Epilogue

"Oh my. This feels like something straight out of a movie..."

Sheena could only nod in agreement with her mother"s words, since the sight outside her childhood home had her tongue-tied and wanting to pinch herself.

An honest-to-goodness helicopter had just landed on their snow-covered lawn, and Sheena"s heart raced upon seeing her billionaire boyfriend step out.

She had been secretly heartbroken when Sasha had told her he wouldn"t be able to come up to New Jersey to meet her parents, but apparently that wasn"t the case at all, and the Devil"s lips curved into a wicked smile when he saw Sheena running out of the front door.

She flew into his embrace like a homing pigeon, and something inside of her seemed to settle as his arms tightened around her. It had only been over a month since they started dating, but she could no longer remember what life was like without him, and there was no other place in the world these days that she felt safer and more loved than in the Devil"s arms.

"Surprised?"

She nodded against his chest, and her toes curled when she felt him bend his head just before whispering into her ear.

"How do you feel about flying out with your parents...so we can all celebrate New Year in Hawaii?"

"What?"

But being the Devil that he was, Sasha was already leading Sheena back to her house, and she could only fight back tears at the way Sasha respectfully addressed her parents as he issued them the same invitation that still had her mind whirling.

All four of them were boarding the chopper just ten minutes later, and Alicia didn"t know what to feel when she saw their neighbors rushing out to take photos as the helicopter lifted off. She and her family had always been the ordinary type...while there was nothing ordinary at all about her daughter"s boyfriend.

It took only another ten minutes for the chopper to reach the airport, and just a few minutes after that for them to be escorted straight to the private jet Sasha co-owned with the other men of Strakh.

Sheena"s mother was quick to say "yes" when the billionaire asked if they would like a tour, and it was while they were walking from room to room that the older woman casually started asking questions.

How long have you two been dating?

Don"t you think you"re too old for our daughter?

What do you like most about her?

"Mom, please!" Sheena was already dying with mortification. Women generally had the tendency to be blind about their children"s imperfections, but this was getting a little ridiculous. Even someone with half a brain would know right away that it was Sasha who was out of her league, and not the other way around.

"I just want to see if he"s serious about you," Alicia clarified with a shrug.

Sheena could only cringe. "Mom..."

Sasha squeezed her hand. "I"m very serious about her, Mrs. Pearson, and that"s why..."

A gasp escaped her as Sasha went down on bended knee just as the billionaire"s family and friends joined them in the jet"s main cabin.

"There"s nothing I"d like more than to have you by my side for the rest of my life," Sasha said quietly, "which is why I would like to ask.."

Tears were already rushing down Sheena"s cheeks even before Sasha had finished speaking.

"Will you marry me?"

Sheena threw herself back into the Devil"s arms—-

"Yes!"

—-and everyone laughed as she ended up knocking Sasha to the floor while the cabin crew happily popped champagne and burst into applause.

A full-course dinner was served on board afterwards, and Sheena felt like crying again with how everyone was just being so unbelievably nice to her parents. Alicia was at that age where she loved posting anything and everything on her Facebook feed, but instead of making the older woman feel gauche, Sasha and the other guys gamely took selfies with Sheena"s mother while Dmitry and Stelios" wives successfully charmed Sheena"s normally-shy father into opening up.

It was already close to midnight when everyone retired to their respective suites, and Sasha was about to join Sheena in their suite when his phone rang. What was supposed to be a quick call ended up taking almost an entire hour, and Sheena was already fast asleep in his bed when he entered their room.

The bed barely dipped as Sasha sat down, but it was still enough to have her stir, and his heart slammed against his chest as her eyes fluttered open...and he saw the way a sleepy smile gradually blossom over her lips.

"I love you." He just had to fucking say it, since every time he saw her smile like this, it reminded him of how close he had been to losing her, once upon a time.

"I love you." Sheena sat up as she spoke, and Sasha sucked his breath in when he realized she was completely naked under the covers.

A breathless gasp escaped Sheena as he yanked her to his lap, but this soon turned into a moan as his mouth crushed hers in a fiercely hungry kiss.

Her tongue mated eagerly with his, and Sasha"s cock started twitching violently when their kiss had her pussy dripping wet in mere moments.

Sheena whimpered in protest when he suddenly lifted his head—-

"You"re so fucking wet," he rasped.

Sheena writhed involuntarily at the lust-thickened sound of the Devil"s voice. "I can"t help it—-"

The words had Sasha growling even as he was busily yanking his zipper off, and fuuuuuuuck—-

Sheena barely managed to keep herself from crying his name out as he impaled her with his cock, and her head fell back as his oh-so-long cock drove all the way up to her womb.

The way his fingers bit into the soft flesh of her ass had her breasts aching with need, and she could only bite her lip hard when he started bouncing her up and down his shaft. Every plunge had her erect nipples scraping against his hair-roughened chest, and Sheena was this close to losing her mind when she felt him swelling even larger right inside of her pussy.

She so, so wished that this would never end, only to realize how dangerous wishes could be when her beloved Devil suddenly pulled out...just before flipping her on her fours and positioning himself behind her.

