His thrusts were so strong it started to make the headboard hit the wall with the force of it.Alexey didn’t look away from her, he thrust harder within her, pushing her to that peak, and Jane watched as he finally reached his bliss, slammed into her one final time, and she watched him reach his orgasm.She felt each pulse as he filled her.
It was in that moment she realized they’d been having sex for quite some time, and it had been a while since she had a period.She could be pregnant.

“You mean she actuallyargued with you?”Nikolai asked.
Alexey looked up from his work to stare across the room at his friend.Tonight, he was taking Nikolai home with him.He knew his friend was lapping up all this attention.
“Yes, Jane argued with me and told me I needed someone who would look right on my arm.”
“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”
Alexey wanted to get through this paperwork, but since Nikolai had been dropped off, he’d been determined to talk.So, he put down his pen and looked at him.“It means she doesn’t think she is beautiful enough to be my wife.”
Nikolai frowned.“Okay, I get that she’s ...you know, but there’s more to a woman than looks.”
“Can you shut up so I can finish this and take you home?”Alexey asked.
“Sure.Go ahead.What’s for dinner?”Nikolai asked.
Alexey took a deep breath and reminded himself that his friend was not the reason to kill anyone.Nikolai had taken bullets and nearly died on the operating table.
“Why don’t you text Jane or call her?”he asked.
Nikolai rolled his eyes.“You know, you’re no fun.”
“I am tons of fun.”He finished looking over the latest figures, checking to make sure everything matched up.
There were a lot of greedy people in the world, and he’d experienced men and women attempting to tamper the book logs and steal from him.This was where his father had gone wrong on multiple occasions.
It had been a week since he had proposed to Jane, and so far, Vincent Morello had backed off.He’d done it so easily that Alexey didn’t buy it.He was not willing to let Jane go out alone.He had a sneaking suspicion that Vincent was waiting for the moment she was alone, or for Alexey to let his guard down.
Threats could work, but not with Vincent, and not with how he felt about his son.
“Pot roast, Jane said.Chocolate mousse for desert with whipped cream, or ice cream.Do we think she made the ice cream, or do you think it’s store-bought?”
“Have you seriously become that picky?”Alexey asked.
“Your woman’s cooking is the best.I didn’t even realize I had food standards before she cooked for me.She has completely ruined me and spoiled me for choice.”
Alexey laughed.“Shut the fuck up.”
“You know, man, you’re happy, don’t you?”Nikolai asked.
He looked toward his friend.“Yeah, I’m happy.”
“You love her, don’t you?”
Alexey looked at Nikolai.
They were close, he, Nikolai, Makar, and Igor, but they never went to the extreme lengths of talking about their feelings.
“We’re not doing this, are we?”Alexey asked.
“Look, dude, it’s just you and me.Come on, a few years ago, you wouldn’t even look at one woman for longer than a single hookup.Now you’re going to marry one.That comes with a whole bunch of shit I didn’t even realize.You’re going to marry her and spend the rest of your life with her.That is a big deal.It’s a big, crazy, scary deal, but it is still a huge deal.”
Alexey ran a hand down his face.“Yeah, I love her.”
