Hi you guys and welcome to a brand new chapter, and it is right on time :-)

There is some lime in this chapter as well as some other sexual themes but nothing too explicit, and also no lemons, but still, for those who are not a huge fan if the citrus scenes, just a heads up for you; other than that, there are no further warnings that I can think of right now, so without wasting your time much longer, enjoy it ;-D


Chapter 32.2 – the final good bye

Kai takes another deep breath in an attempt to suppress a groan but he fails and ends up groaning anyway while he stands still for a few seconds before taking another few steps towards his desk.

The pain between his legs passes and he takes a deep breath before taking on the last few feet towards his desk, and after sitting down, another groan is heard coming from Kai while he scrunches his eyes shut to try and overcome the pain that is pulsing in between his legs.

Kai is suffering from a horrible case of blue balls, and he has been in this agony since last night after he and Mya had put a stop to their heated affair on the couch within his study, and now Kai regrets that he did not go all the way, he almost regretting it as much as to having started that heated moment between Mya and himself while he knew that they would not end up making love, and he would rather instead end up in pain, just like now.

Kai takes a cigarette from the packet and lights it, and just then Vera calls to inform him that Tala and Alisia are here, Kai softly sighing to this because he actually had forgotten all about his meeting, and all because his balls feels like they want to suffocate and then murder him, and Kai is not certain whether he is in the mood for company right now.

Alisia is the first to walk into the office, and as always, she is beaming like a ray of sunlight with all of her love and craziness, Tala obediently following his wife. It is not an official meeting, more like a coffee date and Alisia was the one who had arranged this because she said that they all have been so busy now a day that there is hardly any time for a good cup of coffee among friends, and the only way to ensure that they, especially her, gets to see Kai is to make an official appointment at his office, hence why she and Tala are here.

"What's up, Kai? Miss us?" Alisia asks while she makes her way towards the couch area where she immediately takes a seat and makes herself comfortable, Tala following suit, and the moment he is also seated comfortably on the couch, Alisia turns in her seat and places her legs onto Tala's lap, she now sitting in such a manner that she can also look at Kai who is still sitting at his desk.

"Vera already ordered the coffee and snacks so they should be here any minute," Alisia says to which Kai only nods at but he makes no move to stand up from his chair to join his two friends, he really being in a lot of pain right now.

"How's Mya, Kai? I haven't seen in her so long."

"She's good," Kai says and it is suddenly clear in his tone of voice that he does not feel well, he hoping that Alisia and Tala will not notice but that is just wishful thinking.

"Oh come on, Kai, are you seriously going to sit there the entire time? We have an appointment, now attend to us," Alisia scolds and crosses her arms in front of his chest which just causes Tala to snigger at his wife; Alisia never wastes time in showing and telling Kai who the real boss is around here which is definitely not him.

Kai groans silently to himself because just thinking of getting up causes another wave of pain to run through his body, the pain stemming from between his legs; Kai knows that they will immediately see that something is wrong and he is really not in the mood to tell them about his 'personal' issue that has stemmed from the lack of sex. Alisia will no doubt have a field day and have something to say about that, and she will even try to give some ludicrous advice, and Kai just shudders upon thinking what might come out of Alisia's mouth regarding his blue balls; Alisia Ivanov does not give normal advice.

Just then a knock is heard on the door and then one of the kitchen staff members of the company comes walking in while pushing a trolley with coffee, tea, various fruits and also various snacks and sweet stuffs, Alisia only squealing and clapping her hands together when she sees all of the treats and she wastes no time in getting up and getting herself one of the sweet puddings.

"Coffee, my love?" Alisia asks while holding an empty cup in hand after taking a bite from the pudding and Tala grins at his wife while nodding his head to indicate that he also wants coffee.

"And you, Kai?" and again Alisia receives a nod, but she immediately puts the cup down and puts her hands on her hips while looking at Kai with a playful scowl on her face, "I am only going to pour you a cup if you get up off of your ass and come here because I am not your servant who is going to walk all the way there, Kai; you will sit with us, HERE, so get a move on, Hiwatari."

Kai sighs tiredly because Alisia is right, and after bracing himself and taking a deep breath, Kai puts both of his hands on to the surface of the desk and lifts himself up with a lot of effort, and at once he flinches as pain again shoots up from between his legs but he tries to hide it, and after gathering his phone and smoking stuff, he slowly starts to make his way towards the couch area, he walking slowly as he tries to hide his hurtful discomfort and he is certain that he is succeeding because neither Tala nor Alisia notices anything, and fortunately Alisia is currently pouring the coffee into the three cups.

However, just as Kai is almost at the couch, Alisia looks up briefly at him and she immediately notices that something is wrong and she does not even think twice in not asking, "What the hell is wrong with you? It looks like you are clenching a spiked rock up in your ass."

Kai immediately stops in his tracks and now Tala also looks at him, and seeing as he is closer to Kai, he can now see that Kai is actually looking a little pale, "Hey, you okay?" he asks while he gets up to come and stand right next to Kai, and Kai being his prideful self, glares at his two friends but it does absolutely nothing to them.

"I'm fine," he snaps at them and then again walks towards the couch but with the first step, a shot of pain shoots into his legs and without thinking, Kai grabs hold of Tala's arm, the married couple only looking at each other before turning their attention back on to Kai, the two now convinced that something is wrong with Kai.

They don't say anything and Tala helps Kai towards the couch where he also helps his friend sit down, and after both Alisia and Tala take a seat after she has given everyone their coffee, they turn their full attention on to Kai, the business mogul feeling like he can just jump from his window out of sheer shame.

Kai takes a new cigarette and lights it and then he leans back against the back rest of the couch, he wanting to cross his legs but hisses out in pain when pain again shoots into his legs.

"Okay, out with it, Hiwatari, what the hell is going on? Do you really have something up your ass or what?"

"No," Kai answers bluntly, he knowing that he has to tell them eventually.

"Then what is going on?"

Kai sighs as he sits up straight to tip the ashes of the cigarette into the ash tray, and again he hisses out in pain; he picks up the ashtray and falls back against the back rest and puts the ashtray on to his lap and then looks at Tala and Alisia who still has their full attention on him.

