"Where did you get those scars?"

Her body froze, eyes rushing toward her body as she quickly covered herself. The sudden fear of getting abandoned or beaten caused her heartbeat to race and her hands to sweat.

She hadn't looked up at him yet as a cool breeze passed through as she wrapped her arms around herself.

"We're going home," Rurik announced finally after he had finished analyzing her and he stood up, leaving the scene. Vera quickly followed after him, grabbing her purse and running out of there.

Will this be the day he kicks me out? He finally saw my scars and he would find them disgusting. What will I do? My father would kill me if I went back. Do I steal money from him so that even if he kicks me out, I'll have something to live by? Or do I beg him to let me stay and I'll be a maid so he doesn't have to tolerate me? Or-

As her mind was foggy with negative thoughts, she suddenly realized that they had reached the car already and Rurik had already settled in. Swiftly opening the door, she sat inside and looked ahead.

As the sun set and dusk fell, the glowing orange and yellow scenery surrounded them. However, the uncomfortable silence shattered the comfortable atmosphere.

Nobody said anything. Not a single ounce of words were spoken. Dreadful silence hung around the car as they traveled back home.

Vera glanced toward Rurik who had his eyes stuck on the road but his knuckles had turned white as he was gripping the steering wheel pretty hard. He was extremely mad.

It seemed like his veins would pop any minute now but what was he thinking?

As soon as they reached the mansion, the doors opened while the car parked and Vera ran out immediately. She didn't let anyone greet her as she promptly made her way inside the elevators, not even letting Rurik in.

Rurik eyed her running in as he controlled his breathing, his eyes descending slowly as frustration etched across his features. Who had hurt her? Why hadn't she replied to me? She looked so scared, is it someone she knows? I have to find out.

Her room finally came into her view and she ran inside, briskly locking the doors and sliding down the door in a panic.

As she sat paralyzed, unsure of whether to bolt from the grand yet eerie mansion, her cheeks were drenched with scorching tears that cascaded down her face like a waterfall. She struggled to suppress her sobs, fearing that any sound might give away her presence and invite Rurik there.

A gentle knock behind her was barely audible, a delicate tap that seemed almost hesitant as if whoever stood outside, didn't want to disturb the tranquility.

She wiped her tears from the back of her hands as she stood up and stared at the closed door for the longest time before another knock sounded, more demanding this time.

"Malysh, it's me. I need you to open the door for me," Rurik's voice rang out with authority, commanding and insistent as his tone echoed through the door. Baby? Why baby?

"N-no, I'm sorry," she quivered, her voice barely audible, as though knowing the consequences of speaking loudly. "I can't."

Rurik's cold, icy heart clenched when he heard her plead as he tried to maintain his composure, sighing, he reached inside his pockets.

The jiggling of keys made her eyes widen as within seconds the door unlocked and Rurik entered inside. He glanced toward a fearful Vera who was frozen with dread and vulnerability while her eyes were glued onto him.

"You don't have to be afraid of me malysh, I will never hurt you," his soft voice was a soothing melody, laced with compassion and genuine concern as he moved closer to her.

When Vera had made no sign of moving away, he approached her, towering over her petite figure. Being quite taller than her, he had to bend down a little to talk to her.

His large hand gripped her chin softly, tilting her head upwards as her doe, red eyes refused to meet his.

"Look at me," it was a whispered decree, cutting through the silence with a sharp tug as his words held power and authority.

As their gazes locked, an electric current seemed to surge between them, igniting a profound intensity that filled the space between their eyes. It was as if time itself slowed, allowing them to drown in the depths of each other's orbs.

"You don't have to tell me about your scars now," his voice just above a whisper as she could feel his breath on her lips. "I'll wait, even if it takes forever."

The staring continued for a moment before Vera bit her lip in anticipation and spoke, "I don't know what to say," her words caused his lips to curve up a little.

