He was my own brand of drug. And just like a drug, I’d have to break this addiction to him. Eventually. Because When Lucas Bateman comes I'm gonna run again, I don't think I have cultivated that courage to face him yet. My heart skittered around inside my chest. Reaching for his lips, I kissed him softly. It would be the kiss I’d remember forever. The kiss that would ultimately break my heart, because it would remain sealed in my mind for as long as I shall live. His hand curled around my waist, his hard body pressing against mine. “You are mine,” he rasped, a dark possessiveness vibrating in his voice. “From the moment I saw you, Moya Roza.” There goes my heart. The shower was still running and whatever restraint he had over himself over the last few minutes broke. He closed the space between our bodies, enclosing me as mu own person heat pack. His mouth molded against mine, heating up throughout my body all over again. My hungry fingers moved all over his b

Two days holed up in this house.On this beach. This house is a cage in the form of paradise and surrounded by a dreamy blue ocean.I was ready to scream. Except I’d done that already, at Roman’s men, my guards. A lot of good it did me. I couldn’t lose my shit with Sasha and Callie still around. He was Roman's best mate and after what happened on the beach between them, I can't just go and call her to my room, I need to let them have their space at the other annex of the house. If that was even possible.I felt like a caged animal. Anxiety and tension boiling under my skin. I needed to burn off some of this energy and this room wasn’t big enough.I needed a million miles, not ten miles between Roman and me at this moment.I attempted to leave the beach to go shopping, but I was told no. When Callie and I wanted to go to see some old friends, we were stopped and told it wasn’t a good time.I dialed up my bella, planning on getting her to join us, but before I could even say fi

My body screamed for him, each cell in me demanding I get my relief. Maybe I waited too long, years of not feeling anything and using my rules. Or maybe I have been waiting for this man and my body recognized him before my mind did. I just knew I needed him, all consequences be damned. This man, my husband, was lighting the flame in me.The taste of him became my necessity.My lips parted and Roman’s eyes lowered to them, the fire in them matching the one flaming within me.He didn’t move. He sat there, waiting, his hands seemingly relaxed but there was so much aura rolling off of him.As if he wanted to give me the choice. But there was none, because I was scared I’d burn out like a flame without him.I wanted his touch to keep burning.He said he wanted my everything - to have my body and my soul - but then the Dictator would demand a soul, wouldn’t he? Except part of me wanted to go to sleep and wake up with his body next to mine.I wanted to give him everything I've got.Th

Once his clothes joined mine on the floor, my eyes took him in. Nobody, and I mean nobody, had better abs than Roman.And those tattoos on his chest and his arms, covering his golden skin tempted me from the moment I’d met him.“Stand up,” he said in a hard demand in his voice. He jerked me upwards, spread my legs and pulled me close. My pussy was next to his face.I braced myself with a hand on his shoulder, his hands digging into my butt and his face buried in my pussy. Fire ignited like a volcano, his mouth sucked and licked, nipping at my clit. My skin full of need. My nails dug into his shoulder and I rolled my hips against his mouth. He was killing me, stealing my breath - and sanity. And I couldn’t have been happier about it.Before the release shot through me, he grabbed my hips, slid me onto his lap and slammed inside of me.A choked cry escaped me. He stilled, his eyes darkening and burning hot. I was still tender and sore.“I’m sorry,” he murmured softly. His h

Anger flared within me. All those wonderful feelings of just moments ago, gone in a flash. An annoyance that he’d think he could lock me down like that replaced them in an instant. “You said this was temporary, and it needed to happen for me to survive.” His jaw ticked, a pissed off expression flashing in his eyes. “Nothing about us is temporary. And I’d never said it was temporary. You assumed it was.” “You- you… Roman aghhh” I couldn’t find the right word to use for what ever stunt he was pulling now. “If that’s how it’s going to be between us, I want a divorce, will you give me that?” “There will be no divorce from me, Zolotse. If you’re tired of me. Go to bed,” he told me with a smirk. “We’ll try again tomorrow.” “It’s fucking three in the afternoon,” I pointed out annoyed. “I’m not the napping kind.” His lips tugged up in a smile. “Maybe you can start taking naps. After all, I hear it’s good for pregnant women.” “I. Am. Not. Pregnant.” My teeth clench

The sun shone through the large French doors.The warm glow against my skin had me smiling in my sleep and reaching for my husband. We slept together last night.With him holding me saying. “ we will never be apart”Contentment filled me. Yes, there were still things that needed resolving but we were headed in the right direction. I had no doubt we’d get there. Our paths hadn’t crossed for us to be torn apart.I felt his hand roaming my body, his rough palms against my soft skin had become a different kind of comfort I had come to crave. His thumb brushed against my bottom lip. I parted my mouth, then licked his finger and sucked on it.“Moya Roza,” he grunted, his big body covering mine. The rasp of his voice caressed my skin, his mouth skimmed over my neck and then he kissed me. I melted against his body, running my hands over his muscles.“My Dictator,” I murmured against his mouth. My heartbeat hummed in happiness. In rhythm with his, and I’d have died a happy woman at t

