He gives a soft laugh. “When you said close, you weren’t kidding. Sure, I’d love to live right below your father.”

I ignore the sarcasm and smile. “Perfect, thanks.”

Knowing we only have a few more days of peaceful alone time, I intend to enjoy every second of it, so instead of worrying about what’s to come, I turn around and lace my fingers behind Vitya’s neck, pulling him down for a kiss that he returns with a groan.

Over the next couple of days, we fall into an easy routine that feels completely natural and like it was always meant to be. Samantha seems to be growing constantly, and she’s so quick to smile and laugh. She’s even sleeping better and only waking up twice a night for bottles. Since Vitya and I take turns, that means we’re only having to wake up for one feeding a piece, which is a good thing, because by the time I close my eyes at night, he’s thoroughly exhausted me.

My mom and dad have relaxed since Val told them I’m doing fine, and Niki is fully on the job, working his ass off trying to dig up any information he can find on Samantha. It’s been a nice few days, the best of my life, and I’m not ready for it to end.

Chapter 11

Vitya

Iwatch Sveta with Samantha while a smile plays at my lips. Samantha has been all giggles lately, and it’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Sveta’s introduced her to peek-a-boo, and when she moves her hands, revealing her face to the happy baby in front of her, Samantha squeals and gives a deep belly laugh that’s adorable and infectious.

God, I love them both so damn much it hurts.

My girls.

I’d thought the words when I was talking to Val, and it had surprised me then just as much as it surprises me now. I never thought I’d have amyanything and now I have a woman that I can’t imagine not spending the rest of my life with and a baby who feels every bit like she’s mine and always has been.

I swear I can almost hear Seryozha laughing in my ear. He would’ve enjoyed teasing me about this.

Walking into the living room, I sit down next to Sveta, loving how she immediately turns her head to kiss me. I’m not the only one who’s thrilled to finally be able to show affection, and she’s just as spirited about it as I knew she would be. She’s not the kind of woman to ever doanything halfway. She’s the type to go all in, and now that she’s been fully introduced to my cock, she’s fucking obsessed with it. Every chance she gets, she’s groping me in one way or another, and I love every goddamn second of it. This morning I woke up to her mouth on my dick, and as soon as Samantha went down for her afternoon nap, Sveta had stripped and pulled me into the bedroom. Even after all that, when I meet her brown eyes, she’s still looking hungry.

“You’re insatiable,pcholka,” I tell her.

She grins and gives me a wink. “It’s not my fault you’re so much fun when you’re naked.”

I laugh and pull her closer, kissing her until Samantha squeals at us for attention. We turn back to the smiling baby, more than happy to give her what she wants.

“I can’t believe we have to leave tomorrow,” Sveta says while giving Samantha one of the soft toys I’d picked out for her. It lights up and plays music, and as soon as I push the button on the dog’s paw, Samantha’s eyes light up when a song starts playing.

“It’s going to be okay,” I tell her. “I won’t allow us to be separated.”

She nods, but she’s still worrying her bottom lip.

“We can call Val when we get to the city, and he can meet us if you think it’ll help,” I remind her.

“It certainly won’t hurt to have him there.”

“Then we’ll call him.”

She sighs and rests her head on my shoulder. “No matter what happens, Vitya, I want you to know that this has been the best week of my life.”

I cup her face and turn her towards me. “This has been the best week of my life, too, Sveta, but don’t talk like things are going to change, because I’m not going to allow that to happen. I love you, and I’m not letting you go.” I glance over at Samantha. “I’m not letting either of you go.”

“Promise?”

I meet her honey-brown eyes. “I promise, Sveta. I love you, andnothing is going to separate us. I’m going to marry you, sweetheart, and we’re going to be a family.”

She grins and cups my face. “You’re not even going to ask me?”

I smile and gently tug on a strand of her hair. “When I have a ring to put on your finger, I will.”

“I wonder what I’ll say,” she whispers.

“It better be an exuberant yes or you’ll be breaking my heart,pcholka.”
