"I love it when you say my name, printsessa, how long has it been? Two-" "Three years." I snap unintentionally wishing I could take the words back. A sly grinspreads across his angelic-looking face, "You've been counting." He states in a cocky tone. I place my hands flat on his chest, and I shove him away. "Still a cocky son of a bitch I see." I hiss, hating the way he makes my body burn with fever. Slowly panting through my parted lips, I realise that he is shirtless, his gold skin and sinuous muscle put on full display for my eyes to feast upon. His eyes look darker than I remember, smouldering with carnal intent. The perfect curve of his lips etches with cruelty. He's so hot with lust and anger that it should be a crime. He's sin in human form and he makes me want to be a sinner. "And you're still a stuck-up printsessa holding a grudge." He snarls, throwing his hands in the air --- Today was meant to be one of the happiest days of my life. Today, I was turning twenty-one and everyone whom I love dearly has shown up to celebrate it with me. Including the one man in my life who should be off-limits; forbidden. Things quickly turn sour, the air smells of death, gun powder, and vengeance. CAUSING my heart to still with fear, loss, and panic. When I realise the one man I vowed to hate forever, is the one person I can rely on to keep me safe. I must build a wall around my heart, and pray like fuck, that he doesn't break through it. My name is Zeynep Volkov, and this is my story about survival, deception and a love triangle that no one saw coming.

My blood is pulsating with sensual ecstasy; pleasure as I have never experienced before.
I want to tell him that I'm coming, but I can't with his hand clamped over my mouth, silencing our forbidden activities.
My eyes start to roll in the back of my head, while the delicious sensation of pressure building in the pit of my stomach consumes me.
Against my better judgement, I start to ride his fingers, desperately seeking my release.
"So hot, and wet for me, printsessa..." He growls into my hair as his hot lips graze the hard shell of my ear. "Happy birthday."
My chest rises and falls vigorously as his velvet-like voice licks my pulsating flesh that burns with love for him, and him alone.
He is the only male that has the power to consume me entirely without even knowing it.
Dmitri Orlov is the adopted son of Aunt Ana and Uncle Viktor. He is three years older than me, and what he is doing to me should be a crime.
But can it really be perceived as a crime, if I was the one that practically begged him to give me my first orgasm?
He came stumbling through his bedroom door, wreaking of Vodka after he had abruptly left the dinner table earlier tonight.
He and Uncle Viktor exchanged a few words between themselves during my celebration feast.
The one he insisted on me having.
As he stood from the table, he cast me an apologetic glance with so many raw emotions flickering in his dark irises, that always reminded me of spilt black ink.
He sighed as his lips drew into a cruel thin line that I knew wasn't meant for me.
Dmitri is incapable of hurting me. Physically that is, but he holds all the power to emotionally destroy me.
Loving him was like a virus on my heart, he made me sick when he wasn't by my side, and he made me weak in the knees whenever he would touch me.
As he stumbled out of his ensuite after taking a hot shower, I was sitting on the foot of his bed, my fingers twisting on my lap with my head dipped.
I wanted to know if he was okay, and if the rumours of him leaving for Russia to learn the ropes on how to run Diamond Ridge Contractors were true.
As it will remain in his custody until my father decides what to do with it.
"Printsessa?!" He said my name like a prayer and it sent a plague of goosebumps to erupt over my entire body. "What are you doing in my room at this time of the morning?" Concern laced his words.
"Is it true?" I asked in a hushed tone.
He crouched before me, cupping my face in his large hands, and he forced me to meet his gaze.
"Is what true?"
"That you are leaving? Are you leaving for Russia?" Tears brimmed my eyes as I desperately swallowed the lump that had lodged itself in my throat.
He exhaled roughly through his nose, the pad of his thumb grazed my cheekbone, and his eyes softened. "Da, my father is forcing me to go." His voice was rough and full of bitterness.
A sob broke free from my lips as the pain of my heart shattering, thrummed through my core like a blood-thirsty parasite.
