Cherry collapsed just inside the door, and the chef turned and slammed it shut, throwing the lock.
“There’s a panic room!” the chef said. She had a thick Russian accent, much like David had when he wasn’t pretending not to. She pointed with a bony finger toward the closet, and Cherry forced herself to her feet, her legs shaking and quivering like gelatin. She followed the chef to the closet, and they stepped inside.
The older woman shoved clothes off the rack and moved to the back wall of the closet. She pressed in a certain spot and a door swung inward. She went into the dark depths, and Cherry followed her. The chef shut the door and then lights popped on. The panic room was small, made of concrete and steel. The door locked audibly, and a computer screen in the wall glowed to life. The screen cycled through shots of the apartment. Cherry hadn’t even noticed cameras anywhere.
The view of the living room was distressing. The two guards David employed were both dead, along with the first man who had come through the door. The two other men were in David’s bedroom, looking for the two women.
“They can’t get in here, can they?” Cherry asked when the shot moved on to the living room once more.
“No,” the chef said, shaking her head. The light was dim, but Cherry could see tears snaking down the older woman’s cheeks. Cherry was then surprised to realize she was crying too. Her heart was pounding. Nothing had ever scared her so badly. She wanted David.
The men found the panic room eventually, but they couldn’t get in. There was a small keyboard built into the wall in the room, and Cherry tapped buttons until she got the view of the bedroom to stick on the screen. They could just see the men, in the closet, hammering on the wall. Cherry was surprised she couldn’t hear it in the room. The walls really must have been thick.
Cherry screamed and slapped a hand over her mouth when one of the men was suddenly shot. David stepped into frame, flanked by three other men, each with guns drawn. The other bad guy turned, but David put him down as well. The chef reached past Cherry and opened the door.
David rushed forward and took Cherry into his arms. She was crying even more than she had been before. David held her.
“I’m so sorry,” he said.
Cherry couldn’t answer. She just cried.

David and Cherry were on his private plane, headed for a small island off the coast of Greece. David had many homes, but this was one no one knew about. Or at least, they shouldn’t.
It was the morning after he had gone to get things cleared up, and now they were practically in exile. He had underestimated Nathan. He had thought the man to be a small-time poser, but somehow the little shit had pulled many to his cause. He was making a play for it all: drugs, sex slaves, guns. He had his little fingers in every pie, and it had worked. David had gone from the top to the bottom. He had people loyal to him, of course, but Nathan had usurped almost all of the criminal power in Chicago. David didn’t know what he was going to do, but he knew he had to do something.
First, though, he had to get Cherry to safety. She had become a pawn in all of this. Nathan had made his move—it had worked—but he still wanted Cherry dead. Now it was to teach David a lesson, so he knew not to fuck with Nathan. David wouldn’t let that happen.
His manor on the small Greek island was large and airy, with open windows where the breeze made the curtains billow. They landed on the mainland and took a cab to the ferry, which took them to the home.
Cherry hadn’t been able to go to her apartment to grab any of her clothes, so David had called ahead and had the maid do some shopping. He showed Cherry to a bedroom, where all the clothes had been laid out. The poor woman was scared, but she indulged David and put on an impromptu fashion show. She had him sit on the end of the bed and then disappeared behind a privacy screen in the corner. Each time she came out in a different outfit, David oohed and aahed.
The last outfit was a bathing suit, a black bikini that left nothing to the imagination. Cherry smiled upon seeing David’s hard cock pressing against the fly of his shorts.
“Like what you see?” she asked, and David nodded. “Follow me then,” she said, and she turned and left the room, swinging her ass as she walked. David was on his feet and following her without needing to be told twice.
She went downstairs and then outside. There was a pool there, the water heated and clear, with a blue tint. She stepped into the pool and then went under. David paused by the edge and pulled his shirt, shorts, and underwear off before lowering himself into the water. He waded out to the center of the pool, where Cherry had gone under and still hadn’t surfaced.
He felt her hands on his hips, could see her nude form under the water just as the black bikini bobbed to the surface. She took him into her mouth, still under the water, wrapping her arms around his waist and squeezing his ass.
When she pulled away and surfaced, David grabbed her, lifting her up so he could kiss her. She wrapped her legs around his waist, and he angled his hips forward, his massive, rock-hard cock pushing into her tight pussy.
David held her, supporting her body as she rocked back and forth on his cock. He stepped forward, over to the edge of the pool so her back would be braced against it. She leaned back, her arms on the edge of the pool, and he leaned forward, taking a nipple into his mouth, sucking on it as it hardened against his tongue. Cherry laced her fingers through his hair, her hips bucking against his pelvis so quickly that she was churning the water around them.
Her orgasm caught her by surprise, and she called out in a long moan under the azure blue sky, her nails trailing painful lines down David’s bare back.
“Come for me,” he said in his Russian accent.
“I am,” she groaned as another wave of pleasure overtook her. David thrust forward as she finished, burying his cock deep inside her.
“I want to swallow your cum,” Cherry purred, and David was happy to oblige. He pulled out of her, and she set her feet down on the bottom of the pool while he lifted himself up and onto the edge, his calves and feet still in the water.
