    “No, it’s never happened before. I’ve always been able to find an answer, but everything was


    fuzzy that time. It’s been getting clearer for me every other time, too,” he said. He was clearly


    perplexed.


    “Have you tried to look for that same answer again?” Stephen asked.


    “Yeah, same result each time,” Misha said.


    My mind was racing. I unwrapped Adrik’s arms from around me so I could walk to the remaining


    cookies I’d made for Andrei. They all smirked at me, knowing I had a serious sweet tooth if


    something was bothering me. “What? Sugar helps me think, I said, biting into the cookie.


    “They need frosting next time,” Misha said. “They’re just boring without it.”


    “Noted, my adorable Russian guardian,” I said. As I finished the cookie, I had an idea pop in my


    head. “Were you looking for Sal’s kids specifically?” I asked. Misha nodded his head. “What if


    the oues on them aren’t clear because no one knows what will happen to Sal yet? Like we


    don’t know if Stephen will be needed or if Adrik will be needed. Make sense?”


    “That falls in line with what Misha was looking for, actually. We said there was a possibility they


    would never move against us if they find out what really happens to Sal.” Ivan said.


    I felt Adrik getting itchy because I was no longer next to him, so as I walked back to his side, I


    said, “there’s also the possibility that no one knows what will happen when Adrik is needed.”


    Everyone was quiet as I settled into Adrik’s arms once more, loving the contentment 1 could


    feel from him once he had his arms around me again. “Do you think Kostya can find that


    answer?” Ivan asked.


    “We can ask him. Lena might be able to find out too. Those two are the most essible, if you


    will,” I said. “I’m not entirely sure anyone like us has ever existed before, though. There may not


    be answers to be found.”


    Andrei yawned as everyone mulled over what had been said. “We can worry about it all


    tomorrow. I think everyone should get some sleep tonight,” Adrik said. Sleep was definitely the


    last thing on his mind right now, but it sounded reasonable enough to everyone else.


    As soon as the door closed behind them, Adrik’s lips were on mine. He was desperate for me,


    like he hadn’t seen me in months. “What is wrong with me,” he said against my lips. “I cannot


    get enough of you right now.”


    “Please never do,” I said, pulling him with me toward the bedroom. I didn’t think the uards


    outside the door needed another performance tonight. I would prefer if no one heard me this


    time.


    By the time we made it to the bedroom, we were bothpletely naked. A trail of clothes


    remained between the kitchen and the bedroom, waiting to show us the way out should we


    need it at any point. We were both giggling at our inability to control ourselves.


    His hands were everywhere at once, making sure there was as little distance between as


    possible. His desire felt different. It was almost primal. I broke the kiss long enough that I could


    look at him. His eyes were swirling between his usual blue and ck.


    I smiled at him, switching my eyes to ck. It was all he needed to stop the internal struggle he


    was having. He smirked at me as he roughly grabbed me, picking me up. When he got closer to


    the bed, he all but threw me on it. Flying through the air is now a surprising turn on for me,


    He usually struggled to maintain control and would force himself to go slow, at least in the


    beginning. He still worried he would hurt me most of the time. Tonight was not that way. He


    flipped me onto my stomach and pulled my hips toward him. He was inside me and I was


    moaning before I even knew what had happened.


    He was rough, but I loved it. I could feel his fingers digging into my hips as he held me tightly.


    The scar from the night of the ball was usually numb, but when he held my hips, I could feel his


    fingertips pressing into my skin. As strange as it sounded, it was nice to have something to feel


    there.


    He was pounding into me, his rhythm unrelenting. I was beginning to question if I’d be able to


    walk the next day, but I wanted him to keep going. All I could do was grab the sheets and hang


    on as he showed no signs of stopping.


    I felt his hand move up my back. Same as my hip, I didn’t normally have much feeling over my


    back because of my scars. He discovered that if he ran his fingertips over my scars, 1 could feel


    it. He was apologetic when he first did it. He thought I was sleeping when it happened. He didn’t


    want to make me ufortable by exploring my scars. I surprised him by telling him I really


    liked it as he gave me something to feel there, other than extreme pain, since it had happened.

    With his hand on my back now, I could feel everything like normal. Like there were no scars. His


    hand left a trail of fire over my back and I loved it. I wanted more. “Your hand. Use the other one


    too,” I told him. Thank *od for being able to talk to hire silently. There was no way I’d have been


    able to get that out in between screams otherwise.


    He moved both hands to my back, letting them roam while he pulled me back to him with each


    thrust. It started an entirely new wave of pleasure through my body. I waspletely on fire


    under his touch. I could feel everything on my back like it wasn’tpletely scarred. My body


    completely exploded. I was no longer in control. He was inplete control of my body, forcing


    it to ever higher levels of pleasure with each touch, with each thrust of his hips. He owned me in


    those


    moments.


    Adrik could feel what I felt. Even through my pleasure, I could feel his gratification at being able


    to push me to new heights. He always took pleasuring me as a challenge. Like he was trying to


    beat his personal best each and every time. I fully supported it.


    He didn’t let up, he just kept pushing my body to feel more pleasure with each time he pushed


    into me. It felt like I could do nothing but or*asm. There was no ending, there was no beginning.


    There was just pleasure.


    I finally felt him find his own release and he copsed onto the bed beside me. I had to work to


    catch my breath for the first time in a long time as I rolled over next to him. He immediately


    began to worry when he noticed. His eyes were still ck, which somehow managed to calm


    me. I just focused on his eyes, finding peace in the fact that he would destroy anything and


    everything that ever thought to cause me harm. I couldn’t help but smile at him as my breathing


    finally returned to normal once again.


    “That hasn’t happened in a while,” he said, concern very evident on his face.


    “Um, se* like that hasn’t happened ever. I don’t know why you’re surprised I couldn’t catch my


    breath,” I said, grinning at him.


    He chuckled. “Maybe you’re right.”


    I got up, pulling him up with me. He reached down and picked me up, walking us both to the


    shower.


    “I might’ve made it difficult for you to walk,” he said, a boyish grin on his face.


    “You definitely did, but I loved every minute of it.”


    As we stood under the hot water, he was watching me. “What happened when I put my hand on


    your back?”


    “Mmm, you brought all the feeling back. It felt almost like I didn’t have scars. Same for the scar


    on my hip. I have feeling there when you grab my hips.”


    He smirked down at me. “Well, then I’ll have to grab you more,” he said, holding me against him


    tighter..


    “Please do. I’m a fan,” I said, giggling at the look of surprise on his face.


    He leaned down and kissed me. “You never cease to amaze me with how perfect you are for


    me.”


    “It’s like we were meant to be or something,” I said, grinning at him.


    His face turned serious as he looked down at me, brushing a curl from my face. “Sephie, I’ve


    never been more sure that I can get through anything life throws at me now that I have you by


    my side. All of this…s*it that’s happening with the other bosses? It doesn’t worry me in the


    slightest. I find myself enjoying the process, simply because you’re with me. I know you will


    always be there to make my path in life even brighter with your light.”


    My breath caught. I looked up at him, my fingers lightly running over his facial hair I felt the pull


    in my chest from him so strongly. A smile slowly stretched over my face as I looked at him,


    thinking about howpletely I loved him. I felt the same as he did. I knew I could get through


    anything as long as I had him. I stood up and kissed him sweetly, then rested my head on his


    chest as his armspletely enveloped me. He sighed as I pushed all my warmth to him, his


    bodypletely rxed and content to have me in his arms.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.