"You can't go..." I sobbed, covering my face with my hands. "If you leave me, I will have no one, you are the only person that gets me, D." I couldn't control the shuddering of my shoulders that followed.
"I know, but it is for the best."
I dropped my hands and I gazed into his eyes with astonishment. "How can you say that? It has always been me and you against the world."
His mouth twisted as he pinched his brows together with his eyes still trained on mine, "That is exactly why I have to leave, Zee. You and me... It's never going to work." He said sternly as if he was trying to convince himself that what he just said made sense; it didn't, not to me anyway. "I am too old for you. We have been brought up like siblings from the very start, and our parents would never agree."
"But... I love you."
"And I love you. I shouldn't, but I do, and my father can see how much I adore you. He is sending me to Russia for my safety; from your father."
"I... I don't know what I will do without you," I hiccuped, wiping the tears that stained my cheeks with heartache, rejection and despair.
He examined my blue eyes intently, as he searched for something to which I was oblivious.
"Don't speak like that," His vodka-stained breath fanned my face. "You are going to grow up and become this amazing woman who will have the world wrapped around her pinky, then you will meet a man that will be more deserving of your affection than I could ever be."
I watched as his Adams' apple bobbed up and down in the column of his neck.
"I... I just thought that you and I would always be together and that you would give me my first orgasm." I shamelessly stated.
He leaned back on the balls of his feet, "You know I can't, printsessa. I am undeserving of such a gift," He growled as he rose to his full height with just a towel wrapped around his narrow waist.
He combed his fingers through his thick dark hair, "I think you should leave before I do something that I can not take back," He said coldly as he turned away from me.
I stood up, swallowing thickly, "It's my birthday," I spat out, "And instead of giving me the one thing that I have always wanted from you, you are breaking my heart instead." I stated coldly through gritted teeth, "You are right, you are undeserving of me, and I am such a fool to have expected more from you. Go to Russia and never return, I fucking hate you!!"
I stormed toward his door, then unexpectedly found myself being pushed up against the cool timber.
His front was pressed against my back. "Liar!" He snarled, "You could never hate me..."
His hand slowly glided up my thigh, the tips of his fingers brushed against my sex, and I instantly went lax against him.
"I shall force my heart to forget you, and you will cease to exist in my mind."
A low growl swept through the room, "Forgive me,' He snarled, wrapping a hand over my mouth as his fingers dipped into my silky underwear, "I am a selfish bastard and I can not let you forget about me so easily. Your first orgasm belongs to me..." He hissed as he strummed my clit like he was playing the guitar.
"Come for me, printsessa, give in and gift me your orgasm...." He orders, interrupting my train of thought and bringing me back to the present; the here and now with him.
And on his command, I tumble over the edge, seeing flashes of white light that shine brilliantly in my eyes as I gift Dmitri Orlov my very first orgasm.
