He holds me while he runs a bath and then gently washes me clean. Each touch from him is gentle and loving, and it makes me feel so goddamn cherished, but when I look into his grey eyes and ask him if he’ll let me come now, he just laughs and kisses the tip of my nose.

“Not yet, baby,” he says, massaging the shampoo into my hair. “It wouldn’t be much of a lesson if I gave in so easily.”

I slump against him, trying to ignore the need that courses through every cell in my body.

“I loved the song you played, by the way.”

I laugh when I think about how rough it had sounded. “I wasn’t able to play it very well.”

“I thought it sounded beautiful. Will you play it for me again? This time when I’m not fucking you in the ass?”

“Maybe.” I give him a smile. “I’ll play it for you right now if you let me come.”

“Nice try, baby, but unlike you, I can be patient.”

It turns out he isn’t lying. He can in fact be very, very patient. He makes me wait two days. Two-motherfucking days. Every second of those forty-eight hours is pure agony. He keeps teasing me, bringing me right to the edge before denying me what I’m so desperate for. Finally, when I’m barely hanging on to my sanity, he takes pity on me and carries me to bed. He undresses me slowly, drinking in the sight of me, smiling when every touch he gives me leaves me purring with need. He’s kept me on the precipice of release for too goddamn long. Every nerve ending is lit up and ready to go. I’m like parched earth—all it’ll take is one strike of a match and I’m going to go up in flames.

He lays me back on the bed and kisses me slowly before whispering against my lips. “The next time I tell you to do something, are you going to do it, sladkaya?”

“Yes, sir,” I quickly whisper, because I’ve learned my fucking lesson. I’ll wait in the goddamn car, and I’ll do what he tells me to do, but it’s not because my ass is still sore from the spanking and I’m desperate to come. I would gladly endure that because the truth is that I would risk my life for his again and again. I’m not, however, willing to risk the life of the baby that I may or may not be carrying.

“I know why you’re saying yes, baby,” he says, reading everything on my face so easily. “But I’ll take it.”

“How the hell do you know what I’m thinking?”

He smiles and kisses me again while gently nudging my pussy lips apart with the head of his dick. “Because I love you, baby,” he says as he slides into me, filling me up in one smooth thrust that immediately makes me come so hard it momentarily blinds me.

“Danil!” I scream, blindly clutching at him as my body comes completely undone. All the edging he’s done to me pays off in a big fucking way, and all I can do is let the ecstasy consume me as I cling to him and shake from the force of the orgasm.

He fucks me in a fierce rhythm, giving me back all the pleasure he’s been denying me and then magnifying it by a thousand. As soon as one orgasm ends, another begins. It’s a spiral of pure, spine-tingling bliss, and by the time he growls my name and I feel his cock pulse inside me, I’m on the verge of passing out.

Cupping the back of my head, he kisses me slowly, running his tongue along mine as aftershocks turn me into a limp, panting mess.

“Holy shit,” I whisper when I’m finally able to speak.

He laughs and brushes sweaty strands of hair from my forehead. “See, not such a bad punishment after all.”

I’d agree, but my body is already shutting down as my eyes drift closed. He completely wore me out, and I’m asleep before he’s even grown fully soft inside me. The last thing I remember is Danil’s deep voice in my ear, whispering that he loves me.

When I wake, he’s sitting at his desk working. I stay where I’m at, pretending to still be asleep while I run my eyes over the chiseled jaw and sexy lines of his neck. The side of his mouth quirks up before he says, “I can feel you staring at me, sladkaya.”

Standing up, he walks over and leans down to kiss me. He kisses me sweetly, gently, and then trails a line of kisses to my ear before nuzzling against my neck and breathing me in. Lifting me into his arms, he whispers, “I love you so much.” He sets me down, but before I can say anything, he’s kneeling in front of me, looking more gorgeous than any man I’ve ever seen.

“What are you doing?”

He smiles up at me and gives me a wink. “I’m proposing, baby.”

“But I’m naked,” I quickly say, making him smile and give a soft laugh.

“Don’t think I haven’t noticed.” He grips my hips and pulls me closer, kissing right above my pussy. He lifts his grey eyes to mine, and when he speaks, he’s so close I can feel his lips moving against my skin and the warmth of his breath.

“Ever since the first second I saw you, I knew you were mine. I can’t explain it, I’ll never be able to, but I knew that you were the woman I was meant to spend my life with.”

He reaches into his pocket, bringing out a small, velvet box, and when he opens it, I let out a soft gasp at the gorgeous diamond inside. It’s a square-cut blue diamond that’s the exact same color as my eyes with sparkly white diamonds circling it and extending along the delicate band. It’s stunning, the most beautiful ring I’ve ever seen, and when my eyes get all watery, he squeezes my hand and kisses it.

“I love you with a fierceness that scares the hell out of me,” he says with a soft laugh. “It’s all-consuming and it possesses every single part of me and I wouldn’t have it any other way. You make me happier than I’ve ever been. You’ve shown me what love is supposed to be like, and every day I wake up so goddamn grateful to have you next to me. I love you so much, and I promise I will always love you and take care of you and be faithful to you, because you’re the only woman I want, the only woman I will ever want. Will you marry me, Simona?”

I’m crying before he’s even asked the question, and when I say, “Yes,” it’s only a shaky whisper, but he hears it, and the smile that lights up his face as he slips the gorgeous ring on my finger is one I’ll never forget.
