Chapter 15 - Iosif
Her lips were soft as silk. I wouldn’t mind being stuck to them forever. I knew she wanted me, craved me. Oh man, I needed her desperately. But she had just gone through a terrible ordeal, and I wondered if she was thinking clearly.
Pulling back lightly from our kiss, I whispered. “Are you sure? I don’t want you to do this as a thank you or a distraction. Do you truly want me, Clara?”
She bit her bottom lip as she moved closer. Her breath tingled the hair on my neck as she spoke into my ear. “Baby, I want to forget. But I also want you so badly. Please take me now.”
I closed my eyes as the sweet sound of her voice soothed my soul like music. Her words were the gasoline to my fire. Setting the sexual tension in the room ablaze. I have been fighting my craving for so long that my body was practically in overdrive.
Taking a deep, slow breath, I opened my eyes and turned her to her back. Shifting her legs apart, I got onto my knees between them. Leaning down, I rekindled the kiss we started earlier. I worked my way down her neck, kissing her softly.
When I reached her shoulder, I licked her neck back up and placed a tender kiss behind her ear. She was enjoying it as she smiled and pushed her head back into the pillows. Her hands glided up and down my arms.
Sitting up, I carefully pulled her shirt up over her head. I undid her pants and rose to pull them from her body. Clara lay there before me, stretched out in her underwear. I picked up one leg and kissed it tenderly from her foot up to her thigh.
I did the same with the other leg before dragging my fingers over her panties. She moaned, lifting her hips as I gripped the panties and pulled them down. Licking my finger, I drew a soft line over her blossoming flower.
Bending back down, I lowered my head and licked the inside of her thigh. Clara opened her legs wider as I made my way up. I slid my finger into her. Clara let out a loud moan as he lifted her hips again.
Sitting up, I removed my shirt before lowering myself onto her.
After unclasping her bra, I kissed her breasts, playing with the nipples.
I licked them, then sucked them into my mouth.
I dragged my tongue down her belly, kissing each hip.
As I started laying kisses on her blossom, she groaned and shifted under me.
Grabbing her legs, I lifted them and pushed them up towards her chest. Licking my lips, I smiled as her flower opened up. Glancing at her, I made sure to lock eyes as I slowly bent down. Her eyes fluttered. She smiled back at me, licking her lips.
I started slowly, licking her blossoming flower. Then I pushed my tongue into her. Clara breathed out heavily. I lightly pulled one lip, then the other, before nibbling her peak. I felt her shiver. As I continued, her flower started pumping, and I could taste her juices.
She moaned and shook her head. Glancing up, I knew that if I didn’t move on quickly, Clara was about to jump me. I gripped the back of her knees, and, in one smooth motion, I flipped her over.
With her face down on her stomach, I gripped her hips and pulled her gently towards me.
With her ass lifted and her legs apart, I had better access.
Bending down, I licked her flower quickly a couple more times as I undid my pants.
Taking my hose in my hand, I rubbed it against her softly before entering the garden.
She was warm, wet, and tight. Lifting my head, I growled up at the ceiling. Simply being inside her was gratifying. Clara moaned louder as I moved in and out. I slapped her ass lightly with every penetration. With every slap, I moved faster and harder.
Clara lifted her head. “Yes, baby,” she breathed out loudly.
Taking hold of her hips, I started pumping her. I could hear her breathing getting harder and more jagged with each motion. Slowing a tad, I moved one hand up her back. Reaching the back of her head, I gripped her hair gently and pulled her head back.
She gasped but didn’t complain. I pulled all the way out of her and then slammed back into her with force. “Oh, fuck,” Clara moaned. I did this a couple of times before returning to a slow, steady pace.
Lust drove me, but I fought my animal instincts. I wanted to rip her apart, fuck her brains out. But I knew I had to be gentle. She was a porcelain doll and had to be treated as such. Letting go of her hair, I gripped both her hips.
“Printessa, I want you,” I groaned as I started moving faster. I felt her flower tightening. Her body was shaking, and I knew she was close to releasing. So was I.
Clara lowered her head and arched her back. “Make me come, baby,” she huffed between breaths.
