I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her to my chest. Slamming the door shut, I turned her around and shoved her to the wall. “Let’s see how good you taste” Kissing her lips, I forced my tongue in her mouth and dominated her mouth.
She shoved me away and slapped me. “How dare you! You may be used to getting what you want, but I assure you do that again and I’ll kick your ass.”
“Feisty and full of fire,” I mused running my finger between her breasts. “I’m going to enjoy breaking through those walls of yours.”
She took a step forward and jabbed my chest with her finger. “Don’t ever touch me again.”
Cocking my head to the side, I smirked as I wrapped my fingers around hers. “Don’t lie, you enjoyed that. You kissed me back.”
I opened my eyes to see Luka looking at me with furrowed eyebrows. “You good?”
“I’m fine, just got a lot on my brain.” All my thoughts were nothing but dirty things I wanted to do with her.
“I better get back, Markus is with Anna. Just wanted to come touch base and see where we were.” He grabbed his phone rising up.
“Make sure you remember my warning.” I reminded him.
“I said I fucking got it.” He growled.
I knew Luka felt something for Anna but warned him to stay away. He was no better man than me and I didn’t want that for Anna. She deserved better than him. To be happy with someone who wasn’t a corrupted soul. I might be a hypocrite for saying this, but it was true. With all the pain and suffering my sister has gone through, she needed some peace in her life. Taking down my father wasn’t just about Lydia, it was for Anna too.
I stepped in my hotel room and took off my jacket. I was so fucking tired and needed to sleep, but that didn’t happen. I brought my hand to my chest and whispered. “Please God, let this plan go through without any tragedy. I know it’s a lot to ask but help a man out here. I need to rid this world of my father, so everyone can live in peace.”
I unbuttoned my shirt and stripped out of it as I kicked my shoes off. Falling back on the bed, I closed my eyes to try to relax. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t. The only way I would get some rest was in the arms of my woman. I couldn’t go to her in fear that my father would follow me and figure out my true intentions. He wouldn’t hesitate to put his hands on her and hurt her. Maybe even kill her. He was a stone cold killer and a rapist at that.
Give me the strength to make him suffer.
I’m not going to kill him at first.
No.
He needs to feel pain just as the two women in my life have.
Beg me to kill him.
No.
Not yet.
I want to see tears shed from him right before I put a bullet through his skull.
I sighed and rolled over on my side picking up my phone. “Just know that I love you. When this is all over, I’m going to fuck you morning, day, and night. I just wanted to tell you goodnight and that I love you, kotenok.”
Letting Lydia go was never an option.
She. Was. Mine.
Chapter 22
Lydia
Vladimir’s question made me wonder if there was any truth to it. There was always the possibility I could be pregnant with Nikolai’s child. He was already protective of me. If I was carrying his baby, he would never let me out of his sight. Probably never allow me to leave his room.
Would he even want to be a father?
Would he be angry with me?
The million dollar question that lingered in my head…
Would I be a good mother to my son or daughter?
I needed to figure a way to get a test without raising suspicion. I knew Vladimir was out of the question. He was too loyal to Nikolai to keep something like this from him. He was under his command and couldn’t lie to his boss. Maybe I could get a hold of Rose, she could bring me a test. There was no way I could tell Anna, because she would slip up with Luka. Then, he would tell Nik.
No.
Not fucking happening.
I picked up my phone and scrolled down to her number and connected the call. “Lydia?”
“Rose, I need your help.” I whispered.
“Are you in trouble?” If only it was that simple.
“I think I might be pregnant.” Tears rolled down my cheeks and I whispered into the phone.
“Oh sweetheart, give me half an hour and I’ll be over. Don’t worry, it’s going to be just fine.” I ended the call and wiped my tears. Vladimir couldn’t see me like this. He’d know something was wrong and call Nikolai in a heartbeat.
I can do this.
Just dry your tears Lydia and play it cool.
Rose stepped in the door and gave her security detail a single nod. “You can wait out there, unless you want to hear about the menstrual cycle.”
He shook his head at her and paled as she closed the door placing her bag on the table. “You got it?”
“I did.” She opened the bag and reached inside revealing a slender foil packet. “I figured this way would be more discreet.”
“Thank you, I’ll be right back.” My stomach twisted in knots as I opened the test and sat on the toilet. I held it between my legs and peed on it. Placing it on the sink, I cleaned myself and waited.
Thirty seconds pass.
One minute.
Two more minutes pass and the pink line starts to appear.
One line.
Another line appears next to it.
Two lines.
I was pregnant.
I quickly placed the test back in the packet and wrapped it in toilet paper. My heart was beating so hard out of my chest as I opened the door. I looked up to Rose with a panicked expression. “It’s positive. Please, you can’t tell anyone. I-I’ll tell him when I’m ready. I just need more time.”
