Taming Rachel (Eternally Yours Book 1) Read online

  “Alex, I-I…” My voice trembled as he pressed his finger to my lips.

  “Don’t cry kitten, I’m sorry I wasn’t there to protect you from him.” I nodded and nestled my face in his chest. I should pull away and run, but I don’t. I shouldn’t like the way his arms feel or how his voice turns me on.

  But I do.

  And I hate myself for that.

  I loathe myself for still having feelings for him.

  Alexander and I grew up together and used to be close, but over the years we grew apart. Something happened to us and we just went our separate ways. Living our separate lives with different families. Ever since I had that dream, I’ve been thinking about him a lot.

  What if we never strayed from one another?

  Would we be best friends or more than friends?

  No Rachel, get that stupid dream out of your head.

  “Here, let me take you home.” He sighed shooting someone a text.

  “Alex,” I pressed against him. “I don’t want to go home.”

  Just one night with him and I’ll get him out of my system.

  Then, I won’t have that dream ever again. I needed to get it out of my head.

  “Tell me, where do you want to go?” He asked looking down into my eyes with a fire I’d never seen.

  “With you, take me to your bed.” I feathered my lips against his and pressed against his chest.

  Just one time and I’ll get rid of this odd feeling.

  Alexander

  Fuck!

  I knew the second I reached out to touch her face…I just fucked up. I already had a conversation with Tate about what happened. Her father trusted someone to guard her, protect her and betrayed him. He almost got away with it, too. I would’ve loved to been the one who put an end to the dirty old man. It nearly broke her brother when he seen what he did to his sister. All the cuts and bruises he put on her tore him in half.

  But what he didn’t know, she had scars deeper than the cuts…ones that I only knew about.

  She came to the club half fucked-up and spilled the confession. That was a secret I’ve been keeping buried deep inside. She didn’t remember and I wasn’t about to tell her. She also didn’t know the truth of who found her. Just another secret I’m keeping from her. Not when I’m so close to trapping the feral kitten.

  Did that make me as bad as the man who touched her?

  Maybe.

  I didn’t care though because I’m not sick like him.

  I’ve wanted her since the day I pushed her away.

  The day I turned sixteen was when I began training with my father to take over for him. It’s been four long years since that day…now, it’s time to take what’s mine. I gave her freedom to explore, but now playtime is over. I’m ready to take her to my bed and tame the wild kitten.

  I remembered what she said when I asked where she wanted me to take her. She was pressed up against me and whispered. “With you, take me to your bed.”

  In no time, I pulled her to me and shot right out of the back of the club. One of the security men threw me a wink and grinned as I led the Rachel out of the club. The whole way home we couldn’t keep our hands to ourselves. She gripped my tie loosening it up and pulled it over my head. Throwing it behind her, she worked the buttons of my shirt torturously slow.

  Here, I was supposed to be the one teasing her.

  “Slow down, kitten, we have all night to explore.” I groaned in her ear.

  “Don’t you want me, Alex?” Rachel ran her fingers down my chest, purring in my ear.

  “Fuck, Rachel,” A hiss erupted from my mouth. “I do, but I want this to last all night.”

  Oh kitten, if you only knew what you were walking into.

  Catching her was easy, but taming her would take some time.

  “I don’t want slow and easy…I want it hard and fast.” Fuck me, this girl was making it hard to take my time with her.

  “Are you sure? There’s one thing, I’m in control. Do you really want that?” I took two fingers under her chin forcing her to gaze in my eyes.

  “Yes.” She purred, making me think of all the dirty things I would do to her.

  “Last chance, Rachel. Tell me no and I’ll take you home.” I warned.

  “Give me your all, Alex darling.” She purred as I gripped her hips.

  As we pulled up to the estate, I pressed my lips onto her mouth. I opened the door and helped her out, slamming the door. We stepped into the estate and received questioning glances from everyone. Luka looked up from his phone and raised an eyebrow. While, Lydia and Anna shared a grin with each other. My mother had been harassing me about finding a nice girl to settle down with. Just as we made it to my room, I was met with my father. I leaned over and whispered in Rachel’s ear. “Go on in and make yourself comfortable. I need a word with my father.”

  I waited until she closed the door and I asked. “Yes?”

  “Son, what are you doing with Giovanni’s daughter?” He narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest.

  “She’s staying the night.” I replied.

  He glanced down to my chest and sighed. My shirt was still unbuttoned and had a scratch from Rachel’s nails. “I hope you know what you’re doing. Does her father even know she’s gone?”

  “Giovanni is out of town with Rose. Don’t worry, everything will be fine.” I assured him, throwing him a wink.

  “I was just coming to tell you and I are going to have to go out and get your mother a gift. She wants to have a traditional Christmas this year. We leave at nine in the morning.”

  “I’ll be ready. I’m turning in early tonight, I have a guest.”

