With Angela’s arms around me, and Violet finally giving me the forgiveness I need, life feels good.
For a month or two now, I’ve been sensing this strange sensation. It’s a feeling that isn’t quite happiness, and certainly not joy. It’s calmer, more permanent, and it sinks into me soul deep in this moment.
I realize with a jolt, it’s contentment. Something I never thought I’d get to find after what happened to me.
Whilst Angela is the reason for my newfound serenity, Andrius is the one who ultimately gave it to me. If he hadn’t rescued me from that hellhole, then I’d never have been free to find Angela. For the longest time, he was my security blanket, but in the end, I had to find my own way. Meeting Angela and starting to run my own business have both made me see that I can’t spend my life living in Andrius’ pocket, in order to feel safe. Now, I feel safe on my own. No one will touch me as I have his protection, but I’ve also made a place for myself in the world where I’m not a dirt-poor farm girl living in the Wild West of post-Soviet Russia. I’m a businesswoman living in England, and I have friends now, people I do business with, people in the community who know me. After the longest time, I’ve made a real life for myself.
Andrius will always be special to me.
I love him with all my heart.
Ours is not a love story, but it is a story about love, and he’ll always matter to me.
And now, so will Violet, and their baby when it arrives.
I snuggle deeper into my lover’s arms and rest my head on her full breasts, taking in a deep, contented breath.
Finally, I’ve stopped running.
THE END.
THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for reading. I just wanted to say a bit about this story and why I wrote it. When I wrote Justina in The Gift, I had her whole character and backstory in my head, and I also knew she’d find her own happiness and how it would happen for her.
But that’s not what made me write this; instead, it was the need to show her thought processes and her side of things in the way she reacted to events, and to Violet.
At times, Justina could be cold, almost hard, and at others seem as if she was all about the fun, but deep down it was all of it a protective mechanism to try to keep herself somehow feeling safe. The only thing that mattered to her. Her whole life was lived only wanting to feel safe.
Happiness didn’t even come into it for her, not until she met Angela and also stepped out of Andrius’ shadow. She will always love him, but to be able to grow and move on, she had to find life on her own terms, and that’s what I wanted to show here.
I hope you enjoyed her story, and keep your eyes peeled because coming up soon, is Damen. And boy, if you thought Andrius was alpha, then you ain’t seen nothing yet!
Sneak Peek of Damen’s story – this is TOTALLY unedited. All mistakes mine!
SNEAK PEEK-THE CONTRACT
Damen
I stare at the monitor where only moments before, Maya was putting on the most titillating display I’ve seen in years.
I still can’t believe what she’s done. Putting on a porn show for the security monitors. The filthy little minx.
If I hadn’t swapped shifts with Alesso as he needed the afternoon to run errands, I’d have missed this. Although, now I’m finishing up the afternoon shift with a raging hard on.
Maya is hot. She’s annoying, spoiled, and stuck up, but my God, she’s hot.
I’m as angry as I’m turned on, because the little show I’ve just witnessed wasn’t meant for me. Not at all.
She thought Alesso was watching her.
How fucking long has she been doing this for him? And why hasn’t he said anything?
Alesso is in love, from afar, with a nice sweet girl from his local village. Guy is crazy about her, and there’s no way he’s going to be wanting anything serious with our spoiled little charge, but he must get off on it. Right? No one could see this one-woman porn show, and not be hard as nails.
Christ, her pussy! All wet and slicked up. She’s hot as hell…for him.
Not me.
Story of my fucking life.
I’m hardly a slouch in the looks department, but when your best friend looks like Alesso, you get used to taking something of a back seat.
Alesso gets women panting after him everywhere we go. Me? I don’t do badly, but I don’t get the longing looks, and never-ending attempts to start a conversation Alesso has to put up with on a regular basis. He might as well be a movie star the way women react to him.
Normally, it doesn’t bother me. I don’t screw around. I’m not into that. Not that I need a marriage proposal or anything, but someone has to interest me before I go there.
Maya interests me.
I had an inkling there was more to her than the spoiled princess act, but I didn’t guess the more would be this.
It’s fucking kinky is what it is. Putting on a show for a guy who can’t do anything about it…unless he has.
The thought has sharp, hot jealousy sizzling like acid in my gut. Not a feeling I’m used to.
I stare back at the monitor and scratch the scruff on my jaw. Part of me wants to go to her room right now, and make her follow through on her tease. I won’t though because it would mean all hell would break loose, and I don’t force women. I don’t need to.
Usually, by the time we’re horizontal, I have them begging for it.
Would Maya beg me? Would she get on her knees for me? The woman has always looked at me with a weird mix of fear and disdain. That’s one hell of a load of cognitive dissonance going on in one person right there.
She had already been on my radar because of her strange reaction to me, and her smoking body, but now….now she’s truly on my radar.
I want her.
The realization hits me in the chest, hot and fiery. For the first time in a very long time, I want a woman with a burning to take my breath away.
Maya just got herself another stalker, only this time she’ll have no idea she’s my prey until it’s far too late.
I’m the man paid to protect her, but what if the very person she needs protecting from is me?
Who will save her then?
Due out toward the end of May/beginning of June.
