To breathe.
To beg.
One orgasm turned into two and then two bled into three until I was a mass of exquisitely intense sensation that didn’t have an end in sight. My body convulsed and then I came so hard that tears filled my eyes. Blackness bordered on the edges of my vision and my consciousness stuttered and tilted on its edge.
And then, finally, his cock stiffened and with one last, deep thrust, his body stilled. His groan vibrated through my entire body and the heat of his cum filled me while his arms wrapped around me, holding me close.
I came so hard that I passed out.
CHAPTER 14
Maxim
Riley had been asleep in my arms for hours, her naked body curled against me. The sheets were tangled around her, and her hair was a mess. Her cheeks were still flushed, and the soft pink glow of her skin was almost ethereal.
Even asleep, she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.
The two of us had crossed a line last night and there was no going back. There would be no would-haves, should-haves, or could-haves. There was simply her and me and what we were to each other.
Now she was all mine, like a piece of a puzzle that I hadn’t even known was missing.
A flood of emotions washed over me—emotions I had not allowed myself to feel in a long time. Since my wife’s death, I had built walls around my heart, vowing never to let myself be so vulnerable again. Yet here I was, holding Riley and feeling things that both thrilled and terrified me despite every bit of me trying not to.
I was not a man given to losing control, yet with every breath Riley took, I was growing more and more attached to keeping her by my side.
The moment she called me Daddy, I’d lost it completely. I had been resisting her every step of the way, but I hadn’t been able to any longer.
I was only a man.
This wasn’t like me. I had spent years hardening myself, turning my grief into a shield against further emotional turmoil. I had always been focused on power, on business, and on strengthening the hold of my bratva family across the globe.
Never on a woman.
Riley whimpered in her sleep and my arms tightened around her, wanting to protect her and chase all her nightmares away.
I watched her a moment longer, memorizing the peaceful expression on her face.
Just then, my phone buzzed softly on the nightstand. Carefully, I disentangled myself from Riley, each movement measured to ensure she remained undisturbed. As I lifted the phone, the screen lit up with Sergei’s name.
Stepping quietly out of the bedroom, I closed the door behind me with a soft click. I answered the call as I moved down the hallway toward my own room.
“Maxim, we need to meet.” Sergei’s voice came through, tense and urgent.
“What’s happened?” I asked, my voice low.
“It’s better discussed in person. Can you come to the bar?”
“I’ll be there shortly,” I replied. After hanging up, I quickly dressed in a tailored black suit, all while mentally preparing myself for whatever this family meeting might entail.
I couldn’t leave without seeing her one more time.
Quietly, I opened the door just enough to slip inside. On the pillow beside where she lay, I placed a single rose and a note. With one last look at her, still sleeping soundly, I left the room, gently closing the door behind me.
I couldn’t wait to return to her, and I hadn’t even left.
When my car pulled up to the Iron Wolf Tavern, my brothers were already there waiting as I walked through the front door into the darkened interior. It was still the early morning hours, so the place was quiet, and we had it all to ourselves.
Sergei was sitting at the bar next to my brother Ivan. Aleksei and Nikolai were camped out near them at a round table in the center of the room.