Rose thrusts her hand out and plucked the test from my fingers. Placing it in her bag, she gives me a small smile. “I’ll hold onto that. I’m already pregnant anyways.”
She hugged me placing a kiss on my cheek. “I’m so fucked now, aren’t I? I’ve already got Connor looking for me. Now that I’m carrying Nikolai’s baby, it complicates things. That makes me a huge target.”
“Shhh, it will work out. Just take it easy and try not to stress too much over it. It’s not good for the baby.”
“You’re right, I think I’m going to lie down and take a nap. Again, thank you for coming.”
“I’m dying without you in my arms.” Nikolai huskily whispers in my ear.
“Nik,” I moaned as he traced circles around my clit. “I want you.”
“Fuck, Lydia.” I felt the tip at my entrance and thrust inside me.
It thrilled me.
Electrified my body.
A feverish need for him to touch me.
“Please, touch me.” A gasp escaped my lips as his breath fanned my neck.
“Does my kotenok need me?” He gripped my hair in his fist and yanked my head back.
“Yes, I need you. Want you.” I hissed.
“You know just how to squeeze my cock, don’t you?” He thrust deeper and kissed me.
My body was hot.
On fucking fire.
Out of control.
I gasped and shot up in bed frowning in disappointment. It wasn’t real. It was all a dream. Running my hand over my belly, I whispered. “I just hope your daddy will accept you, little one.”
I knew one thing for sure.
I would try to be the best mother I could be.
Father or not.
Nausea overwhelmed me as I sat up causing me to bolt for the bathroom. I leaned over the toilet and emptied my stomach. Vladimir bolted in the room with his gun out but frowned when he heard me gagging.
“Lydia, let me call Nikolai.” He said reaching in his pocket.
“No…I mean I’m fine.” I took the mouthwash rinsing my mouth out.
“I have to call him. He wouldn’t like this.” He shook his head scrolling through his phone.
>
“Please,” I begged. “Don’t call him.”
If he called Nikolai, he would see straight through my lie.
“Boss, there’s a problem. You need to come as quickly as you can.”
Bastard.
I was completely fucked.
Nikolai rushed in the door fifteen minutes later with a cold expression towards Vladimir. “What the hell? You called and said there was a problem. What. The. Fuck. Vladimir?!”
“Lydia is sick…she was throwing up.” He stood at the door about to walk out.
“Go call Fiona.” He commanded glancing in my direction. He cold stare softened as he reached for my face. He cupped my chin and loomed over me. “What’s wrong?”
“I told him not to call you. It’s only a stomach bug.” I argued.
“What’s really going on Lydia? Vladimir said Rose came by earlier and then a few hours later this happens.” He growled in frustration.
“I’m sorry, I never meant for this to happen.” Tears brimmed my eyes.
“Lydia, you’re making no sense. Apologizing for getting sick.” I looked down to my hands and closed my eyes.
“I’m p-pregnant with your baby.” I opened my eyes just as Fiona stepped in and gasped.
“Pregnant with my what?!” He exclaimed.
“I’ve got a bun in the oven. I’m fucking pregnant and I’m sorry!” More tears streamed down my face.
“Fuck me, are you serious?! This war I’m fighting just got fucking real. It’s not only you I’m protecting, I’m protecting my family. My child.”
His family.
His child.
He picked me up and pecked my lips. “You’re not mad?”
This man was confusing as hell.
Nikolai Vasiliev
The boss.
He was going to be a father.
“No kotenok, this is the best news I’ve heard for weeks. Now you’re officially mine.” He carried me to the bed and laid me on my back.
Now you’re officially mine.
His confession rang through my head over and over.
He wanted me.
Only me.
Chapter 23
Nikolai
Temptation was a terrible thing. It’s like when you see a flame burning. You know you shouldn’t touch it but can’t fight the urge to feel the heat against your flesh.
That’s exactly how I felt about Lydia.
From the first moment I saw her in my sister’s room, I knew one thing.
She. Was. Mine.
Kissing her knuckle, I let my lips linger longer than intended. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Nikolai.”
She scoffed and rolled her eyes. “I know who you are and I’m not going to bow down to you. Goodbye now.”
I smirked to myself as I walked out and closed the door. Lydia was exactly how I liked my women. Feisty and full of fire. She was already mine, just didn’t know it yet. She may not bow to me, but soon I would have her down on her knees worshipping my cock. I ran a hand over my face and groaned as I glanced down at my throbbing erection. It strained painfully against my zipper the more I thought about her. I needed to get rid of this before anybody sees me like this. I’d never hear the end of it from Luka.
