“What time is it?” she sits up, almost in a panic.

“It’s early.” She gets out of bed, looking for her clothes.

“How early?”

“Eight.”

“Jesus, I need to feed the kids. Why did you let me sleep in?” There is a slight panic in her voice. It’s adorable. I chuckle.“This isn’t funny.”

“The nannies fed them. I made sure they were both fine. You needed to rest. They are here to help you.”

“It’s not the same. Where are my clothes?”

“Why don’t I run you a bath?”

“I need to see my babies.” I grab the tablet on my nightstand, where you see all the cameras. I hand it to her.

“See, fast asleep.”

“Wait, you mean to tell me there are cameras around the house?”

“Of course. I need to know what is happening at all times.”

“Is there a camera in my bedroom?”

I don’t answer. I walk to the bathroom and turn the water to fill the tub. I pour lavender oil.

“Viktor?” She yells.

“Come take a bath.”

“I’m not doing anything unless you answer me.” She stands at the door. I walk over and pull her to me.

“What difference does it make?”

“You,”

I don’t let her finish. I kiss her, swallowing every single word. She tries to fight it at first, but desire wins.

Watching as Ava gets into the bathtub centers me. Everything is returning to normal. Claiming her is what I needed. Confessing how I feel brought us closer. We are better together than when we are apart. I know once she lets her guard down, she will see it as well. Our relationship hasn’t been simple. But it doesn’t matter. She is my Queen, and I will fight for her with every arsenal I have. I will show her that we are worth fighting for. This war I’m facing is temporary. Once everything is over, we can start living the life she and our kids deserve.

Chapter Forty Six

Ava

It’s been a few weeks of bliss. I’ve allowed myself to be his. There is no point fighting a battle I’m bound to lose. I’m letting things be. Since the night he confessed his love for me, I’ve been sleeping in his bed. There was something about his confession that felt different. Like the final piece of the puzzle fell into place. Viktor has been trying to convince me to move my things to his bedroom. But I’m not ready. We still have so much to figure out. We have to build the trust that is broken. It isn’t going to happen overnight. But it’s hard to resist him. Especially when he claims me like he did last night.

His lips feel just like the first time. As his hands explore all my curves it’s like he doesn’t care about the stretch marks that our son has left behind. There is a trace of heat where his lips have touched. Finally he stops at my breast taking his time without taking his eyes of mine. We have never been so intimate like this moment.

“Viktor,” I moan.

“Let me love you.”

He goes to the waistband of the leggings I’m wearing and takes them off effortlessly. The wetness between my legs continues to grow. Every kiss and bite taking over all my senses. He bites down hard on my nipples, getting a cry of pleasure out of me. He continues to kiss down my stomach and stops at the edge of my panties. My breath catches when his tongue traces the lace of my panties. I feel his smile. He kisses me on top of my panties then bites the inside of my legs. It’s soft but precise.

“Viktor,” I whisper.

If he hears me, he doesn’t show it. Our eyes connect as he slowly takes my panties off. He licks his lips, hunger pouring from his eyes. As his mouth connects he puts one of my legs on his shoulder .
