Chapter 19 - Viktor
When I wake up, I can feel Riley still clinging to me. I yawn and look around the room sleepily. For the first time in my life, I feel content. This is right; this is what I need. Just Riley in my arms, the warmth of her body pressed against mine. I watch her sleep against me, the soft rise and fall of her chest. She's so at peace. I want her to always feel this safe.
I sigh softly and Riley stirs. I stroke her back gently and she looks up at me. I kiss her nose softly. “Good morning, princess.”
“Good morning,” she whispers, resting her head back against my chest.
I kiss the top of her head. “Did you sleep well?”
“Amazing,” she replies. She looks up at me with a small smile. “I feel so safe in your arms.”
“I like that,” I say quietly. “I want you to always feel safe when you're with me.”
“I do,” she leans up and presses her lips against mine.
I return the kiss until she pulls away and strokes my chest lightly. “Thank you.”
“For what? Coming back alive?” I chuckle softly.
“Yes, and thank you for helping me through yesterday. I didn't think I could help Anton. I was… so lost in my own mind. Everything was a jumble, and I was panicking, but you brought me back to my senses, and I could help him.” She looks at me with wide eyes. “You may be reckless, but under all that bravado, there’s a really good person who people underestimate.”
I give her a small smile and stretch. I wince as I feel my tight muscles.
She sits up and places a hand on my chest. “You're hurt?”
“I'm fine,” I reassure her, sitting up slowly. “Just a bit tense.”
“No, you're not. You're hurt,” she says with concern in her voice. “Let me take a look at you.”
“Oh, are we playing nurse and patient now?” I tease with a grin as I rest back against the headboard.
She blushes slightly but smiles broadly. “Maybe we should. Does it hurt here?” She kisses my cheek.
“Lower,” I murmur.
“Here?” she asks, kissing and sucking my neck.
I sigh and tilt my head to the side. “Maybe a little lower.”
She kisses my shoulder. “Here?”
I adjust myself slightly and look over at her. She's looking up at me expectantly. “Lower.”
“Maybe a few places here,” she says, kissing across my chest and then down my abdomen.
“Definitely lower,” I say with a slightly choked voice. I can feel the blood rushing to my cock the lower she goes.
She throws the duvet off of us and kisses along the top of my briefs. “Here, maybe?”
“Hmmm,” I groan. “Maybe a little lower.”
She smiles and hooks her fingers in my briefs. “I'll need to undress you to inspect the damage.”
I lift my hips and she pulls my briefs down and off. She crawls between my legs and I open them up slightly for her, my dick half erect. She takes it in her hand and I watch her with lust-blown eyes. I lick my lips as she kisses at the base of my cock, slightly above it. “Here?”
“Almost,” I gasp out, hardening in her hand.
She starts to plant little kisses along my erection until she reaches the tip. “Maybe here?” she murmurs, kissing the tip. She sticks her tongue out and takes a quick lick before she looks up at me and takes my cock into her mouth. She maintains eye contact as she starts to bob her head up and down, swallowing as much of me as she can.
I groan, my hand going to grab a fistful of her hair. She closes her eyes and takes me deeper. I couldn’t say this is the first time she has done this. She clearly has a natural talent. Her hand slides down the rest of my shaft and starts to fondle my balls. I groan. “That's it, baby girl.”
She hums around my cock and the vibration feels amazing. I need her. I want her. I want to take her right now.
“I need to be inside of you,” I gasp out.
She pulls off of me and strokes my erection a few times before she sits up and starts to undress. I watch her hungrily. She's in charge. I let her do what she wants. I can tell she needs this.
She straddles my lap and guides my erection to the entrance of her pussy. She sinks onto it slowly, groaning out. I reach up and fondle her breasts, massaging them gently. A goofy grin on my face that turns to a look of pure pleasure. I put a hand behind her head and bring her in for a deep kiss. Our tongues slide over each other as she starts to move her hips up and down. I keep a hold of her head, not wanting to break the connection. I can feel her breasts rubbing against my chest and it makes me want to buck my hips.
She's so damn sexy when she's in charge. She puts her hands on my chest and I reluctantly let her go. She sits up and starts to move harder, biting her lip and looking down at me with heavy-lidded eyes.
I put my hands on her hips and move with hers.
“You make me so wet,” she groans out. Her hands leave my chest and she stretches straight and up, her hands pulling her hair loose and then tangling in them so she's on full display for me to see, her breasts bouncing beautifully. I start to pull her down on me, egging her to move faster and harder. She runs her hands down her body and then up again. Putting on a real show for me and it's driving me wild.
“I'm going to cum,” I moan out.
“Cum inside of me,” she moans. I pull her hips down as I ejaculate inside of her. Watching as she slips her hand between us and starts to finger her clit. I lick my lips, my cock twitching inside of her as she starts to groan over and over again, begging me to watch her orgasm.
“Cum for me, Baby,” I murmur, stroking her sides. “Cum on my cock.”
