"Well since I have you here before your former director, I'm gonna share the news now", My hands dropped to my sides as I stared at Luke. I took a step forward and the dark aura that hang over my head followed. Luke quickly noticed it and every muscle in his body tensed up."You fired Luke", It felt so good to say that. "You will never work as a choreography in New York ballet again", I added."What?", Luke breathed out. His eyes fell as he scanned the floor, rolling my words around in his head as the dismay of the situation sank in. It was only for a second before his eyes snapped up and his audacity came out to play."You can't do this to me. Do you know who I am?", He spoke confidently.When I heard his words, a loud bark of laughter flew past my lips and I tossed my head back with mirth. When I looked at him again, he was trembling with anger as his face turned bright red."I know exactly who you are. I'm honestly surprised you haven't recognized me yet. You know who l am or at le
The young hostess with dark hair swept into a tight bun noticed me enter. She took me in from head to toe and didn't miss the cigarette hanging from my lip as I scanned the restaurant."Sir you can't smoke in here", Her tone was polite but I didn't bother looking in her direction."Is Dax here. He is expecting me", He wasn't and I hoped she didn't notice that."Oh", Her olive completion went pale as I said his name. Though now she looked at me differently if at all. She tried to keep her eyes on the floor instead of making direct contact. "He's in the back", She responded."Perfect", Luck was in my favor, it seemed. I didn't want to beat him in a pulp in the middle of his family's shady restaurant. After all that wouldn't look good for the Makalov family. I had just enough good sense left to contemplate what was going to happen and the potential consequences.Anton was waiting in one of the black cars on the street. If his Intel was correct, Dax was here and he was alone. That's what
RHEA'S POV.~I'm not going to save you because of your love for me but because of mine for you~Aleksander loved me. It was a world shattering admission. Every fiber of my being wanted to light up like a Christmas tree or explode like fireworks. There should have been untold joy and comfort that came from hearing him say those words.However the front door slammed in my face and he left. Aleksander was gone. Leaving me cold and shocked, unable to process what just happened. While he might return my feelings, he wasn't here and the viscous rage in his dark eyes had terrified me, even if it wasn't directed at me.That wonderfully amazing man paid off the debt i owed to the hospital. Even hours after he left, I was still stunned he had done that for me. While I was tearing myself apart with worry, there was some slight consolation in knowing he cared.Finding out how much Aleksander had paid to keep me exclusively for three months was another shock. Five million dollars and he acted like
Aleksander Makalov stood in the doorway, a dark figure with nothing more than the hallway light illuminating the outline of his impressive, tall frame. I heard the deep steadying breaths he took and watched his shoulders rise and fall. All I could do was to stand at the foot of the bed, watching him while frozen."Rhea", His deep husky voice caressed my senses and made my heart restart with a hard jump."Ty prostish' mine to, chto ya' sdelal?","What is it , Aleksander?", I lastly asked when I heard him speak Russian. "Where have you been?, What has happened?", I finally took a step in his direction.He stepped into the room and flicked on the light on the dresser. The dim light lit up his face and i gasped when I checked him out. Dark circles were stressing his brown eyes and he looked positively haggard. Roughy but still fuming with each quick breath he took.Aleksander's dominating presence consumed the bedroom as he took another step towards me. The closer he got, the warmer I go
The dried crimson blood on his knuckles was jarring. I inwardly knew it, that it wasn't his blood. Somewhere deep in my blood, I knew I should be afraid of Aleksander. I should be afraid of him and what he had done, whatever it was. Yet I couldn't find that fear.All my focus went to the sensations of Aleksander plowing into me. The sound of our skin slapping together and the heat of his body crushing me down. His mouth fell on my shoulder and I felt him biting into my skin. Shivers danced through me with the heady concoction of pleasure.Aleksander thrusted into me so hard, over and over. It felt as if he would split me in half from the force of it. His movement was desperate and wild. One hand curled over mine and the other on my hip to keep me in place.I screamed into the bed when he used a knee to push my legs further apart. This pushed him deeper inside of me and I felt his cock ramming into my cervix. It was hard and fast but I didn't want it to end. Despite the blood on his h
RHEA'S POV."Stay here with me. Don't leave Rhea", A month later, when it was past the time for our contract to end , Aleksander asked me to stay with him. To permanently move into his home and out of my studio apartment across the city. I couldn't say no, not to him.Aleksander and i didn't talk about what happened that day he momentarily disappeared. Although I didn't know what became of Dax. I heard rumours from the other dancers that there had been an incident at the theater when Luke was fired. I didn't bother asking because all that mattered to me was that all those vile men were out of my life.No one knew the full story and i think it was better that way. Especially with the new sense of relief that could be felt in the other dancers at practice. All the contracts were over now and our new unnamed owner immediately implemented salary raises and the end of the year bonus.Aleksander didn't say anything about it but I thought I knew who it was. Aleksander was probably the owner
RHEA'S POV."I did what I had to do", I heard Aleksander speak , his words were as sharp as a knife and made me freeze more in the place I was hiding in."For her?, You seriously think she is worthy the trouble we will be in if Dax's family retaliates", Nikolai's words made me to cover my mouth to hide a gasp. Aleksander growled back and I could feel the growing tension in the foyer."She is worth everything. Let them come if they want to. I will do the same to them", He seethed through his teeth. Claws of dread wrapped around my throat and i couldn't breathe."You being foolish , Aleksander. All of this potential war with the Genoseve family, just so you own the Prima ballerina of New York? Is your sense of entitlement and your over grown ego bigger than your head?", Nikolai's voice rose over a whisper, growing almost into a shout.I didn't understand what he was saying. Nevertheless my heart was beating painfully in my chest and my limbs were cold. Nikolai could be harsh but his wor
"It is very easy to love you. I wish you would stop believing that you don't deserve it", I whispered softly to Aleksander to avoid disturbing others. He pulled his face away staring so deeply into my eyes. I thought he stopped breathing as our eyes locked."I love you Rhea, i would do anything", The sudden tenacity in his tone and the spark in my eyes caught me by surprise. Raising my hand, I placed my palm on his cheek. He leaned into my touch, eager for it. "You have already done everything for me, Aleksander", I murmured. He has done more than that."Just keep loving as much as I love you and we will be alright","I can do that", He nodded his head. Without warning, he pulled away and looked at his aunt. Clearing this throat loudly, Aleksander got everyone's attention."Tetya, I think there is a thing that got missed. Can you check the lower branches of the Christmas tree. I thought I saw something down there",Annika stepped gracefully between Ricky and Devin to get to the lumino