"Then don't say anything. We'll talk about them later when you're ready," nodding apprehensively to his words, she gulped realizing he was still holding her and she had grabbed his other hand unknowingly.

"Can I kiss you?" he asked gently as he glanced down at her lips making her blink in surprise. Nobody had asked for consent before.

"Yes," she responded in a whisper, without hesitation because she wanted this as much as he did.

There was palpable tension in the air as they reached even closer, their breaths mingling together, creating a delicate dance of desire. Their eyes lock again, creating longing and need. And, in that suspended moment, their lips meet as if the two souls yearned for each other.

As Vera's lips met his tentative, soft ones, her eyes closed on their own, sending a shiver down her spine. He pulled her closer to him, her hand resting on his chest while he held her waist protectively.

With a gentle brush, the kiss was faltering yet electric, causing her to moan into his mouth making him smile. But soon it deepened, fueled by the burning passion ignited within them, the desire that broke out as if they needed each other.

His hands raked her loose strands of hair toward her ear as his tongue intertwined with hers, the vulnerability and the intimacy heightened.

Time seemed to stand still as they lost themselves in the intoxicating sensation, the world around them fading into insignificance as if nothing else mattered in the moment of bliss.

As Vera finally broke apart, breathless and exhilarated, she knew she was longing for more, even more than the passionate first kiss they just had.

"That was amazing," she whispered with a shallow gasp, her words breaking free from the confines of her chest, making him cup her cheek.

"It was the best," he added as they both attached their lips together again.

A few sweet kisses later, Rurik settled down on Vera's bed with her on his lap. Her arms wrapped around his neck as her legs settled towards his sides.

They continued to make out but he knew that they had to halt everything or it would escalate further and he knew she wouldn't be comfortable with it.

"We should stop," he said once he pulled away from her lips as she frowned, thinking the worst. He doesn't want to touch me. But why?

"But I don't want to," retorting her response, her cheeks turned crimson when she realized what she had said.

"Vera, we can take it slow. We don't have to do anything," saying that, he stared into her sparkly eyes while she did the same.

For a moment, Vera didn't say anything. She kept quiet but then she smiled.

"What if I don't want to take it slow?" she asked with a whisper, her voice laced with confidence but within she was scared. What if he rejects me? What if he's only doing this so he can betray me later?

Rurik's pants hardened painfully when she said that. He had never experienced such intense emotions for anyone else in his life. Every moment spent with her felt like an adventure as if he was discovering a whole new world. Her mere presence ignited a fire within him, filling him with a sense of euphoria that he had never felt before.

"You'll regret saying that," he replied playfully before attacking her lips again making her giggle loudly. He gently placed her on the bed, hovering above her and not losing her lips even once.

His hands, strong and determined, gripped her wrists, pinning them firmly above her head. With each breath, she felt the heat of his body, a palpable force pressing against her skin. Locked in this intimate struggle, she could sense the intensity in his gaze, a silent declaration of dominance.

"Are you sure about this malysh? There's no going back once we do this," she nodded eagerly, pulling her arms from his embrace and clinging her arms around his neck.

"Please just kiss me again," she whispered in desire as he sighed and kissed her again. Their lips molded perfectly as his tongue danced with hers and her mouth released all the sweet noises.

Rurik's fingers traced delicate patterns across her back, sending shivers down her spine. As he pulled her closer, she could feel her body responding to his touch, arching towards him in anticipation. The world around them faded away, leaving only the two of them lost in the moment.

As his eyes asked for her consent, he took off her crop top and stared at her red lace bra but his eyes also caught the random scars which both of them totally forgot about.

She tried to hide them but he had seen them all and he didn't let her because, in the heed of the moment, he threw her shirt aside and pinned her arms above her again.

"Don't hide them malysh, you're gorgeous nonetheless," he conveyed with nothing but love as he caressed her cheek with one hand while snapping open her bra.

She loosened herself in his arms as he kissed her neck, trailing his lips toward her sweet spot she breathed heavily in pleasure but felt embarrassed the moment her mouth opened.

