  Shelly listened to him and kept touching his hand through dinner. When they finally finished, he paid the bill and walked her to her car. They turned it on and she drove back to the hotel.

  Speaking bluntly before they got there she told him what she was hoping for.

  “I want to spend the night with you, especially if I never see you again. I don't know if I want to take the job yet, I still need to think about it, but you're the first man I've met in a long time that I actually like,” Shelly told him.

  Vlad admired her candid nature. “I can live with that, but I hope Shelly, you consider taking the job offer too.”

  “I need to talk with my brothers before I make any decisions. I still live with my youngest brother and I don't want to make any rushed decisions,” she told him.

  Nodding at her, “I can understand that.”

  Shelly pulled into the motel he was staying at, and pulled in front of his room number. He was on the ground floor. He walked over and swiped his card and let the two of them in. He had a bottle of vodka his company made and got out two shot glasses.

  “Would you like to try the vodka my company makes?” he asked her holding up the bottle.

  “Sure,” she told him grinning. “I'm usually not much of a drinker, but I'm already breaking a million other rules right now, so why not. I hope you don't mind but I need to get these heels off. They look great, but hurt something horrible.”

  Vlad nodded and poured an extra tall shot for each of them and handed her the vodka.

  “Do you need a chaser?” he asked her he normally could drink it straight, but found that many people mixed vodka in other liquids, or chased it with juice or soda.

  “I'm good,” she told him and then tipped the vodka into her mouth and shut her eyes for a moment. “It's smooth, there's no real aftertaste. This is good stuff.”

  “We are particular about our vodka. We have some more flavorful kinds but this one is advertised as smooth with no taste. I prefer my vodka simple,” Vlad told her and poured each of them a second shot.

  “Bottoms up!” she told him and drank it quickly.

  Vlad went to fill the glasses one more time but she handed him back the shot glass shaking her head no.

  “I'm good, I'm a light weight and I already had some wine with dinner. I'm feeling it,” she said giggling.

  “I'm going to kiss you now then, Shelly,” Vlad told her, pulling her up against his chest and looking down into her face.

  Shelly nodded at him and watched him with a slightly nervous expression, the only telltale sign of her anticipation of him moving closer to her. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him and dipped his head to take her mouth with his own.

  She sighed and melted against him, her arm coming to wrap around his shoulders and neck and the other hand to touch the side of his face as she met his tongue with her own. Shelly's fingers dug into his shoulder as his other arm came around to start grabbing her perfect round butt and massage it gently with his hands.

  Vlad started speaking to her in Russian as he broke the kiss and started kissing down her cheek to her chin and neck, telling her she was beautiful and he found her an amazing woman.

  Shelly had no idea what he was saying to her, but hearing him talk to her with his accent in his native tongue had her shivering and pushing herself hard against him.

  Unzipping her dress with his other hand that he'd moved up her back he slowly pulled it down and let his fingers trail over her naked skin as he exposed each inch of her brown flesh.

  Shelly started to unbutton his shirt and pushed it up and off his shoulders. She went for his belt and started to unzip it, pulling it out of his pants before unzipping them and pushing them down over his hips.

  Vlad helped her out of her dress until they stood together in just their underwear and both took a good look at each other.

  Shelly's eyes were heavy with arousal and she could see the flush on Vlad's chest from his excitement.

  Vlad pushed her gently backwards until her knees buckled and she fell backwards on the bed. He kneeled between her legs on the ground and pulled her thong until it snapped and ripped off. He threw it across the room as he pressed gentle kisses to her thighs and worked his way to her pussy and spread the lips with his fingers as he delved his tongue deep inside her hole.

  Shelly grabbed the blankets on the bed in her fists as his hot mouth devoured her clit and pussy lips until she was writhing in pleasure against his face. His skilled tongue pushed on her clit until he sent her over the edge into a spiraling orgasm that caused her entire body to shake with the intensity.

  Breathless, she laid on the bed staring at the ceiling for a moment while he pressed gentle kisses to her thighs and then up her body to her mouth. He kissed her passionately, his lips molding over hers to fit perfectly.

  Shelly could taste her own musky scent against his lips and it turned her on. Knowing what he just did, knowing how he just made her feel, and knowing he could do it again.

  Vlad pushed Shelly's legs apart as he kneeled over her. He settled himself between her legs and rubbed his hard cock against her sensitive lips. Reaching down with one hand to spread the lips so he could slip his cock inside, Shelly helped him by relaxing and spreading her legs wider, her hands coming around to grab his back and ass. Then she wrapped her legs around his waist as the tip slipped inside of her.

  She threw her head back moaning as he pushed himself slowly inch by inch inside of her. Once he'd filled her to the hilt he slowly started to move back and forth against her body. Her breasts rubbed against his chest and he nibbled on her neck gently as he rocked their bodies together.

