MAXIM
Ihit a button on a wall panel and a hidden door slides open revealing an island mansion.
Beside me, Vannah gasps.
Vannah. Such a beautiful name. This woman has taken over my thoughts, my sleep, and my business hours. Being away from her for the last week fucking ruined me. Thinking about her consumed every last cell in my body and brain making it hard to focus on my daily tasks.
The second Vannah stepped off my boat after our one-night stand I moved men in from all over my territory. We tracked the East syndicate and waited. Up until tonight, our common enemy seems to have moved on but that outfit is notorious for its long memories and short tempers.
Gray calls me paranoid, but I still don’t think we are out of danger. Only time will tell.
I consider my little captive as she walks around the home I labored over for two years for the family I would fill it with one day. I could only hope the woman I found to share this paradise with loved the ocean as much as I do.
From the awe in Vannah’s eyes, I’m going to say that’s a strong yes.
She traces a finger over the marble kitchen counters I hope to dirty with her juices soon enough. She takes particular interest in the sparkling waters of the infinity pool that feeds into a sunken portion of the living room on this side of the glass wall. With a hit of a button, I can slide the entire front of the house open to catch the cool morning breeze.
“Watch.”
She steps back in wonder when I hit a different button on a wall panel and a tempered glass floor opens up to reveal the warm waters to her curious toes.
“Go ahead. Get in.”
Her eyes glitter with amusement as she slips from my shirt and tosses it aside.
“All of it,” I instruct, pointing at the bra and panties she means to enter the pool with.
“I don’t think we have anything to hide from one another.”
“In that case…”
She tosses her bra at me and dives in with a playful giggle. Beautiful curves glide through the aqua-colored water. I lean against the counter and just marvel at the sight of her beauty. I’ll remember this moment for the rest of our lives. As she floats, I can visually see the pressures her father saddled her with lift.
The sadness in her eyes isn’t as apparent and I don’t mind taking the credit for making that happen. A little digging into her background revealed everything about her. The issues with her father, her law degree, and the loss she’s struggling through. I still can’t get over how close she was to me for the last two years as the best friend of my partner in crime. My hacker informed me her mother is non-existent and any other family is nowhere to be found. She is truly alone. Was. She has me now. And soon enough she’ll have a family of her own. Every time I mention the word baby her eyes light up and there is no mistaking the desire she has to be surrounded by love. I meant what I said earlier. I don’t know what she is-witch, a bona fide siren. I don’t know. But she’s enchanted me for sure.
Seeing her holed up in an empty house made me want to dig her dead father up and kill him all over again. Leaving her unprotected is unacceptable. The mere thought of how close she was to being killed sends my blood thundering through my veins. The first chance I get to return the favor to the East Syndicate will be a happy day. First, I want to make sure my siren knows she has a place with me and feels wanted for more than the child of mine I know she is carrying.
I kick off my shoes and toss my trousers over the back of a chair. I glide into the water and scoop her into my arms. I bring my mouth to hers and fuck. She tastes forbidden, delicious, and perfect just for me.
“Maxim,” she murmurs against my lips as if she didn’t expect me to join her in the pool.
“Krasivaya sirena. My siren. Promise me you’ll bring that gorgeous red hair back.” I cup the back of her head and gently wind my fingers through her wet locks.
Humor shines in her eyes and I see the mischievous smart remark on the tip of her tongue. Something changes her mind though and she nods instead of giving me a hard time.
“Thank you for granting me this one small favor.”
There are no words from there. Just actions.
I flip her around and point us toward the rising sun and the warm beams of light as I spread her legs. It won’t be long before the storm snuffs out the light for a time. Before that happens, I need to show her just how beautiful we are together in the light of day.
Her breath catches when I fist my hard length and move the crown to her entrance. She turns her head and when our gazes lock, I fuse our bodies in one slow thrust. We are alone on this side of the island so I walk her up a couple of steps to where the tips of her breasts skim over the water as we sway back and forth with our motions.
I anchor her to me and she wraps her delicate fingers around my wrist.
She’s so much smaller than me, but she’s not scared to go toe to toe with me which makes my dick rock hard. I fill her tight, willing pussy over and over until her mewls become screams.
“That’s it, my love.” I’ve never wanted to be someone’s knight in shining armor but for her, I won’t ever flinch to burn the fucking world to glowing embers if it means she will be safe.
