Chapter Fourteen
Sasha
“ W hat are you doing?” I demand. “You’re not going to kill my sister.”
Nico keeps his gun directed at Natalya but he doesn’t pull the trigger. She holds still, not even blinking. “She’s trying to take you away from me.”
“She’s my sister,” I hiss. “If you hurt her, I will never forgive you and you know it. We shared a moment a few days ago. You can’t throw all of that away to hurt Natalya. You can’t.”
“I have been wanting to hurt Mikhail for some time. Natalya is the way to Mikhail’s heart. If I kill her, I hurt him.”
“And you hurt me too,” I remind him. “You said you want me to like you. You want me to give myself in to you. If you hurt my sister, I will never do that and you know it.”
Nico slowly lowers his gun. “You have to stop running, sweetheart.” He walks past Natalya and throws me over his shoulder.
“Let her go,” Natalya says.
“Don’t,” I tell her. “Don’t get hurt. Go home to Mikhail. I’ve got this.”
“I promised I would protect you.”
“And you tried. It’s ok. I don’t blame you.”
Nico brings me over to his car and places me in the passenger seat. I don’t put up a fight. Even if Natalya and I have had our differences over the years, she’s still my family and I love her and I will fight to make sure she’s not hurt.
“How sweet,” Nico mocks as he gets into the car. “The sisterly bond.”
I watch Natalya get smaller and smaller as Nico drives me away from her. The moment she’s out of sight, I smack him on the arm. “What was that? You can’t honestly tell me you were about to kill my own sister?”
“She belongs to Mikhail now. She’s no longer your sister. She’s the enemy.”
“My sister will never be my enemy. And all those strange feelings I was having for you? Yeah, they’re gone now. You just reminded me of why I hate you.”
Nico slams on the breaks, sending me crashing forward. If it weren’t for my seatbelt, I would have gone through the window. “You just tried to leave me. You don’t get to act superior.”
“You threatened to kill my sister. Yes, I do get to act better than you.”
“I wasn’t actually going to hurt her. It was just a threat. A reminder that I’m not to be messed with. Your sister will return to Mikhail and tell him what I did. Mikhail will know that I have more power than him and it will hurt his little, pathetic feelings.”
“I will not stand back and let you hurt my sister in your quest to get to Mikhail. I just won’t.
If you want me on your side, Nico, you will never threaten to hurt my sister again.
She may be married to Mikhail and I may be married to you but that doesn’t mean my sister and I are enemies. We never will be.”
He restarts the car and drives us back home. Without a word, he gets out and pulls me from my seat, throwing me over his shoulder again.
“Let me down,” I demand, but he just ignores me.
He takes me upstairs to our new bedroom and tosses me onto the bed. Before I can get up, he rolls me onto my stomach and brings his hand right down onto my ass. I yelp and try to crawl away but Nico only spanks me harder.
“You don’t get to leave me,” he growls.
“She just wanted to protect me.”
“I’ve proven that I will protect you. Are you honestly worried I’d hurt you at this point?”
“You say that as you’re spanking me,” I grit out.
He stills his hand right on my backside. I can’t deny the warmth that spreads through my body from his touch.
“Answer me,” he says, his voice hoarse. “Why do you want to get away from me so much?”
“You’re dangerous.”
“So is Mikhail. So is Denis. So was your father.”
I slump on the bed as all the fight leaves me. “I don’t hate you, Nico. I wish I did but I don’t. It’s not that I wanted to leave you per se but more that I wanted to reconnect with my sister. She was just trying to protect me from you. She doesn’t know you… the way I do.”
He rolls me onto my back and gazes down into my eyes. My breath hitches. His eyes are a powerful, intense thing.
“I won’t kill any of your sisters,” he promises. “Not even Natalya. But you have to promise to stop running from me. Try to make this work.”
I have no words for him. Instead, I reach up and grab his face and bring him down to me. There’s a breath between us before Nico slams his lips into mine. I moan as I let myself sink into him. His kiss could cure anything in this world, I swear. It’s addicting. Intoxicating. Overwhelming.
And freeing.
Despite what just happened between him and Natalya, I don’t hate Nico. He could have easily killed her and he chose not to… for me. He wants me to choose him and I find that I can’t hold back any longer. I’m tired of fighting how I feel for him, even though it’s complicated and messy.
I want to get lost in Nico. For a moment, I don’t want to worry about my family. I just want to enjoy myself.