  Vlad spent his time fucking her slowly, not in any big hurry, just making it feel good for the both of them. He kissed her and rubbed her shoulders and arms. Eventually, he reached down and grabbed one of her hips with one hand and squeezed it and pushed her hips into the bed as he picked up the pace and started to fuck her harder.

  Shelly screamed as an orgasm hit her unexpectedly out of the blue, she'd been so relaxed and into what he was doing, she hadn't even noticed it sneaking up on her.

  The clenching muscles of her pussy walls squeezed Vlad's penis until his own release was just seconds behind her. He shuddered as his cum filled her and then rolled over once he could move again and cuddled her in his arms, kissing the right side of her neck and shoulder gently until she fell asleep in his arms.

  Chapter 4: Accepting The Job

  Shelly eventually accepted the job by the time Vlad had to leave. He was thrilled, and also disturbed. He realized that first night they hadn't used protection, though he'd been very careful after that to use a condom for each encounter they'd had since that first night.

  Vlad was on his way home, and he was paying for Shelly's stuff to be moved. He planned on letting her stay at his house in the mother in law apartment above his garage. It was really the size of a large house; his garage could fit over twenty cars.

  A few weeks after Shelly got there, they were getting into a groove. He'd write her handwritten notes on what he needed her to do when he was too busy to talk, she'd pick them up from his desk and get everything done for the day.

  She seemed happy. She would swim in his indoor pool and eat dinner with him every night, the two of them seemed to get along really well, and she was an incredibly hard worker.

  They were still intimate, although lately, he'd felt like she'd been pulling away from him and it bothered him.

  He was falling hard for her, and he wanted to figure out how to propose to her, but the timing never felt right. If he was honest, he was also worried there would be a small chance she'd say no to him.

  She'd dropped comments here and there on his job and how much money he had and being unused to such extravagance. That she was a simple person and didn't need everything money could buy.

  Shelly was so different than any woman he'd ever met and he just wasn't ready to let her go.

  "Sir?" his butler stood
in the doorway with a trash can in his hand and was waiting to be given permission to come in.

  He'd brought Boris over from Russia with him, and Boris served him faithfully.

  “What is going on Boris?” Vlad asked, shutting his laptop and looking up.

  “I think you need to see this,” Boris told him and brought the trash can over and slid it across the desk.

  Inside on top of tissue was a simple pregnancy test. There were two bright pink lines on it and it didn't register right away what it was.

  “We have female staff here; it could be one of theirs,” Vlad replied, confused.

  “The female staff are the ones who brought it to me. They say Shelly took it, and thought we should know because she's been throwing up a lot in the mornings and felt she deserved a break,” Boris said his face totally flat.

  “She's been sick and hadn't told me?” Vlad said feeling shocked. Shelly had always been so honest with him, why wouldn't she tell him about this?

  “Sir, sometimes a woman wants to tell a man in their own way, be patient with her and don't be angry. I know you have strong feelings for her, I can tell, so don't do anything irrational, I know how quick you can be to react when you feel slighted,” Boris said. “If it's yours though, congratulations.”

  “That's assuming she plans on keeping it,” Vlad said bluntly. “Not telling me means she hasn't decided what she wants to do yet.”

  Boris shook his head. “Not true, it could also be that she's concerned she'll be fired, or your reaction. You've mentioned wanting children, but you're also extremely rich and she's intimidated by your wealth. She may also feel that you'd think she tried to trap you, and would be worried about your reaction. There are many reasons why a woman wouldn't want to tell you right away.”

  “Can you go find her for me?” Vlad said, his brain spinning, thinking on how to handle this.

  “If you wish, Sir,” Boris replied, “But my advice is to let things lay low until brings it up.”

  “You know I can't do that Boris,” Vlad said rubbing his chin with his hand.

  “Let's hope it doesn't blow up in your face Sir. Good luck,” Boris said, taking the basket back out with him and going to find Shelly.

  Chapter 5: The Baby

  Shelly walked into Vlad's office with her tablet and was ready to take notes. When she saw his face, she knew this was personal, not business and closed it and walked over to his desk.

  He got up and walked around his desk and pulled her into his arms and kissed her, his hand went to the back of her head and held her firmly in place while his tongue and lips worked their magic to make her melt in his arms.

  Eventually, he pulled back and looked at her. “When were you going to tell me?”

  “Tell you what?” Shelly said looking confused for a minute, still reeling from his kisses her brain hadn't quite caught up yet.

  “About the test,” Vlad told her softly, rubbing her cheek with one of his hands.

  Shelly looked at him funny for a moment. “What test?”

  “The pregnancy test!” Vlad said spelling it out since she didn't seem to know what he was talking about.

  Realization dawned on Shelly and she nervously took a step back and wrapped her arms around her belly protectively, without knowing she did it.

