Chapter 43

Chapter 43
Willa

Maxim crouches slightly and grabs my legs, lifting me up and forcing me to hang on to him. There is a shot of pain from somewhere on my body but I ignore it and focus on the feel of him.  We’re both slippery from the water and I can feel myself slipping out of his grip, so I wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. The movement makes him groan when his erection slides between my legs. I let out a moan as he thrusts his hips just enough for the tip of him to slip inside me, but it’s gone too fast.

I let out a growl of frustration and nip his bottom lip. His chest vibrates with a chuckle and he finally breaks our kiss. 

“What’s wrong wife?”

“Maxim stop playing around. I’ve been through hell today, and I’m losing my patience.” I give him a look that says I mean business but he still laughs. 

“I’d never leave my wife unsatisfied, but I’ll admit I like this feisty side of you a little too much.” 

“I could seriously hurt you, you know?” I threaten but he just smiles. 

That smile does something to me that I wish it didn’t. It gives him this boyish look that is way too charming, but I don’t want him to be charming. I want him to ravish me. 

“Maxim…” I say his name with a whine and a pout that makes him laugh again. “Just put me down.”

He tightens his arms around my waist when I drop my arms and legs. “Don’t be a brat.” 

I narrow my eyes on him but then he leans in and takes my mouth in a gentle kiss. It isn’t hard and passionate like the last one. This one is slow and soft like he’s trying to settle the annoyance he’s built up inside me. It works. My arms are back around his neck in a second. He adjusts his hold so that one hand can grab my leg and encourage me to wrap myself around him again. This time when his erection slides between us he doesn’t tease me. He thrusts forward and fills me up in one go. My head drops back and I let out a small whimper of pain, but it also feels amazing. 

“Fuck.” He groans against my neck. 

He starts to leave small kisses along my shoulder but stops before he reaches any of my injuries. 

“Maxim…” I say his name in a whispered plea. 

I need him to move…to do something, anything.

As if he can read my mind he slowly pulls out and in again, letting me feel every bit of him. 

“Fuck, you feel so good.” He says with a groan and his resolve seems to break. 

My back hits the tiled wall and Maxim starts to thrust harder and faster. I cling to him the best I can but my head is in a fog from the feeling of him. It doesn’t take long for the pleasure to build inside me and I cry out. Maxim curses under his breath as he thrusts harder and follows me with a groan. A sharp pain makes me yelp and I smack Maxim’s shoulder. 

“Stop biting me!” I scold him and he lets out a weak laugh.

“I want everyone to know who you belong to.” He slides his fingers into my hair and tugs a little. 

I narrow my eyes on him. “I’m not your property or anyone else’s.” 

Maxim’s face gets serious before he leaves a soft kiss on my lips. “You are our girl, but you are also ours. I want to make sure no other man looks at you without knowing who you are to us. Our girl…my wife…our queen. Now, let’s get cleaned up so that we can go to bed.”

“That’s it?” I ask when he sets me down.

My legs wobble a little but he hasn’t let me go yet. “I want more of you, but in a proper bed. This is our wedding night, there is no way either of us is going to be getting much sleep.” 

He doesn’t take his time cleaning us up this time, and then he throws me over his shoulder and carries us to bed where he has his way with me all night, just like he promised. 

A loud ringing startles me awake and I accidentally elbow Maxim in the rib as I scramble to grab my phone. I answer it without seeing who’s calling and immediately hear a family voice. 

“Willa.” 

The sound of my brother’s voice hits me like a bucket of cold water. 

“Michael? What’s going on? Why are you calling me? It isn’t safe.” I say as I stand and wince at the soreness between my legs.

“Willa something happened. They…they found us.” My heart stops. 

“Who? Who found you?” I ask desperately. 

“The men…they took mom and…I don’t know where everyone is and I’m scared.” He whimpers softly and my chest tightens so much that I wonder if I’m having a heart attack.

“How are you calling me?” I ask him.

“I grabbed the phone off one of the men when he was sleeping. I don’t know how long before he notices.” My brother’s breathing is shallow and shaking. 

“Okay, try to stay on the phone, okay? Don’t talk just stay on the phone and I’ll see if I can find your location.” I grab the nearest piece of clothing I can find and put it on. 

I rush out of my room and see Lan has fallen asleep behind his desk. My brother is silent on the other end of the phone but I know we won’t have long, so I gently wake Lan up.

“Lan.” His eyes open immediately and he looks around like he’s searching for trouble. “I need your help. Someone took my family, but my brother was able to get ahold of a phone. We don’t know how long he has before someone comes looking for it. Can you trace it?” 
“Yes.” He says before he slides his mouse around to wake up one of the computer screens. “Put it on speaker.” 

I do as he says and pass him the phone. 

“Michael, my friend Lan is going to try and find you. Just stay as quiet as you can.” I remind my brother.

“Okay.” I hear him barely whisper. 

Lan starts typing and a noise catches my attention and I see Luke walk out of his room with only a pair of sweatpants on. Any other time I’d be drooling over seeing him like that but right now he’s the only one who truly knows the panic I’m in and how to help me. My fear takes over me and I quickly walk toward him. His brow furrows as I get closer and he immediately wraps me in his arms when I reach him.

“What’s wrong baby girl?” He asks.

“They took them, Luke. They found my family.” I say before a cry breaks loose that I muffle against his chest. 

I don’t want Michael to hear me breaking down. Another sound has me lifting my head to see a disheveled Maxim shuffling from the room we shared last night. His eyes are barely open and he looks dazed but when he sees me he gives me the same look Luke had. 

“What’s going on?” He asks.

“Wake up Sebastian. Shit has hit the fan. Willa’s family has been taken.” Luke explains and he tightens his arms around me.

Maxim doesn’t object or waste any time. He heads for Sebastian’s room and slams the door open. 

“Get your ass up! Your father just took Willa’s family.” That is all we hear Maxim say before a string of curses come from the room.
