“A lot of sugar,” I say as he reads the box. I take another bite of my toast. “At least the bread is whole grain. That’s good for you.”
He looks up at me and shrugs. “I’m not concerned about it. I’m in good shape, and I work out regularly. My blood work is good, too.”
I’m not one to give health advice, and I’m sure he’s healthier than I am, but diabetes can creep up on you. If I’m going to keep my husband around for long enough to raise kids with him, I’d prefer if he didn’t drink champagne straight out of the bottle, smoke, and eat chocolate cereal for breakfast.
“Your bachelor days are over,” I say, pulling the box out of his hand and putting it on my side of the table. “Tomorrow, you should try some fruit if you want something sweet.”
He pouts his lips at me, his eyes narrowing. “You don’t want me to die so that you can inherit my riches?”
I crunch into the last bite of my toast, keeping my expression dead serious. “They’ll be plenty of time for that with how much older you are than me. I won’t have to try to kill you, Viktor.”
“You’re asking for trouble, talking like that,” he says with a grin as he lifts his spoon. “Don’t think I haven’t forgotten your spanking. I owe you one.”
“Give it to me now, then,” I say, standing up from my stool and bending over. I’m just out of reach on purpose. He’d probably knock me over if he tried to spank me.
He shakes his head, but his greedy eyes are glued to my ass. “Too early for that. I need to get warmed up first.”
“Ah, more signs of old age,” I say, standing straight again.
Viktor chuckles, taking a mouthful of cereal and shaking his head. “Not old age, my dear. Just taking my time to enjoy the moment.” He eats quickly, his eyes never leaving me. “Besides, anticipation makes it better.”
I roll my eyes, but a shiver runs down my spine. Despite everything, there’s an undeniable attraction between us, a pull that I can’t resist even when I’m not ready for intimacy again.
He stands up, taking his empty bowl to the sink. As he rinses it out, he glances back at me. “We have a meeting with Ivan and the others later about the man in the blue suit. I need you to behave while we’re there.”
I cross my arms, leaning against the counter. “When am I not?”
Viktor steps closer, his fingers brushing a strand of hair behind my ear. “You’re doing well, but remember, there are rules. Structure. You can’t just act on impulse. You need to follow mylead, and don’t question me when things get intense. I have far more experience than you do. Perks of being an old man.”
I look up at him, his intense gaze making my heart race. “I’ll try to remember that.”
“Good,” he says, his voice softer now. “Because I need you by my side. You’re essential to the survival of the Bratva. After all, you will be having my heir.”
I nod, feeling a mix of arousal and fear. “I understand.”
“Do you?” he asks, his hand moving to cup my chin, tilting my head up to meet his eyes. “Because I won’t stop until I get you pregnant. We’ll do this every day if we have to.”
I swallow hard, the weight of his words sinking in. “I understand, Viktor.”
“Good girl,” he murmurs, leaning down to press a kiss to my forehead. “Now, go get dressed. We have a lot to do today.”
As I head towards our bedroom, I can feel his eyes on me. The dynamic between us is complicated, filled with power plays and unspoken agreements. But beneath it all, there’s an excitement that’s undeniable.
I close the door behind me, taking a moment to collect myself. I could’ve sworn he was going to jump up from his seat and spank me, but his words were more powerful than any physical blows could’ve been.
He wants me to submit to him entirely. Body, mind, and soul. I won’t be able to escape now, and I don’t even want to. I’m along for the ride, no matter how terrifying it can be. The payoff is intoxicating.
I take a deep breath and begin to get ready, thinking now about the man in the blue suit. It sounds so simple, yet I know there’s more at play here than a little leaked information. Viktor is far too focused on this for it to be just a little hiccup. Something deeper lurks beneath the surface.
Just as I pull a shirt from the closet, the door bursts open. Viktor strides in with a determined look in his eyes. My heart skips a beat, and I drop the shirt, turning to face him.
“What—”
Before I can finish, he grabs my wrist and spins me around, pushing me down over the edge of the bed. I gasp, my palms hitting the mattress as I brace myself.
“Viktor, what are you doing?” My voice trembles, a mix of surprise and excitement.
“I’ve changed my mind,” he growls. “I’ve decided to spank you nowandlater tonight. That way, you won’t forget to behave.”