The world is very good at inflicting pain on me.An agony that is so intense that there is nothing else.Darkness engulfs me, blinding me.I’m dying. I just know it.I’ve fought a good fight in my life, and everything I have been subjected to; forced to endure is nothing like this. Only death can feel like this.No matter how much I will myself to keep on fighting, there just isn’t anything left in me to keep going.I ache all over. Every muscle in my body has been robbed of its strength, and I can feel myself sinking deeper into the endless sea of darkness.Dmitris’ face flickers before me.His voice fills my ear canals, stroking my feverish flesh like velvet.Then I think of Leo, how he did right by me, and how my heart slowly began to open up and let him in. He loves me fiercely, and I know if I give up, he will have Wolf by his side.Wolf, looks like Amani. He has a gentle soul and the day Ivan brought him home, he has thrived beyond our wildest dreams. Proving himself to everyon
FORTY-EIGHT HOURS LATER: Lifting my hand with my heart hammering in my chest and butterflies fluttering in the pit of my stomach, I knock on Leos’ office door. I wait a few breaths before the door is pulled open by one of his men. As his gaze falls on me, he steps to the side to allow me to enter, and when Leo sees me, he rises to his feet from behind his desk, buttoning the front of his charcoal suit jacket. He clears his throat, “Leave us.” Without any hesitations or questionable expressions marring their features, all fifteen of his men exit the room in utter silence. “Bella, what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?” He smiles as he walks around his desk, cupping my face in his hands, and places a gentle kiss on the top of my head. Since we have been married, Leo has not made any attempt to pressure me into filling my duties as his wife or so much as tried to kiss me on the lips. He has been very patient with me, giving me all the space I need, as well as sleeping in the room
TWO MONTHS LATER:Three weeks have passed since I arrived in Sicily, accompanied by Leo, my husband. It has been four weeks since we exchanged our vows and became one. Fortunately, Leo had kept his promise and ensured that our wedding was a small and intimate affair, just as I had requested.The sole attendees of our union consisted exclusively of the distinguished members of the Elite Family's leadership. The only witnesses and approvers of our holy matrimony were the ones we deemed necessary; those of the inner circle that influenced a wider spectrum. As we sat across the table, I knew that our reputation was on the line. Our coming together was questioned.The rumours of a feud between Leo and myself had spread like wildfire, threatening to tarnish our image as a united front. But I was determined to set the record straight. With a confident smile, I spoke of our shared vision and unwavering commitment to success. As I looked over at Leo, I knew that we were more than just a co
As I continue to helplessly stare after Dmitris’ fading figure, I collapse to my knees-my right knee hitting the wet concrete ground first, then, my left. Pain disperses across the hard balls of my kneecaps, but the foreboding pain of heartbreak that continues to seep into the roots of my heart outweighs any other pain my body is slowly trying to register.He left me.In the rain.Crying.Heartbroken.Alone.I hate him!I fucking hate him with everything I have and I hope he crashes on his stupid bike that makes him look smoking hot!Covering my face with my hands, I burst into tears.I don’t hate him.I could never hate him.I love him so fucking much that I would die for him.I’d kill for him.Why does loving someone hurt so much?Is this what men mean when they say that love is the greatest weakness one can possess?It can be one’s downfall until there is no return.“Time will heal your broken heart, cara mia. But first, you need to push through the pain and accept Dmitris’ decisi
My heart feels like it is shattering into a million pieces for the last and final time as I intently gaze at Dmitri. The look of unwavering disbelief tainting his features makes my stomach churn. Gods, I feel sick. I’m so torn between doing what is right and disregarding everything just to be with the one person who makes my heart whole. Both Dmitri and Leo have one thing in common. They never let anyone get close enough to see the real them. No one aside from me anyway. I jolt the second he takes one step toward me, his eyes blazing with rage. “If he is forcing you to make this oath with him, decline it now, and we will get the hell out of here.” He whispers roughly as he turns his head to the side to mask his words from Leo. Sighing, I shake my head, trying to rein in my runaway heartbeat. “He isn't D. When he presented me with the proposal, at first, I laughed, then I became enraged, and finally, I realised where he was coming from. Marrying Leo ensures our safety. Marrying Leo
Leo slicks back his hair, still damp from the shower, and squares his shoulders as he locks eyes with Dmitri. The air in the dimly lit room is heavy with tension as the two men stand face to face, their eyes locked in a deadly stare-down. The atmosphere is charged with danger as they wait for the other to show weakness and submit to their dominance. I know for certain that Dmitri will not lower his gaze first, especially since he is slowly removing his jacket. I also know that Leo won't back down either, and I find that incredibly alluring. I underestimated him right from the start, but now I see the fire in his eyes and the power he holds. I won't be making that mistake ever again. “If this clown shoots Dmitri, the deal is off,” I state firmly, reminding them both that I am still present. “D, you can put your jacket back on, this isn’t a pissing contest.” Church keeps his gun raised, paying no attention to me as he clears his throat and moves closer to Dmitri. I step out