Kai takes another drag while looking directly at his two friends, he contemplating on how he is going to tell them what is going on, 'Maybe I should do what Alisia always does, and just say it as truthful as it can be.'

"I have blue balls, a very bad case of blue balls."

Silence descends upon them for a few seconds before Alisia bursts out laughing, and it is not just a giggle or a snigger, but a full on out-of-the-stomach-rolling-in-the-dirt-laugh, and Tala also cannot help but laugh along with his wife, but at least it is not as hysterical as his wife's laughter.

Kai only narrows his eyes at his friends, but he is not completely shocked because he did expect it; it actually would have been weird if they did not laugh, especially Alisia; for some strange and unexplainable manner, Kai's anguish has always entertained Alisia, something that he will never understand why, but why would he understand it? Alisia is nuts.

"I'm glad that my pain brings you so much joy; please do not stop laughing," Kai says rather sarcastically as he takes another drag from his cigarette.

Tears are streaming from Alisia's eyes while her face is already red from all of the laughing and just as one thinks that she is about to calm down from the hard laughing, she looks at Kai and then she starts to laugh hysterically all over again.

Tala at least has managed to calm down a bit because even though it may be as funny as hell, blue balls is not joke; he knows all about that agony, and that all thanks to his lunatic wife who is still laughing her lungs out of her body.

Finally, which almost seemed inevitable, Alisia finally gets a grip on herself and she wipes away the tears from her eyes while grinning like crazy at Kai, the mob boss not amused at all. Alisia takes a sip from her coffee and also leans back against the back rest of the couch and still grins at Kai.

"I'm sorry for my fit of laughter, Kai, but you, blue balls? How is that even possible?"

"I am still a man, Alisia, and as far as my knowledge goes, if a man has balls, he will experience blue balls."

Alisia snorts at this, "I know that but you have never had it before, so why now? Mya driving you that mad in bed?"

"We haven't had sex yet," is all that Kai says to that, and now he is the one to smirk when he sees how all the colour suddenly drains from both Tala and Alisia's faces.

"How...how is that even...?" Alisia being unable to finish her question due to sheer shock.

"Possible? It is possible, Alisia."

"B...but how? I mean, Kai, come on, you guys have been together for so long already, and you mean to tell me that you have not had sex yet?"

Kai only nods at Alisia, he also somewhat unable to believe it now that he hears it from someone else because now he realises that it really is so unlike him, but then again, he has never been in love before, and love does strange things to a person.

"And you guys have been together for how long now?"

"Today it is exactly six weeks."

Tala only whistles at that, "No wonder you have blue balls, dude."

"Yeah, Kai, you must be in agony right now."

Kai again just nods at that, agony is actually an understatement to this blue balls situation.

"Kai, when last did you have sex?" Alisia asks, and she almost sounds concerned, something she is not really known for because she is as hard and cold as they come, and she does not care about her uncaring attitude.

"Valeria was the last person that I had slept with," and now after saying that, Kai realises just how long it has really been since he has had sex last, and for him to be this long without sex...it is unthinkable.

Alisia's mouth drops open and Tala's eyes widen upon hearing this little revelation because it really is unheard of, "Jesus Almighty, Kai, you must be backed up till your ears; it is a miracle your balls have not exploded yet, you poor thing."

"Tell me about it, so now you know why I am in pain."

"But why haven't you guys had sex yet, Kai? No offence, but it is just unlike you to be this long without sex."

"We wanted to wait a while and until the time is right."

"You poor, poor thing; that is romantic and all that, but shame, your poor balls, Kai; doesn't jerking help?"

Kai immediately frowns at Alisia, he not really understanding what she means by that, and Tala and Alisia just look at each other when they see the questioning look on Kai's face, the married couple immediately knowing what that look means.

"Kai, have you not masturbated yet? You know that it will help with the blue balls and it will keep the tension away until you and Mya decide the time is right?" Tala says because he just cannot believe that Kai has not masturbated yet.

"I don't play with myself, Tala, what's the matter with you?"

Again Tala and Alisia look at each other before turning their attention back onto Kai, Alisia now the one to speak, "What do you mean that you don't play with yourself, Kai? Have you even tried it?"

"In case you two have forgotten, by the time I reached the age where boys discover themselves, I was already having sex, so no, I have never tried it, and I also never had any reason to play with myself because I was having enough sex on a regular basis, so again, there was no reason for me to play with myself."

"Unbelievable, Hiwatari," Tala says while he now calls Kai on his surname, the poor man in a state of shock because of Kai's actual lack of experience in that department, "You have to be the only man alive who has never touched himself; have you like never even tried it, not even while being with a woman because I know that some women find it very sexy when a man strokes himself as a way to spice things up."

"This is really getting too personal, and I am not the only man alive who has never masturbated before; there are millions of us."

Tala shrugs at this, "Maybe, but in all honesty, Kai, if you don't find a solution in making your blue balls disappear, you will not be able to please Mya when you start having sex, and not even to mention that you probably won't even be able to get it in because you will immediately blow your load. If you want your first time with Mya to be special and memorable, you will have to masturbate, Kai. It may not seem like your cup of tea, but for the greater good, you will have to do it."

"Tala is right, Kai; it may seem beneath you but you will have to do it. It is a natural thing anyway and no one frowns upon it; the only time people will frown upon it is if you do it in a church, that is just damn disrespectful and they deserve to have their things cut off, but anyway, getting off topic, you have to do it. It will not only help with the pain but it will also help make your first time with Mya very special and it will definitely last longer than five minutes, and I am certain that Mya would not be happy if her first time with you ends up being a two minute quickie, so I suggest you get your hands dirty, Hiwatari."

Kai has no idea what to say to all of this; never, not even once, has the idea of pleasuring himself crossed his mind, and even now...just thinking about it makes him feel so uncomfortable on the inside, but Tala and Alisia are right; he has to do this, and he has to do it as soon as possible.

