“What’s wrong?”

“I’m pretty sure she saw Fiona kiss me.” I walk inside the house. I spot my mother.

“She is upstairs. Let her be Viktor.” She says before I ask. But I don’t stop. She grabs my arm. What is it with people today? “Ava clearly is in love with you. You need to let her go if you aren’t sure.” I’m surprised by her words. Does she know my relationship with Ava up to this point has been a facade.

“Mom, stay out of this.” She lets go.

Upstairs I try to open my bedroom door but it’s locked. I call her name but she doesn’t answer. I go to my office and get my spare key. I open the door. She is sitting on the bed. She looks broken. She has been crying. When she realizes I am in the bedroom she looks up and dries her eyes. I lock the door behind me.

“I told you not to leave my mother’s side.” I demand.

“I’m not in the mood for one of your controlling tantrums.” Her voice is weak. I take steps towards her. “Please don’t. I need a few minutes to myself.”

“What’s wrong?” I ask even though I know.

“She is the woman from the pictures in your office. You were happy once.” Pictures in my office? I thought those were destroyed.

“It’s not what you think.”

“I doubt you know what I’m thinking.” I close the gap between us despite her request.

“She is my past.”

“A past you are supposed to marry.”

“Who told you that?”

“Everyone at the party is talking about it. It seems I am the only one who didn’t know. She is beautiful and your father’s choice. This needs to end Viktor. I can’t do this anymore.” She closes her eyes.

“I don’t give a fuck who my father’s choice is.” I softly pull her off the bed. “You are my choice.” My lips crush hers.

It’s a reckless kiss. My need for her is unexplainable. I turn her and unzip her dress. Her body responds to my every touch. Her breathing is labored. I bite her shoulder as the dress pools on the floor. I face her and kiss her. I snap her bra open and take her panties off. My beautiful woman. I need her. I lead her to the bed.

“Bend over. Hold yourself on the edge of the bed. I want your perfect ass in all its glory.” She doesn’t question. She does exactly what I want. “You are perfect but you disobeyed my order. Now you have to deal with the consequences of your actions.”

Chapter Forty-Four

Ava

His tone, it’s dark. It wakes in me the dark desire I seem to have for him. Every time he takes control and commands me my body feels alive. He is a man I never imagined I would want. Maybe this is why it’s so hard. I let myself be clouded. I allowed myself to see a future with him where clearly there isn’t one. I love a man who doesn’t belong to me. He caresses my butt cheeks.

“I’m going to spank you six times with my hand. You will take every one of them without complaint. Do you understand, Baby girl?”

“Yes,” I whisper.

“Good girl. I want you to count.” I shake my head. “I want to hear you say it.” He demands. I find myself aroused.

“Yes.” He doesn’t warn me. The first spank vibrates. The heat from his hand burning. Time stops. It’s just him, me, and the pleasure he gives.

“Count.” He caresses the area he spanked.

“One.” Again, without warning. This time I speak. “Two.” Every single one is harder than the previous one. It feels good. It’s rough when his hand connects and sweet when he caresses the pain away. It’s making me forget what is happening outside this bedroom. “Six.” I think he is going to speak but instead, I hear the sound of his zipper.

“Hold tight. This is going to be hard and quick.” I don’t get a chance to respond. He fills me in one thrust. “Always ready for me.” He slams into me. Every thrust brings me closer to the edge. Three more thrusts and he climaxes but I don’t. He pulls out and spanks my ass one last time.

“Viktor,” I moan.

“This is for my pleasure.” He walks away. I don’t know how to feel. He returns with a washcloth. Another sweet moment but it feels so wrong. “Get dressed. We have guests waiting.” I’m too stunned to speak. I pull the dress on. “Turn around Baby girl.” He zips my dress. “Take a few minutes to collect yourself. I expect you downstairs no later than five minutes.”