Cherry situated herself between his knees, his massive cock red and throbbing before her body. She cupped her breasts on either side and moved forward so his rigid member would slip between her tits. She bent her head to suck on the tip of his cock while she used her hands to lift her tits and lower them, the sensation of her slick breasts heavenly on his sensitive dick.
Cherry fucked David with her tits while sucking his tip until she knew he was about to come, and then she moved her breasts and lowered her mouth fully over his shaft, her lips pressing against his ball sack, the head of his cock dangling down her throat. She gagged herself but didn’t stop, pulling up so that only his tip remained inside her wet mouth until she slid down again, once more taking him in her throat. She moved quickly, not wanting to be sweet and caring, instead wanting him to absolutely fuck her mouth, until finally he grunted and put his hand on the back of her head, holding her in place, choking her as his cock jumped in her mouth and he blew his hot load down her throat.
She gasped when she pulled away, and then she started to laugh as some of his pearly white cum slid out past her lips. She slid her finger along her chin, gathering the spunk, and ate it once more.
David left the next day. They made love that night, in the bed, the windows open, the soft breeze rolling over their naked bodies. He was gone before she woke. It was just her and the maid in the large house, and Cherry found herself growing sad as each day passed and the man didn’t return.
Weeks passed before he came back. When he did, he was in a bad mood. He fucked her for five nights, hard and fast, filling her with his seed or forcing his cock into her mouth before he blew, even painting her tits and chin with it. She came too, of course, but he didn’t seem to care. She knew he was stressed, was in danger of losing it all. Then he left again, back to America. Back to regain control.
Cherry was pregnant. She found out three days after he left again. She had missed her period and
had sent the maid to the mainland for a test. She took it and sent the woman for another. She took that one too, and it had the same reading. She was with child.
When David came back two weeks later, she told him as soon as she saw him. Anger flashed in his eyes. She had thought he would be excited. She had realized she loved the man, had fallen for him despite who he was, despite what he did. But when she saw that anger, she didn’t know.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” David asked, his accent thick. He hadn’t tried to sound American since they had left Chicago.
“No,” Cherry said. “I’m sorry, okay?”
“I thought you were on the pill,” David demanded.
“I am.”
“What the fuck happened?”
“It can happen!” Cherry said. “Stop being angry.”
“Everything I have is gone! I’m fighting for it all, trying to hold on with my fingertips,” David snarled. “Don’t you understand that?”
“Fuck you,” Cherry said, and that was the end of the conversation. She went to bed alone that night. She woke up alone, before the sun was even out. She got out of bed and went down to the kitchen. Standing at the sink, she filled a glass with water and drank it. In the backyard was a small hut. The maid, a Greek woman in her thirties named Beth, which of course was short for something more exotic sounding, lived there. The light was on. Cherry could see through the window. There, bent over a kitchen table, was Beth, nude. David stood behind her, plowing her with his large cock. Tears swam in Cherry’s eyes, and she ran back upstairs.
She packed what she could, finding a small bag in the back of the closet. She hurried out the front door. The ferry wouldn't come by until later that morning, but there was a small row boat tied to the dock. She got in and set out for the mainland.
It took her hours, but she made it. The sun was beginning to rise over the horizon. She had taken money too, and she bought a room in the city. It was small and lonely, and she sat on the end of the bed and wondered what she was going to do next.
Her cell phone rang. It was David, and she didn’t answer.
Days passed, and he called and called. She didn’t answer or listen to the messages he left. He texted her, but she didn’t read those either.
One day Cherry was getting lunch at a small shop near the hotel when a man took her by the arm.
“You’re a hard woman to find,” the man snarled as she turned. He jabbed a gun into her ribs. “Don’t try anything,” the man said. He was American, and Cherry hadn’t heard anyone with that accent in days.
She nodded to show she understood and let the man lead her out of the shop. A car was waiting nearby, and he pushed her into the backseat. Nathan was there.
“Cherry, holy fuck, I had to come to Greece to get you,” Nathan said as the other man got behind the wheel and started driving.
“What do you want from me?” she asked.
“Where is David?”
So they didn’t know where he lived. They just had found out he had a home in Greece.
“If I tell you, will you let me go?” Cherry asked.
Nathan grinned and nodded. “This has grown beyond you,” he said. “You have my word. I’m over that earlier stuff. So you saw what I was planning. To be honest, you made me jump forward on my time table, and everything has worked out. I’ll even give you your old job back.”
Cherry considered it all. She didn’t know if Nathan was telling the truth, of course, but she didn’t care what happened to David, not after what she had seen.
“I’ll take you there,” she said finally, and Nathan grinned.

David was worried. He had been for days. He didn’t know where Cherry had gone. He had been rough on her—he knew that—but wasn’t she taking things too far? He would apologize; he would win her back. He had too. He loved her, and he wanted to be a father.
The bell rang. Beth had the day off, so she wouldn’t be getting the door. David went and pulled it open.
