Epilogue - Leon

Time passed quickly. Once Kiera was stopped for good, there was a lot of turmoil. The Morozov family held up their end of the deal and kept our identity a secret. Obviously, it was to their benefit as well. There were many other projects where we could be of service, and where we were.

Six months had passed, and the waters started calming down. Not that any of us expected that it would stay this way forever. But we were thankful for the quiet times when they came. During the last six months, we, the Ungodly Brothers, assisted the Morozov family with a couple of projects. One was finding out who was behind a string of robberies at their clubs.

During this time, our bond with Ashan and Jamie developed into more than mere associates. We have also had the pleasure of meeting other members of the family. This extended our services.

Cindy loved her new job and settled well within the company. Sitting outside by the pool with our feet dangling in the cool water, I waited for Cindy to tell me the good news she said she had.

Bumping her gently, I asked, unable to wait any longer. She had let me know early this morning that she had received good news but had not spilled the beans. "So, what's this amazing news you told me about?"

Staring out at the trees, she inhaled deeply. Turning to me, I noticed she was beaming. "Come on, spill it," I urged her.

"Well," she started. "What would you say if I told you, that you were looking at the youngest leading scientist in the lab?"

I was utterly stunned and didn't know what to say. Taking her face into my hands, I pulled her closer and kissed her passionately. "Cindy," I whispered. "You are the brightest of stars in my world, and I knew you would become big."

Cindy pulled me in and kissed me long and hard. Coming up for air, I had an idea. Jumping up, I pulled her with me. "This calls for a celebration, don't you think?" I said grinning at her. She nodded, turning from side to side. I loved the way she still got shy when exciting events came our way.

Pulling her into my arms, I hugged her tightly as I spoke. "You're amazing, and you deserve it."

We found the others on the veranda in front and shared the exciting news. After everyone congratulated her, we decided to share the news with Ashan and Jamie. We made an appointment to visit them the next evening.

While Cindy was at work the next day, Mila and I went to the gambling den. With assistance from Jamie, we arranged for a celebration out of this world. Ashan and Jamie agreed to close the top floor for a private party in the evening. Mila assisted in inviting some of our friends, and Cindy's colleagues from the new lab.

Jamie got in some of the Morozov women and decorated the floor. They agreed to keep it plain as Cindy didn't like too much fuss. Gold and silver balloons hung from white lint across the sky with dots of fairy lights here and there. At the bar was a big congratulations board.

Finger snacks were prepared, and the bar was fully stocked. We settled on a music list that included a variety of music, which I felt wasn't too wild. Glancing around the floor, I rubbed my hands hard against my pant legs, feeling my nerves eating at my insides.

Jamie and Mila made a list of gift selections that was also sent out to those invited. Before picking Cindy up from work, I went shopping. I bought three outfits, hoping one of them would be to her liking.

Leaving them on the bed in our room, I went to pick her up. Sitting in the parking area, I saw her departing the building and strolling over. She was glowing as the late afternoon sun hit her just right. My heart was beating extra fast as I wasn't very good at keeping things from her. I didn't want to spoil the surprise.

Getting in, Cindy smiled at me, and I had to look away as I felt sure my eyes would betray me. Starting up the beast, Cindy leaned over, placing her hand on my knee as she spoke. "Why do you look like you've done something you shouldn't have?"

I gave her a quick grin as I pulled out and headed home. "Nope, nothing," I replied, hearing a slight quivering in my voice.

"Are we still going to Ashan and Jamie tonight?" she asked, looking out the window.

Swallowing the lump and wiping at the sweat forming on my brows, I felt relieved that she wasn't watching me. "Yeah, I bought you some outfits. I hope you like them," I said, pulling into the driveway.

This time, Cindy looked at me, staring at me as if examining me. "Oh, okay," she eventually said as I got out.

Opening her door, Cindy got out and went in without another word. Entering the room, I stood at the door watching her as she studied the outfits. After a while, she turned, holding up the light green pantsuits. "This one is nice," she said, coming closer and kissing my cheek.

Breathing out hard, I replied quickly as she headed to the bathroom. "I'm glad you like it; I'll be downstairs if you're done, sweetness."

Cindy turned, smiled, and nodded at me as she stepped out of sight. I waited in the kitchen while she finished up. Catching her coming down the stairs, I walked to the kitchen entrance and watched her. No words could describe what I saw and felt.

Coming down the stairs in the pantsuit wearing her silky white top and white leather booths, she took my breath away. "Cindy, you look amazing," I said. I held out my hand as she took the last step.

Smiling shyly, she replied in a soft tone. "Thank you, I like this suit."

Heading to the den, I hoped she would also like the party. Parking round the back, we entered through the kitchen and headed upstairs. The lights were all off, and the floor was dark. "Where's everyone?" Cindy asked.

Before I could answer, the place lit up like a Christmas parade, and everyone shouted congratulations.

Cindy gasped, closing her mouth with her hands as she looked around. Turning, she hugged me tightly as she whispered in my ear. "Did you do all this?"