"I suggest you do it tonight, Kai; make an evening out of it. Call Mya and tell her that you have some business shit to attend to, and then you lock your bedroom door, maybe light a few candles," to this Kai only raises an eyebrow at Alisia and he does not look amused, "Okay, skip the candles then, but yeah, switch off your phone and then start with it. Just think of something sexy or think about Mya, or you can even watch porn or something, but you have to do this ASAP, Kai, for your own good, oh, and before I forget, use lube; without lube it sucks ass big time and it is anything but enjoyable, so get enough lube."

'Me, playing with myself and making an evening out of it? What the hell? What has the world come to? If I knew that this was going to be the consequences of wanting to wait for sex with Mya, I never would have suggested it and I would most definitely have taken her that night after I confessed my feelings to her, but what's done is done, so this may be my only way out of this agony, and yes, I do want to make my first time with Mya very special, and if that means that I will have to touch myself, then so be it. In all honesty, I wish we could start making love already, but as long as something is holding Mya back, that is not going to happen anytime soon. I guess that I will have to start getting use to my own hand then, yay,' Kai thinking the last word in a very sarcastic manner.

Kai is brought out of his sudden train of thoughts when Alisia starts talking again, "So, Hiwatari, what do you say, are you going to make the bald man cry, yank the rod?" and the grin that accompanies this question says all what is really intended with this question, Alisia also having that naughty gleam within her eye and Kai can only roll his eyes at her.

"That is none of your business, Alisia."

"Aah, come on, Kai," Alisia says while she pretends to pout, "You don't have to be specific, just a simple 'yes' or 'no' would do."

"No."

"No, as in you won't make the bald man cry, or no as in you are not going to give me any details."

Kai again just raises an eyebrow at Alisia in an un-amused manner, this being the only answer that she will get regarding this topic.

Alisia sighs, "Fine then, be that way, Kai, but just remember, I can also be very selfish with information when the moment calls for it; what goes around comes around."

"If you are not going to answer her, you can at least answer me, Kai," Tala says, he also curious as to whether Kai will try to relieve himself of his blue ball situation, "and you don't have to be ashamed about it, Kai; I am a married man and even I do it sometimes, with Alisia's knowledge of course, and even I get blue balls because Alisia can be a real sadist sometimes who prohibits me from playing with myself, and usually when she is in that mood, she is the horniest woman on two legs, so yeah, I know all about blue balls and playing with yourself," the blonde haired woman only grinning at her husband after Tala says that she can be a sadist.

"I thought getting married means that you don't have to do that anymore, that's what the wife is there for."

"Excuse me," Alisia suddenly exclaims, she really not impressed with Kai's comment, "Wives are not there to stroke their husbands' dicks 24/7, so get that stupid illusion out of your head right now, Kai. Now that you are in a real relationship, you will see what it is all about, and I hope Mya makes you pay for thinking that it is a woman's job to stroke your shit all the time."

Kai sniggers at Alisia, "Don't get your thong in a twist, Alisia, I was just joking; I know a woman's work is more than just stroking her man, she also needs to suck him off every once in a while," and right after having said this, Kai is thrown with a scone, compliments of Alisia, and this immediately causes the three friends to just start laughing and to finally start enjoying their appointment, Kai's blue balls a forgotten topic for now, well, not for Kai because the pain still reminds him of his dilemma, but at least they are not discussing it anymore, much to his relief.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

It is just past ten and Kai is lying on his back while in bed, he contemplating with himself on whether he should really do what Tala and Alisia had said he should do, or should he just remain in pain?

'This is ridiculous; I am Kai Hiwatari, and I don't masturbate; it is done for me, but this is something that I have to do myself because if I get someone else to do it for me, that would be cheating and I am not a cheater, so no, I have to do this on my own.'

Kai glances at the tube of lube on his bed stand, he struggling to get the courage to go through with this; he is already naked under the covers, but it still feels weird for him knowing that he will have to get an erection just so that he can pleasure himself.

Kai suddenly groans to himself and drags both of his hands down his face in a frustrated manner, 'I could have been with Mya right now, but then again, I would have been in constant pain if I were with her tonight and I would not have enjoyed her company so much. I should not have gotten carried away so much last night, this is my own fault.'

Kai places his hands on his lap and glances at the tube of lube once more, the tube coming from the time he was with Valeria but at least it is still good enough to be used, and while looking at the lube, Kai tries to see himself touching himself and jerking himself until he comes, and just like that, a shudder goes through his entire body because it just seems so unnatural to him, the prospect of making himself come.

'Curse Mina for taking away that experience away from me, the experience of getting to know my own body by my own hand; I know it is a normal thing, but it just feels so strange. Maybe I should just do it and get it over with, and it is like Alisa had said, it will take away the tension, not just the pain, and it would be nice to have painless balls for a change. Who knew that blue balls can hurt so much?'

Kai takes a deep breath, "Just one cigarette and then I will do it," he says to himself, he trying to get into the right mindset to attempt this new mission in his life, this new journey of 'self discovery'.

Kai reaches for his packet of cigarettes and lights one and then lies down with his left arm behind his head while he leisurely smokes away, he doing all that he can to get into the right set of mind because there is no turning back after this cigarette.

In no time is the cigarette finished, much to Kai's displeasure, and he again groans to himself because now the time has finally come where he has to touch himself. Kai takes the tube of lube and switches off the light because he would feel way too ashamed if he had to do it with the light on; with sex he has no problem of doing it with the lights on, but this is something completely different.

Kai tosses the covers back and puts some lube on his right hand and also tosses the tube to the side, and after taking a deep breath, he takes his limp penis in hand, he not sure what to do right now, like what should he do to get it erect, should he stroke it until it becomes erect or does get it erect all on its own?

Suddenly Kai reminds himself of a virgin who has never even heard of sex before or how it all works, and who also has no idea what the thing between his legs does, and Kai can't believe that he is in this position right now, a feared and respected mob boss in bed by himself and not sure what to do with his limp penis.

'My pride just got one hell of a knock,' he thinks to himself while he continues to just hold his limp penis in his hand, he being completely clueless right now.

'Okay, Alisia said to think of something sexy, and Mya is sexy; okay, I will think about her, and...think about last night; that is after all the reason why I am in this mess right now.'

