The Romanov's Pursuit (11 page)

To prove his point, he pushed her legs further apart, splitting her pussy lips open to expose the juicy pinkness inside. Drops of dew slithered down her thigh. She could protest all she wanted but her body always told the truth. He eased his middle inside of her. “Yes, just as I expected. Wet and ready for me. You see, Nya, you can cry foul play all you’d like but this is just a game that you play so that you won’t have to admit the truth: you want me as much as I want you. But you need me to play the monster so when it’s all said and done you can pretend that I made you. So how about we perform a little experiment, shall we?”

Cutter positioned himself behind her and inserted just the tip of his cock inside of her channel.

She inhaled sharply. There
w

no sharp words from her lips.
Instead
,
Cutter could see that her eyes were tightly shut and she seemed to be waiting in anticipation for more.

It took every ounce of the little willpower he had left not to slam all the way into her cunt, but he just managed to hold on. Then with a snap of his fingers, he released her from the spell. “Okay, Nya. Fight me. Do what you said you would. Scratch my eyes out.”

Her eyes popped open and the disoriented look in her told him that she wasn’t sure what he was talking about but when she moved her head, Nya must have realized she could move again. Cutter half expected her to attack him as she’d threatened earlier but instead, she gritted her teeth and shoved her lips back causing him to sink deeper into her pussy.

Simultaneous
gasps
left their lips and Nya began to work her hips, but Cutter wasn’t going to let her have it all her way. He gripped her by the ponytail and wrapped her hair around his fist and giving it a hard tug. “Oh, no you don’t, solnyska. I’m a monster, remember? And monsters take their pleasure without the consideration of their partners. And with that he brought his hand down on her ass so hard she screamed.

He ignored her cry of pain as he spanked her again, timing it to his thrusts.

“You bastard!” Despite her words of anger, her muscles tightened around his cock, practically holding it hostage. If she continued this, he wouldn’t be able to hold out for much longer. With each
stroke
,
he slapped her ass over and over again. It turned him on to see her fat ass jiggle each time his hand connected with it. With her pussy gripping his cock in a vice, he was so aroused that he went harder and faster, dominating and claiming her for his.

“Admit it Nya, you want this, don’t you?” Cutter slowed down just enough to pull out of her until only the tip remained inside and then he slammed back inside of her.

“Go to hell!”

That was it.

He pulled out of her and began to spank her pussy. Her already sensitive flesh was swollen and tender from his erotic assault.

“Tell me you want this or I swear I will stop and won’t let you cum.”

“I hate you,” she whispered.

“Too bad your body doesn’t.”

He yanked on her hair again, this
time
,
harder than before. “Tell me.”

“My body wants you, but my heart and soul never will.”

He was so close to coming that at this point that was good enough. He needed to be back inside of her. He slid back into her cunt just in time to fill her with his seed. This must have sent her over the edge because she began to shake and convulse. She let out a loud scream, but Cutter was certain this one was of pleasure.

He stilled once his balls were completely empty. It took several moments for Cutter to recover and when he finally did, Blade’s ominous words came back to haunt him. Ashamed that he’d taken Nya so callously, he rolled away from her and slid off the bed. There were no words adequate enough or to justify what he’d just done. Too ashamed to even look her in the eye, he grabbed his clothing and headed out the room. Blade stood by the door when he walked out but Cutter wasn’t in the mood to hear I told you so.

He was certain now that if they had made any progress with Nya, he’d just ruined it.

Chapter Ten

Blade didn’t bother to stop his brother as he stormed out of the room. When Cutter lost his temper he was pretty difficult to reach and sometimes it was best to let him cool off before trying to reason with him. It would have done him no good to dissuade him from his plan once he’d set his mind to it which is why he had waited outside of the bedroom, listening in to make sure he didn’t do any real harm to Nya.

He stepped into the room to see Nya rested on her side. She was very still, not moving a single muscle. Blade spotted a mixture of Cutter’s and Nya’s fluids dripping down her thighs. Blade headed to the bathroom and retrieved a warm damp washcloth and walked over to where Nya lay.

Gently he turned her
onto
her back. He half-expected her to struggle but when she didn’t, he grew worried. Her eyes were opened and she blinked occasionally but she didn’t seem to be staring at anything in particular. He spread her legs apart and ran the washcloth over her pussy and thighs, cleaning her up.

Nya was a fighter so this unresponsiveness was unsettling. Once he was satisfied with his handiwork he placed the cloth on the nightstand and molded his body against her back and wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Nya, don’t hold this against Cutter. He cares about you regardless of what you might think. He can be quite passionate at times and that passion can
sometime
s
lead him to do impulsive things.”

She didn’t respond right away, so he continued. “I know this situation takes some getting used to but we are your chosen mates. You had to know that when we first met. Why else would you have panicked and
perform
ed
a disappearing act? There’s no fighting the inevitable.”