  “I wasn't sure. I still need to see a doctor to confirm,” she said nervously.

  Vlad looked at her for a moment before responding quietly. “I'd like to be there.”

  “You do?” Shelly said sounding shocked.

  Nodding, Vlad took her hand in his trying to reassure her. “I've always wanted children, I've fallen in love with you these past few weeks Shelly, and I'm okay with this, if you are. Please keep me involved.”

  “I don't know if I'm ready to be a mom, I'm only twenty three, I pictured getting my brother through school before I found someone to settle down and have kids with,” she told him looking a little lost. “And, I don't know if I can be the woman you need me to be. I'm from a completely different culture.”

  “I don't care. Skin color doesn't matter to me, where you were born doesn't matter to me. What I care about is the fact that I find you beautiful, kind, intelligent, caring, and you have a work ethic that I admire. You're not scared to work hard and you are willing to stand up to me when you think I could do better or am making a mistake. You are perfect for me Shelly. Nothing else matters to me. I want to see you happy, and I want to spend my life with you.” Until Vlad had spewed all the words, he hadn't realized exactly how much he truly meant them.

  Shelly opened her mouth to say something and then instead, burst into tears.

  Vlad looked panicked for a minute, unsure what to do, he was expecting her to be happy, not cry. Pulling her into his arms, he rubbed her back gently for a few minutes until she stopped sobbing and started sniffling.

  “Are you okay?” Vlad asked her; worried he'd said something wrong.

  “Yes... No... I don't know,” she told him, sounding as confused as he felt.

  Vlad hugged her tighter for a couple more minutes before finally letting her go to talk to her.

  “Marry me. If you don't want a big wedding, we can do something small and intimate, we can elope to Vegas, whatever you want. I had been thinking of asking you before I knew you were even pregnant, but now I insist,” Vlad told her.

  “Let me think about it for a few days, okay?” Shelly told him, wiping her face off with her hands.

  “You never can make decisions without thinking about them, can you?”

  “Not when they are so important and big decisions. I don't believe in divorce Vlad, I have to believe that we'll work out and everything between us is real,” Shelly told him. “My parents had a love that I got to see growing up that I admired. I want that in my life, especially when raising children.”

  “It is real Shelly. I'm sorry if my timing sucks and I didn't ask you before I knew you were pregnant. Finding out you were pregnant made me realize I didn't want to lose you or the baby though,” Vlad said worried now that she might choose not to marry him. He wasn't used to not getting his way, and this was something that emotionally mattered to him. It wasn't a game, or a challenge, or a business deal.

  This was a matter of the heart.

  Shelly reached up and cupped his cheek with her hand. “I will let you know soon, okay?”

  Vlad nodded and watched her walk out of the room but didn't follow her. Sometimes giving a person space is the only way for them to realize what they need.

  Even if it's hard to stop yourself from chasing after them.

  Chapter 6: Acceptance

  Shelly sat in the doctor's office a few days after her first blood draw. They confirmed the pregnancy and were now doing a dating ultrasound to confirm her dates.

  She'd be close to fifteen weeks if it was accurate, which meant she conceived on their first night together. She hadn't been totally aware of the no condom thing until after they'd had sex, but she'd just come off her period and didn't think there was any chance she'd get pregnant.

  Apparently, she'd been wrong about her ovulation date.

  The nurse called her into the room and had her undress. A few minutes later, the doctor came in and put cold gel on her stomach and then was pointing thing out to the nurse on the screen.

  “Shelly, would you like some picture of the babies?” The doctor asked her.

  Nodding, Shelly almost didn't catch the word 'babies'.

  “Wait, babies? As in more than one?” she asked him, shocked.

  “Yes, you have two, and while you're still early, it looks like one of each. A boy and a girl, if you want to come back around twenty weeks, I can confirm genders for you if you want,” the doctor told her, printing out some pictures for her. He handed them to her.

  “But... How is that possible?” Shelly asked him, gripping the pictures of the babies and staring down at the proof in her hand.

  “Well, if they are boy and girl like they appear, it means you ovulated twice. Onl
y identical twins share the same egg, and they have to be the same gender,” he told her smiling. “This is a good thing. Two babies! Do you have a husband or any support at home to help you?”

  “I have a boyfriend,” Shelly muttered, realizing that Vlad had offered to marry her. Now she found out it was twins. Oh god, what was she going to tell him?

  “I'll be passing you off to a high risk specialist who is used to dealing with twin pregnancies. You'll need to start thinking about how you want to give birth, and maybe take some classes here soon. You are far enough along that you shouldn't wait last minute. Twins are often known to come a few weeks early, the doctor said standing up and nodding to the nurse. “I'll see you again in a couple of weeks, but for right now, everything looks perfect, if you have any questions, you can ask the nurse and I'll give you a call at home if you need something answered the nurse can't help with, okay?”
