Page 59 of Kept By the Bratva

Diego had refused to listen to a single word about anyone buying Amy from him. The Cartel was no help, but this wasn’t an issue he held against them. He’d already taken his anger out on them, killing some of their men, but his problem lay with the Bratva. He’d dismissed our offer to talk and to pay for her, so there was only one other avenue.

He’d offered to host a “discussion” at a location courtesy of the Ortez men, but no talking would happen tonight.

As soon as I made this beautiful soul hug my cock and come, I’d beleaving just like I intended. Dmitri and I would kill that motherfucker, and no one would dare to covet her ever again.

The thrill of looking forward to her being mine made me damn-near come now. She felt so good, and she represented my future. The lover who shone above the countless other women in my life. The woman who’d mother my children and lead our little family with love. The partner who had yet to lose her backbone, even in standing up to me.

You aremine, Amy. Mine.

Once I killed Diego, Amy would be mine for good, and I had a lifetime of her sweet pussy milking me to look forward to.

“Nik,” she sobbed as she clenched around me. Her thighs quivered as her full body shook. I held her close, thrusting up into her and following her into a wickedly intense orgasm.

I shot my cum deep into her, feeling powerful to please her and let her coax me into coming with her. Our juices mixed together, sticky between us and likely dirtying the clothes I hadn’t even taken off. Holding her flush to me, I felt her racing heart under mine, beating in time to the passion and desire we were stupid to ever resist.

This bond between us would never weaken, and with this connection, I would make sure she never felt alone or lost again.

We already had a family started. I couldn’t wait to look for a proper house to move into and start my forever with her. I didn’t know for sure if she would ever fully accept me for who I was, but I promised to never lose her or my children.

As we came down from the rush of coming, we sat on the bed and caught our breath. I rubbed my hands over her back as she clung to me. Her face pushed into my neck as she draped her arms around me, and with a little groan of contentment, I cherished the freedom of her happy sigh.

“Can you stay?” she whispered. “Just for a little longer?”

I kissed her shoulder before I picked her up. “No.” She clung to me as I carried her to the shower, where we cleaned up together. Her touches were sweet and possessive as the water rinsed us. My kisses were a sign of my addiction for her. But I didn’t try for anything more.

She was lazy and sated, happy and sleepy with those lopsided smiles of a well-fucked woman. I wanted to see her like this always, contented because of me.

After I dried her off, I got dressed again and prepared to leave.

“As soon as I remove that fucker from interfering with our lives,” I told her, pausing to press my hand to her stomach, “I’m staying with you for good.”

She smiled, nodding. “Then hurry back to me, please, so we can start that as soon as possible.”

After I grabbed my guns, I left, determined to heed her wishes as quickly as possible.

AMY

After Nik left, I lounged in the living room and wondered how long his task would take. Knowing that he was going somewhere with the intention to kill someone should have alarmed me. It wasn’t normal to be knowledgeable about a pending murder and not do anything about it. It wasn’t proper to murder people. That was a simple foundation that determined the difference between right and wrong.

I not only knew Nik was out there to kill Diego, but I also wanted him to. I’d fallen so far into this criminal lifestyle already that my barometer of right-versus-wrong was skewed and twisted.

Diego wanted to possess me. He was wrong to do so. And for that, he deserved to die. If Nik didn’t eliminate him as a threat, he would always be looking for me. My babies deserved a fair chance to be brought into this world with all the love I could give them. Maybe it was a premature mama-bear instinct coming to play, but I was damned protective of these new lives I carried.

Still, it was weird. Waiting around picked at my nerves, and soon, Igrew antsy and restless. Nik told me he’d be back, but I had no clue how long these kinds of things took.

When he left, I felt sated and calm. Connecting with him in a physical sense mended something in my heart. It wasn’t enough. I doubted I’d ever get my fill of Nikolai Valkov, but I was glad he caved to give me something more than that careful pampering.

I wanted him. I wanted to make him come and look at me with that unbridled lust until I could dupe myself into thinking that he loved me back.

Love.

I smiled, circling my foot as I sat and tried to free the kink in that joint.

Love, indeed.

What I felt for Nik was a complicated, messy thing, but deep down, I knew it had to be the purest of all emotions. Ilovedhim, and I wondered how long it would wear on me to keep that a secret too.