“Is that supposed to make me feel better? What is this,
Good Twin, Bad Twin
? At least I know which one of you is the dominant one. Cutter is in charge and you’re his
lap
dog
.”

That comment might have actually hurt if Blade didn’t realize that Nya was only lashing out because she was in a great deal of pain herself. He could feel that she was hurting and more than anything he wanted to ease that ache within her.

“It’s true that Cutter has always been
the mo
st
outspoken between the two of us, but never forget that you are just as much mine as you are his. Had I really wanted to, I could have stopped him but he needed to get that out of his system and you need to stop denying what is as plain as the nose on your lovely face. You are ours and no matter how many insults you hurl at us or fight this, at the end of the day you’ll still be ours.”

“I never asked for any of this.”

“When Fate gives, it’s not up to us to decide what gifts to receive or deny.”

“
Well
,
Fate can shove this gift up its ass. It’s bad enough to have one mate, but to have two? I know you’re okay twins but how are you and Cutter okay with sharing a mate? I’ve seen twin immortals before. They had their own mates.”

Blade tightened his grip around Nya’s waist, enjoying the feel of her soft body
lying
pliant against his. “Twins are rare for humans and even more so for immortals. But Cutter and I are the rarest of all. We share identical souls so it would stand to reason that we would crave the same mate. It’s always been this way. It’s not something we’ve ever questioned and the two of us are so close that we’re a package deal.”

“So you always share lovers? I’m sure not every woman is okay with that.”

“There have been plenty of times when we’ve taken different love
rs
on our own but a mate is forever. It had to be someone that our souls called out to and that woman is you. Look, I know Cutter might have gotten carried away but when you compared us to Adonis, it was more than he could take.”

“And now you?”

He sighed. “Yes, I was hurt as well, but I’m trying to understand things from your perspective. Please take the time to understand ours. Nya, Adonis hurt many people. He’s torn families apart and destroyed lives, including ours.”

“I don’t ever remember him having dealings with the Romanovs.”

“Oh, he didn’t directly but he was in charge of people who did. You see, it was him who had gotten my father involved in some mad scheme to take down humans. Granted, my father has always been power-hungry and probably would have eventually found himself in some other kind of rogue scheme eventually, but Adonis was the one to orchestrate the plan that led my father’s eventual downfall. It was his minions who killed our sister and we hold him responsible for killing our first mate.”

Nya stiffened in his arms. “He never mentioned…there were times when he’d brag about his schemes and taking down a witch from a family as powerful as yours would have been quite a conquest for him.”

“Maybe he never mentioned it because her death was inconsequential to him like so many other lives he took. Our sister Petra was my father’s pride. Her magic had exceeded even Cutter’s and mine even though she was younger. As you know my sister Sasha’s mate is Niccolo Grimaldi. My father got it into his head that he could engineer a master race of hybrid. He didn’t think Sasha was a suitable
mate
for Niccolo even though she was Destiny’s chosen mate for him. My father cast a spell on Niccolo and manipulated him into thinking Petra was his mate. He cast Sasha aside. But because of Adonis’s vendetta against the Grimaldis he had Petra killed because at the time Niccolo believed that was his mate. Petra might not have always been the kindest of people, but she was still our sister. Our father’s influence had corrupted her and Cutter more than anyone else still believed that she could be redeemed and to this day he takes that loss hard. So is there any wonder why he’d be so upset when you’d compare us to your last mate?”

“You two had another mate?”

Blade and Cutter never discussed their other mate much because it still caused them both great regret, even after many years. “Yes, her name was Catherine. She got involved with some of Adonis’s rogues and she was killed.”

“You say that so matter-of-factly. Like you didn’t care about her. Is it so easy for you to move on?”

“It’s never easy to lose a mate. Cutter and I cared for Catherine but there was something missing inside of her.”

For the first time since Blade had entered the room, Nya turned around in his arms. “What do you mean?”

“There was something missing inside of her: the thing that gives a person empathy and compassion. She had none of it. She looked down at those who weren’t as skilled as her and she exploited any form of weakness but still we cared for her. And she returned our feelings, that’s how the mate bond works. We don’t always have a choice about who fate selects but it’s up to us to make the best of it.”

Nya begin to tremble.

Blade cupped her face in his hands. “What’s the matter,
solnyska
?”

“I cared for Adonis.” It seemed as if the words were almost painful for her to say.

“
Of course
,
you did, he was your mate.”

“But I shouldn’t have. He was evil. He did horrible things to other people and sometimes to me but…he was so corrupted by his mother and the black magic he practiced that it wasn’t all him. The time when I was with him, I saw glimpses of the man he used to be. There were times when he could actually be loving and sometimes funny, but those moments became so few and far between that I sometimes felt that I’d imagined them. I hated that I actually cared for him despite everything he did so I’ve gone into a deep denial about my feelings.”