I pull back from the kiss, breathing heavy, and say the words that will change me forever. “Take me. I want you to take me. All of me.”
His eyes darken and there’s no hesitation on his part as he wraps his arms around me and brings our lips back together. Nico doesn’t need to be asked twice. I’m giving him permission and he’s not going to stop this time.
His hands roam down to the waistband of my pants and pushes them down. I gasp as his fingers skim along my skin, roughly taking my pants off me. His hands don’t waste any time shoving my shirt off and then taking my bra with it.
Nico pulls back and gazes down at my bare chest. “Fuck. You’re mine.” His lips trail kisses down my neck to my breasts. I arch into him. Even though he’s touched me much more intimately in the past, this moment feels different. We feel different. There are no more barriers between us.
I tried to act like I hated Nico and in some ways, I do still get frustrated with him. But in my gut, I know I don’t hate him and I want to know what it’s like to be claimed by a man like him. Someone so powerful. So in control. I’m desperate for it.
I gasp when his lips circle around one of my nipples. “I’m sensitive there.”
He leans back with a smirk. “I know. I can tell.” He gives each of my nipples a kiss before moving down to my stomach. I suck in a breath.
He catches my eyes as he grips the edges of my panties. “There’s no going back, sweetheart.”
“Then don’t stop.”
He rips my panties right off me and parts my legs. I can’t stop the moan that escapes me when his palm cups me. He begins to run his hand along my nub, getting my body ready, as if I haven’t been ready for a while.
“Oh,” I gasp out.
“You’re already wet for me,” he teases. “I’m starting to think high stress situations turn you on.”
“Just touch me,” I whine softly.
“I knew you’d be begging me at some point. I told you I was a patient man.” He removes his hand from between my legs and I can’t stop myself from pouting. “Learn to be patient too.” He taps my lips with the fingers that were just touching my vulva. I can taste myself on them.
Nico steps back and unbuttons his shirt. The reveal of his hard chest makes me even more aroused. He’s all power and strength and he knows it.
With a tiny smirk, he takes his pants and underwear off, giving me an entire view of his body. I’ve had his length inside of my mouth before and I remember how intimidating it was. How I struggled to get all of him inside. I couldn’t do it.
But can my body handle what my mouth couldn’t?
He kneels on the bed and parts my legs wider. “You are a vision, sweetheart. I’ve been waiting for this moment since I first met you.”
“Then get it over with.”
“It’s not about getting it over with. It’s about enjoying the ride.” His fingers move back between my legs and find my entrance. “I have to get you ready for my cock since I know you’ve never had one inside of you before. Unless you’re about to tell me that you really have had sex.”
“We both know I haven’t,” I snap, making him laugh.
“I just wanted to hear you say it.” Then he slips his finger inside of me. It’s a tight fit but with my arousal, he’s able to get his finger all the way in. The sensation is strange: full and tight but also arousing and exciting.
He begins to roll his finger around inside of me. “I don’t want you to hurt too much when I put my cock inside of you.”
“You’re lying,” I gasp, arching my hips up. “You want me to hurt. You want to punish me for trying to leave you again.”
He presses his lips to my ear. “Maybe just a little.”
I moan softly when he thrusts his finger into me more. Slowly, he adds another finger, stretching me, getting me ready for him.
“Nico.” I grip his arms to steady myself.
“I can’t believe you made me think for a moment that you’re not a virgin. You can’t hide this sort of innocence, sweetheart. Now, I want you to come for me. Come on my fingers.” He thrusts them harder into me and the sensation is too much.
My hips rock up like a madwoman, seeking friction. Seeking him. His touch.
Nico’s thumb finds my nub and he presses down. My hips jerk up. My breath comes out in pants. And my vision darkens until all I can see is Nico and nothing else.
That’s when my release washes over me.
“Oh!” I cry out, rocking my hips against his hand. Nico continues to smirk, knowing full well the pleasure he’s giving me. I can see his length harden even more. Feeling brave from my orgasm, I spread my legs wider. “Take me. Now.”
“So bossy,” he teases. In a forceful motion, he grabs my hips and lines his length up to my entrance. There’s a moment between us…
Before he thrusts his hips forward and enters me. I gasp from the sensation. There’s a tiny bit of pain that doesn’t last long. It’s just my body getting used to this.
Nico remains kneeling on the bed as he plunges his length deeper into me. I never knew anything could go this deep inside of my body. Because of Nico, I’m learning new things about myself.
Not that I would tell him that. It will only feed his ego.