Kai finally closes his eyes and makes himself completely comfortable, and he quickly starts to think back to last night, he thinking about everything he did to Mya while they were on the couch.

He can still feel her heated breath on his lips as he drove her crazy with lust, and he can still feel her naked skin against his own after he undressed her. He remembers how it had felt exploring her naked body with his hands, he memorising each and every curve of her sexy toned body, and how she reacted whenever he touched a certain spot on her body.

Her moans are still fresh within his mind as well as the glazed over eyes, the desire clearly visible within those beautiful and precious spring green coloured orbs of hers. The way she arched her naked body against his was beyond passionate and it did wonders for him to see her squirm like that underneath him.

Unbeknownst to Kai, he is already sporting a very impressive erection and he has already started to stroke it slowly, he already feeling a bit of pleasure but he still thinks that it comes from thinking back to last night.

Kai sees himself move his kisses down her naked upper body and how he nips at her skin every now and then; he stops at her phoenix tattoo and licks all over it, and again another moan is herd coming from Mya while she again arches her body, this causing a smirk to form on Kai's mouth.

Kai suddenly also arches his body as the pleasure within his own body starts to get stronger and stronger, he still unaware that he is jerking himself, and he is not doing it slowly, more like a man who knows how to pleasure himself.

Kai can still feel Mya's perky nipples within his mouth and how he twirls his tongue around them while at the same time he massages her breasts gently with his hands, and he can already see himself continuing to kiss her precious lady mounds while he makes love to her over and over again, and he can also already feel her inner cavern clench and unclench around his member while he continuously moves in and out of her in a manner that will make Mya know just how much he feels for her.

Kai starts to stroke even faster because he can feel how his edge is coming closer, and it has not even been three minutes, the mob boss still lost in his thoughts and unaware that he is about to make himself come.

Mya's lips are parted as she heaves for air from pure lust, Kai glancing up at her while he starts to kiss her bikini line, he desperate to go down on her and to taste her once more, all while looking up at her to see what his oral skills are doing to her. He sees how she grabs the couch and how her chest continues to rise and fall, and he can already see how she digs her nails into his back while he drives himself into her over and over again.

Over and over and over again...

Kai scrunches his eyes shut and arches his body while a deep moan is heard from him, this all happening while his own lukewarm essence shoots on to his stomach, but he continues to jerk until he feels the life drain from his entire body, and after the powerful climax subsides, Kai's entire body relaxes and now he is the one left heaving.

He still has his hand on his penis which is slowly starting to become limp and now finally realisation dawns upon Kai of what has just really happened: he has just made himself come, he has just had his first masturbating session by his own hand, and it was not that bad; it was actually great.

A minute or so goes by before Kai slowly opens up his eyes, he smiling to himself because of what he has just done, "Now that was something else," he says to himself and he finally releases the hold on his limp penis, and he quickly reaches for the box of tissues that is on his bed stand, he desperate to clean himself now.

He starts to clean himself, but he continues to smile to himself while doing this, because not only was it very pleasurable, but he hasn't felt this good in a long time, "Alisia was right, it does relieve the tension. Is this what I have been missing all this time? I should organise a paid holiday for Tala and Alisia just to show my appreciation for their brilliant advice. The days of Kai having blue balls are over, as in FOREVER."

Kai finishes up in cleaning himself and after being certain that he is once again completely comfortable and clean, he again lights another cigarette and just lies back while enjoying his new and improved body, a body with no pain and with no blue balls, and also a body that feels so much lighter, like a mountain has literally been lifted from his shoulders.

'Tomorrow I will call Tala and Alisia and tell them thank you; I feel so good that I will even give Alisia details if she wants to,' Kai chuckling to himself about the last part because he can already hear her squeal over the phone when he tells her that he will give her all of the details.

Kai takes another drag from the cigarette and blows the smoke slowly up into the air, "And now I am ready to make love to you, Mi Amor, and to do it in a way which only a real man knows how to, in a long and passionate manner."

77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777

Mya can only smile to herself while she continues to look at the album that contains all of the photos of Bryan and her, it being the photo album that Elena had given her before she moved to St Petersburg with her husband. She is actually glad that Kai had called and said that they will not be able to see each other tonight because he is busy, and it gives her time to get her mind and thoughts in order.

Tomorrow is the day that she is going to go and talk to Bryan, and she is already as nervous as hell about it, her stomach already doing all kinds of flips and somersaults from sheer nervousness, but Mya knows that it is time for that conversation. Last night with Kai, she wanted them to make love so badly, but that voice kept telling her that the moment is not right because she still has some unfinished business, and that voice has prevented her from fully enjoying her time with Kai.

Last night was also the first time that Kai and she had gotten that heated, as in out of control heated, and she still has no idea how Kai had managed to have all of that self control and being able to stop after all of that; the only thing that was preventing her from going all the way was because of her guilty conscious or something like that.

Her body was aching for Kai to take her, but her heart and mind were screaming something else, and after last night, she is now more determined than ever to go and see Bryan and to tell him exactly what is going on between her and Kai and why she has not killed the black phoenix yet.

'I just hope that you will understand, my love; I did not plan for this to happen, not in a million years would I have planned to fall in love with my family's murderer, but it has happened; in some sick and twisted way, I ended falling in love with the heartless killer that is Kai Hiwatari, and I do not regret it for one moment. I will always love you; you will always be my first love, but like most love stories, we do not always end up with our first loves, a sad reality but reality none the less.'

Mya slowly touches Bryan's face in the picture with her right index finger, her heart suddenly hurting because now it finally dawns on her that tomorrow will not only be the day when she sees Bryan to tell him about her and Kai, but it will also be the day where she will greet him, most likely forever, and that prospect suddenly hurts her more than she wants to admit or more than she wants to feel.

'I just hope that I will be strong enough to do it, and not chicken out before I have even seen Bryan; it would be great to see him again, but who knows how he may react? Maybe he will surprise me and take it well, or maybe he will shock me and resort back to that Sevastyan...' and just then a shudder goes through Mya's body upon thinking back to the first time she had encountered this Sevastyan, the first time being at the cabin, and in all honesty, if she never gets to meet this Sevastyan ever again, it would be too soon.