"Keep moaning malysh, I want to hear the sounds your sweet mouth makes," he said, causing her to bite her lips with the building desire. A smirk formed on his lips when he found her unable to speak.

His lips rolled around her breasts, licking and biting her perky nipples as pleasure raked through her body, her spine began to curve as her body reacted to his cold touch.

As his lips did wonders on her body, her mouth slightly parted, he cupped her perfect nipples, playing with them to give her the utmost attention.

"Fuck, I want you so bad," breathing out into the air, she whimpered as his fingers untied her skirt open and glanced at her wet matching panties.

"Already so wet and I haven't even done much," he muttered with need as he took off the last piece of clothing covering her body.

Her legs instinctively closed but Rurik was fast to stop her. "Don't. Let me see that beautiful pussy," he commanded as she gulped and opened her legs, making his eyes burn with passion.

His eyes sparkled seeing her totally naked in front of him, her pussy covered with her glistening slick without having him touch her yet. His face moved closer to her thighs, holding them apart as his fingers grazed her wet folds.

Spreading her wetness around, he stuck his tongue out and licked a long stripe of her sensitive bud making her eyes close at the pleasure.

Her hands closed into his hair, pulling his thick strands as her legs wrapped around his head. No one had ever made her feel this way, everything felt new to her.

Tears formed in her eyes as her mind was on cloud nine while her veins burned with ecstasy.

Her moans increased as his movements went faster and his skillful tongue went deeper causing her thighs to shake. Vera's hand gripped his head tighter, bringing him closer to her as he was bringing her to her edge.

His licking became more sloppy as he began driving her more crazy.

"Fuck, just like that," she moaned, making him work on her rapidly as he ate her out like a hungry animal.

While his tongue moved inside her much deeper, he rubbed her sensitive area and began thrusting his fingers in and out.

The pleasure being new and too much, a knot formed in her lower stomach, and with that, she exploded into his mouth. A smile graced his face as he licked her clean while her thighs trembled while he allowed her to ride her high out.

"Oh my God," she whispered once he moved away from her clit and over her again.

He grinned as he wiped her remaining tears and caressed her thighs to stop them from shaking too much. "Are you okay?" He asked with concern as she gave him a tired yet shy smile.

"Yeah," she responded with a murmur, the ache between her legs caused her skin to prickle with the coiling tension that had finally released itself. As her hands were about to unbuckle his belt, he stopped her, making her furrow her brows in confusion.

"No, today was about you," he held her hands in his and kissed her with passion as she felt her taste on him.

"Why? I can get you off if you want," she suggested which made his heart burn with a sadness that he couldn't muster. He would've said yes to her but he knew she was someone he would take his time with.

"No, your pleasure comes first. Besides, I'm sure you're tired," he said as he got off of her. "I'll bring a washcloth to clean you with."

While Rurik left the room to get the stuff, Vera couldn't help but wonder how sweet he was. No one had ever taken care of her before, everyone wanted her for her body but he actually worshiped her, as if he really cared. Would this stay forever?

....

"Sir, I actually found the information you were asking for." Rurik's informant entered his office, bowed toward him, and handed him some documents.

"Good," he replied coldly as he waved him off and the man left.

A day had passed with Rurik and Vera's foreplay. They slept together that night and cuddled which was unfamiliar for both of them.

His mind couldn't get her out of it, he would be thinking about how she had shattered underneath him, how she had come on his tongue, and how much he couldn't wait for it to happen again.

Meanwhile, Rurik had asked for details of her past which he knew. He knew she was the oldest of two daughters, her father was involved in drug trafficking and he had lost the money to him which was the reason why he had sold her off to him.

He still couldn't figure out something. His eye caught some wording on the documents.

"2014-2020, Vera was sent to a boarding college out of the city......"

The surprising fact he found was that Vera didn't have a bachelor's degree, so what happened in those years?