"With a little help," I replied, kissing her cheek. Towards the back were tables lined with snack foods, desserts, and more.

Cindy slowly walked in, shaking hands and greeting everyone. She glowed as she moved elegantly across the floor. I was filled with warmth watching her. She was a special woman, and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.

After a couple of shots and two rounds of drinks, the waiter pushed in the trolley overflowing with gifts. Jamie and Mila had outdone themselves, and I was relieved that everything turned out well.

We ate and danced the night away. As it got late, the people started heading out. "Leon, I think we should also be heading home," Cindy said as she finished her second bowl of pudding.

I had expected she would be almost done when she stopped drinking and changed over to coffee before her first bowl of dessert. Ashan and Piotr were visiting at the bar. Mila and Jamie sat in the gazebo where we usually had our meetings, and Konstantin was nowhere to be seen.

Walking up to the two women first, we greeted and thanked them for a lovely evening. At the bar, we greeted the two men. "Thank you again, Ashan, it was truly lovely," Cindy said as he hugged her.

"Any time, we must visit more often," he replied.

Once we got back to the mansion, I ran us a bath. Adding insane amounts of bubble bath, we ended up with a tub overflowing with bubbles. I turned the lights down after lighting the candles which I had placed all over.

Joining me in the bathroom, Cindy smiled as she spoke. "This is nice."

Pulling her into my arms, I kissed her deeply. "Cindy, you are so special," I said, removing her jacket and fumbling at the buttons on her top. Once her top hit the floor, she stepped out of her pants. In the light of the candles, her skin glowed. I felt my heart rate picking up.

Pulling her back into my arms, I reached around, loosening the clasp of her bra. I kissed her neck and shoulders as I removed it. Taking her face into my hands, I stared into her eyes. It felt like I had entered another dimension, flying high with no care in the world.

Leaving tender kisses down her arms, I slowly pushed her panties to the floor and picked her up into my arms. "Would you like some wine?" I asked as I placed her down into the bubbles.

Cindy nodded, laying back. "Right, I'll be back in a second," I added and quickly went to the kitchen for glasses and the bottle I had placed in the fridge that morning. Returning with the wine, I hastily undressed and got in the tub behind her.

I poured us each a glass and sat against the side allowing her to lay back against my chest. "I'm so proud of you. You have achieved all you aimed for," I whispered, kissing her ear.

"Well," she replied softly. "Without your support, I might not have gotten so far."

"Oh, no, this was all you," I replied, squeezing her arm.

Cindy leaned her head back, glancing up at me and smiling. "Thank you for the support."

Leaning down, I kissed her tenderly. Cindy placed her glass on the side of the tub and turned to me. Taking mine and placing it with hers, she shifted to sit on my lap.

"Well, then," I whispered, taking hold of her hips. "This discussion has taken a turn, it seems."

She smiled and licked her lips as her fingers trailed down my chest, waking every inch of me. Cindy's hands traveled down into the water to stroke my dick. Her gaze was intense as she stared deep into my soul.

Grabbing hold of her hips, I pulled her closer and lifted her onto my throbbing dick. I felt her pussy pulsing as I penetrated her. I tenderly kissed her lips, cheek, and neck as I moved her slowly up and down.

"Cindy," I breathed into her neck. "I love you."

Her fingers played with my hair at the back as she arched in my arms. Her eyes appeared to sparkle as she looked at me. Coming closer, she answered in a wavering tone, "And I, you baby," before kissing me hard.

She pulled her legs up, placing her feet next to my hips, taking control of our movement. Caressing her back, Cindy started moving up and down in quick, sharp shifts, coming down hard, slamming into me. With each deep penetration, she moaned. Her breathing was hard and quick as she moved.

Feeling her slowing down as her body started to shake, I took over. Gripping her hips, I aided in her movements until she arched back, screaming with pure delight. Release came quickly after that, and she flopped onto my chest, breathing rapidly.

Holding her in my arms, I felt whole; she had completed me. I knew then for sure, she was the one. Once we finished bathing, we headed to the kitchen, grabbed a coffee, and sat on the veranda.

"I think it's time," I said, taking her hand.

"Time for what?" she asked in a light tone.

Turning to her, I grinned as I spoke. "A place of our own, a couple of kids maybe?"

Cindy giggled, that sweet, innocent sound I have come to love. Squeezing my hand as she spoke. "Are you proposing?"

Feeling my cheeks heating up, I considered what I had just said. I hadn't thought of it in that way. But I could see how she got to that conclusion. Placing my cup on the table, I went onto my knees before her, bringing up a small jewelry box. Staring into her eyes, I continued. "If that is what you want? I can't imagine a life without you in it."

Cindy leaned forward, taking my face in her hands. Her touch was soft, loving, and warm as she spoke. "I want it all, baby."

I opened the box and took out the ring. Placing it on her finger, she beamed. Raising to my feet, I pulled her with me and kissed her passionately.

Cindy beamed as we headed to bed. Early the next morning, we shared the news with the others. Mila was excited to assist with planning the wedding and I was relieved that they all accepted her like family.
