I met his gaze steadily. “I know what it entails. But consider this—married to me, Riley would be untouchable. The Orlovs would think twice before coming after the wife of Maxim Morozov. It solidifies her protection and sends a clear message to anyone who dares challenge us.”
Nikolai nodded slowly, seeing the logic in my words. “It’s a bold move, but it might just work. It would certainly secure her safety.”
Marrying Riley would not just be a shield against the Orlovs; it would bind her to me in ways I found myself increasingly eager to explore.
She would be mine. Officially. Forever.
“Yes,” I affirmed, more certain than ever. “It’s the best way to keep her safe.”
I’d say it was up to her too, but I would be lying.
She belonged to Daddy now.
As my bride.
CHAPTER 15
Riley
I woke with a start, bolting upright in the bed. The sheets fell from my body, pooling in my lap. For a moment, the remnants of a dream hung around me, clouding my thoughts, but then I blinked, and it was gone just like someone had erased an Etch-A-Sketch.
I reached back, pressing my fingers against the bed where Maxim should have been. With a start, I realized that he wasn’t beside me and I immediately turned my head, seeing a beautiful red rose and a piece of paper with a note on his pillow.
I picked it up.
Riley-girl,
I had to leave for a meeting, but I wanted to tell you I will be thinking about you for the entire duration of it. When I return, I expect to find you waiting for me in our bed where I plan to make you mine for the rest of the night.
Until then,
Daddy
My stomach fluttered a little at his words, and a blush crept up onto my cheeks.
Did I really belong to him now?
My heart skipped a beat at the thought and a fresh wave of butterflies fluttered to life in my stomach. I reached for the flower, noticing that there wasn’t a single thorn and I lifted it to my nose.
The scent was just as wonderful as I imagined it would be. The fresh floral aroma sent a wave of calm through me, and I realized something else.
For the first time in my life, I was happy.
Sore… Actually, scratch that, very sore.
But also very happy.
A tiny smile curved up at the corners of my mouth and my gaze turned back down to the letter.
I would have to wait for him to come back, but a part of me wanted to be in bed when he returned, just like he wanted. For some reason, I wanted to obey him just so I could receive more of his praise.
I needed him to call me his good girl again.
Just the thought of it made me shiver with desire as my nipples pebbled to sharp little points. I pressed my forearms over my breasts, covering myself as I came to terms with the fact that I was still fully naked beneath the covers.
With his seed still coating my thighs.
He’d made me call him Daddy.
