Chapter 19

Luka

Thump…thump…thump.

Dread filled the pit of my stomach with each step closer to Nikolai’s office. I felt like I wanted to throw up.

What if Vladimir had been so angry he ratted me out?

Thump…thump…thump.

Something was off with everyone as I passed them in the hall. They held a suspicious look in their eyes. Or maybe I was just paranoid.

You are guilty. You slept with the one person you weren't supposed to. The devil taunted me.

I knocked on the door with my heart hammering in my chest. I could hear him tell me to come in, so I turned the knob and accepted my fate. Nikolai looked up from his laptop and gave me a nod to sit.

“Luka, I need you to switch with Markus, so he can guard Valentina.” He said leaning back in his chair.

“What?” My stomach dropped.

“Because he’s going to guard Anna. Things are complicated between him and my mother. You know I hate the drama. It's the last thing I need."

"Yeah, you can count on me." I said with guilt weighing me down.

I can remember the last time I gave him my word. I swore I'd keep my hands to myself, but failed miserably. More than failed him. I betrayed him and he didn't even know it yet.

I stood in his office and watched him fold his hands under his chin and grin. “I don’t know how you do it, Luka. The only person Anna will listen to is you. Keep up the good work and remember what I told you.”

“Off limits, I know and I haven’t forgotten. You can count on me.” I gulped trying to swallow the devil down.

Little did I know, I had just lied to him.

A line was going to be crossed.

One I was never supposed to cross.

Oh Luka, what have you gotten yourself into.

***

"Anna," I warned. "Your brother is downstairs...he could come up at anytime."

This was risky.

I knew that.

Anna knew that.

We just didn't give a shit at this point.

She trailed her finger down my chest pressing her breasts against my chest. “So punish me, Papa.”

She was tempting me to take her. Licking her lips, she looked down to my belt. I knew what she wanted, but she was a bad girl. I would have her begging on her knees in no time. I pushed her back on the bed and she moaned at the contact.

“Such a naughty princess,” I loomed over her small frame and traced my thumb over her bottom lip. “What do you think I should do about it?”

“I want you, Luka.” She purred licking my thumb.

I loved to hear her beg me for it. It made my body do things to me. Reaching down between her legs, I smiled to myself. She wasn’t wearing any panties just as I told her to.

“Please.” She whimpered as I teased her clit barely brushing up against it. Her breath hitched as I pinched it between my thumb and forefinger. She whimpered under my touch and bucked her hips. Just as she was about to have her orgasm, I retracted my hand. I chuckled as her pouty lips stuck out.

I wanted to shove her down to her knees and fuck those delicious lips, but I still needed to teach her a lesson. Her eyes were begging me to touch her. She laid back and parted her legs tempting me to give in to her demands and fuck her.

“How bad do you want this, baby girl?” I rubbed my cock through my pants.

“Please, I want it bad.” She whined.

I loved hearing her beg for it to the point she was almost in tears. Leaning down in between her legs, I ran my hands up her thighs and spread them. “Then, show me how bad you want it.”

I stood up and walked over to the chair sitting down. She was on her feet and standing in front of me ready to obey my commands. Sinking to her knees, she began to work on my pants freeing my cock. She pumped my length and sucked on the tip dragging her tongue over the head making me suck in a breath.

“Fuck.” I groaned tilting my head back.

Her head bobbed up taking me in her mouth. Wrapping my hand around her hair, I worked her just the way I wanted. I threw my head back and closed my eyes when she vibrated against me.

“Get up here and ride Papa's cock, baby girl.” I yanked her mouth off me and released her hair.

She balanced herself on my lap and I slammed inside her making her yelp. I covered her mouth as she screamed in pleasure.

“Shhh, we don’t want anyone hearing you. Especially your brother.” I bucked my hips as she rode me.

I released my hand from her mouth and replaced it with my mouth. “Oh god, Luka!” She moaned in my mouth. Bucking my hips faster, her walls tightened around me and clamped down as I filled her up with my seed.

"We need to talk." Valentina said with a stern look.

"What about?" I asked.

"I know about you...what you've been doing." She said with a smirk.

"Are you fucking threatening me?!" I hissed clenching my jaw.

"I'm sorry, but you're misinterpreting me. You love her, yes?" She asked me smiling.

"Yes, more than anything." It felt good to be able to say it out loud.

"You would do anything for her?"

"Without a doubt." I replied.

"Even take a bullet for her?"

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Nothing was making sense.

"I'm just...she's my daughter. I just need to know that you'll protect her no matter what. I lived in fear with Mikhail all my life and Vladimir was there for me. He got me out, but I...he couldn't get my children out. It was too risky. I want to know she's safe."

"Of course she's safe with me. Why wouldn't she...Nikolai. You think he would actually hurt his own sister?”

"I don't want to believe he would, but he is Mikhail's bloodline. Mikhail was a monster...ripped me away from my family at a young age. He ripped me away from them on my birthday! What kind of monster does that? I know she's angry and has questions...she has every right to hate me. Just promise me one thing, protect her at all costs. Even if it's against Nikolai." She breathed out.

"Anna doesn't hate you, Valentina. She's hurt, there's a difference. She thinks you never loved her. She knows what kind of monster Mikhail was. Trust me when I say, Mikhail came to the end of his rope."

"What are you saying?" She furrowed her eyebrows.

"I...fuck, I've said too much." I frowned knowing I told her too much information.

"Please Luka, tell me... I have to know what you meant." She whispered.

I grabbed her wrist and pulled her in my room. " Mikhail is dead, that's why he was gone a week. Him and a few others went to kill him. He's dead."

"You mean, he's gone for good?"

"Yes. Now, you tell me something. Why is it complicated between you and Vladimir? Nikolai is switching me and Markus. All your son said it was complicated between you and Vladimir."

"I have no idea why he would switch. It wasn't me. I haven't spoken a word to him since I arrived." She stated.

Fucking Vladimir.

God dammit.

She sighed and frowned. "Vladimir kissed me and I pushed him away. I'm sorry, but this is all my fault. I told him not to, but he didn't listen. I'll talk to Nikolai for you."

"No, it's fine."

"When are you going to tell him you've fallen in love...with his sister?"

"I don't know how to. He's going to kill me." I sighed.

"Just don't let him find out from someone else. You know he doesn't like secrets."

"I know." I closed my eyes sucking in a breath.

I knew eventually I would have to tell Nikolai the truth...about everything.

About how I betrayed him.

Lied to his face.

How I touched her.

Took her innocence.

That I started to fall for her.

And lastly, I am in love with her.

I, Luka Alexeev, was in love with Anna Vasiliev.

My best friend's sister.

And I would never stop loving her.

Even in death.
