87. Apology!

Veronica's POV

He literally took my challenge seriously and now I can't even move my legs.

Fuck, It's sore.

We didn't stop at one round. As soon as I recovered from my orgasm, he started it again and at the end of the night, I forgot the count.

Sun is already out and I have slept for only two hours. Vlad was rough but he didn't hurt me.

I wanted to make him relax, I know he is hurting. He loves Grace so much.

I had no idea that Grace has called Dominick to take her away. It means she knew that he is alive, she was just trying to know if she could trust me.

Guess, Grace is not that naive. She knows when to play.

"Good morning... "

Vlad squeezed my thigh and I hissed.

"What happened? "

I pushed his hand away.

"It's sore. "

He smirked and gently rubbed my thighs.

"You asked for it. "

He pulled me closer and kissed my head while rubbing my back.

"Aren't you mad at me? "

I mumbled.

"For what? "

He asked and covered me with bedsheets.

"Because I hid her pregnancy. "

I closed my eyes and sighed.

"I am sorry, I thought you will freak out and might hurt the baby. "

"You really think that I can hurt babies... That too unborn... "

He asked, I can sense the hurt in his voice.

I tried to explain myself.

"No, I was just worried about her... I don't think you can___"

"I knew she was pregnant! "

He declared and my eyes snapped open.

I looked at him and his face was blank. Of course he knew, nothing happens in this mansion without his consent.

Why didn't I think that he has access to my laptop? God! I am so dumb.

"He won!"

He sighed.

"He knew that I can't keep Grace with me if she is carrying the heir of Italian mafia king. I will protect her as a brother but Russians won't. They would have try to kill her because it's a shame to carry your enemies child. Grace was in danger here and that's why I didn't fight much. "

"You won as a brother! "

I cupped his face. Whenever I think him as a worse man, he comes up with new side of his which makes me fall for him.

"You let your love for her win and not your ego... I am so proud of you, Vlad. "

"You don't hate me? "

He smiled.

"No, I don't! "

I hugged him.

"Sometimes you are pain in the ass but I don't hate you. "

He chuckled at me.

"But I am worried for her, those people..."

He sighed.

"I don't trust them. "

"She will be fine... Our Grace is stronger than before. "

He hugged me.

"I just can't imagine my life without you now... You are my peace. "

I smiled and hugged him back.

"I am sorry for interfering in your career but you really deserve this position.. You are worthy. "

He said while looking at me.

"I know that your intentions are good about me. You want the best for me but let me fight my own battles, Vlad... I can't always hide behind you."

My fingers travelled in his hair.

"Even if you don't want, I'll always be there to fight beside you. "

He pecked my lips.

"Even if I am the wrong one? "

I teased.

He chuckled.

"Babe, do you think I care about right or wrong?... I am the fucking wrong. "

"You are so mean"

I laughed and slapped his arm and squealed when he flipped me down and hovered me.

"I love you... "

He captured my lips.

He groaned and broke the kiss when his phone rang.

He saw the caller ID and his face turned sour.

"It's Grace"

I said.

"Why are you not picking up? "

"I don't want to talk to her and I won't..."

He said and got up.

"You can't ignore her, Vlad... What if she calls you for help. "

I said and he looked at me.

"You attend it... I won't... She needs to understand that there are consequences to hurt the people. "

He said and he sounds damn serious.

I sighed and picked up the call.

"Grace, Are you okay? "

I asked.

"I am fine, Vera... "

She sounds safe and happy.

"I am safe... "

She said and I heard groaning in the background, Dominick must be rolling his eyes.

"Where is, Vlad? "

She asked.

"He must be angry at me... I want to talk to him. "

I looked at Vlad and he shook his head before disappearing in the washroom.

"Grace, Vlad is angry and you know him."

I sighed.

"It will take time but he will be back like your old brother. "

"Is he okay? "

She asked sadly.

"He is! "

I assured.

"Don't worry. "

"I am sorry, I know he is hurt but please tell him that he is the best brother and I love him. "

Poor girl, she is stuck between unnecessary rivalry.

"He loves you too, Grace... And I am happy that you choose yourself over obligation... I am proud of you... Please take care and call me anytime if you need anything. "

I said.

"Thank you so much, Vera..."

She replied.

'Grace, honey... Are you ready? We have appointment in an hour. '

I heard someone in the background, She sounds like Anamika.

"Maa, I am tired of hospitals... I don't want to go, please."

She whined like a kid.

"No excuses, you are pregnant and I need to make sure that you both are healthy... Hurry up! "

She scolded like a mother would do.

Grace is actually safe with them.

"Go, get ready... Bye! "

I said.

"Bye, Vera! "

She responded and I disconnected the call.

Where is my sulking husband?

I placed the phone aside and walked towards the washroom. He is standing under the shower.

Warm water is running through the valley of his muscles. He is too hot to resist.

I wrapped my hand around his chest and hugged him from behind.

"What did she say? "

He asked while turning around in my hold.

He pulled me closer, drenching me along with him.

"I thought you are not interested"

I teased.

"When did I say that? "

I raised his eyebrows.

I chuckled.

"She asked me to tell you that she loves you and you are the best brother. "

He hummed and removed hair from my face.

"And what do you think that I think? "

He pulled my body closer and now we are flushed against each other, naked!

"I.. I"

My mind went foggy due to his closed proximity.

"You what? "

He leaned down and gently bit my lip making me gasp.

He smirked and slammed his lips on me. Before I realise, I was against the wall and he was deep inside me.
