Why does it have to be him? Of all the men on this planet, why do I have to be entangled with the most monstrous of all?
Why can’t he be normal?
Probably because you’re not normal yourself, Sasha.
“You hate it, don’t you?” He darts out his tongue and licks the tip of my nose, then my upper lip. “You hate how much you want me and that you can’t stop it. You hate that your body submits to me despite your best efforts. It’s why you’ve been pushing me away all this time, isn’t it? You tried to avoid giving in to this carnal desire, but here’s the thing. You can never run away from me, wife.”
“S-shut up,” I moan the words. Damn it.
“I’ve been patient, Sasha, and you know patience isn’t exactly my strongest trait. I’m ready to be as patient as you want if it means you’ll come back to me, but I will not be hearing that you’re leaving me ever again.”
His thrusts turn wilder and deeper, until my whole body is battered and pliant. Until every inch of me bleeds out right in front of him.
It’s only physical., I force my mind to think as I come with a wordless scream. Then I drop my head on his shoulder and bite the space between his neck and collarbone.
I don’t care that it’s covered with dry blood. In fact, I bite harder, just to make sure he’s here with me and not out there somewhere injured.
It’s only fucking physical. It can’t be any more than that.
Kirill goes faster with savage energy. My ass cheeks hit the railing with every thrust.
I continue biting him, inflicting as much pain as possible. He groans, then bites my throat, too.
And just like that, he comes deep inside me. He pulls out and releases my thigh only so he can sloppily massage my clit with his cum before he thrusts it back into my pussy.
I don’t know why the fact that he always does that makes me so hot and bothered within a few seconds. It’s like he doesn’t want a single drop to escape and makes me take it all.
We remain like that for a few minutes. I’m catching my breath while he’s sucking and nibbling on my throat. There’s definitely going to be a dark hickey there tomorrow.
As I lay my head on his shoulder, the pleasure haze slowly clears, and bleak reality punches me in the face.
There’s no denying it now.
I’m relapsing to old habits.

KIRILL
Sasha has pulled away from me.
She used the pretense of needing a shower, and since I had to call Viktor, I let her go.
For now.
After washing up in the downstairs shower, I wrap a towel around my waist and dry my hair with another one.
With the phone at my ear, I walk into the living room.
“You need anything, Boss?” Viktor replies with a half-sleepy tone.
I forgot that it was early in the morning. And while Viktor needs the sleep after months of being deprived, there isn’t time for it.
“We were attacked tonight.”
There’s silence on the other end, followed by a fumbling noise. Something knocks on his end as he says in a sobered-up voice, “I’ll be there in a few.”
“No.”
“What the fuck do you mean by no? I told you it was a stupid idea to be on your own without any protection.”
“Is this the moment where you say I told you so?”
“I’m not in the mood for joking. I should’ve stayed.” I hear the rustle of clothes and the sound of a belt.
“Stop changing. You’re not coming, and if you do, I’m going to lock you the hell up with Maksim and Anton. You hated the atmosphere there the other time, so maybe you’ll change your mind if you spend a few more days in their company.”
“What am I supposed to do if I don’t come to protect you?”
“Look for who did this.” I throw the hair towel down and stare out of the window at the pitch-black darkness outside. The cabin might appear old and unkempt, but the glass is double-glazed and bulletproof. The walls are thick enough that it’s hard to hear the night animals chirping outside.
“Which is why I should go to the scene to gather evidence,” Viktor says.
“I doubt there’s anything left. They probably cleaned out their corpses by now.”
“Is it the Ivanovs?”
“I thought that as well. It makes sense that they’d come to rescue Anton, but their weapons weren’t of the variety we located at the warehouse during that mission. I doubt they changed weapons since the last operation after Sasha came back. Besides, they attacked her.”
“Or she could be faking it to play along and trap you.”
“That’s my wife you’re talking about, Viktor.”
“She still belongs to the family who is out to eliminate you. I suspected it all this time, but she was the one who lured you to Russia before you got shot, wasn’t she?”