This was all I needed. I drove into her hard as I moaned, feeling total release. We came together. Pulling out, I flopped down next to her. Clara breathed in and out rapidly as she rolled onto her back.
She smiled and kissed my hand. I could see she was overly tired. I pulled the covers up and cuddled with her. We both fell asleep quickly.
Clara was still lying in my arms when I woke up. I gently lifted her head and got up. I kissed her forehead before going to the bathroom. Once I was done, I returned to the room. Clara was awake, smiling at me.
“Good morning, sunshine,” I said, coming out of the bathroom. “We need to head home.”
Clara nodded at me and then slid out of bed. She went to the bathroom and came out, ready to leave.
Pulling up to the mansion, I saw Avgust's car in the driveway. I knew they were going to have mouthfuls to say. I would manage the situation before it exploded. Getting out, I moved around and opened Clara’s door.
“You’ve got company?” She asked.
“Looks like it, but don’t worry,” I replied, leading her to the door.
Entering the mansion, I saw them standing there waiting for us. I briskly walked up to them and spoke in a low tone. “Before anyone explodes, just listen to what I have to say.”
They nodded and stepped back. I was surprised none of them tried to interrupt me.
Printessa,” I said calmly as I turned to Clara. “You head upstairs, I’ll be there shortly.”
For a moment, she just stood there looking at me. “Go on,” I said, nodding at her. She turned and went up the stairs. I made sure she was out of sight before replying.
“This wasn’t planned,” I said. “I was keeping an eye on the situation with Kolya when I saw she was about to get kidnapped.” I felt sure a white lie wouldn’t hurt them.
“I only took her to keep her safe. I don’t know why they wanted her, but until we know what’s going on, I’ll keep her safe,” I added.
Avgust sighed. He nodded and spoke over his shoulder as he walked away. “Well, we are leaving, please don’t mess this up!”
“I have everything under control,” I huffed.
Most of the day, Clara spent time in the room.
She came down for lunch and supper. The rest of the time, she was on her laptop or her phone.
After saving her from the real kidnappers, I felt sure she wouldn’t reach out to her family. She knew she was safe with me.
“Clara, did you want something for dessert, or maybe want to go out?” I asked.
“No, thanks, I’m fine,” she replied.
Smiling, I started towards the office. Then, I turned and spoke before leaving the room. “Okay, I’ll be in my office if you need me.”
“No problem,” she added as I left.
I caught up on most of my work before I realized the time. Heading back to the room, I found Clara sleeping.
She looked so peaceful as I climbed back into bed. I moved slowly, not wanting to disturb her. Turning to my side, I closed my eyes, a wide grin on my lips. Sleep came quickly like a soothing friend in the night.
As I opened my eyes, I found her still asleep next to me. I couldn’t stop looking at her. She was so amazing. I watched her breathing for a moment, entranced. Clara stirred. Her eyes flickered then opened.
“Good morning, Printessa,” I said, lightly stroking the side of her arm. “How are you feeling? Did you sleep well?”
Clara smiled as she spoke. “Yes, thank you, and you?”
“I did. Let's go home, don’t you think?” I asked as I climbed out of bed.
“I suppose,” she mumbled behind me.
I used the bathroom first, and once I was done, it was Clara’s turn. “Ready?” I asked as she came out. She nodded, and I led her back to my car. She looked calm, and it was nice seeing her this way.
Clara stared out the window as we headed home. I wondered what was going through her mind, but didn’t ask. I didn’t want to disturb her. I preferred watching her beautiful elegance.
Pulling up to the mansion, I spotted Avgust’s car. They were waiting for us to return. This wasn’t an issue for me as I knew what had to be done. Stopping in my usual place, I assisted Clara out and headed for the front door.
Before I could even touch the handle, the door swung open. There stood Avgust as large as life. “Hi, you’re here early,” I said, pushing past him with Clara on my arm.
“Yes, we have to talk, brother,” he huffed. “Things aren’t as they should be. We know something is going on!”
I saw my other brother also waiting for me. Timofey was the only one not present. Lukyan stood with his arms folded across his chest. It appeared he was angry for some reason.