“And you feel guilty?” he prodded gently.

Nya widened her eyes. “How did you know?”

“Cutter and I felt the same way about Catherine. I believe that fate dealt the three of us a difficult hand when it gave us our mates but maybe that’s the reason it had chosen you for me and
Cutter
because we all know what it was like to care for someone who may not have always been good for our spirits.”

Nya’s eyes glistened with the suspicious sheen of tears. “But how can I accept you and your brother when you treat me as he did? You stalk me to the ends of the earth, refuse to leave me alone and then hold me against my will.”

Blade bit the inside of his cheek to hold back the quick retort that had been on his tongue. It was quite easy to lash out but he had to reach Nya from a place of understanding if he were to break through her defenses. “It’s been over a century since our mate was killed and understandably we were eager when we saw you. When you disappeared we had to find you. From the moment we laid our eyes on you Nya, you became a part of us and without you, we were missing a piece of our soul.” He stroked her cheek. Her skin was so soft beneath his touch. His body quickened and his cock rose to attention.

“Don’t,” she whispered.

“Don’t what? Have feelings for you? It’s too late for that, Nya.” He moved his lips closer to hers.

“Don’t fall for me. I don’t think I’m capable of reciprocating.”

“Well,
solnyska
, that’s a risk we’re willing to take.” He crushed her mouth beneath his. Her lips were as soft as rose petals, and her taste was just as divine as he remembered. How he’d managed to keep himself under control while she lay naked in his arms was a mystery but now that he’d started touching her, he couldn’t stop.

Blade cupped her ass and aligned her pelvis to his. He could feel the heat of her pussy through his pants. Wanting to sample all her body
had to offer
, he traced the outline of her lips with his tongue.

Nya whimpered as she pressed her breasts against his chest and wiggled even closer to him. He nuzzled her neck before peppering her collar bone and chest with light kisses. When he came to her breasts, he took his time, lovingly licking, sucking and nibbling on her nipples. She dug her fingers through his hair and arched her back, silently offering herself to him.

“Mmm, so good,” she whispered. “How are you and your brother able to make me feel this way?”

Blade smiled at her rhetorical question. It gave him hope that she would soon come to accept what was meant to be. Wanting to explore more of this goddess he continued his descent of her body, running his tongue between the valley of her breasts down to her navel, circling it before reaching the neatly manicured patch of hair that guarded her womanhood. He pushed her legs apart and gently parted her damp folds. “You’re always so wet and ready for cock and tongue. Is it really a wonder how Cutter and I can’t keep our hands off of you?”

“Just shut up and eat my pussy,” she growled, raising her hips.

He chuckled. “With pleasure. I love a woman who knows what she wants.” Her scent was intoxicating. Lowering his head, Blade swiped her pussy with one broad stroke of his tongue. Nya’s thighs quivered so he did it again and kept doing it until she thrashed wildly.

Blade took his time leaving no part of her sex unexplored, from her throbbing little clit to the crack of her ass. He circled her rosette with the tip of his tongue, savoring the addicting taste of her. He couldn’t get enough.
Finally
,
he slipped two fingers inside of her hot little box, easing them in and out before latching on to her clit with his teeth.

Nya grabbed his hair, tearing it from the band he’d secured around it causing it to fan around his shoulders. She slipped her fingers through it and began, to grind her pussy against his face aggressively, as if she couldn’t get enough of his mouth and fingers.

“So close,” she groaned.

Blade slipped a third finger inside of her. Even though Nya’s pussy was one of the tightest he’d ever experienced, it was accommodating. He loved her responsive and the way she let out soft moans from the back of her throat.

Blade bit down on her clit just enough to make it hurt a little.

Nya screamed from the top of her lungs as she exploded. Her juices gushed and Blade released his fingers and released her clit in time to lap them up. He would be satisfied for the rest of his days just lying between Nya’s thighs sucking and fucking her pussy.

But as satisfying as that was for him, his cock needed relief now and it wouldn’t be satisfied until he was inside of her again. Sliding off the bed he quickly removed his clothing and rejoined Nya who still lay panting from what seemed like a powerful climax.

Blade moved on top of Nya and pushed his cock against her slit. He then placed his hands on either side of her head, bracing himself to slide inside of her.

She gasped in what almost sounded like relief and he echoed that sentiment. Being inside of Nya was like finding his way home. She fit so snuggly around his cock that he never wanted to leave. Blade remained as still as he possibly could, reveling in this moment but Nya seemed to have other ideas. She
ti
lt
ed
her pelvis just enough to send him even deeper into her warmth.

Gripping his shoulders she slowly began to undulate her hips.

“So eager,
solnyska
. All you had to do was ask.” Blade grinned as he slowly began to move.