Mya already has some idea on how she is going to start the conversation, but she already knows that she can rehears it all night as much as she wants to but the moment she sees Bryan tomorrow, she will forget everything, so what is the use of saying it within her head over and over again? Love has never allowed anyone to stick to their true plans and words, hence why everyone always makes a mess of their words, so yeah, she will most likely also make a catastrophic mess tomorrow, but at least this is Bryan, the man who has seen her at her best and who has also seen her at her worst, so that at least does bring her some kind of comfort, but unfortunately not enough.

'See you soon, my love.'

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Mya is sitting in her pick-up truck, both hands clenching the steering wheel while she continues to look at the bar ahead, this being the bar where it had all began, and she can see Bryan's truck parked right next to the bar which means that he is here; for some strange reason, Mya had the feeling that she should come here first before going to the home that she had shared with Bryan, and now she knows why, and she is actually glad that she is going to find Bryan here, this place being a bit more public, even if it is on the outskirts of the city.

She puts on her jacket and scarf because it is a bit chilly this morning, meaning that summer is slowly coming to an end, much to the displeasure of Mya; she is not ready to greet the warm weather and be embraced by snow and cold; her mood is not ready for that yet.

Mya takes a deep breath and finally opens up the door after releasing the breath of air, she slowly starting to make her way towards the bar.

77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777

Bryan is sitting peacefully behind his desk while drinking a cup of coffee and reading some news articles on line when his bar man comes walking into the room, "There is black haired woman looking for you, she is waiting out front."

Bryan nods and when his bar man leave, he frowns because why would a woman come looking for him, and here of all places? And a black head? He can't think of any black haired woman that he has hooked up with recently, so who could be looking for him right now?

Bryan finishes the last bit of his coffee in one go and gets up, he rather curious to see who this woman is. He makes his way to the front and he sees the back of the woman, she looking at the pictures on the wall, and he silently walks towards her, but the closer he gets to the woman, he starts to recognise more and more of this woman, he not entirely sure whether his eyes are currently deceiving him or not.

'Sweetness?' Bryan thinks to himself while it suddenly feels like his heart wants to stop beating, because can it really be her, can it really be her here after all this time?

Bryan stops about two feet away from her, he only clearing his throat to catch her attention because he is suddenly unable to find his voice, and when the mystery woman finally turns around to face him, he is met with those beautiful spring green coloured eyes, and at once his heart jumps straight into his throat and his ears close up because it really is her, it really is his sweetness.

Mya can only smile up at Bryan, all words and thoughts suddenly gone from her mind, and without thinking or saying anything, she lunges at Bryan and wraps her arms tightly around his neck, the burly man returning the gesture as he picks her up and holds her tight in his arms, both of them scrunching their eyes shut while they start to get lost within this precious and blessed moment.

"I have missed you so much, my love," Mya says in a soft tone of voice while still holding Bryan so tight like it might seem that her life is depending on it.

"And I have missed you too, sweetness, very much," Bryan says back, he also speaking in a soft tone of voice, he still unable to come to grips that he is actually holding his sweetness in his arms, and in all honesty, he does not want to let her go, not even for a second.

The two former lovers continue to hold each other for a while longer, they getting use to the feeling of being with one another for a change, and it sure feels good, and even though he does not want to let her go, Bryan finally puts Ana down and he just cups her face in both his hands while looking deep into her eyes, he wanting to kiss her but he does not know how she will react seeing as she is Kai's girlfriend now, and that will cause her to cheat on him, even if it will only be kissing, and he doubts that she would want to cheat on Kai.

"What are you doing here, sweetness?" he asks in a caring and yet also concerned tone of voice while smiling softly at her, she returning the smile while she also looks deep into his eyes.

Mya is holding Bryan's hands while he continues to cup her face, and she can literally feel how her heart is breaking because of what she has to tell him because just look at him, look at all of the love that he still feels for her, even after all of this time, 'This is not going to be easy.'

"I came to see you, my love, because there is something you should know, and it is about time that I come clean about it all," Mya says and she feels the knife plunge deeper into her heart with every word that she speaks, she knowing that soon Bryan will also feel that same knife plunge into his heart, and she feels horrible knowing that she will have to break his heart.

Bryan nods at that and releases his hold on her face and instead takes her right hand where he leads her towards the bar where they both take a seat at the bar counter, "Would you like something to drink?" he asks while he and Ana sits as close to each other as possible.

"Just orange juice or any type of juice; I figure it is still too early for something alcoholic."

"I won't tell if you won't, sweetness."

Mya grins at Bryan, "Let's pretend I am not a drinker and that I have never tasted alcohol, so I'll stick to the juice."

Bryan nods his head at that and then motions for his bar man to come closer, "Coffee and juice," this being all that he says before he turns his attention back on to his sweetness, and he can clearly see that she is nervous, and he has a pretty good idea about why she is here, to finally tell him about Kai and her.

"Hey, you okay, sweetness? You look stressed," he says while he gives her hand a squeeze in an attempt to calm her nerves; he does not want her to feel stressed, but rather he wants her to feel comfortable enough to want to tell him the truth about her relationship with Kai.

Mya gives a nervous laugh, "I am a bit nervous, I won't lie, but let me have my juice first, my love, and then I will talk."

Bryan only smiles and nods at her while they fall into a comfortable silence, Bryan still unable to believe that his sweetness is sitting right here next to him, that she is here, even if it means that she is only here to tell him about Kai and her.

"How are things with you, my love? How are Yurik and Grigory, and what about Mystique and Logan, how are our two children doing?"

"The cats are fine, still giving me all my days, but good; I honestly cannot picture a life without them, and Yurik and Grigory are also doing fine; Yurik managed to get himself a girl, a very nice one, the complete opposite of him but they seem very happy together, and I myself am doing good, I honestly have no complaints."

"I see you still have all of your muscles, my love; you still exercising?" and just then their drinks arrive and Mya wastes no time in taking a huge sip before turning her attention back on to him once more after thanking the bar man for their drinks.

Bryan chuckles to this, "The day I stop exercising is the day that you can start arranging my funeral; it is my life, so yeah. And how about you, sweetness, you still coping with the mob life?" and Bryan sees how Ana takes a deep breath of air while turning her face away from him, she now seeming even more nervous than before.

