Finally, I manage to gasp a breath as I hurtle back down to earth like an asteroid. I crash and slump down on Bella’s soft body, the familiar feel of her perfect breasts.
My cock is really sensitive now. I can barely even shift my weight without feeling a tingling pulse through my shaft.
Bella is twitching too. Her whole body jolts every second or so, the waves of her climax still rocking her like a boat in a storm. I watch, admiring her beauty, until she finally opens her eyes and smiles up at me.
“Good lord.”
“No, baby. My name’s Viktor.”
She giggles and slaps me on the chest, pretending to scold me for my little joke.
“I love when you come in me.”
“That makes two of us.” I smile, licking her lower lip, sucking it gently.
She takes a deep breath and traces the line of my jaw with her finger. “Baby, I have…I have something to show you.”
“Oh? It’s not my birthday yet, baby.”
She giggles, slaps my chest again. “I know that! No, it’s just…well I think I should just show you. It’s in the bedroom.”
“Very mysterious,” I say coyly, lifting her in my arms. “Then to the bedroom we go.”
The penthouse is empty now aside from Bella and me. I told the men that if there wasn’t a meeting where I needed security, to remain outside. You just never know when my queen and I are going to decide to go at it, and we sure as hell don’t need any spectators.
It’s nearly been a month now since I sorted things out with her father and made her mine. And I still can’t believe my life is what it is now.
I still control New York City, but I actually feel something now beyond the desire to rule. I’m happy. I’m warm. I’m certainly not The Ice Man any longer, but no one needs to know that.
At least, not yet.
One of these days, I don’t know when, I’m going to take Bella away from here. Start a new life with her, one that revolves around just the two of us. And she may have something to show me, but I’ve got a surprise for her too. And it comes in three carats.
I carry her into our bedroom. The one that used to be only mine but now we share. We both groan as I slide out of her and set her down. She kisses me on the cheek and slips into a robe as I throw on a pair of sweats.
The most beautiful woman in the world, and she’s mine.
I watch as she goes into the drawer for something, hides it, and walks slowly over to me. She’s smiling like she’s done something naughty behind my back. In the old days, behavior like that would have had me on edge. But I trust Bella with my life. I’m actually eager to see what it is she has to show me.
“Here,” she says, extending her hand. “My heart’s been racing since I saw.”
She opens her hand, and I see it—a pregnancy test. Two lines beside each other. Even a man like me knows what that means.
“You’re pregnant?” I almost gasp as the implications hit me. My heart pounds against my ribs with so much love I can barely take it. I look down at her belly.
There’s a baby in there. Our baby.
I shouldn’t be surprised. I mean, I’ve been coming in her since I took her that first time. But actually seeing the result—knowing that we’ve created something that will bind us together forever—is incredible.
Bella nods, tears pooling in her eyes. “You’re happy, right?”
“Happy? Baby, are you nuts? This is wonderful!” She throws her arms in the air, and I catch her, pulling her to me. “And you know what? This is the perfect time.”
“Perfect time for what?”
“For something I’ve been waiting to surprise you with.”
Bella follows me with her eyes as I go to the closet, reach into the top drawer that I know she can’t reach, and pull out my surprise.
Cupping it behind my back, I walk over to her, and smiling, drop to one knee.
Her eyes go wide, and she clasps a hand over her mouth.
Pulse racing, I show her the velvet ring box, and tears plummet from her eyes and spill down her cheeks.
“Isabella Rossi. You changed my life forever. From the moment you stepped into my office, I was a changed man. I thought I knew who I was, but I was wrong. And because of you, I am better.” I pop the lid of the box, showing her the ring. She gasps. “Will you stay with me forever, so I can be the happiest man on earth for the rest of my life? Will you marry me?”
She doesn’t even hesitate.
“Yes! Oh my God, yes!”
My heart is nearly ready to explode with warmth that flows through every inch of my body. I take her hand and slide the ring onto her finger, fully solidifying that she is now mine.
