Elena’s hands dug into my biceps. “Kon…”
I slid my hands beneath her ass and hiked her up, bringing her breasts to mouth-level. At the first lick of her, Elena let out an indignant cry, like she couldn’t believe I was being so selfish with my worshipping.
I took her nipple in my mouth, rolling it between my teeth and tongue.
Elena’s arms came around my head, holding me to her with admirable strength. I felt her cries in her chest before they left her lips, moans of pleasure and disbelief and desire.
“Fuck, lyubimaya, you taste so good,” I murmured around her.
Elena responded with an unintelligible groan.
I blew my breath over the pebbled nipple, grinning against her breast when she let out another long moan. My cock had hardened in my pants like a band of iron and I knew if I slipped my hands into her pants, I would feel her wet wantonness.
I dropped a hand and pressed a thumb between her legs, separated from her pussy by the fabric of her leggings.
Elena hissed. She responded by dropping her hand and slipping it into my pants. Her fingers came around my cock in a smooth movement.
My brain stalled for a second as I felt her skin against me, felt her nails and digits wrapped around my cock. But then she squeezed slightly, and I came back to life, bringing my hand to the waistband of her pants and dragging them down.
Elena kicked them off her ankles and wrapped her legs around my hips. I could feel her wetness through her panties, the fabric sliding up and down my stomach.
“Fuck, Elena,” I growled. I tore us away from the door and carried her over to the bed.
We didn’t separate for even a second as I dragged her up the mattress, pinning her down into the soft covers.
Elena released my cock and went for my belt buckle. She undid it with expert hands, using her feet to pull it down my thighs.
Our bodies pressed against each other, her breasts flush against my chest and her bare legs wrapped tightly around my hips. I could feel every inch of her, every tantalizing piece of her warm skin pressing against mine. Each breath, each gasp, added to the music of our passion.
I took her mouth in mine, our teeth clashing.
“Kon,” she arched up into me and rubbed herself against my cock. “Kon...”
I moved my hips, the position perfect to enter her if we hadn’t been separated by thin pieces of underwear. “Be greedy, my Elena. Take what you want.”
Her thumbs hooked around my briefs, yanking them down. She ran her fingers over my ass before curling them around to my front. My cock twitched as she danced her digits down the length, memorizing the lines and curvature.
“My turn to take,” I growled.
I grabbed the side of her panties and ripped, throwing the fabric over my shoulder. Elena cried out at the movement, almost furious I had wasted a good pair of underwear, but I swallowed the noise, kissing her deeply.
Elena moaned into my mouth. My love was a wanton creature beneath me, eager for touch and pleasure. She was entirely under my command beneath my hands, entirely mine to play with and tease and taunt.
I shoved her hips up, pressing against her entrance.
Elena moved her hips forward, but I caught them in my grip.
“Uh, uh, not yet, lyubimaya.” I leaned over her, rubbing my nose down her cheek. She shuddered beneath me. “It has been nearly three years since I last had you beneath me. I don’t intend to rush this–it has been a long time coming.”
“Kon!” She narrowed her eyes on me. “Don’t be cruel.”
I grinned at her eagerness, leaned back and grabbed my cock. Her eyes watched me intensely as I slid it up and down her slit, coating it with juices. Each breath she took was hurried and sharp, like she was fighting to suck air down into her lungs.
“Do you know, lyubimaya?” I cooed. “There is a noise you make when you’re in the midst of an orgasm. It’s the mix between a hiccup and a gasp, always in between your cries of agonizing pleasure. It comes out when your hips buck and when your knees bend.”
Elena bit her lip, the movement almost sending me back into a statement of madness.
I leaned over her, continuing to tease her with my cock. “I play this noise on repeat in my mind. I wake up with it sounding in my ears and pleasure myself with it playing in my mind.” I rested an arm over her head, caging her beneath me. “You’re going to make this noise for me, my Elena. Not once, not twice, but until you are speechless, until your voice box is worn to death.”
“Quite the promise.” Her words didn’t have the bravado she had been trying to show but I grinned at the sarcastic response.
“Promise? No, my Elena, an order. A command.” I ran a hand down her arm, pulling it away from me. “Be good,” I said when she protested. “Or else–”
I fell silent as I took in the lengths of her arms. I hadn’t noticed before, too wrapped up in Elena, but her olive-skin was covered with words. They entwined together with her choppy yet calligraphic handwriting.
...you are the most beautiful creature that has ever walked the earth...
...all the languages in the world could never find a term to do you justice...
...describing you commands one’s entire mouth and an essay of idioms...
...you have been a creature of love your entire life...
My words caressed her skin, stretching over her elbows and wrists and biceps. They were shoved together, not all the sentences in order, but the hurriedness told me the rush she had been to get them down, to ink her skin with my declaration.
Elena went bright red, squirming beneath me.
I pinned her to the bed, too enamoured to let her go free. I trailed my fingers down the words, outlining the loops and lines.
“Lyubimaya...” I murmured. “My little liar, my smart girl.”
She sucked in a sharp breath.
I found the word love. It was darker than the others, traced over a few times. “Why did you leave, lyubimaya?”
There was no demand to my tone, no anger or insanity. I sounded like a man asking the woman he loved why she had left; quiet and sad, curious and heartbroken.
Elena stared at me. Then she said, “I had to keep you safe.”
“It is my job to keep you safe. I am the Pakhan.”
She slid one hand out of my grip, palm caressing my cheek. “No. That’s not true. I had to keep you safe, Kon. I had to keep you all safe. Even if it meant...”
“Keeping my child away from me?”
“Even if it meant that,” Elena agreed softly.
“Tatiana has threatened you, then. Them or you–that is her little threat. Your family or yourself.”
She nodded.
I worked my jaw, absorbing the information. Then, I released her and pulled myself away from her. It felt like I was tearing the skin off my bones, but I stood up.
Elena scrambled to sit up, naked body still stretched out over my blanket.
“You should’ve said something.”
She crossed her arms over her chest, offering herself some modesty. “I knew what you would say. You wouldn’t let me leave, you would’ve threatened everyone’s safety just so you could have me near you.”
Elena was right. I would’ve sacrificed myself and those I loved to keep her safe and with me.
“We are not without strength, Elena. Tatiana would have to go through thousands of men because she came near this family.”