"The mob life is good, my love; in fact, it is great, and I am still surprised at how well I fit into it, given the reason why I had joined it in the first place. I really cannot complain about it, my love."

"Have you...you know, killed someone?"

Bryan immediately sees how something suddenly takes over his Ana, almost like a darkened presence because just then a sadistic grin forms on her face, and a look of darkness forms within her eyes when she turns to face him once more, and for a brief second, she almost resembles Kai and himself when he was still Sevastyan, and Bryan honestly has no idea what to make of this sudden change within his sweet and innocent Ana who suddenly does not seem so sweet and innocent anymore.

"Some have met their end by my hand, Bryan, and I do not regret it for even a second," and Bryan can even hear in her voice that something has definitely changed within Ana, but it seems sexy all the same.

"The first time was horrible, and it was done under Kai's orders, it being his attempt to get rid of me, so yeah, that was a horrible experience and I was ready to quit and let Kai win, but then I managed to gather myself and with new determination, I went back and showed Kai that I belong in this world, and yeah, since then things have gone quite smoothly."

"Kai wanted to get rid of you?" Bryan asks in a surprised manner, he unable to think of a single reason of why Kai wanted to do this.

"Yeah, his reason being that I do not belong in this dark world; he really did not make it easy for me, but in the end, I won over his favour and he has been more tolerable with me," 'more than tolerable if I must be honest,' Mya knowing that soon she will have to spill the truth beans, and she really has no idea how Bryan will react to that news, but so far things seem good between the two of them which she is very grateful for.

"It is not easy winning over Kai, but I am just glad you did, sweetness; now I will be able to sleep easier at night," Bryan says jokingly, he quite anxious in hearing Ana tell the truth about Kai and her being an item.

"You don't have to worry about me, my love; your training is what gets me through the day, each and every day, so you have yourself to thank for for all of my success, you were an excellent instructor, my love, the best."

"Kiss ass," Bryan mutters before taking a sip from his coffee, but he smiles at Ana and the humour is heard within his voice.

Mya smiles back but her smile slowly starts to fade because the time is now to finally confess her relationship with Kai, "As you know by now, my love, I have not killed Kai yet."

"I know, sweetness, and I must admit that I am rather curious as to why not, and you have been in the mob for quite some time now, longer than what was planned."

"There is a reason for that, my love; something happened...between Kai and me," and Mya looks away because she just cannot bear the thought of looking into Bryan's eyes right now.

"You slept with him, didn't you?" and even if it sounds like he is accusing her, that was not Bryan's intention, but it was said in the manner it was said, and there is nothing he can do about it right now.

Mya immediately snaps her head towards Bryan and looks at him with a shocked expression on her face, she not missing the accusation tone within his voice, but at least his eyes are still soft and caring, "No, I didn't sleep with him, my love, but truth be told, it is actually something worse than that," and again Mya looks away from Bryan to start playing with her glass as she turns it in her hands and makes imaginary shapes on the glass with her thumbs, she now even more nervous than a few seconds before.

"We [sighs] we fell in love, Bryan; Kai and I fell in love with each other, and we are currently in a relationship. I am the girlfriend of the man that had murdered my family in cold blood," and there is no denying the hurt that Mya is currently feeling because it is heard clearly within her voice, her voice having dropped a few decibels.

Bryan says nothing and instead only takes both of Mya's hands into his and he holds them tight, this action completely shocking Mya and she can only look at Bryan with wide eyes, her mouth slightly open because she is suddenly at a loss of words because of this move.

Bryan smiles down at her, her shocked expression also looking somewhat funny to him, and he can see that this had to be very hard for her to do, to come here and tell him about Kai and her, and he is not going to hold it against her.

A moment of silence passes between the two before Bryan speaks up, he looking deep into Mya's eyes while still holding both of her hands tightly in his, "Are you happy, sweetness?"

Mya did not expect this question, not at all, but she is glad all the same, "Yeah, for some strange reason, I am happy, my love. I really am happy with Kai. It was never planned for me to fall in love with him, but it happened, and he also fell in love with me, and we are already together for six weeks now, so yeah, it is still early days but I can honestly say that I am happy with him, my love, and I know that I will be happy with him for quite a while."

He does feel hurt, but for some ludicrous reason, after hearing that she is happy and also seeing in her eyes that she really is happy with Kai, he also feels happy for her, 'Maybe this is what real love is really about; her happiness is my happiness, even if it is the arms of someone else.'

"If I am not mistaken, you are Kai's first real girlfriend, sweetness."

Mya immediately grins at this while nodding her head, "Yeah, something that still shocks me seeing as he was some ladies man that never looked for any form of commitment, but it all changed when I came into the picture. I still have no idea how it happened, but yeah, it did."

"Sweetness, I know about you and Kai, and I have known about it for quite a while now."

Her grin disappears within a blink of an eye and her eyes only widen at this, "Wha...what? You...you knew? But how?"

"Ray told me, and I kind of saw it myself, more like heard it myself," and Bryan can only chuckle at Ana's shocked and very confused facial expression, he knowing that he has to elaborate more.

"A few weeks back, Ray ended up here in this bar, out of his mind drunk; I recognised him immediately but he did not recognise me, but anyway, I took him home that night and that is when he divulged about his friend wanting to kill him, Kai being this friend, and how this Kai is out of control because he fell in love with a Mya, so yeah, there was the first time I heard about it. The second time was in Ray's apartment; you and Kai arrived there while I was still in there."

Mya only gasps at this because she knows exactly what night Bryan is talking about, "You, you were the presence that Kai had felt in the bathroom," Mya says in a very shocked tone of voice, she suddenly unable to comprehend the fact that Bryan, she and Kai were all in the same place all at the same time, and things could have turned out very ugly if she had not stopped Kai from going in to that bathroom.

"I was so grateful when you prevented Kai from coming into the bathroom, sweetness, because it would have been a huge disaster if Kai had found me there."

"I can't believe you were there, Bryan, and that you were the one who had brought Ray home; I was kind of wondering how he got home in the first place seeing as he was out of his mind drunk; so all this time, you knew about Kai and me?"

