“You?” she asks. The corner of my mouth lifts again. Baby, you don’t want to know who I am. “The Devil,” I murmur as I let out a breath of air against her ear, which makes her shiver. “You better fuck like one.”
He’s everything I’ve been craving. The Devil. God, I hope so.
The corner of his mouth lifts again. “Family. Never thought I’d consider having kids.” “I’ll teach them how to shoot a gun,” I joke. Demitri’s smile widens. “You better, seeing as you’ll be their godfather.”
Again Alexei laughs. “Do you really want to deprive the world of the ecstasy you felt when I fucked you?” My left eyebrow shoots up. “Vain much?” “No, just confident.”
Demitri shrugs. “No one said anything about protecting your manhood. You’re on your own when it comes to your cock.”
You’re strong enough to survive at my side, but how the fuck do I capture someone as wild as you?
I’ll make Isabella love me, marry her, and then she’ll be mine. Together we’ll rule the world.
Closing the distance between us, I turn my head and rest my cheek against his chest again. Alexei’s arms wrap around me, and it makes me feel safe… as if I belong… as if this is how things were between us. Lifting my right arm, I place my hand on his back, then I whisper, “I just need a moment.” “Take as long as you need, baby. I get to hold you so you won’t hear any complaints from me.” Everything he says is perfect. Everything he does is perfect.
“Want to shoot some targets with me?” “God, I love it when you talk dirty to me.”
Turning to Demitri, I ask, “How am I going to make the proposal romantic?” He gives me an incredulous look. “You’re aware I don’t have a romantic bone in my body? Go ask Ariana.”
Okay. Deep breaths. You love Isabella. Christ, so much for thinking I was the one in control. My breathing begins to speed up as I feel panic for the first time in my life. What if her memory returns and I lose her? What the fuck will I do then?
“Whatever happens in the future, I want you to remember this moment. I mean everything I’m going to say.”
“I fucking love everything about you. I could spend the next hour going into detail, but I won’t. I want you. All of you. I want you next to my side. I want to wage wars with you. I want to build empires with you. I want you in every new memory I make because there isn’t a woman on the face of this planet I respect more.”
It’s not just about love. It’s us forming an unbreakable alliance for life. Together we’ll fight. Together we’ll die. But first… together, we’ll live.
“Mine. A fucking goddess belongs to me.” My lips curve up as I shake my head, and framing his jaw with my palms, I say, “No, a god belongs to me.”
“What do you want?” I ask, intimacy weaving a spell around us. “You naked every night.” He pushes a finger inside me, and a moan spills over my lips, then I breathe, “And?” “You by my side forever.” As Alexei’s mouth takes mine, my heart fills with warmth, and it slowly spreads through my body. Today I made the right decision when I agreed to marry Alexei. I have no regrets.
My heartbeat speeds up as the thought that I can actually lose Isabella crosses my mind.
My heartbeat speeds up. “You’re attracted to me.” Alexei nods. “I thought I made that clear?” “You really love me?” A smile curves his lips, and his eyes soften. “More than anything.”
He really loves me? Alexei Koslov really loves me.
She’s back. I didn’t lose the love of my life. Thank fuck.
“When I make a promise, I keep it, so I don’t make them often. But, Ana, I promise you’re safe with me. I won’t touch you unless it’s to save your life. I’ll respect your boundaries. I love Isabella, and I plan on marrying her, which means the two of us will become family. I always protect my family.”
“I don’t want anything between us.” “You might get pregnant,” I state the obvious. “You have a problem with me bearing your children?” she sasses me. I quickly shake my head, and the image of Isabella pregnant with my child almost makes me lose control. “Hell fucking no.” “Then fuck me, Alexei.”
“When did you fall in love with me?” A smile spreads over my face. “The moment I learned my party crasher was the goddess of mischief and chaos.”