“Cherry,” he said, seeing her first, and then it dawned on him who she was with. “Nathan,” David growled, reaching for the gun he always kept on him, but Nathan already had his drawn.
“Mind if we come in?” Nathan asked sardonically, and David stepped back. Only one other man was with Nathan, but David had no way of telling if there were others out of sight.
“Where have you been?” David asked Cherry.
“I saw you two,” Cherry spat. “You and Beth. You fucked her!”
“I didn’t!” David said, and then it all dawned on him. He knew what she had seen. He could explain it to her, but he had bigger fish to fry at the moment.
“You did!” Cherry said, her voice full of hurt.
“Enough,” Nathan said. “I should have just killed you both right away, but I wanted you to know it was me.”
“You little shit,” David said. Nathan laughed and lifted his gun, aiming it at Cherry.
“You said!” Cherry said, her eyes going wide.
“I lied,” Nathan said, and then there was a loud bang.
Nathan crumpled to the ground, his head red and horrible, a bullet having slammed through the back of it.
Cherry turned as another shot rang out. A man in the doorway was stalking forward, limping, a gun raised. He had killed Nathan’s driver.
“Any more?” David asked the man while Cherry tried to take it all in. The man who had saved them looked almost identical to David. Same build, same square jaw, same color hair. It was uncanny.
“Who is this?” Cherry asked, looking to her David. She could see the differences, looking back and forth between the two men, but at a distance they would easily pass for one another.
“His name is Tom,” David said. “I hired him because he looks just like me. Safety precaution. He’s a double and a bodyguard. He was injured back home some months ago; I sent him her to recuperate. He and Beth have hit it off, to say the least.”
Cherry got it then. Tom had been fucking Beth, not David. She felt stupid, and her cheeks burned with embarrassment. David stepped forward and took her hands.
“I’m sorry,” he said. “About before. I’m excited about the baby. I am. I’m excited about you. I have a lot of work to do, and it isn’t pretty work, but I wanted you to know I’m in, if you are.
Cherry looked at David, keeping her eyes off the dead bodies at her feet. She nodded. It was a wild life and a wild world, and she didn’t know what she was getting herself into, but she knew David would always keep her safe. She kissed him.
“I’m in,” she said as she pulled slowly away.

THE END
BWWM Romance - The Russian’s Secret Love Child: Octavia’s Story
“Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen,” said the Russian ambassador to the United States. “I am honored to welcome you to the Russian Embassy this evening.” The ambassador glanced at his most special guests. “I am particularly pleased to be able to welcome you, Mr. President, and your lovely daughter, Octavia.”
The president of the United States, Daniel Wahlberg, nodded in recognition as the ambassador continued. “I am very grateful to you for your support in the initiative our two great countries have embarked upon together. As you all know, terrorism is the number one threat to civilization in modern times. That is why it is so important we have agree on terms to set up the Russian - US Initiative to Prevent Nuclear Terrorism. Now I am sure you don't want to hear me talking all evening, so I would just like to say, I hope you enjoy yourselves this evening.”
The ambassador climbed down from the podium in the Russian Embassy in Washington DC and gratefully accepted a glass of champagne from a waiter.
“Mr. President, as I said in my speech, thank you for attending this evening.”
“Not at all. It is a magnificent initiative that deserves my support. If a terrorist got a hold of one of these weapons, it would be the greatest disaster that has ever befallen us.”
Daniel Wahlberg looked at the ambassad
or. He didn't like or trust him, but the president was an experienced politician who made everyone feel they were his friend. Stanislav Kuklov was a big man, probably six feet two and very broad. He had a round face with a scar down his right cheek. His eyes were particularly noticeable because they were gray, or very faintly blue if one was being polite. Unlike the president, he had a full head of black hair and sun-tanned skin.
“Mr. President, may I introduce you to my son, Slava. He's over here on vacation.”
“It's nice to meet you, Slava,” the president said as he shook the young man's hand.
“The pleasure is mine, sir,” Slava replied.
“Have you met my daughter, Octavia?” he said, looking at his twenty-year-old daughter.
“No, sir, I have not. It is a pleasure to meet you too, Octavia,” Slava said as he lifted Octavia's hand and kissed it.
Octavia laughed at the manner of his greeting; she thought it old-fashioned but extremely quaint. “I can see you are a perfect gentleman,” she replied, referring to the hand kissing.
“Ah, where I am from, that is quite normal.”
“Mr. President, shall we leave these two young people to chat? I would like to talk to you about a matter that has been on my mind for some time.” The president nodded, and Slava and Octavia found themselves standing alone.
“If I may say so, Octavia, you look quite stunning this evening. I have of course seen many photos of you in the press, but in reality you are even more beautiful.”
Octavia looked at him before she replied. He was her age, around twenty, tall and dark, like his father. Unlike his father, Slava was handsome. She took an instant liking to his relaxed manner and blue eyes. When he smiled, it made her want to giggle, like a schoolgirl.
“It's very kind of you to say so. Is it customary in Russia to comment on a lady’s beauty so soon after meeting her?”
“If I have offended you, I apologize. It wasn't my intention to.”