Bryan nods his head at this, and now Mya feels even ten times more horrible than she had before; now she feels like a real heartless bitch that deserves no happiness in this world.

"I heard the kissing between the two of you, sweetness, and yes, I was very confused about what was going on, but I knew that you would come out with the truth sooner or later and tell me about what is going on, and I was right because here you are, sweetness."

Mya can just look at Bryan, her heart breaking even more now, something she did not think could still be possible, and yet it is happening; Bryan had to hear how hot and heavy Kai and she were getting in Ray's place, and she can only imagine how hurtful it must have been for him, to hear the love of your life being ravished by another man, a man that she had intended to kill in the first place, and now she feels absolutely dreadful, almost to the point of wanting to throw up from all of the guilt and hurt that she has caused Bryan.

"Bry...I am sorry for doing this to you, for falling in love with Kai; I know that the plan was for me to go in, kill Kai and then get out so that we can start our lives together, and I am really sorry that this happened, that Kai and me happened, and just FYI, Kai and I haven't had sex yet, just thought I should throw that in there."

Bryan says nothing to this and only pulls Mya into a tight embrace and the former lovers once again hold each other tight for a while, and all of a sudden Mya starts to feel a rush of all sorts of emotions go through her being, she suddenly having no idea what is going on; all she knows is that she wants to get out of here, that she wants to be alone with Bryan.

She abruptly pulls away from Bryan and gets up, this immediately confusing Bryan, "Is there somewhere more private we can go, please?" she asks and Bryan quickly realises that something is amiss with Ana, but he gets up and motions for her to follow him.

Mya follows Bryan to his office and he closes the door behind them after Mya comes in, and the black haired woman just looks around the office while taking off her jacket and scarf.

"Whose place is this?"

"Mine," is all that Bryan says while crossing his arms in front of his chest, and Mya just looks at him with a frown on her face.

"Is...is this bar yours, my love?"

Bryan nods at this, he knowing that he never revealed that piece of information to her.

"Why did you never mention it, my love?"

"You never asked," Bryan says while smirking at her as he takes a seat on the three seated couch and looks up at Ana who now only rolls her eyes him while muttering 'cocky bastard'.

Mya suddenly feels so lost right now, like she has no place where she truly belongs; she has lost herself, and she has no idea on how to get herself back, how to stop feeling so lost and alone right now. Mya tosses her discarded scarf and jacket carelessly onto the desk and turns towards Bryan where she walks towards him, and without saying anything else, she gets on top of him, on top of his lap, the poor man not even having a chance to register what is going on before he feels her capture his lips in a seething kiss while she takes his head in both of her hands.

With his eyes wide he puts his hands on her shoulders and gently pushes her away, and the moment he looks into her eyes, he is once more met with this other woman, this darkened version of Ana, she looking down at him like he is some kind of servant that has to bow to her every demand otherwise there will be consequences.

"What are you doing, sweetness?" Bryan asks softly, he still having no clue about what has just come over Ana to suddenly act in this manner, she almost seeming possessed right now.

"Make love to me, Bryan," she whispers against his lips while she momentarily lowers her head towards him, before pulling away and continuing to talk, "Make me forget, Bryan, please; make me forget who I am, make me forget about Mya Azarov, make me forget about Kai, please, and make me remember who I really am, my love, please. Bring back Anastasia Grekov, bring her back, please," she says in a pleading manner, "Please make love to me, Bryan, like only you know how to," and there is also no ignoring the hurt within her voice, even though her face does not resemble the hurt, but her eyes sure have a lost look within them right now, and Bryan honestly has no idea of what to make of it all this minute.

"Please," and it almost sounds like she is on the brink of tears, even though no tears are visible within her eyes yet, but who knows, maybe soon she might just start crying and Bryan does not want to see her in that state; it will just hurt him, and he has the power to stop her from getting in that state, and he will be damned if he denies her request.

Now Bryan is the one to start the kissing as he gently takes her head in between his two hands, and Mya wastes no time in getting familiar with Bryan's kisses, he doing the same with her.

She is not thinking and rather just acting on impulse, she allowing her body to take control and her mind to go completely blank while she feels Bryan's luscious lips move against her own, she already getting lost within the feel of her ex lover, and soon enough, a lot of memories start rushing through her mind, memories of how Bryan and her use to laugh together, use to spar and exercise together, their passionate times in between the sheets, their first kiss at the cabin, all these memories are coming back to her, and these are the things that she had forgotten, due to losing herself to the darkness that is The Chernyy Feniks.

Lips and tongues are moving against each other in a sensual manner, re-experiencing familiar but forgotten territory, and getting lost within this new and still familiar journey that these two are embarking on once more.

She wants to forget about everything, she wants to be the person she was before she got into the mob; she wants to be Anastasia Grekov once more, and not this Mya Azarov, this darkened version of herself that is as heartless as they come; she wants to feel the light within herself one more time, and Bryan is the path that leads to that lost light and to that lost woman, he is the light in the darkness.

Bryan won't deny the fact of how good it feels to have Ana with him here one more time, to have her here in his arms while he gets lost within her addictive kisses once more, and he is going to enjoy every little second of it. He gets to kiss his sweetness, and he will get to make love to her once more, something he has dreamt about so many times, thinking that it will never happen again, especially after finding out about her and Kai, but here she is, begging him to take her, to make love to her like only he knows how to, and he is not going to let this moment slip through his hands; he will have his sweetness one more time.

A few minutes of sensual kissing passes before Bryan is the one to deepen it, the burly man already sporting a very impressive erection, Mya noticing this and as the kissing becomes more heated, she slowly starts to grind her crotch against Bryan's erection, she getting familiar with it one more time, and she cannot wait to feel Bryan move within her again. She knows that she is technically cheating on Kai right now, but she is so lost that she does not care; all that matters to her right now is this moment between Bryan and her, and where they will end up in no time, naked and making passionate love to one another just like the good old days.

