I stared at her, stunned. “I knew you were a softie,” I said.
“Of course you did,” she agreed.
The dog already acted like he’d lived there his whole life, jumping on the nearest chair. We looked at each other, my eyes narrowed, Masha’s wide.
“We can’t start with rules on his first day,” she said, nudging him back to the floor.
I picked up a ball from his box, and he yipped, half his back end wagging. When I tossed it lightly across the room, he tore after it and brought it back to me, looking at me like I was some kind of god.
“Well, this is all right,” I said, trying a rope toy from the box.
“He’s super playful,” she said. “He’s really the best dog, and he’s cute once you get to love him.”’
She was right, he wasn’t so ugly as he jumped around and caught the ball and grabbed for the rope. Pretty soon, I realized Masha had stopped playing with us and stood there staring at me, just as I had stared at her when she was crying her eyes out with happiness.
“Is this Anatoli Ovinko?” she asked. “My cold as ice husband? Rolling on the floor with a drool-covered ball?”
I laughed, realizing I hadn’t felt as cold as ice in a long time. I reached out to her. “You’re welcome to join us.”
She did, and pretty soon we wore Frederick out. He curled up under the desk and was wheezing away, fast asleep, but we stayed on the rug, lying on our sides and looking at one another.
“He’s great with kids, too,” she said. “Or so they told me.”
“One day we’ll find out,” I told her, sliding my hand behind her neck to draw her closer.
Our lips met, warm and soft, until her mouth opened to my tongue and her hand pressed against my chest. Then she turned fierce. She rolled me onto my back and straddled me, holding the dog’s rope toy like our little whip.
“You’ve actually been too good for me to have to use this,” she said slyly.
“What if I want you to?” I rolled her over onto her back, gasping and laughing until I kissed her fiercely.
She arched her back, her arms gliding around my neck. “Anything you want, Anatoli.”
“Only you, little girl, only you.”
I rose up to slip her shirt over her head, trailing my fingers down her smooth skin, taking in every beautiful inch. Hungrily, she unbuttoned my shirt and shoved it down over my shoulders, her hips writhing beneath me. She was setting me on fire.
“How do you make me so wild?” I asked, wrenching my pants down and reaching for hers.
“You know I like it that way,” she said, dragging me back to her as soon as we were free of our clothes.
I gripped her thigh, turning her onto her side to smack her cute little ass. “Then that’s how you’ll get it.”
I slid into her from behind, kissing her neck, making her shiver and squeal at the same time. She pushed back against me, reaching to pull me closer. I tweaked her taut nipples and ran my hand down her smooth belly, her tight pussy gripping my cock. Sometimes we could lazily explore one another, but this was not one of those times. There was just something about watching her interact with her new pet that had me unhinged with desire.
A mention of children, a vision of our future. A future we’d both go to the ends of the earth to protect.
“I love you so damn much,” I said, barely able to get the words out as she pushed hard against my thrusts, giving everything, greedily taking all I wanted her to have.
“I love you,” she gasped.
She reached behind her, almost blindly, to grab for my face, pulling me close to kiss her some more. I could never get enough of her, and I’d never stop trying. I pulled away, chucklingat her feral, throaty growl. Only a split second separated, to flip her on her back. Another second to look at her body, with her arms reaching to drag me back down to her, her legs spread and wrapping around my hips. Mine, all mine.
I gripped her wrists in one hand and held them fast to the floor, leaning down to kiss her neck, further down to lick and nip at each nipple. She thrashed against my grasp and bit my shoulder when I didn’t budge. We both laughed, and I plunged deep inside her again.
“You are so amazing,” I said, because it was true. I moved just the way she liked, and she moaned.
“This is amazing. Hurry, Anatoli.”