  “Just…use protection. I don’t need an angry Giovanni or Tate knocking on the door wondering why Rachel is pregnant.”

  I nodded and stepped into my room stripping out of my jacket and shirt. Rachel had already stripped out of the dress and waiting for me on my bed. She propped herself up on her elbows and spread her legs. “Come join me, Alex.”

  I crawled on the bed and trailed kisses along her stomach up to her chest. With my arms one each side of her head, I gazed into her eyes. “Remember, I’m in charge tonight. Now, put your arms above your head.”

  “Yes, I always knew you had a kinky side.” She moaned out wrapping her legs around my waist.

  “Oh baby, you have no idea how dark I am.” I said with a grin as I secured her wrists to the headboard. “I’m going to make you come, over and over again.”

  “Yes, fuck me. Right fucking now.” She grinded her hips against me making throb under my pants.

  “By the end of the night, you will be screaming my name until your throat is so sore from all the begging.” I unbuckled my belt and unfastened my pants freeing my cock. I pumped myself as I slid her panties to the side and thrust into her not caring if I had protection or not. If I was going to fuck her, it was going to be bareback. Skin to skin.

  “Fuck Alex, harder.” Her voice let out a guttural moan as I fucked her deep and hard. The harder the thrust…the louder the scream.

  Sorry father, but I couldn’t help myself.

  She is mine to mark.

  To tame and claim.

  “Rachel, you feel so good.” I pulled out and thrust harder than the last time. Fuck me, she looks so good tied to my bed with her legs wrapped around my waist.

  I could feel my balls tighten up as her walls squeezed my cock. I knew I should pull out and do the right thing, but for some reason I couldn’t find it in me. I was a bad, bad boy for doing this. I pulled out and untied her wrists as I gave her a kiss. I deepened it and whispered against her as she moaned. “I’m sorry, kotenok.”

  I stood up and grabbed a towel and cleaned her up. Cleaning myself, I could feel the slight guilt tugging at my heart. I laid down next to her and pulled her in my chest placing a kiss on her temple. “Good night, kitten.”

  “Good night, Alex.” I heard her whisper as I closed my eyes.

  The next morn
ing, I woke up to an empty bed. No sign that Rachel had ever been here except for the scent of her on my sheets. I threw the covers off me and pulled on a pair of sweats and shirt before heading downstairs. As soon as I entered the dining room, everyone glanced up to me. My father smiled, while everyone else just went about their business. I started to eat my pancakes, but my father’s voice made me stop mid-air. “She left about four o’clock this morning, in case your wondering.”

  “I wasn’t.” I lied shrugging my shoulders as if I didn’t care.

  In reality, I was fuming she left without saying goodbye.

  Or at least kissing me before leaving

  Maybe this was my payback for pushing her away.

  Don’t worry Rachel, I’ll be seeing you very soon.

  Sooner than you think, kitten.

  Rachel

  Stupid.

  I’m so fucking stupid for sleeping with him.

  “Rachel, how come you’re not eating?” Caterina asked.

  “Hmm?” I hummed as I thought about last night.

  “You need to eat. We’re all worried about you.” Caterina sighed, glancing toward my brother’s seat. He had yet to come down. I knew he was upset with me after all that happened in the past week.

  “I’m just not hungry. I promise I’ll eat this muffin up in my room. I just need to be alone.” I said plucking a blueberry muffin from the basket and grabbed my bottled water.

  The truth of the matter was, I couldn’t get Alex out of my head. I thought if I fucked him one good time I would get him out of my system. That was a big mistake on my part. If anything, it made me think of that dream over and over. The one I had before I spread my legs for him. I threw my muffin and water on my desk and walked to my bed. I laid down and closed my eyes thinking about how hot he was in the dream.

  Alexander watched me as I swayed my hips from side to side and ran my hands down my breasts. I could see his hand reach down to his protruding erection and rub it through his pants. The more I danced…the harder he breathed. I bit my lip as I approached him and slid my arms around his neck lowering my mouth next to his ear. “Do you want me, Alexander?”

  “Yes, more than anything.” His hands found my hips, pulling me down on his lap.

  “Prove it, show me how bad you want my pussy.” I ran my hands through his hair and yanked his head back.

  “Fuck kitten, how much more proof do you need. My cock is digging in your panties just waiting for you.” I inched forward and pressed my lips against his, bringing him in for a kiss.

  I opened my eyes and looked down to my wrists. I rubbed my right one with my left hand. Everything about last night was amazing and he definitely didn’t disappoint. No, it was just a fuck…nothing else. He’s the one who abandoned me four years ago. He used me to get close to my brother. I sighed and rolled over on my side with him fresh on my brain. No matter what I tried to do, he was everywhere.

  In my dreams.

  Everywhere I went to escape from my family.

  He’s like a damn disease you can’t get rid of.

  A thorn embedded so deep in my side…so deep I’m bleeding out.

