Chris
Raven did her best to soothe me with her comforting touch after I stiffened up at Harry’s statement. It was the first time I truly regretted the way I severed ties with my old life. Harry only hadBabushkawith him as he had to care for Sofia while still raising Maxim as best as he could. The pain could have hardened my cousin even more, but instead, I recognized the love he embraced.
“For that, I am truly sorry, Chris.” The Harry I knew from two decades earlier would have never apologized for something like this.
The new Harry was definitely growing on me.
“There is no apology necessary, cousin.” I cleared my throat, trying to hold back the emotions that were threatening to choke me. “We’ve both done and said things that we regret. I, for one, think this should be a new beginning for us, regardless of what happens with our grandfather.” I leaned over the coffee table separating us and extended my hand for him to shake.
“Agreed.” He grasped my hand and shook it firmly before dropping it. “That takes us nicely into what we really need to discuss.”
“What did Bryan need to speak to Chris about so desperately he kidnapped Raven to get his attention?” It was rare for Caden to use such a stern tone. We’d all lost a few years of our lives after she’d been taken. Caden wouldn’t have any love for Bryan anytime soon. Not that I did either, but I had blood tying us together.
“Bryan is sick. Has been for about a year now. Lung cancer. He’s in the area for advanced treatment, but our grandfather is a realist and wants to get his affairs in order.” Harry sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “With the treatment, he has about a fifty-fifty shot. It can hopefully slow the growth and keep it from spreading while they work on shrinking the tumor.”
“Oh no,” Raven gasped and glanced up at me. Tears were already lingering in her stormy blue eyes. This woman had such compassion, even for those who have wronged her.
“Shit.” Caden cursed and regarded me. “I know that’s not an excuse for his methods. He could have called or dropped by the office. Cornered him in the parking garage. He didn’t need to take our woman.”
Damn right, he didn’t need to.
“No, he didn’t,” Harry replied. “And if it makes you feel any better, Babushkawalloped him good for it. I think he really regrets it, if for no other reason than that. Although, I do know that he took a shine to your woman. Thinks she’s perfect for you.”
“Damn right, I am,” Raven blurted out, then slapped a palm over her mouth. “Darn it.”
Harry burst into laughter, the sound deep and rough. It felt good to hear him laugh.
Our Little with the mouth control problem was perfect for me. For us. I was a lucky son of a bitch and I knew it.
I bent and brushed my lips over her ear. “You are perfect for me, little girl. Seeing your body last night made that even more true.”
“So, he wants to make amends with Chris or something?” Raven asked, quickly moving on before I could say more to make her blush.
“Yes, that’s what I’ve gathered.” Harry nodded before he let out a heavy sigh. “I can’t tell you what to do, Chris, but I know for myself, I’m doing this forBabushka. She’s been there for us, sacrificed for us. Raised me after my parents were killed, then raised you after the same. Volkovs stick together. We’re family now and forever. Whatever you decide, I’ll support you.”
“Now that I have you back Harry, you aren’t getting away.” I grinned through the pain of my past. “I want to be part of Sofia and Maxim’s lives as well. I think they could use Uncle Chris to spoil them.”
Harry inclined his head and returned my smile as he rose to his feet. “Come over this weekend. It’s Maxim’s birthday, and we’re having a big family dinner.”
I squeezed Raven’s hand and then joined him in standing.
There was an implication in his gaze and his words.
Bryan would be there.
I let out a deep exhale and looked back at Raven. She gave me a reassuring smile and nod.
Once again, I found myself in awe of this woman. Her strength and support. It was hard to believe we’d only known each other for a few short weeks.
“We’ll be there.” I pulled Harry in for a hug, and we thumped each other’s backs. “Thank you, cousin.”
“Volkovs stick together.”
Raven snuggled up on my chest, her head resting just over my heart. One hand splayed out over my ribs as her soft breath tickled my skin with every exhale. “Are you sure you’re okay?” She asked for what had to be the hundredth time.
