,” I tell him. “What’s your favorite?”“Pepperoni,” he chants triumphantly.“He likes the Village Pizza shop,” Talia explains.“It’s his favorite.”“Village Pizza it is then.” I wink at Ethan. “How about a lift?”He flashes a dimple at me and nods enthusiastically before I throw him up onto my shoulders.Talia looks li
Alexei POV Talia clears her throat and crosses her arms as I rifle through her closet and find another jacket. She seems confused by the gesture until I remind her that she left her other one at school.The nerves return to her face, and when she reaches for the jacket, I don’t let it go just yet.“I’m sure I don’t have to tell you this, Talia because you’re a smart woman but if you think about making a scene at the school, or anywhere else, you may want to consider how far blacktop influence stretches.”“What does that mean, are you now threatening me?” she asks.“That list of names on the drive?” I return her gaze.“That was just one of many they belong to cops, politicians, government employees and they can all be bought, or they can disappear. The moral of my short speech is that without me, there isn’t a place on this earth you’ll be safe. It’s something to think about and just so you know one of them found you before I did and I had to go take care of it which is like getting i
Alexei POV “And now I’m going to finish it.” I drag the fat head of my cock against her slickness, and her nails curl into my biceps.Thrusting my hips forward, I bury myself inside her until she can’t take any more of my length.“Fuuuuck.” I groan into her neck as I roll my hips and slam into her again. She is so goddamn tight and it’s been five long years, and I’m not going to last.“Now you can come.” I fist a handful of her hair and force her to look up at me. “But only if you come around my cock.”She whimpers as I fuck her into the floor. Her nails claw at my back and my eyes roll back in my head. I can’t fucking concentrate because I just need to fuck her.When Talia finally lets herself go, an agonized groan escapes between her lips but I swallow it whole, and then drink from her until she’s breathless and her lips are swollen from my kiss then she fucking bites me, tearing at my lip until I taste my own blood.When I rear back, she adds insult to injury by slapping me as har
Alexei POV “What are you doing?” Talia whispers as I assault her throat with my lips.“I’m taking back what’s mine,” I murmur against her. “Get used to it.”“You hurt me.” She sniffs.“Did I?” I mock her. “What did you expect would happen when you pulled that trigger, Talia? Were you prepared to watch my blood splatter across your bedroom floor?”“I didn’t want to do it.” She squeezes her eyes shut and shakes her head. “You forced my hand.”“And now you’ve forced mine,” I responded.“You repeatedly told me you were bad for me,” she reminds me. “You warned me awayand now you’re here holding me hostage like this is exactly what you wanted all along.”“This is the last thing I wanted for you,” I tell her.“And I meant everything I said before but that doesn’t mean I didn’t want it. You were supposed to forget me and have a normal life and maybe I would have actually let you, who the fuck knows. Regardless of that, we have a kid now. Whatever intentions I may have had in the past are irr
Aria POV Viktor was gone for a long time and my resolve to stay in the bedroom was slipping away with every passing second when he finally stepped back in, a deep furrow of displeasure between his brows and much of his hair fallen out of his short ponytail as if he’d ran his hand through it one time too often.I asked immediately, “What’s going on? What did Ivan say? And what does he need the nightgown for?”Viktor closed the door. “Alexei wants to keep her here for now, he thinks she’s safer in the mansion.”“Safer? She’s a captive. Who says she’s safe so close to this family?”Viktor didn’t say anything but I could tell that he wasn’t happy about this development, but he was loyal to his brother, nothing would ever change it. I doubted Alexei could do anything that would make Viktor ever go against him.“You have to stop him, if he makes anyone to force themselves on her. Promise me,” I said fiercely.“Alexei can’t be stopped if he’s made up his mind, not even by me but as I said,
Aria POV "Go up to our bedroom,” Viktor said, startling me as I lay curled up on the sofa in the game room a week after our conversation.“What’s the matter?” I asked because his expression was tight, as close to anger as I’d ever seen it. I set down my book and stood, putting my hands up against his chest. “Is it about Alexei?”Alexei had been gone for almost a month and Viktor still hadn’t revealed the details of their mission, only that it had something to do with the a girl.His eyes held a hint of weariness. “I’ll explain later. Now I need you to go to our room, Aria.”I frowned, feeling like I was being treated like a child. “I’m not weak and I can handle most things.”He touched my cheek and kissed me briefly. “I know but this ...” He shook his head. “I’m not sure if it’s something you should see.”My chest constricted because there was only one thing I definitely had a hard time handling.“Don’t ask,” Viktor said. “Not now.”I nodded reluctantly, grabbed my book and headed i
Viktor POV As always, I woke around five in the morning, on my back, staring at the ceiling.Today I had slept about three hours, which wasn’t much worse than my average night and I turned my head toward the sound of soft breathing beside me, Aria was still curled into herself and her face hidden
Aria POV I flinched every time my uncle’s stifled cries rang out as Alexei and Viktor broke each of his fingers. My eyes weren’t on my uncle, though, but instead on my husband’s face. His expression was unreadable as he watched my uncle like he was conducting some sort of experiment.Soon, they b
Viktor POV Yuri eyes shifted between my brother and me, his breathing picking up and fear started to fill his veins and I knew the signs were obvious but this was only the beginning of his sorrow.I leaned down, my mouth curling. “You will admit to it your transgressions soon and you will apologiz
Viktor POVWhen Alexei first told me about a marriage with the Crown Syndicate, I thought he was pulling my legs as usual but when Nikolai sent me the picture I was surprised, marriage was the last thing on my mind right now and an orphan, I didn't know what to say about that.