Glancing back at Avgust, I spoke with authority, stating my claim. “I’ll be with the two of you in a moment.”
I took Clara back upstairs to her room. As she entered, she turned to me. Her smile lit up the entire place as she spoke. “Thank you, Iosif. Thank you for keeping me safe.”
Taking her hand, I lightly kissed her fingers. “As I have said from the start, all I want to do is keep you safe,” I whispered before turning and heading out.
My brothers were still waiting in the foyer as I came down. “Ready,” I said, looking at Avgust. “You know you could have gone and sat down so long.” I walked past them to the kitchen. “Want something to drink?” I asked over my shoulder.
“No, we want to know what’s going on. How can we assist in protecting the family if we are left in the dark?” He spat back.
Grabbing a cola, I turned and glared at them. “I do not appreciate your tone. But I realize you need to know,” I replied. “Let’s take this to my office.”
I moved back past them and walked straight to my office. I waited for them to enter before closing the door. “Have a seat,” I said, waving to the chairs before my desk. “Please sit down. Then we can talk.”
Moving to my chair, I sat down and waited for them to settle. “Look,” I said, grinning at them. “I have a plan. As I explained to you, we need to make Kolya pay for what he did. I started following her around while working on a plan. But while I followed her, I noticed she was being followed.”
Sitting back in my chair, I inhaled deeply. “This is when I decided the best thing to do was to kidnap her so she wouldn’t get taken by someone else. It was my only option. Things changed, and I couldn’t wait. But it still worked, don’t you agree?”
“No!” Avgust huffed, sitting forward. I could hear the anger in his tone. “This only complicates things. We think you should return her to the Aslanovs. Let’s wash our hands of this. It’s not going to work out, brother, I have a bad feeling about it.”
“I have to agree with Avgust,” Lukyan chipped in. He didn’t sound as angry as Avgust, but I knew he would take my side if it came down to it.
“Well, I can’t agree with you,” I replied. “I need to protect her. Ensure her safety for now until I’ve decided what to do.”
“And what is your big plan?” Avgust inquired.
I kept my tone calm as I responded. “I am going to keep her here, keep her safe. Let Kolya look for her, let him worry and stress. He needs to learn a lesson about family.”
The two exchanged looks, and Lukyan shrugged. Avgust shook his head before speaking again. “Fine, let’s see where it goes. We’ll then keep an eye out, keep our ears to the ground, and keep you updated. The Vaselievs are monitoring the situation.”
“Well, there you go, thank you,” I said, getting up. “If there’s nothing else, we can get back to business.”
Avgust mumbled under his breath as they rose and headed out. I was following my plan, I reassured myself. I was sure of it; this was the plan, and it would work. Kolya will feel the pain I have endured.
I trampled around my office for a bit, convincing myself I was doing the right thing. Avgust had no reason to be concerned. At lunchtime, I knocked on her door. “Clara?” I called through it. “You want to have lunch with me?”
The door opened, and she smiled. “That would be nice,” she replied, taking the hand I held out. We had lunch in the breakfast sunroom. The light was magnificent, and the meal was nice and light. The atmosphere was tranquil and comforting.
She appeared much calmer, which I preferred. I could admire her without having to speak. After lunch, I headed back to my office. I had some emails and calls to get through.
I had barely sat down when my phone rang. It was Avgust, I hoped he was calling with an update.
“Hi, brother,” I asked impatiently. “What news do you have?”
“Yes, we’ve been diving into every contact. They have been spotted. The group who tried taking Clara,” he replied.
“Excellent!” I said excitedly. “We will then take action and get them out of the way.”
“No,” Avgust replied, sounding anxious. “Slow down. You’re in too much of a rush. The Aslanovs are also very actively still searching for her.”
“This isn’t good,” I huffed. “But, okay. I’ll get back to you. Thanks, brother.”
“No problem,” Avgust commented before hanging up.
Getting up, I paced the length of my office for a bit. “That’s it. I got it!” I exclaimed, talking to the furniture. “I will take her out of the city. A place where I know she’ll be safe with me. Somewhere special!”
