The Den of Sin

by Eva Winners

“She said no,” he growled through his teeth, his Russian accent more prominent than ever. “I see you touching her again, I’ll slice your throat open.”

“I’ll clean you up and then I’ll worship you all night long,” he murmured softly, his face nuzzled in the crook of my neck.

“Your mother destroyed my family.” He turned his head and those pale eyes that burned all night were colder than Alaskan temperatures in the winter. “She spread her legs for my father and destroyed my family in the process. Took a mother from Sasha and Tatiana, cost a wife her life.”

Her blind trust made my betrayal even worse. But I was done paying for my sins. Or our parents’. This time, I’d play for my queen. Let the games begin.

“You are mine.” Thrust. “Mine to fuck.” Thrust. “Mine to protect.” Thrust. “Mine to love.”

“I want to be your boyfriend, your man, your partner… Whatever you want to call it.”

The world we knew Won’t come back The time we’ve lost Can’t get back The life we had Won’t bleed us again.

“I wanted you from the moment I laid eyes on you. Despite the fact you assumed I was Tatiana’s father. You’re right, I’m too old for you, but I don’t fucking care. I don’t care who your parents are, or mine. I want us. If I wasn’t such a stubborn dick and would have just admitted to myself that you’re my end game after fantasizing about you since your freshman year, maybe I could have saved us all these years of loneliness, and saved our baby. And if you give us a chance, I’ll be making it up to you for the rest of our lives.”

“Please give us a chance. You told me five years ago that it wasn’t just a fuck for you. It wasn’t for me either. You were and still are everything to me.”

“I love you, Isabella Taylor Santos. I want you forever. Marry me. I’m not getting any younger, and there isn’t a single minute I want to live without you.”