  “Rachel,” Tate cleared his throat standing in the door. “I need a word with you.”

  “Tate, not now. I don’t want to hear it.” I sighed rubbing my temples.

  “No, I’m going to talk and you’re going to listen. I understand you’re hurting and I’m sorry that happened-”

  “Stop please, I don’t want your pity.” I cut him off.

  “I don’t pity you, sister. I just want to help you, we all want to help you.” His gaze softened, looking at me with pity.

  “I said I’m fine!” I hissed.

  “I know you’re lying to me, but that’s okay. You have to let someone in. If not your family, then at least talk to Alex.” He said.

  “I’m going to stop you right there. I’m not talking to that asshole about it.”

  “So, you sleep with assholes now?” He asked.

  “I didn’t sleep with Alex.” I lied.

  “Good, then it won’t be awkward when he comes over for dinner tonight.” He informed me and walked out of my room.

  I’m so screwed.

  I’m going to have to sit through dinner, without having inappropriate thoughts.

  An hour later, I’m dressed in a white off the shoulder dress with matching shoes. Apparently, my brother invited Alexander for dinner for some odd reason. As long as I don’t make eye contact with his sexy face, I should be okay. I’m sure he is probably pissed I skipped out on him. I took my seat at the table as quietly as possible. I knew Alex was here, but hadn’t stepped into the dining room yet.

  “There she is, my feisty little kitten.” His sexy voice drawled out in a slight Russian accent.

  “Alex darling, what a pleasant surprise.” I replied averting my eyes.

  “You know what isn’t a pleasant surprise?” He sat next to me and leaned into my ear. “Waking up without you in my bed.”

  “Stop it, my brother will be coming in at any time.” I hissed, digging my nails in his thigh.

  “I should’ve kept you tied to my bed. That way, you wouldn’t be able to escape me…I’ll have to remember that for next time.”

  “There won’t be a next time.” I said.

  “That’s where you’re wrong, kitten. There will be lots of next times.” He replied as his hand laid flat on my thigh. His fingers inched closer to my inner thigh, making me glare at him.

  “Get your fucking hands off me before my family comes in and sees.” I hissed, yanking his hand off my thigh.

  “Tate, there you are.” Alexander said standing up, straightening his suit.

  “No, stay there. You are our guest after all.” Tate said, throwing me a glance.

  Fucking Tate, I’m going to get you for this!

  “You know what, I’m just going to go up to my room.” I said angrily, but Alex pulled me back down harshly.

  “No Rachel, you are going to stay and have dinner with our guest. Don’t be rude, sister.” My brother said, throwing me a smirk.

  “I’ll be right back. I just need a minute to freshen up.” I narrowed my eyes and glared.

  I stormed away and stepped into the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, I sighed to myself. I was meant to avoid Alex at all costs, but now he had me backed in the corner with nowhere to go. I was so screwed. I took a deep breath and opened the door only to gasp as I was pushed against the wall. Alexander’s dark eyes met mine, making me gulp. I tried to push his face away, but he let out a growl of frustration. “Rachel, stop fighting me and let me in.”

  “I did that four years ago and you used me.” I cried out, trying not to let him see my tears.

  “Rachel-” He whispered.

  “No Alexander, don’t you fucking Rachel me! I only had sex with you to let you know how it feels. So Alex, tell me how it feels to be used and discarded like a dirty piece of trash. Fuck. You.” I began to feel my blood boil as he kept me pushed against the wall.

  “Fuck me?” He laughed hysterically. “We already played that game and you lost. I will have you in my bed again completely at my mercy…just you wait.” He said and pulled me in for a kiss. Then releases me, walking away. Leaving me more confused than ever.

  The bad part about it, I wanted more.

  Don’t fall for it, Rachel.

  He’ll only hurt you like last time.

  Alexander

  This was a bad idea coming here. I told Tate I should come when she wasn’t around, but he told me it would be fine. How wrong he was. It wasn’t because I was afraid to face her. It was because I knew if I saw her again, I’d want to fuck her again. I wanted to throw her on the table and rip that dress off her the second I seen her. Bend her over and slam my cock in her pussy…punish her for leaving the way she did.

  “Did you fuck my sister?” Tate asked as I walked back in the room.

  “What? No, why would I fuck her?” I s
pluttered.

  “You did. You’re forgetting one thing about me, I can always tell when someone is lying. So, tell me the truth. Did you fuck my sister?”

  “No.” I clenched my teeth standing nose to nose with him.

  “Good, keep it that way. We don’t need you distracted while we’re trying to get this deal. We can’t afford to fuck this up.” He warned as he stepped back.

  “I know that and you have nothing to worry about. Just worry about keeping this from your sister. She would freak if she knew what you were really doing.”

  “Fucking keep it down! She could hear you. Just be at the warehouse at ten on Tuesday.” Tate hissed.
