NIKOLAI'S POV

I stare at her as she sleeps, her face resting against the window as the moonlight casts a soft glow on her face all while highlighting her features. I will not lie when I say it but this woman right here?

She's gonna be the death of me.

And that is something I cannot afford, not at any cost. It's just a contract marriage, no feelings whatsoever and once Dimitri Ivanov's threats are over? The dark cloud that is looming over the two of us and by the end of two years?

There will be no US, no Rhea and Nikolai.

Just Rhea Sharma and Nikolai Ivanov.

Two separate souls.

And I will make sure of it, she will hate me and I'll make sure that she does cause this is a marriage to protect her and not make love and babies with her.

RHEA POV

I enter his room and it's very huge, I come from a rich middle class family and we've worked hard to achieve what we have and I thought Nikolai was rich but I was wrong.

He's Wealthy.

I take in the surroundings, the floor-to-celing window, a private study attached with the bedroom, walk-in closet and if you walk towards the door next to the study? A huge swimming pool.

“Holy shit- This man can survive alone if there's a zombie apocalypse.” I mutter to myself.

The bathroom? That's a whole different, I enter as I gasp loudly, my hands on my mouth as I stare at the scene infront of me. The bathroom is opulence finished, the black and gold combination is breathtaking. This man? I'm bloody sure he can easily cover up the gdp of a few countries.

I change into comfortable clothes that we kept on the island, a pretty red velvet nighty. I freshen up and step out thinking he'll be out but haha? Is luck ever on my side? EVER?

He is sitting on the chair with his legs crossed and he staring at him with his poker face.

Joker.

“Umm, I think you should change too and then we can decide the sleeping arrangemen-”

“Strip.”

I stare at him in disbelief. That one word was enough to knock the air out of my lungs. I thought he would wait, wait for me to get comfortable and come around but this man is more impatient than me, and horny too~

"Not like you are complaining." My inner voice mocked me but well? She's correct this time.

Guilty.

“What?” I whisper but I clear my throat and speak again, “What?”

“You heard me. Strip or else I'll do it myself and trust me-” he locks his eyes with me, “that will be anything but pretty and comfortable, Zvezda.”

I look at him in pure shock. It must the events of the day and I must be imagining things and I'm sure as hell tired before I could respond, I am suddenly pinned against the wall and my legs are dangling around his torso and we are so close and I feel his hot breath on my lips and it's arousing.

“Nikolai-” I whisper but my words are cut off by his kiss.

His lips on mine, the kiss is anything but slow and passionate, it's hard and bruising as if he's pouring out everything in it.

I gasp but I quickly recover and kiss him back with the same fervour but I cannot match his speed or intensity at all.

Goosebumps erupt all over my body and I can't think straight, my mind is in a daze, the kiss is everything and I can already feel myself getting more and more hot.

I want, no, need more.

I moan and this bastard takes this as an invitation and he swirls his tongue with mine.

Tasting me.

Claiming me.

Marking me.

And God forbid, I never want this to end.

NIKOLAI POV

I thought she would struggle, punch, hell, I even thought she'd kick my family jewels but what I never thought was Rhea Sharma would reciprocate back to the kiss and the way her lips move around mine in a delicious rhythm?

I live for it and hell I'll break her and mould her and break her all over again.

Call me a Sadist but she's mine now.

Mine to do as I please.

I pull back and lets out a small whine as a protest. Cute.

We're both breathing heavily and I join my forehead with hers while staring into her eyes which are looking at me with love?

I shake my head and I start leaving open mouth kisses on her neck, starting from her jaw, down to her neck, collarbone.

“Who do you belong to, Zvezda?”

“Huh?”

I bite her neck and then suck on the same spot I bit, soothing the pain leaving a purple mark and I nibble her earlobe as I growl.

“I said Who. Do. You. Belong. To. Rhea?”

She looks at me with her doe eyes, trying to gauge my emotion but I give away nothing and upon not getting any reply, again, within a blink of an eye, she's bend over the table in the room and I yank her nighty up, exposing her perfectly round ass to me and she gasps, squirming, trying to hide herself but I hold her steady and run my knuckles over her exposed backside to which she shivers.