"S-Sasha?"

"It"s time, baby..."

Oh God.

She tried her best to escape as per usual, but this only had him releasing a properly devilish chuckle as he pulled her back to him.

"Sasha, please..."

But all he did was dip the head of his cock into her quivering pussy like it was a hot little jar of honey...before applying her own wetness to her nether hole.

OH GOD!

Her back arched as he tested the tightness of her hole with one finger...while he used his other hand to pleasure her cunt. Three fingers went straight inside of her, and Sheena"s mind started to spin as he started finger-fucking her pussy while playing with the tiny hole of her ass at the same time.

Every second was the sweetest kind of pain and the most agonizing pleasure at the same time, and while Sheena had no idea how long it took for her body to adjust...she only knew that it was time when he replaced his finger with his cock—-

"God, oh God, Sasha—-"

He was finally, literally fucking her ass, and Sheena could already feel her body tightening in preparation for the wildest of orgasms. There was just no word to describe how it felt, with Sasha shoving his fingers knuckle-deep in and out of her pussy...while his hips loudly slapped against hers as his cock pounded her ass.

Everything was just too good and too hot.

Everything was just too, too much...that Sheena forgot all about her parents sleeping in the next room as waves of pleasure crashed over her body.

"Sasha, oh God—-"

Sasha didn"t stop fucking her even as he started to cum, and Sheena could only cry out again and again as his cock threatened to destroy her ass in the most excruciatingly delicious way.

She had already passed out by the time his cock finally withdrew out of her tight little ass, and she was already curled up against his chest when she regained consciousness.

"I love you..."

She immediately felt all warm and gooey inside as he said the words over and over while gently raining kisses over her face, and a mixture of nervousness and excitement squeezed her heart when Sasha huskily promised to grant her anything she wished.

"There is one thing I"d like to ask," Sheena whispered.

"If it"s within my power—-"

"It is," she said quickly.

"Then it"s yours."

And those turned out to be his famous last words, with Sasha finding himself trapped in a living nightmare of his own doing a few months later.

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

Sasha couldn"t remember feeling so fucking terrified his entire life, and the looks on the other guys" faces told him that all of them shared his fears.

"You can do it," Tahey was yelling while Bailey was already up on her feet and anxiously biting her nails.

Sheena"s half-Russian, half-Thai opponent finally made her move, and because Sheena failed to step back in time—-

Fuck!

Sasha and all the others winced simultaneously as the opponent landed a solid kick to Sheena"s side.

C"mon, baby, c"mon...

His jaw clenched as he watched Sheena get back to her feet, but instead of preparing for her opponent"s next move—-

Ah, fuck.

Sheena quickly turned to his direction—-

Sasha almost groaned. No, baby, don"t look at me.

—-and mouthed, "I"m okay."

Sasha could feel himself turning white.

No, baby, you"re not.

And she sure as hell wasn"t, since the moment Sheena turned back to her opponent, the other woman was all too ready, and her next kick had Sasha"s fiancée flying to the cage.

****

SHEENA RUSHED TO SASHAand their friends as soon as the award-giving ceremony was over. Everyone was quick to tell her that she had done a great job, and they were all obviously just too nice to tell her she was crap. But it was when she was finally face to face with Sasha, and she was about to apologize for losing a match for the tenth straight time—-

Oh no.

She was the one who had lost the match...so why was it the billionaire who looked as if had just gone through hell?

"Are you okay?" she asked uncertainly.

"Fuck no," Sasha growled down at her. "That"s your last match—-"

"But—-"

"You suck at beating people up, Sheena."

Well...she did hate having to physically assault people, but the day after their engagement, she had promised Sasha that she was going to make sure she would never become a liability to the Devil—-and no way was she going to break her word.

"MMA might not be for me," Sheena allowed, "but there are other ways I can learn to defend myself. Maybe, I can...I dunno, learn to shoot—-"

"No!"

All five men of Strakh had answered Sheena simultaneously, and Tahey could only fight back a smile when the younger woman blinked at them in confusion. It was just so adorable how clueless her future sister-in-law was!

Stelios glanced at his wife, and the Greek billionaire"s handsome face softened at how much she was struggling not to laugh.

Bailey felt self-conscious when she realized Stelios was staring at her. "What?"

Her husband lifted a brow. "Am I not allowed to stare at my wife?"

Of course he was allowed, but the question here was why...since both of them knew their marriage was hardly a love match.

Stelios could tell something was wrong by the way his wife was suddenly gnawing on her lip.

Bailey"s heart was beating hard against her chest. She knew this was not the best time at all to ask, but...

"Stelios?"

"Mm?" Her lowered voice had Stelios thinking that she was about to say something she wished to keep private between them, and he bent his head to hear what she had to say. It was likely something delightfully mundane, something that he would only care to hear from his wife and never from other women.

But in this case he was dead wrong, and it was like being sucker-punched when Stelios heard his wife clear her throat before saying—-

"I want a divorce."

The End

Book 3, which is Stelios and Bailey's story, will be republished soon. Please keep an eye out for it!