She groans and moves her fingers faster, whimpering loudly until her pussy clenches around my slowly softening cock as she rides her own high.
She lifts her fingers to her lips and sucks on them, looking at me with sultry eyes. I pull her hand away from her face and suck on her fingers next. I can still taste her juices on them. I drop her hand and pull her down for another deep kiss. When we finally break apart, she slides off of me and lies next to me, stroking my stomach.
“That was incredibly sexy,” I whisper, kissing her head.
“I'm glad I made you feel better,” she giggles. “Always happy to kiss you better.”
“I'll have to get hurt more often,” I tease her, and she looks up at me with a grin. “I could stay in bed with you the whole week and never get tired of making love to you.”
She sighs. “Me too.”
We lie there for a moment before there's a hard knock on the door. Riley pulls the covers over herself while I get up. I pull the briefs back on and go to the door. “What?” I ask, opening it.
Roman is standing there with clothes in his hands. “Get dressed. Anton needs to brief us.”
“Right now? I've just woken up.”
“Right now,” Roman says. “There are clothes there for Riley as well. Gwen says they're comfy.”
I take the clothes from Roman and shut the door. I groan. “I have to go. My brothers need me.”
Riley sits up and pulls her hair into a ponytail. I dump the clothes on the bed and start to get dressed. “When we get home, I'm going to run you a nice hot bath and scrub every inch of you clean… just so I can make you dirty again.”
Riley grins. “That better be a promise.”
I finish dressing and kiss her softly. “I promise.”
I leave her to get dressed and I go to Rigor's office where I find Rigor, Anton, and Roman sitting around Rigor's table in various armchairs. I nod my hello and sit down in the free armchair. We all look at Anton, who winces as he sits straight.
“It was the guys from the Vultures that took me. One of them was the one who's been following Riley around,” Anton says quietly. “They want to show force. Take us down for what we did to them. They have plans to attack again, and they're not going to stop… Jimmy isn't going to stop until he has Riley again.”
I can feel my blood boil. “I'll kill that fucker first.”
“He's hard to find. He was only with me briefly in the van before he disappeared somewhere else.” Anton runs a hand over his hair. “They definitely have eyes on us. They know our every move.”
“How did they take you?” Rigor asks. “You have guards.”
“I was brokering a deal. The guards were outside the door. They came through the other one and knocked my client out before taking me. They blocked the door quickly so the guards couldn't get in when I shouted for them. By the time they did get in, I was already long gone.”
“I'm going to torture and kill every last one of them,” I growl. “For touching you and for thinking they can touch Riley.”
”Bold words, but they're quite organized. Jimmy appears to be taking on the role of the ringleader right now. He has been knocked down the proverbial food chain in the underworld, and he wants to climb back up. According to my guard this morning, no one is interested in hiring him, so he's looking to settle the score and make himself look more worthy and attractive to potential employers.”
“I'll give him a job,” Roman says with a short laugh. “His only assignment will be to jump off a fucking cliff.”
Anton cracks a smile. “They're pissed with Viktor because he foiled their plans to kidnap Riley. So if I were you, Viktor,” my twin looks at me. “I wouldn't go anywhere, you or Riley, without guards.”
“I'll make sure some of my men are always with Riley. I'd love for them to try to take me on,” I growl.
“Don't be cocky,” Rigor says calmly, leaning back in his chair. “We're vulnerable when we're alone, and they might not just torture you, Viktor. You saved Riley twice before from their clutches and now from their kidnapping plan. They have it out for your blood. I insist you take Martin with you everywhere, maybe two more men with him.”
“Fine. But if I see that little fucker, I don't care if it's in broad daylight in public. I am putting a bullet through his skull.”
“Be careful,” Rigor warns me. “We can't make the family look bad or bring the cops knocking at our door. I know you're reckless, but for once, please use your brain and think before you act rashly.”
I frown. I sit back and clench my fists. “It's not your wife they're threatening.”
“All our wives are at risk,” Rigor snaps. “Just because they're focused on Riley right now doesn't mean that can't change. All the girls, including Anya, move with guards. No one goes out alone. That's my final word on the matter, Viktor.”
“I'm not arguing,” I say.
We all sit in silence, and Roman raises his hands. “We're all tense about this. Should we not contact Kervyn?”
“No, we handled this by ourselves last time. We can handle it ourselves again this time,” Rigor sits forward as he speaks. “I don't want anyone bothering our cousins with this, do you understand?” He looks pointedly at Roman.
Roman nods. “Okay. Okay. I won't mention it.”
“How are we going to handle the Vultures?”
“We're going to lie low for now,” Rigor says, sitting back once again. “We will see what their next play is and just take safety precautions.”
“You want us to hide?” I ask incredulously.
“Watch yourself, Viktor. You're not in charge of this family. I am making a decision that is in the best interest of everyone involved.”
I look at Anton, who shrugs.