So soft.

I gently caress it before leaning down and I murmur darkly in her ears.

“You count till 10. Now.”

SPANK!

She gasps and I can see my fingerprint on her ass.

Mine, all mine.

I growl , “AGAIN!”

SPANK and lets out a strangled cry and I hit again and she counts this time.

“O-one” she speaks shakily

“Good Girl, now that wasn't so hard. Keep counting.”

I keep spanking her till she's a sobbing mess underneath me. I kneel down and press a soft kiss on both of her cheeks to which she shivers and I take a few steps back, admiring the work I've done before continuing.

“Sit on the table, facing me and legs open, as wide as you can and if you fail you comply? I'll add it in the next “punishment”. Clear, Zvezda?”

“I fucking hate you. Monster.”

“Now, that's a One.”

She glares at me and I smirk, unfazed by her cute attempt to scare me off. I watch her clenching and unclenching her fists before she reluctantly sits back down on the table and winces in pain.

I might've been a little too hard.

I smile as I saunter towards her before running my hands over her inner thighs, going close to her aching core and she moans, throwing her head back.

I tsk softly, “Tsk tsk tsk, look at you Zvezda, that was supposed to be a punishment but you? You're dripping wet Zvezda. I wonder why?" I say in a mocking tone

“F-fuvk y-you N-nikolai-” she moans out as I continue to rub teasing circles over her core.

“Oh, I will baby but patience.”

“Pl-lea-se N-nikolai-”

I smirk, “Please What, Zvezda? Use your words.”

“I need you to-to f-fuvk me-”

“As you wish, My lady.” I chuckle darkly before sliding one finger inside her and she moans, grinding herself against me and I'll be lying if I said I didn't enjoy this.

My cock? Well it's throbbing but I shove my thoughts aside and I continue to finger fuck her. I add another finger and she clutches the table corner tightly.

“F-faster please, ahhh- mhmmm-”

My eyes darken as she says that and I start rubbing my thumb over her while fingering her.

“Yes yes yes please, please I'm close-”

“Don't. You. Dare. Come.” I say firmly as I double my efforts and her eyes snap open and god, she looks absolutely beautiful.

Ethereal.

I swear I could see her tear streaked face and never get tired of it. I give her a sly smile while pumping in and out of her.

“Hold it for me and I might as well give you the privilege to come.”

She's panting and FUCK, the way she clenches herself around my fingers? Fuck, I wonder how she'll take my cock which is painfully hard.

“Pleaseee- I-i-just ahhh- please N-nikolai-”

“I'll ask you again. Who. Do. You. Belong. To.”

“Y-you-”

“Who?”

“Y-you, Nikolai, I belong to you.”

“Such a good girl.”

I fasten my speed, pumping in and out of her at a relentless pace and her legs are shaking and tits bouncing up and down of that nighty that she's wearing.

Damn it.

I wanna suck and bite them so bad.

“Come”.

She didn't need to be told twice. She moaned my name, as if chanting it and that's the only thing keeping her sane and she comes all undone on my fingers as her juices spill all over me and I keep pumping in and out of her till she calms down.

She looks at me with her tear streaked face as she tries to compose herself while breathing heavily.

I pull out her fingers and bring them to my mouth, licking it clean all whilst keeping my eyes locked with her.

“I fucking loathe you, Ivanov.”

“Really? But you just came on my fingers a few seconds ago, I can still taste you very much on my tongue, Zvezda.” I say in a condescending tone.

She glares at me but yelps as I suddenly pick her up and take her towards the bathroom, making her sit on the Island and I start cleaning her with a towel.

⋆｡‧˚ʚ🍒ɞ˚‧｡⋆

I stare at her as she's sleeping peacefully on the bed as the moon casts a soft, illuminating glow on her making her appear more beautiful than she already is.

I sigh softly and I stare at the ceiling at myself, mirror ceiling all while she's sleeping next to me on the bed with a pillow border that she insisted on creating.

So childish, as if she didn't come all over my hand.

I lie down and can't help but wonder,

“This was just a mistake. No love, no strings attached. Just get safety till Dimitri Ivanov is out of sight.”
