“I'd love to, but I have Alexi,” Katya groaned.
Lev came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. “And you have a husband. Go and hang out with your sisters.”
Then he whispered something in Katya's ear that made her turn beet red, and she swatted him playfully on the arm.
“Marten,” Lev said. “Since Jaroslav’s hands will be full, you're keeping watch on Katya.”
Marten nodded.
“Now, whose closet am I raiding? Because I'm not going home till the sun is up!” Kira declared.
The men groaned, and the women laughed. We went back to Lev's place, where closets were raided, makeup and hair were done, and laughter was ongoing.
We went to one of the Safin clubs, and we were the only ones in the VIP section. Katya and I couldn't drink, but that didn't stop us from ordering orange juice in shot glasses and seeing who could drink it without their hands. While the girls were on one side, the guys were on the other, and I felt Jaroslav's eyes on me always. It didn't make me feel restricted or controlled; it made me feel desired and yearned for.
As the sun came up, I hugged everyone goodbye. It felt like the dawn of a new day over both factions. After promising to meet again soon, Jaroslav and I made our way home, fingers entwined as he drove.
When we got home, he led me straight to bed.
“Can I at least freshen up?” I asked as he kissed me.
“No,” he said as he pulled my dress over my head. “I've been wanting to get you out of this damn dress all night. I need you now.”
We both undressed quickly, but when we stood there, bare before each other, the world slowed.
Jaroslav’s gaze moved over me like a touch itself…warm, aching, and starving. My breath caught in my throat.
“You're beautiful,” he said, hoarsely. “And I’m proud to say you're mine.”
I stepped closer, pressing my body against his. My lips brushed his ear as I whispered, “Then claim me.”
His hand gripped the back of my neck, and our mouths met in a kiss. Instead of taking me to bed, he pressed me against the wall. He lifted me in his arms and wrapped my feet around his waist. And when he glided his cock into me, we both moaned.
He looked into my eyes. “Tell me this is real. Tell me this is ours.”
“It is. It's always been.”
Then there were no more words, just movement. Jaroslav pounded into me, and our pleasured cries toppled from our lips. I clung to him, nails digging into his back, as his lips devoured my mouth.
We came together like waves trying to find the shore, crying out each other's names.
He pressed his forehead to mine.
“I love you, Vera.”
“I love you too, Jaroslav.”
Our breathing slowed, yet he didn’t let me go. He held me tight against him.
And there was no other place I'd rather be.
Epilogue - Jaroslav
Artyom was true to his word.
The night he left the restaurant, he made the public announcement: the war between our factions had ended. Not only had we come to a truce, but he declared that his sisters were married to Safin men, and anyone foolish enough to move against us would find themselves at war with him.
Kira, Yegor, and Zahkar were finally allowed to visit Katya. And together with the Safin men, they’d started competing over who could get the coolest toys for Alexi.