I chuckled and kissed the top of her head. “Yes, I’m sure.” I let out a soothing exhale. “You give me the strength to do things I never thought I’d be able to do.”
She tilted her head up toward me so I could see her bright eyes. “We all make each other stronger.”
“We do.” I grasped her hand and brought it to my lips. “Now, you should get some sleep.”
“We should get some sleep.” She emphasized the we as she patted my stomach.
Her touch was innocent enough, but it set me on fire all the same. Having her near me, drawing in her enticing scent, was enough to make me hard as a rock. To feel her long fingers just inches from where I wanted them was pure torture.
“As you wish, kroshka.”
“I think something might be keeping you up all night.” She giggled at her own pun as her hand drifted lower. Her hand lingered just above the waistband of my sleep shorts. Damn it, was it her goal in life to tempt me constantly?
I broke off into a string of Russian as she continued her exploration, pushing her luck and wiggling two fingers just beneath the elastic. Fuck, I couldn’t take it anymore.
“Do you want Daddy A’s cock, little girl?” My voice was little more than a husky rasp.
“Yes, please, Daddy A. I want to touch it and make you come so you sleep better.” She kissed my chest, and her nose nuzzled along my heated flesh.
Fuck it, I needed her touch so desperately it was driving me insane with need. I needed her to ground me. Remind me of what I had the thing I wanted most in life.
Her.
I placed my hand on top of hers and guided it beneath my pants to wrap around my aching cock. The moment her fingers closed around my length, I let out a deep moan.
She gave me several firm strokes, and I bucked my hips. Her tight fist felt so good.
“That’s it, stroke Daddy’s cock.” I guided her to go faster and tighten her grip a bit more. Of course she was a natural at this. I didn’t even want to think about the other cocks she must have practiced on. She was ours now, and our cocks would be the only ones she’d be touching from now until eternity.
Her breathing increased, and she lifted her head from my chest to watch her fist on my cock.
I growled and shifted to slide my shorts down to expose my cock so we could watch.
Up and down, her hand moved as I whispered phrases in Russian. How much I loved her hands on my body. How good she felt against me. How I couldn’t wait to feel the warm, tight heat of her pussy surrounding my cock.
“Can’t wait to be inside of you, kroshka. I’ll make you feel so fucking good.”
“Yes, Daddy.” She moaned and sank her teeth into my flesh.
“Faster, baby girl.” Like a good girl, she followed my instructions, her hand moving up and down in a frantic rhythm as I chased my release. My balls drew up tight to my body, and white spots danced in my vision as I came in spurts over Raven’s hand.
A sound of satisfaction escaped my lips as her hand slowly moved up and down, drawing out every drop of cum from my body.
“Better?” Raven asked, her voice husky and her eyes filled with deep satisfaction.
“Fuck yes.” I gave myself a few seconds to relax and let the pleasure of climax sink into me before I rolled out of bed and moved to the bathroom. I returned to Raven with a warm, damp washcloth and cleaned her hand.
“Thank you.” She giggled again, looking damn pleased with herself.
I tossed the cloth back into the bathroom and climbed back next to her. She started to cuddle up next to me, but I shook my head. “I’m not done with you yet,” I growled and pushed her to the mattress and loomed over her. I placed scorching, open-mouthed kisses down along her neck to her breasts. She only had on a flimsy tank top and soft sleep pants.
Pushing down the straps of the tank, I continued my exploration of her body by kissing every inch of skin I exposed before taking one nipple into my mouth.
Raven tangled her fingers in my hair and arched her back to push her tits further into my touch and mouth.
I skated my palms down her sides and worked to push the fabric from her hips as she lifted and helped get the pants off.
“Chris.” My name left her lips on a desperate plea as I kissed down along her stomach before hovering over her pussy.
“It’s only fair that I repay the favor.”
