20. Chapter Twenty
Chapter Twenty
Sasha
S ince Mikhail lit our previous house on fire, I’m not surprised to see a new home that Nico pulls us up to. It’s somehow even bigger and more beautiful than the last one.
“I had to buy it last minute,” he says. “I hope you like it.”
“It’s our home. I’ll love it no matter what.”
“Who are you and where did my wife go?”
I laugh as I stretch out my legs. My wounded leg still hurts despite being in the hospital for the past week recovering and it’s going to take it a long while before it’s fully healed. But I have hope. Hope for the future. Hope to get better. Hope with Nico.
There are still things to worry about, like Denis keeping my sisters and mom hostage but Nico took care of Giovanni for us. Liam might still be a problem but he’s one Nico can handle. I believe it. Even when I hated him, I still knew he would save me.
And he’s never let me down in that regard.
I wince when pain shoots up my leg.
“Let’s get you inside,” Nico says.
He carries me over the threshold, even as I object. “You’re my wife. I have to pamper you a little bit.”
“Where was all this pampering on our honeymoon?”
“I didn’t love you then. But I do now.”
“Very honest.”
He gives me a sweet smile as he places me onto the couch. Of course the house is fully furnished. When Nico works fast, he works fast.
“So, are you going to be my nurse?” I ask.
“No,” he snorts. “I’ve hired a nurse to help you out. I can’t be doing too many girly things. I could lose my manhood.”
“Or I could shoot you in the dick. That would work.”
He sits down beside me, placing my legs over his lap. “You could try but you won’t succeed. But I do promise to help you when you need it. I just have work to attend to so I figured a nurse would help when I’m not home. I’m looking forward to pampering you.”
“Really? You’re going to lose some power to me, you know.”
“Oh I know. But I’ve learned that it’s not a competition between us. A marriage isn’t that way. I realize now that a marriage is about keeping each other safe. And that’s all I want to do from now on. That and ravage you when you get better.”
His words make me shiver. I’m desperate for Nico to touch me again but it will be a while before my body is ready to have sex. We’ll just have to wait but I know when the time comes, it’s going to be spectacular.
“You’ve surprised me,” I admit. “I never thought I could fall in love with you but… here I am.”
“Here you are. How does it feel?”
“It feels… perfect. But don’t let that go to your head.”
“Too late.” He smirks as he kisses me. It’s gentle and sweet and everything I wished for in a husband.
But I know when I’m better our kisses will turn rough and passionate. That’s everything I need in a husband. It’s everything I need with Nico.
A month goes by and my leg is officially better. I’m still limping a little bit but physical therapy is helping and I should be back to moving normally within a few more months.
There’s only one thing on my mind after the doctor gave me the all clear.
Nico is in his office when I return home from the doctor’s appointment. Never has he looked more handsome.
I don’t say a word as I walk around his desk and grab his face and kiss him.
Nico’s hands grip my waist, sending floods of arousal through me. I’ve missed this. I’ve missed him.
“Sweetheart,” he murmurs, “if you’re not feeling better than you shouldn’t kiss me like this.”
“I am. The doctor said we could. I want to. I’m tired of waiting.”
That gives Nico all the permission he needs.
With a growl, he sets me on the desk and parts my legs. “I’ve been needing to taste you for a while now.”
Carefully, he pushes my dress up and pulls my underwear down. The scar from the bullet is still in my thigh, always a reminder of how hard I fought to save myself and Natalya. The two of us are stronger as sisters than we’ve ever been. Shared trauma will do that to people.
I push thoughts of my sister away as Nico kneels on the ground and places his face between my legs. The second his lips find my clit, I can’t stop the moan that escapes me. Nico’s mouth is perfection as he runs it over my nub and folds, pleasuring me in only the way he can.
He’s careful not to grip my thighs like he has in the past – not until my leg is better. The fact that he’s showing me consideration like this after how we started means the world to me. I thought I would hate him forever but he’s shown me that there’s a man inside of him that is worthy of love.
My hips arch up, getting closer to his face. Nico growls hungrily. His tongue laps me up like a man dying of thirst. It has been over a month since our first time together. I guess he is hungry for it. I know I am.
It doesn’t take me long to feel the beginnings of pleasure coursing through my body.
“Oh,” I moan, thrusting my hips into his face. Nico only licks and kisses my nub harder. My hands find the back of his head and hold him there right as my orgasm comes.
It doesn’t take much. I’ve been missing this just as much as he has been.
Nico gives me a dark smirk as he stands up and undoes his belt buckle. Goosebumps break out on my skin at the sound of his pants rustling as he pushes them down. His erection springs forth. My hands have a mind of their own as I grip him. The groan that escapes his lips only turns me on more.
I stroke him a few times before he pushes my hands away and lines his length up to my entrance. This isn’t lovemaking naked in a bed. This is desperate fucking between a couple who have missed each other’s bodies so much that we can’t even wait to get to a bed.
I open my legs wider and Nico pulls my ass right to the end of the desk. My arousal coats my inner thighs. I’m ready for this. Ready for him.
Nico catches my eyes, then thrusts his hips forward. I’m still tight since we’ve only had sex once before and from my injury but my body accepts him without any problems. Nico’s moan makes my arousal flare even more.
I lock my ankles behind his backside, drawing him in closer. His hands slam onto the desk to steady himself. Knowing he’s losing control and wants to keep me safe at the same time.
I lay down on the desk and let him fully take me.
His thrusts are powerful while still being somewhat gentle.
He’s not taking me as hard as he could but I know that will change after my leg fully heals.
Nico and I have forever together to explore our bodies and I can’t wait.
Just the thought makes me shiver in excitement.
He grinds his hips against mine. I can’t hold back my moan and neither can Nico. We’re not even trying to be quiet but it’s just us home today. No staff around the house. We can be as loud as we want.
Our pace becomes more frantic and wild. We’re not going to be able to hold off for much longer.
I tighten my legs around his waist, letting my inner walls clench down on his cock. He groans and thrusts into me harder.
“Nico,” I whimper.
“Yes,” he growls. “Say my name. Scream it.”
Everything loses meaning to me as I get lost in my pleasure. And that’s when I experience my second orgasm.
And I can’t stop myself: I scream out Nico’s name.
That spurs him on. His thrust are strong and wild and rough. And I take it all.
“Sasha,” he groans, shuddering into me. I sit up and hold him close. It’s the first time he’s ever said my name in the heat of pleasure and I now know why he always wants to hear me say his name. It’s an ego-boost but it’s also an action out of love.
We love each other. Who knew?
We’re both slightly sweaty and tired and panting.
I push his hair back and he does the same to me before we kiss.
“How do you feel right now?” he murmurs against my lips.
“I feel happy.”
Never have truer words been said.