I walked in my room and stripped off my shirt throwing it in the basket. Planting myself on the bed, I closed my eyes and all I could see was her.
Those damned hazel eyes.
How it turned me on when she bit her lip.
Now that she’s pregnant with my child, she was mine completely.
All of her.
And the baby growing inside her.
Luka smirked as he raised an eyebrow. “So, should we start calling you Daddy Boss Nikolai?”
“The only one that will be allowed to call me that is Lydia.” I glared.
“Keep your voice down, I haven’t had the chance to tell Anna. You’re not going to tell her either. Lydia isn’t ready for anyone to know.” I warned.
“What baby?” He grinned.
“Exactly, it’s going down tonight. Giovanni’s girls are ready to play their part. I’m counting on you to keep my sister safe. Vladimir is bringing Lydia and Giovanni is having someone bring his daughter and Rose. I better go before my father and Connor get suspicious.”
I told my father I was going to get my fix and I did. I got my dose of Lydia to get me through the day. She was becoming a necessity to get through the day. Just like I needed air in my lungs to breathe.
My kotenok.
Feisty kitten.
I stepped outside just as Vladimir pulled up. He opened the door for her and helped her out taking her bag from her. I inwardly smiled at her when I let my eyes drop to her stomach. She was pregnant, and the child was mine. Had you asked me before I met her if I wanted children, I would’ve said hell no.
But that was different then.
I wasn’t the same man as I am today.
I cupped her face and looked deep in her eyes with a heated gaze. “When this is all over, I want to take you out on a date. A real one.”
“What if something happens?” She whispered.
“I’m coming back. Kotenok, I promise you nothing will happen to me.” I kissed her lips and pressed my forehead against the top of her head.
“Promise?” She asked.
“Yes,” I assured her not wanting to upset her. “I’m not leaving you. Not ever.”
I hated to leave her, but this bullshit had gone on long enough. Giovanni and I had to take out the threats to our women. Yes, you heard me right.
Our women.
My kotenok.
I scanned club and frowned when I spotted Connor. My father said he was going to be here, but I can’t see him anywhere. Did he honestly think he could fuck me over like this? He wasn’t getting away that easily. However, it did give me an advantage. This means I could possibly get Connor alone and get him high enough to knock him out. I would have to be careful though. He was a snake through and through.
“Nikolai, I was wondering where you were? Where’s Mikhail?” He drawled out slurring.
“Why don’t we take this party to the back? I’m in a partying mood. My father will be with us shortly.” I suggested.
“Come on girls, you heard the man.” Giovanni’s girls linked their arms with his and grinned. He’s already lit pretty good because if he wasn’t he’d know it wasn’t Lydia and Rose. We stepped in the private room and began too unbuckle his belt. The women glanced to me and seemed to be thinking the same thing I was. My father was MIA and nowhere to be found. The bastard had another thing coming if he thought he could skip out. I stood behind him as the women kept him distracted. I reached in my pocket and grabbed the syringe as quietly as I could. I took it out of the case and carefully put the container back in my jacket. I jabbed the needle in his neck injecting him with the sedative.
“What the fuck?! Fucking bastard.” He leaned on the wall and slowly fell the floor. I smirked knowing I was going to have fun torturing this sick man. I was going to make him suffer just like he did to her.
“I need you and Markus here, Fiona. I need someone to get Connor’s body out of the club before my father knows what I’ve done.” I barked into the phone.
That’s one down.
Well, not quite yet.
I still needed to torture him.
Giovanni stood next to me in his basement as we watched Lucien and Alec tie him to the chair. Giovanni grinned and leaned over to me. “So, should I tell Luca you knocked up his biological daughter, or did you want to.”
“How did you…” I spluttered.
“Know? Come on, you think I’d let Rose go over there without knowing what she was up to. Alec told me everything right after he got back from taking her over there.”
“I’m going to tell him, but Lydia wants to wait. She wanted to tell my sister first.” I explained.
“Ok. He will be waiting for that talk. So, Lydia? That’s a for sure thing.”
“Yes, she’s mine
now.” And forever.
She’d been mine since I kissed her knuckles.
Since I fucked her on my desk.
In my bathroom.
On my bed.
And anywhere else I’d claimed her body.
Chapter 24
Lydia
I couldn’t eat.
I couldn’t sleep.
Not without knowing Nikolai was alive and well.
I feared something bad would happen to him.
And it would be all my fault.
He was doing this for me.
All for me.
I haven’t told a soul about my pregnancy, but the looks Luka was giving me was telling me he knew. I know Nikolai and I said he wanted to tell his sister, but she was my best friend. She was okay with us being together and didn’t appear to be mad at me.
