Chapter 32
It had been three months since Katya’s father had put them through that nightmare.
They suspected Dmitri had returned to Vegas, but the Anastasi’s were taking care of finding him and told them not to stress.
Katya had grown close to Cristian by throwing herself into helping him find the women Dmitri had sold over the years.
They had made it their mission to save as many women as they could.
Matias watched as they laughed about something Cristian was staring at on his laptop.
As juvenile as it was, Matias felt a slight pang of hurt when he watched them together.
She was always so relaxed around his brothers, allowing them to touch her and invade her space.
Matias knew she withdrew from him because she worried, he looked at her differently since the abuse she endured—but he didn’t.
“What’s so funny?”
“Matias.” Katya jumped up from her perch on Cristian’s desk and hurried toward him. He was caught off guard when she launched herself into his arms, nearly knocking him to the floor.
“Katya. What’s gotten into you?”
“I just missed you. Is this not ok?”
“You can do this anytime you want. I’ve missed this.”
Katya buried her face in the crook of his neck and whispered against his skin. “I think I’m ready.”
“Ready for what?” Matias tilted his head, glancing down at her.
“Ready for… you know.”
Matias looked over to his brother, who was grinning. “I think you two need a room.”
Realization hit him like a ton of bricks. “We will be upstairs. Don’t bother us unless the house catches on fire.”
Katya giggled against him as he practically ran from the room carrying her. They could still hear the deep timbre of Cristian’s laugh as Matias slammed the bedroom door shut.
He set her down on the bed and stepped back. “Katya, are you sure? What’s changed?”
“The counselor said I have to try sometime. If I don’t, I may never feel whole again.”
She’d been going to a counselor once a week since they returned to Chile. He attended a few of the sessions with her, at her request, but mostly she went alone. Between the sessions with the counselor and the work she was doing with Cristian, Matias had started to see the old Katya returning.
“If you need to stop, tell me. I don’t want to push you. You’re in control.”
She nodded at him.
“No, Katya. I need to hear your words.”
She held his gaze as she spoke, simultaneously stripping her shirt off. “I understand.”
Matias barely held himself together after seeing her in the sheer lace bra she wore. Her skin was finally back to its milky white tone, free of bruises or reminders of the past. Her blonde hair fell loosely down her back as she leaned onto her elbows.
“You can touch me. I promise I won’t break.”
Matias pressed his knee between her thighs and ran his hands down her arms. He leaned in and captured her lips in his. Every nerve in his system was firing on overload with the excitement of having her mouth against his. Katya wrapped her arms around him, pulling him against her.
“You have too many clothes on, Matias. I need to feel you.”
Matias pulled free and stripped off his shirt. He kicked off his shoes and removed his jeans. Katya whimpered as she took in his arousal hidden beneath his boxer briefs. Running his hand over himself, Matias grinned.
“Are you sure you want this? We can start slower, Katya.”
Her response was to remove her remaining articles of clothing, including her bra and panties. Completely bare to him, she spread her legs and closed her eyes.
“I don’t want slow. I want to remember what it’s like to feel alive. I want to remember what pleasure feels like. I’ve been hiding because I was afraid.”
“Afraid of what?”
“Afraid you didn’t really want me after what was done to me. Afraid I wouldn’t be able to please you. But most of all.” She took a deep breath, “Afraid I would always be broken.”
“Katya.” Matias pulled her to her feet and cradled her against his body. “You are not broken. Do you know what I see when I look at you?”
“No,” she whispered against his skin.
“A woman who went through hell and made it out. A woman who didn’t give up when others would and the most important thing I see when I look at you is a woman who is letting me love her.”
Their lips crashed together in a frenzy need as they fell onto the bed. Katya ran her hands down his sides, shoving at the fabric of his boxers. Matias grunted, shifting his weight to give her the room to push them down.
“Slow down, baby.”
He kissed along her jaw, nibbling at the tender flesh below her ear.
Katya gasped as she arched into him. Her legs wrapped around his back, giving him complete access to her.
As if they were always meant to be one, Matias eased his aching members between her folds.
Katya cried out, causing Matias to still above her.
“Did I hurt you?”
“No… please, I need you to move.”
Matias eased out and slowly pushed back in. Her body swallowing his cock into its depths. The heat of her womb surrounded his shaft, nearly causing him to explode before they had even begun.
“Fuck, you’re tight.” Katya wiggled beneath him, urging him to pick up the pace. “I don’t think I can last. It’s been too long. Can you come for me, Katya?”
“I don’t know. I…” She turned her head, tears threatening to spill.
“Look at me, Princesa.” Katya made eye contact as she held her emotions at bay.
She wanted to let go, but she was scared.
“You’re here with me, wrapped around my cock.
Your body was made for me and nobody can change that.
” He flexed his hips, drilling into her with each thrust. He eased his hand between them, his finger finding her sweet spot.
Matias pressed his thumb to the tiny bundle of nerves as he pumped his cock. “Let go for me. Let go for you.”
Katya felt the familiar tingling start in her belly.
She rocked against his hand as his dick pushed her closer to the edge.
Matias pinched her clit between his fingers, sending an electric current straight to her core.
She screamed out, writhing beneath him as her pussy clamped down on him.
His cock swelled, bursting with the most explosive orgasm he ever felt as she pulsed around him.
Her release finally claiming them both as they came together.
“Fuck,” he grunted as the last spurt of come dripped into her. “Are you alright?” Matias pulled out of her and rolled onto the bed beside her. He pulled her into his arms and held her against his chest as she let go and cried. “Katya, did I hurt you?” he asked again.
“No.” she sobbed against him.
“Why are you crying?”
“Because I’m not broken. I can move on with my life, Matias. We can move on with our life.”
He pressed a kiss to her head. “I love you, Katya. I would have waited for as long as it took to have you like this.”
“Do you want me again? I mean…” she closed her eyes in embarrassment. “Was I ok?” Matias’s dick twitched against her leg, causing her to giggle. “I guess that’s a yes?”
Matias smiled against her hair as he answered. “Yes. I want you every hour of every day. I love you, Katya.”
“I love you, too, Matias.”
“Katya?” Matias trailed his fingers alone her arm. “I want to marry you when you’re ready.”
“Are you proposing?”
“Would you say yes?”
“If you were asking… yes.”
“Ok.”
“Ok?” Katya lifted her head and glared at him. “That’s it?”
Matias laugh as he flipped her to her back and pinned her to the mattress.
“Katya. I love you more than myself. I would walk through fire to make you safe. There is nothing that would change the way I feel about you, and I can’t imagine a life without you.
Would you make me the happiest man in the world and become my wife? ”
Katya nodded her head as tears of happiness rolled down her cheeks. “Yes. I love you. I’ll be your wife.”
Matias caught her lips with his as he sealed their bodies together. Their world had been nearly torn apart, but their love was stronger than that. Their love was eternal and unwavering. A love that would endure everything thrown their way.
