Betrothed To The Don CHAPTER 21: LUCIA
When I'm finally home, Ivan's the last person I expect to see. I really hoped I would be in my room by the time he got back from work just so I could avoid him because believe you me, I'm still outrightly embarrassed over the events of last night. He must be home early because of his mum.But then again, I guess it's a good thing I'm seeing him now. I'll just use the opportunity to apologize for last night. Hopefully, he's not too angry because it's really hard to figure him out as he walks to me."Hey, how was dinner?" No doubt Pavel told him I was going out with my friends."Dinner was great. I didn't think you'd be home this early." We're now walking together towards the stairs."My mom." I can feel the thick tension rolling out of the two of us in perfect synchronization with how awkward our conversation is, and I don't like it one bit. It's all my fault."Look," I stop abruptly halfway up the stairs with a hand over his to stop him as well. "I'm sorry about my behaviour last nig
Betrothed To The Don CHAPTER 22: IVAN
I'm usually already awake by 5 a.m. to go about my day. It's like a default setting my body and mind has grown accustomed to. But when I awoke and saw that Lucia had gotten past the pillow she used as a barricade last night and her body was practically tangled with mine, I knew I couldn't push her away so I remained in bed for another hour. Plus, it's been a while since I was this close to a woman, and it felt so good to have her sprawled on my chest like that and in my arms. There's no way I'm letting her leave after today. When the time reaches 6 a.m., I know I must get up before I impulsively decide to take the day off. I inhale her vanilla scent before getting up and going to the ensuite to start my morning routines. When that is done, I dress in a three piece beige suit and style my hair. I have to be at work early today to begin my search for Lucia's ex, Alfred Curtis. There's a possibility that it might not be him, but at this point, I don't care. I'm not willing to gamble a
Betrothed To The Don CHAPTER 23: LUCIA
I'm very much awake when Ivan comes into the room. Infact, my laptop is still turned on next to me on the bed. I don't think I'm ready to start explaining why I'm still in his room even after his mum left today. I don't know how or what happened, but my room looks like something exploded in there. When I went in with my laptop and a few of my dresses on a hanger, I ran back out in shock when I saw that the ceiling of my room was practically littered all over the floor.Aliya was equally as shocked as me when she came to see what freaked me out. I'm just grateful all my belongings - down to my luggages - weren't there. Otherwise, it would've been a hassle trying to get them all out. When Ivan's back is facing me, I open my eyes properly as he enters the ensuite with a tequila bottle and gently shuts the door behind him. I doubt he even noticed that I wasn't actually sleeping.I pick up my laptop, shut it down, and quietly place it on the bedside table before covering myself up again.
Betrothed To The Don CHAPTER 24: LUCIA
After two weeks, Ivan's gun wound has healed enough that he can now go about without the bandage. Despite the pain, he's been going to work wearing his usual suit attire except he wears it without the jacket so there can be enough room. Sometimes, he switches it up, wearing jeans and a polo instead. Now that the bandage is off, he's back to wearing his suits which I honestly can't complain about. This morning, he dropped me off at a cafe since I didn't want to be at home. I've come to realize that the change of scenery helps a lot when I have a writers block.I've been here for five hours now and so far I've written a very impressive number of words. Since I couldn't get past writing the sex scene for my romance novel, I dumped the incomplete manuscript and started a new thriller novel today. I look at my wrist watch to check the time which says quarter to one, and look behind me to where Pavel and James are seated on high alert, throwing death stares to anyone who looks in my dire
Betrothed To The Don CHAPTER 25: IVAN
It took everything in me to restrain myself from devouring Lucia as soon as I saw her wearing the dress I got for her. She looked stunning, and apparently, I wasn't the only one who thought so. I caught a few lingering eyes on her at the event, and if not for the time and place, I would've plucked out every pair of eyes that looked her way this evening. Immediately we got back, I changed into my swimwear and came down to the pool to let out some steam. That's my one form of relieving stress, but in this case, I'm letting out the tension I feel from holding back when it comes to Lucia. Plus, it doesn't help that we lay on the same bed. I fucking applaude my self control.She's my wife by law and I have every right to claim her but despite how tempting that is, I want her to want me as much as I do. I don't know how long I can last though. I've just completed a second lap when I feel my neck tingle from being watched. It's not a bad sort of tingle though and I Instantly know it's Luc
Betrothed To The Don CHAPTER 26: LUCIA
I watch as confusion slithers his expression for a moment. I wasn't planning on telling him, but then I've heard the pain of losing your virginity isn't exactly a good feeling. He stares at me for seconds, which brings me instant regret because I just might have ruined the moment.Silly silly me. I slap myself internally.Then the realization of my confession suddenly hits him, and his eyes grow a shade darker than I've ever seen.“Fuck, baby.” He growls. “Thank fuck you spoke on time.” And just like that, the moment is back. He captures my mouth again in a searing kiss while positioning his cock at my entrance. He begins to lower himself slowly as he stares into my eyes. I gasp when he breaks through and inhale when he's all the way to the hilt. God I feel so full. “Are you okay?”“Yes baby, move please.” I whimper, aching so much for him but he doesn't move right away, instead he remains unmoving for a minute, giving me time to adjust. Then he pulls back an inch and comes back
Betrothed To The Don CHAPTER 27: LUCIA
When I turn on the bed at dawn, I find Ivan's side empty. I assume he's using the toilet, so I go back to bed. I'm properly up by 8:35 a.m., and Ivan is nowhere to be found. Even at his home office. Aliya confirmed that he left very early this morning for work. I wouldn't have been surprised if not that it's Sunday today. He's always home on Sundays. I go to shower and have breakfast so I can resume my writing. When my laptop is in front of me, Ideas are flowing and I should be more than excited about that since it's the romance manuscript I abandoned when I couldn't figure out the sex scene but I just can't concentrate.Firstly, my mind wanders off to last night, which was undoubtedly an amazing one for me. I had sex for the first time and even enjoyed it, though I still feel sore. When Ivan walked in on me touching myself, that had to be the most embarrassing thing I have ever felt in a long time. I didn't think he would react the way he did, which made me feel relieved knowing he
Betrothed To The Don CHAPTER 28: IVAN
“There's no sign of life, Pakhan.” Alex says as he limps into one of the rooms of the underground tunnel that I and more than a dozen of my men are holed up in. There are a few bodies sprawled at every nook and cranny of the room.“Doc, see Alex's wound next.” I motion with my head in Alex's direction, signalling that he takes a seat. Pavel is currently getting a stitch on his inner thigh.“Where's Lev?” I ask Nikolai, who is standing beside me. He lifts his chin at the entrance, and I look up to see Lev walking inside, a blunt in between his lips. He looks like shit. Fuck, we all do.After what I would consider the best and most peaceful night I've had in a long long time, I was woken up with a call that the Terka Syndicate had breached one of my major warehouses in New york. They obviously didn't take my rejection - to not use my border route - lightly.I have a total of twenty-five warehouses scattered all over the state and a few more outside the state; three of which are fully e