ANA During an intense fight on the tv screen where I'm trying to get over the fact that Roman's club was blown apart my phone starts to ring.“Shit,” I whisper. Grabbing my handbag, I dig the device out so I can silence it, but when I see Danielle’s name on the screen, I answer and say, “Give me a minute.”I give Zoran an apologetic look before I get up and quickly leave the Couch to the kitchen.The music is still loud as I walk down a hallway, and holding the phone to my ear, I say, “What’s up?”“Yo- need t-.”“Hold on, the reception is bad,” I mutter, hoping she can hear me.The call is disconnected, and once I reach the balcony and make sure all the guards are gone, I dial Danielle’s number while stepping out on of the house.“Hey, can you hear me?” her voice comes clearer over the line.“Yeah. Why are you calling?”Jesus, it’s a bit cold. I should’ve worn a sweater.“Shit went down. Men came looking for you and when Lucious confronted them, the fuckers shot him.”“What?” I ga

ROMAN When it feels like I've done what was needed to the Rice family.I get up and head out to my car and call Ana to see if she’s okay.As I call the house phone, she doesn't answer.I say goodbye to Sasha and have Dimitri drive home.

Unconscious guards laying everywhere, and the phone starts ringing again.“Fuck,” I gasp, and ignoring the device.Seeing blood pooling beneath the side he’s lying on, shock vibrates through me. I dig my cell phone out and call 911, telling them to get an ambulance to my house.Glancing around to make sure there’s no immediate danger I have to deal with, I push Zoran onto his back, which has him groaning

ROMAN An hour later, I walk into the interview room in the police station.Gloria’s haunted eyes meet mine.I glance up at the police officer standing by the door. “I would like a few minutes with her.”Carl nods and closes the door behind him, leaving me with her.I take a seat at the other side of the table opposite her.I stare into her eyes as my eyes hold hers.She drops her head in shame. “I’m sorry, Roman. But I don't regret it, if for the very least I get your attention for a few weeks, I'm at peace.” she whispers.I stare at her. She’s so pitiful, and my stomach twists. “Gloria.”She keeps looking at the floor.“Look at me.”She lifts up her eyes up to meet mine.“Why did you do that to me?”Her eyes fill with tears. “I’m scared you'll leave now that your uncle is dead I know you won't come to Russia to see me that stupid American woman has all your attention, Rome, you were mine first.” “Stop it, Gloria” I shout at her“I’m pregnant with no money.”I frown. “There i

ANA“And you are so quick to judge, Ana. Unlike you, I’m not sleeping and married to the Minister. I don’t get to have special treatment.”Roman’s eyes narrow. “Leave. Now”“You’ll regret this,” Holmes spits back at us.Roman’s cold eyes hold his. “I think we both know who’ll regret this.” Roman takes up my hand and we walk down the corridor. He takes out his phone and calls up Dimitri.“Dimitri, change of plans. I’m returning to the office immediately. Reschedule the rest of my meetings.”He leads me out to the waiting car, and we get into the back seat.The car pulls out into the traffic. Roman makes a call.I hold Roman’s hand in my lap, but he’s too angry to even notice. He’s glaring out of the window as he silently fumes.But that’s okay. I notice.I’ve got him in my hand, and I’m never letting go. As long as we’re together, I don’t care about the rest of the world or the lies that they tell.We’ve got each other, and that’s everything.+++++++++++++ROMAN I’m sitting w

