Page 14 of Merciless Promise
“I haven’t agreed to anything,” she said.
I walked away from her and over to the minibar. I figured she was likely a vodka girl, so I grabbed a small Absolut bottle and a Jameson for me before returning to her. I handed her the clear bottle, then opened and swallowed mine down in a large gulp. I tossed the bottle toward the garbage can before returning to the task at hand.
“You’ll benefit even more from this than me.”
She arched a brow. “How? I don’t think?—”
“If you’re married to me, you cannot possibly marry Aram. And unlike these docile chumps you date night in and night out, they can not stop him from trying to take you back home with him. I have the means to keep Aram away from you as you stick it to your father and him. After all, I know that’s the reason you fled to New York City to demean yourself like this.”
“You just think you know so much about me. You’re wrong about?—”
“Am I? There’s a price on your father’s head, and while he’s in hiding, I know where he is and could share that information?—”
“You wouldn’t?” she said to me.
I smirked. “Do you dare me, Ekaterina?”
“No, no,” she quickly said. “So, I marry you and what? We stay married until you get control, or until your grandfather passes?”
“There’s actually one other thing.”
“Which is?”
“You would need to stay married to me long enough to bear a male heir.”
“What? Absolutely not. I don’t even want you touching me?—”
I eliminated the distance between us, and when I swung her up in my arms, she stopped mid-sentence. I tossed her down onto the bed, then my body came down over her. “You and I both know that’s a lie because I can and will make you comeso fucking hard every night. You’ll beg me to fuck you, and I’ll oblige because sex will be all there ever is between us. A hatefuck can be a very powerful thing, and if you say yes to me right now, I’ll prove it.”
“This is preposterous.”
“It’s business, and nothing more. You help me and I help you.”
“ You scratch my itch and I scratch yours,” she added.
I grinned down at her. “Exactly. My grandfather will regret his ultimatum, and your father will regret treating you like a possession he could pawn off to the highest bidder. And Aram, well, he likely couldn’t even get his dick up, so you’d be saving him from himself.”
“There’s got to be a different way for both of us,” she said to me.
I moved off her, then removed my jacket, shirt, and tie before unbuttoning my pants. Her eyes widened as I slowly pulled my pants down my legs, then kicked them off, along with my shoes and socks. My boxers came next, and once naked in front of her, she began to crawl back toward the headboard.
I reached down and grabbed a condom from my wallet, then tossed it onto the bed. After, I kept my eyes on her as I crawled up the bed until I was able to cover her body once more with mine. One hand went to her throat, while the other wrapped around my cock as I applied pressure to my magic cross on the tip.
“It’s decision time, Ekaterina. Do I give up you and your father’s whereabouts to a man who wants to hurt you both? Or, do you spread those legs of yours and give me what we both know will be mine eventually, anyway?”
My heart was pounding rapidly in my chest. This entire night was crazy, especially the scenario. Kingston and I hated each other, yet he wanted to tie himself down to me for God knows how long—until I gave him a son. This was something that would’ve happened a hundred years ago, not today. Only, I knew it could because several marriages in different mafias were arranged, including my own to a man I liked no more than the one currently stroking his cock as he waited for a response.
My eyes dropped between us, and I was not only getting more aroused as I saw how long, wide, and thick he was, but I was also fascinated by the two metal piercings at the tip of his cock. They had to make his dick sensitive, especially if his expression was anything to go by. A flash of something indescribable would pierce his cold eyes whenever his fingers would nick over the metal barbells.
If it makes him feel that good, how will it make me feel?
“This is crazy,” I whispered, not only to him but to myself for even entertaining sex with this bastard, much less anything else.
“It’s a win-win situation for the both of us. We comply, but on our terms, making your father and my grandfather regret the day they ever tried to interfere in our lives. I have the money, power, and security to keep you in the lifestyle you’re accustomed to, and after one night with me, you won’t even want another man.”
“Ha,” I laughed. “You’re awfully cocky.”
He grabbed one of my hands, then brought it to his shaft to replace his with mine. “I think we’ve already established that, but you tell me.”
