Bonus Chapter 1 — Prom night

Nevaeh:

“You look beautiful, princess,” Mikhail whispers in my ears as we sway to the music. I hold tightly to his shoulders and close my eyes as he places kisses across my neck and shoulder. I can’t believe it’s prom night and I’m in my boyfriend’s arms.

So many things have changed for me over the past year. Nine months ago, I was just a lonely girl with a messed-up family who dreamt of a beautiful angel loving me.

Who knew that my boyfriend would turn out to be that angel? Or that I’d find my soulmate? Definitely, not me.

“I love you,” I pull my head back and mutter against Mikhail’s chin as he rains kisses across my face.

His lip quirks. “I love you too,”

Our lips meet at that moment. His intoxicating taste is so heady that I can’t help but cling tightly to his shoulders.

“Alright, love birds, break it up.” Rowan pushes Mikhail’s shoulder with a snicker.

Mikhail rolls his eyes and pushes him back. “What are you doing, asshole? Shouldn’t you be hunting the lonely girls in the corner? I mean, that’s the reason you’re going stag for prom, isn’t it?”

Rowan points at his chest with feigned outrage. “I had to alone, bro. I couldn’t deprive the ladies of all of this.” He gestures down at this lean, muscular frame and angelic face.

Leaning my head on Mikhail’s shoulder, I giggle in response. “Oh my gosh, you are so conceited.”

Rowan shrugs. “Hey, it’s not my fault that all the girls love me.

Mikhail appraises his brother from head to toe and releases a derisive snicker. “Yeah, okay. Then you better get back to what you’re doing and let me dance with my girl.”

“Let’s go get something to drink, princess.” Mikhail leads me to a nearby table and hands me a drink.

I take a sip and look around the ballroom. The marble floor is packed with students. Some are dancing or hanging out with friends. Jez is on the other side of the dance floor, making out with her date. Those two have not stopped since we got here.

My peach dress gleams like a pearl beneath the dim light as I shift nervously in place. I have a surprise for Mikhail tonight. I asked my friends to decorate my bedroom for a romantic interlude tonight. They placed decorative lights all over the walls, flower petals on the bed, and silky curtains around the windows. I also bought something sexy for him.

Leaning close, I kiss his jaw and whisper. “Let’s get out of here.” Mikhail frowns. “Why? Are You bored, princess?”

I shake my head as I take his hand in mine. “We’ve already danced and made merry with our friends. I want the rest of the night to be for us. Come one, I have a surprise for you.”

He gives me a questioning look as he lets me lead him out of the ballroom.

Once we’re in the hellcat, I help him out of his jacket and unravel his bow tie. He quirks a brow as I slowly unbutton his shirt sleeves and roll them up. “Are you seducing me, princess?” He huskily mutters.

I give him a sexy smile as I move close and nip at his ear. His body shudders at the contact, and his eyes glaze with desire. “Take us to my house,” I whisper in his ear.

Mikhail nods his head and starts the engine.

Soft music reverberates through the car’s interior, creating a sensual atmosphere. I know that I should wait until we get home, but I really need to touch him. Sliding my shoes off, I slide my dress up my thighs and get sit up on my knees. Mikhail frowns, but before he can ask anything, I place several kisses across his neck and ears. His jaw pops, and his breathing becomes erratic with every nip of my tongue and teeth against his sensitive lobe. Keeping his eyes forward, Mikhail slides his hand around my neck and shudders. “Fuck, princess, you’re getting me all worked up.”

Ignoring his words, I slide my hand down his chest and unbutton his shirt to his navel. His breath hisses at the feel of my hand sliding inside his shirt, and I caress his abs.

“Do you like that?” I whisper in his ear.

Mikhail growls. “You know, I do. God, baby, you’re driving me crazy.”

I kiss the corner of his lip as I continue my trek up to his chest and shoulders.

It doesn’t take long to get to my house, but considering how worked up Mikhail is, it probably feels like a lifetime.

Once we reach my home, Mikhail unbuckles our seatbelts and carries me inside. I don’t hesitate to crush my lips against his. Our breaths mingle, and our bodies shift with anticipation as he carries me to my bedroom.

He’s so strong and beautiful that it takes my breath away. Mikhail sets me down but keeps his lips against mine as he begins to unzip my dress. I sift my fingers through his hair and bite his bottom lip before I slip out of his arms.

Mikhail continues to seek my lips in protest. “Please, babe, hold on a minute,” I murmur playfully.

Mikhail takes a step back and inhales deeply.

I lick my lips and wave my hand around the room.

Mikhail looks around the decorated room, his eyes taking in the romantic flameless candles, rose petals, and sensual music, then focus back on mine. “Is this for me, princess?”

I nod my head shyly. “Sit down, babe. I have a surprise for you.”

Mikhail bites his lower lip and takes a seat at the end of the bed.

I give him a shy smile as I approach, turn on a slow song with my cell phone, and continue to slide off my dress. Mikhail’s eyes heat with desire as the dress slowly slides down my chest and hips until it reaches the floor.

“Oh, shit.” He groans out as he takes in my pink lace bra, lace panties, and thigh-high stockings.

“Do you like it?” I shyly ask.

Mikhail rises from his perch and circles around me. His nostrils flare with desire, and his fists tighten as he runs his gaze appraisingly across my body. “You’re perfect, princess.” H reaches forward and slides his hand around my waist, making me quiver. Sliding my hands up his chest, I push his shirt off and kiss his naked chest.

The kiss intensifies, our tongues swirling and seeking. Mikhail’s hands wander down my back and unclip my bra. I arch my back, mewling with pleasure as his fingers graze my nipples and his lips kiss their way down my neck until he reaches my breasts. Sliding my fingers through his hair, I close my eyes when he nips at my swollen nubs.

Eventually, all of our clothes end up on the floor, and we end up on the bed. My hands claw down his muscled back, and my body undulates beneath his as he strokes in and out of my heated center. His hips pump faster as we attempt to reach our climax, and his moans mingle with mine until we’re both crying out with pleasure.

Our bodies glisten with sweat, and our chests heave with our exertions as we lie back on the bed. I rest my head on his naked shoulder and rest my thigh over his with contentment as we both take a couple of deep breaths.

Mikhail kisses the top of my head, tucks me close, and whispers. “I love you so much, princess.”

Sleep threatens to overwhelm me, but before I close my eyes, I whisper. “I love you too.”

Life has definitely gotten better for me.