Chapter 141 The car pulls up at the press conference in Miami, and I practically jump from the car. I came straight here. I wanted to tell Roman the good news myself. I walk into the packed hall and stand at the back of the crowd. Roman is on stage, standing at a small podium and delivering a speech. “As you can see…” He glances up and sees me standing at the back. A frown crosses his brow, and I smile as I go up onto my toes with excitement. He regains his focus and goes back to his speech. I tap my toes, waiting for him to finish. Come on. Hurry up. I’m bursting at the seams to tell him the good news. He didn’t do it. He never went there, he never slept with her the happiness beams out of me. I feel so good being the person who found out the truth. Eventually, he says the words I’ve been waiting to hear. “Thank you all for coming today. I look forward to a long and prosperous relationship. Education is key for our future.” Everyone claps, and I smile proudly.
Maddest Temptation Chapter 140
Chapter 140A man walks down the hall and out of sight. Two women walk out of a room and get into the elevator.The elevator opens, and we see a Dimitri struggling with someone. He puts his arm around Rome to help him.“Roman,” I gasp out loudHe’s so out of it, highly intoxicated, drunk and unable to walk alone.Then Dimitri walks into his room with him, and then he walks back out alone after another minute.“So, that part of the story is true,” I whisper.Callie smiles and taps my leg. “Told you.”Estella speeds up the footage and we all sit and watch. She goes forward one hour… then two, and then three.“This has to be, like, midnight by now.” I frown waiting for the exact moment.Estella points to faint numbers at the bottom of the screen. “That’s the time there. It’s 11:21 p.m almost a new day, do you see?”“Yes, okay.”A man walks down the corridor and looks left and right, eventually stopping in front of Roman’s door. Estella puts the footage on the big screen.We all s
Maddest Temptation Chapter 139
Chapter 139I widen my eyes and I want to say, I know that for sure, but I won’t. “How would she have set him up, though?”She thinks for a moment. “She had the drinks spiked, got him to his room, had him open his phone, and she called her own number from his phone.”“Yes,” I whisper. “She could have done that, couldn’t she? I hadn’t even thought of that, she could have entered his bedroom as a relative.”“She could have left all the evidence to make him think that he did it.”“But surely.” My heart drops. “Surely she would know that we would find out who the father is as soon as the baby is born.” My shoulders slump. “What if it is his baby? What if this is all some grand plan to tie Roman to her for life?”“It could be.” Callie sighs, and we stare at each other for a while. “If we just had the security footage of that night at the hotel. I know Holmes asked the hotel for it, but they said there wasn’t any.”I frown that's impossible even the cameras on the Road. “There has

ANAI wake with a strange sensation.It’s morning, and the other side of the bed is cold, and empty and without Roman.I sit up instantly, my senses awake and on high alert.I make my way downstairs, where I can hear a muffled voices coming from Roman’s study. I move down the hall to listen.“Yes,” he says. “That’s right, the arrest warrant has been withdrawn.”Gloria.My heart begins to beat hard. Why did he have the arrest warrant removed?Nobody is looking for her.“You know what to do,” he says calmly.My eyes widen.I push the open the door in a rush to get to Roman.When he steps back, shocked to see me. He’s fully dressed in his crisp suit, ready for work.“What are you doing here?” he asks sharply.I stare at him, confused. “What are you doing?” I ask rhetorically He marches down the hall. His overnight bag is packed by the front door, not looking like it's filled with clothes.“where are you going?” I say as I run after him.“I have to go away for work for a few day
Maddest Temptation Chapter 137
We walk out to the front of the house. “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Petrov,” Zoran says, holding the back door open. Roman takes my hand to help me in.“Hello, Zoran.” I smile as I get into the back seat, and Roman gets in behind me. The door closes, and we sit in silence throughout the drive.I get vivid recollections of how much Roman Petrov could infuriate me back in the day. Nobody could wind me up like him.Nothing’s changed.Calm, calm, keep fucking calm.The car pulls up at the ballroom. We get out, and Roman takes my hand. We fake more smiles and walk through the crowd as if we are the happiest couple in the world.“Where are our seats?” Roman whispers, passing me a champagne from a passing tray.“What’s wrong, darling?” I whisper, taking a sip. “Tired of holding my hand?”His angry eyes flick over to me. “I am, actually.”I glare at him, our eyes locked. “Please, don’t act happy on my behalf.”“Wouldn’t be the first time I’ve acted happy now, would it?”Adrenaline begins t
Maddest Temptation Chapter 136
ANA I sit in the cafe waiting for Callie.I keep going over what Roman said to me before he left. You made me do it alone.I hate that he sees it like that.He had an issue and I locked him out and made him face the problem alone. But our sex life was never the problem.But I did make him feel like the problem was only his?Then, being the stubborn woman that I am, I got so resentful that I locked him out of our room in return?Both of us not speaking and sleeping in separate beds. I exhale heavily. Well, I’m too angry at his stage to even think about it anymore. I’m not letting him turn this around on me.I haven’t done anything wrong.I never once said that I was blaming him for this.I only think that he should have told me the facts at the time in which they happened. And how dare he say that I’m making him face this alone when it was his choice not to tell me about it or involve me in the first place? He chose to do this alone, not the other way around.Seriously, is ope
Maddest Temptation Chapter 135
ANAMy stomach rolls.It makes me feel sick.I think for a moment.I'm still waiting for her to threaten us with a child.It's just been a few months since we saw her.She could be one of those women who don't show a bump in the early stages of pregnancy.Or the child could be for Vladamir.I just need it to be Vladamir's child.But Rome won't abandon his nephew either nor would I want him to.Can a DNA paternity test be taken while pregnant or do you have to wait for the baby to be born?Hmm. I grab my phone and type into Google:Can a paternity test be taken while still pregnant?DNA testing can be completed as early as 9 weeks along. Technological advancements mean there's little risk to mom or baby. If establishing paternity is something that you need to do, non-invasive prenatal paternity test is a blood test that analyzes fetal DNA found in a pregnant woman's blood during the first trimester.Shit, it’s just a blood test. That should be easy enough.I type into Google:Can a pre
