his body half on mine, his weight just enough to make me feel grounded and not trapped. His hands slid over my body, worshiping my breasts. His fingers slid over my mound, but it was a caress, not an attempt to get me to orgasm again.
When he shifted his weight onto me, pushing himself up on his elbows, I shifted too so that my body was underneath his. His body lay between my legs, and I pulled up my knees and wrapped my legs around his.
He thrust into me, and I moaned softly. Viktor kissed me again. Slowly, he started moving inside me. The movement was a caress the same way he had done with his hands. And this felt a hell of a lot more like making love than it felt like sex.
He picked up the pace, moving faster and faster. As he thrust into me, another orgasm began deep inside me. He reached down deep and stroked all the right parts, and when he was close to his own climax, moving faster and faster, I cried out, coming undone at the seams.
My pussy clamped down around him, and it was as if that sent him over the edge. We came together, wrapped up in each other, swept away by the sensation that we were completely and deeply connected.
Finally, after what felt like forever, floating on a different plane, we finally came down to reality. Viktor kissed me, and when he pulled out of me, he wasn’t completely hard anymore.
He rolled off me and lay next to me. He wrapped an arm around me, pulling me tightly against him. I put my head on his chest, and it felt like it had been made for me, a hollow where his chest met his collarbone that fit my head perfectly.
We lay together, enjoying just being. Neither of us said anything. There was nothing to say.
Who was this man? I barely knew him. And yet I felt safer and more secure when I was with him than I’d felt with any man in my life.
I should have feared him, for how rough he looked and how secretive he was. But where I’d felt terrified of men most of my life, when I was with Viktor, I felt guarded and safe.
I felt like I was home.
What was going to happen when I left? What was I going to do when I knew that this was possible? How would I ever find something like this again?
Viktor
Finally, the rain stopped for long enough that I could slip out of the cabin while Angela was asleep. I didn’t want to leave her alone, but I needed to check the satellites and figure out what was going on and why one of Maksim’s men was on my soil.
When I squeezed in through the crevice, I powered up the equipment. The batteries were running low. With so little sun, I wouldn’t be able to set them out to charge. Luckily, I could work with what I had for now.
The blip was in Grizzly Falls. No fucking doubt about it.
My stomach dropped.
Maksim was here.
I was about to power down again when the blip moved. I realized that he wasn’t in Grizzly Falls after all; he was higher up. Closer. He was right here.
The equipment gave out, the battery dying, and I swore.
I had to hurry. Angela was alone. And someone was in the woods, looking for me.
I got out into the open in record time and hurried to the cabin. I grabbed the gun I kept below the kitchen sink, tucked it into my pants, and set out to patrol the area. I didn’t have time to get more weapons. If I was lucky, it was just one man.
The trees were still wet with rain, the leaves dropping leftover drops to the forest floor, muffling my footsteps. But it made it harder to hear other footsteps, too. I kept my eyes peeled, looking for anything out of the ordinary.
Usually, I knew the forest like the back of my hand, but with the recent mudslides, the landscape had changed drastically, and I didn’t recognize anything anymore. Dark tree stumps or shrubs suddenly looked like looming shadows. Adrenaline pumped through my body, and I swallowed hard over and over again as I moved silently through the trees.
A shadow passed through a short distance ahead of me. He was bent over, crouching to stay hidden, and he was headed toward the cabin. He was smart; he’d chosen a difficult path. It
