And I'd instantly been attracted to him. That innocent desire had changed and shifted to something deeper, more meaningful… more obscene.
Now three years later, I am wildly in love with him.
And when I find myself alone with him, and after consuming one too many drinks, I throw caution to the wind and just give in to my feelings. But I get the shock of my life when Ivan is all about reciprocating… in every single filthy way.
But this isn’t just a one-night fling, apparently, because Ivan refuses to let me go. I’m his, and that’s fine by me.
And when I find myself pregnant by my big, burly Russian, I’m afraid things will deteriorate by the sudden reality of our future. When I reveal the biggest surprise we will probably ever have, will Ivan back out, or will he be ready for the biggest ride of our lives?
Lena's note: I know you like them fast and right to the point so don’t worry, this one gives you all the goods with Double V goodness, a hero with a delicious Russian accent, and all the romantic filth to whet your appetite! Enjoy this good old-fashioned safe smut-fest.
