Her Russian Mafia Protector (12 page)

The battle was clear on his face, and she plunged ahead. “Tell me that you love me, Kaz. Please.”

At first, he didn’t say anything. She took a step closer to him, and he didn’t pull away. She so desperately needed to hear him say the words, and they both knew what would happen if he said them. If he voiced them out loud, he’d never be able to leave her. And as much as she loved the house and everything in it, she’d follow him anywhere. “We can leave together, if you want,” she whispered.

“I’d never ask you to leave school,” he said gruffly. Kaz pulled her into an embrace, and she reveled in it. As he held her tightly, she felt him kiss the top of her head. “I do love you, Veronika. I always have. I always will.”

“Stay with me,” she said as she lifted her head. “Don’t leave me again. This time there isn’t anything in our way. I’ll chase the ghosts away. I promise.”

He dipped his head and kissed her. It was soft at first, and she felt like maybe he was saying goodbye. So before he could pull away, she parted her lips for him. She heard him moan as he slipped his tongue inside her, and the kiss drastically changed.

She put everything she felt in that kiss. All her anger and regrets and love, and he matched it and then some. Soon they were both panting, and he was pulling her in another direction.

They never broke the kiss as they tumbled onto the couch. Without hesitation, she straddled him and ran her fingers through his hair.

“Veronika. My love,” he moaned as he pushed her jacket from her shoulders. She leaned back and stripped off her sweater and her bra. His mouth immediately went to her breast, and she clutched at his head and whimpered softly. He knew just how to make her body feel good.

Desire curled deep in her belly as his touch sent waves of shock through her. Pushing his head away, she slowly got up and unsnapped her jeans. His eyes were dark with lust, and she turned her back and bent at the waist as she lowered her jeans to the floor. She heard him scoot on the cushions until he reached out and cupped her bare cheek. Only a thin strap from her thong ran along her crack, and he tugged gently at it. The lace brushed up against her clit, and she gasped.

“Putting on a show for me?” he asked in a harsh voice as he trailed a finger under the strap. “Trying to get me to change my mind?”

She slowly straightened and sat on his lap. Cupping one arm around his neck, she drew his hand over her abdomen and down to her wetness. “You’ve already made up your mind, Kaz,” she murmured. When he slid a finger deep inside her, she arched her pelvis and moaned. “You made that choice when you told me that you loved me.”

“I do love you,” he whispered huskily in her ear. “And if you don’t let me leave right now, I may never be able to let you go.”

She arched her hips into his touch and reached down to run her finger along her seeping juices. With a devious smile, she placed the finger in his mouth and watched as he sucked it clean. “That’s the idea.”

With a growl, he cupped her sex and lifted her as he undid his pants. When he finally sprang free, she reached down and grasped his length. He was hard and pulsing beneath her hands, and she couldn’t help but squeeze.

“God, Veronika,” he moaned as he forcefully removed her hand. “You’re going to be the death of me.”

“It’ll be a good death,” she whispered, and then she lifted herself up and slowly sank down on top of him. Inch by inch.

When she could take no more, she contracted her muscles around him and whimpered. “Mine,” she whispered. “You’re mine.”

“Forever,” he agreed, and then he put his hands around her hips and began to force her to move.

Soon, the only sounds in the room were the slapping of skin and the cries of ecstasy. But it was more than just sex. Every move that he made, every touch, was meant to bring her closer to pleasure. When he finally rubbed the pad of his thumb on her clit, she screamed his name and came. He slammed her down on her top of him and sank his teeth in her shoulder as he came with her.

“I’ll keep you safe,” he promised as he moved her damp hair to the side and placed a gentle kiss on the crook of her neck.

She settled against him and closed her eyes. She was loved by the man she never thought could love anything. And here, today, she would build a new life around him.

The End!
