СКАЧАТЬ hardness pressed against the small of her back.

      Her nipples were aching and sensitive, her clitoris vibrating with pleasure, and her entire body melted over his by the time his hands stilled their insidious movements.

      There were no words left in her brain when he drained the tub and lifted her back to the tile floor. They dried off in silence, bodies aware and straining toward each other.

      She and Vik stripped the bedding back without acknowledging that was what they were going to do, and then together they fell to the mattress covered by the single sheet.

      The lovemaking was everything she had ever dreamed it would be, his sex filling her so deeply she felt like they’d really bonded into one entity in that moment.

      There was still some pain, but nothing stabbing and dark, and the pleasure pushed any lingering discomfort to the bottom register of Maddie’s awareness.

      This time when she climaxed, she screamed until her throat protested the strain. Vik grew impossibly hard inside her, his body going rigid just before he shouted his own release in the form of a single word.

      “Mine.”

      She didn’t even think about birth control until the next morning.

      * * *

      Viktor came to awareness in the dark, two things at the forefront of his mind. The woman he’d craved for years was now in his arms and they hadn’t used birth control the first time they made love.

      The former gave him satisfaction and the latter a twinge of regret. In a perfect world, they would have a couple years of marriage to enjoy their time together as a couple, to solidify their relationship.

      In the real world, Madison had been forced into marriage by the actions of that bastard who had called himself her friend, and Viktor’s grandparents were getting on in years. If his children were to have the time to enjoy them as Viktor had, they would have to come along sooner than later.

      Viktor had taken advantage of Timwater’s idiocy. He could deal with the consequences of other realities, too.

      For him, family was everything.

      It was the reason he’d been driven to succeed. The one thing that drove him most intensely was the desire to not only make his grandparents proud, but to also provide for his own family as his own father had not done.

      Viktor had determined early in his life never to walk a single step in his own father’s shoes.

      When he’d first met Jeremy Archer, Viktor had believed he’d found the mentor he sought. And he had, but he had also come to the realization that as wrapped up in AIH as Jeremy was, his vision was still too limited.

      Both in a business sense and when it came to family.

      Jeremy had never understood that all of AIH’s success meant nothing in the face of his spectacular failure with his daughter.

      Madison was Viktor’s match in every way. They were not just sexually compatible, they were combustible. Just as he’d known they would be.

      But equally important, they were friends with compatible, if very different, goals for the future.

      Viktor felt an unfamiliar sense of having dodged a bullet with Maxwell Black’s presence in the conference room that morning. Jeremy bringing in Maxwell—of all men—had precipitated actions on Viktor’s part he hadn’t intended to take until later.

      But he couldn’t complain about the outcome.

      He in no way regretted making love to Madison and had every intention of showing her that no other man would be her match as Viktor was.

      He wasn’t just the perfect successor for AIH, he was perfect for Madison.

      With that thought, he brushed his hand down her flank, leaning over to kiss the side of her neck and bring her to wakefulness for another example of how very well they meshed in bed.

      * * *

      For the first time in her life, Maddie had woken in another person’s arms.

      She lay, warm and secure as half of Vik’s body covered hers, his breath still even and slow in sleep.

      And she thought of babies and the possibility of family. Had he done it on purpose? Or had he been as lost to the final satiation of years’ worth of unfulfilled desire that the idea of birth control hadn’t even entered the picture?

      Before she’d been made love to by a man who never seemed to get enough, she would have written the latter off as a complete improbability.

      But Vik had woken her several times in the night and pushed the boundaries of pleasure and her body on each occasion, his hunger for her something she would never again be able to doubt. There’d been no question when they were sleeping that they would do so skin-to-skin.

      The one time she’d tried donning her sleep pants and tank top, he’d gotten this look in his eyes. Really intense, feral and determined. Her pajamas had been in a puddle on the floor moments later and her body humming the music of the Viktor Beck pleasure symphony.

      Even now, his oversized sex...

      No, she didn’t believe him that he was no bigger than most men. She’d heard on one of those talk shows hosted by a group of interesting and mostly famous women that the average length was just about five inches erect. Well, she knew from five inches and his was nearly twice that. Average? She did not think so.

      Right now, that not-at-all-average hardness was pressing against her hip, telling her that when he woke he’d be ready for more physical intimacy. Despite the twinges of soreness making her aware of muscles she hadn’t known she had, nipples that ached from all the stimulation they’d enjoyed and a tender feeling in the flesh between her legs, she knew she wouldn’t hesitate to respond.

      Except...they hadn’t used any form of birth control in the long night of passion. Not once.

      “I can hear you thinking.” Vik’s early morning voice rumbled above her head.

      “You said we would make any decision about children together.”

      Tension seeped into his big body, but he did not move away. “Yes?”

      “We did not use birth control last night.”

      Oddly, he relaxed. “No, we did not.”

      “Vik,” she said in warning.

      He sat up, somehow getting pillows propped against the headboard behind him and her sideways in his lap with a minimum of movement. It was a position he apparently enjoyed.

      He tilted her chin up, bringing their gazes into alignment. “We made that decision together.”

      “I didn’t make a decision at all. I didn’t even think of it.”

      His eyebrows rose. “Neither did I.”

      She narrowed her eyes, trying to gauge the truth of his statement. She might be blind, but Maddie couldn’t see the smallest flicker СКАЧАТЬ