Bryan places his hands on Mya's hips and slowly starts to move his hands upwards and underneath her shirt, he remembering how it had always felt in touching and kissing this perfect skin of his Ana, and he is going to kiss her all over again as soon as he has her naked and on her back, a sight he can hardly wait to see. He won't deny the fact that he is very aroused, but not in a horn-dog manner but rather in a loving manner, he aroused to make love to his woman again, to take her over and over again and to make her his over and over again.

A huge part of him is actually very relieved to hear that she and Kai has not slept together yet, which means he still is the last man that has touched her, or at least he hopes so; who knows, she may have had a few flings before she and Kai happened, but either way, he still gets to have Ana before Kai gets to have her, something that fills his entire being with pride.

Bryan gently brushes the fingers of his right hand over the small of Mya's back, which immediately results in a moan to come from her while she slightly arches her upper body against Bryan's body and again memories of the two of them flashes through her mind. Her right hand moves into his hair where she grips them slightly all at the same time as Bryan starts to move his kisses down to her neck, her lips slightly parted by this erotic move, and if there is one thing that Bryan knows how to do, it is to kiss her until her toes curl over from pleasure, no matter where he kisses her or how he kisses her; she is glad to see that Bryan has not lost the magic within his lips and hands yet.

He is getting familiar with her sounds, with her moves, with how she smells and with how she acts whenever he pleases in her any manner that she approves of, and this is no different. His kisses are soft yet firm on the skin of her neck, and her hands are already a clear indication that he is doing something right, and it is also a sign that he has her permission to take the reins in this dance of love, and that she will allow him to control the pace and the direction of it all.

Bryan removes his hands from Ana's back and moves them down to her ass where he takes hold of them in a firm grip, and in one swift movement he manages to get up from the couch while holding Ana against him, and he quickly turns their position and after placing her gently down on to the couch, he stands on his knees and removes his shirt, the piece of material being discarded to the floor before he captures Ana's lips once more, this time in a more hunger filled manner.

Mya immediately wraps her legs around Bryan's body and again his erection is pressed against her crotch and with her legs, she starts to direct both of their bodies to start to move together, Bryan's erection moving against her crotch through the material, and it already feels so good to her and she cannot wait to feel him inside of her.

Bryan has both of his hands beside Ana's head as he keeps himself perched up over her while she digs her nails into the skin of his naked back, and now neither of the two former lovers can wait to finally start making love once more; it is long overdue.

She feels how the muscular muscles of his back flexes with each move, and again Bryan moves his passionate kisses down to her neck, and she can only arch her back at this while her lips are parted once more, her mind already clouded with lust; however, she also wants to be shirtless because she wants to feel Bryan's naked body against her own, she wants to feel the body heat of her former lover mix with her body heat, she wants to become one with him once more.

Bryan pulls on her right ear lobe and a gasp is heard coming from Ana as she again arches her body upwards by this move of Bryan. He wants to get her undressed so that he can have her entire body to kiss and explore once more with his hands; he is going to take his time in exploring her body all over again, like someone who is unwrapping a very expensive and delicate gift, so he will do it slowly, gently and with time; there is no rush, or at least he hopes not.

Bryan once more stops the kissing and sits up straight on his knees once more but this time he pulls Ana up with him where he takes it upon himself to remove her shirt for her, she only giggling by this move but she allows him to undress her anyway, and when her shirt has also been discarded, she again lies down on her back where the passionate and intense kissing commences, both Bryan and Ana relishing in the feel of having their naked upper bodies pressed up against each other once more.

Now Mya can fully take in Bryan's body heat, and her body once again starts to move against his own, and this time Bryan deepens the move of his pelvic area and he starts to grind even harder against her crotch area, and an unexpected groan is heard coming from Bryan which is music to Mya's ears, she moving her body in sync with Bryan's body while her nails starts to dig even deeper into Bryan's naked back, and she can already imagine Bryan thrusting in and out of her while the two of them are in this specific position.

Without the two realising it, their couple tattoos align perfectly while being in this position, the kissing becoming even more heated now while the temperature starts to heat up between the two former lovers.

"I want you so much right now," Bryan says in almost growling manner against Ana's lips before resuming the kissing, he not even giving her a chance to say anything back.

She feels the same right now, and she has been feeling like this for quite some time now; she wants Bryan as deep as possible within her, she wants to become one with him one more time, she wants to be his Ana one more time, and she will not leave here until that has happened, that is, if she even leaves here because the way she is feeling right now, she may just greet the mob life, greet Kai and convince Bryan to run away with her to another country where they can start the life that they had planned before she fell in love with the mob and with Kai, but she will see how things go.

Again, Bryan breaks away from the kissing and he moves down to her collar bone, but he does not stay here for long before he goes down to her chest, moving to right in between her chest where he starts to kiss her skin in a sensual manner, Mya feeling how her entire body and skin tingles wherever his lips touches her skin, and all that she can do is to pull on Bryan's hair while he slowly starts to descend with his kisses, he going lower and lower, over her stomach where he gently tugs on her belly ring before he again goes lower, right up to the hem of her jeans, and while kissing her all along the hem of her jeans, Bryan slowly undoes her button and zipper, and now Mya really feels like going crazy because they are getting closer to making love, her body already aching for all of Bryan.

However, she knows that Bryan is not going to rush this; if he is still the man that she has learned to know and love, then he will take his time in getting to the end goal; the only time when Bryan rushed to the end part without foreplay or any type of teasing was when he was in the mood for a real quickie, or whenever they were in a public place and there was no time for a lengthy boning session.

The zipper is undone and Bryan proceeds to lean back and sit on the ball of his heels while he looks down at his Ana, and while looking at her and smirking, he getting a smirk back, he starts to remove her jeans, but he does it painstakingly slow, he knowing that Ana use to hate it sometimes, but fortunately she just keeps on smirking at him while she lifts her ass so that he can remove the jean, he pulling the jeans lower and lower while doing it as slow as he possibly can.

"I see that you still love to drive me crazy with your teasing, my love."

"You know it, sweetness."

Down her thighs, over her knees, and down her calves, and finally over her feet, the jeans also being discarded to where the shirts are, and Bryan can just look down at Ana's body, she still as toned as the day she had left him for the mob world.

Mya sees how Bryan looks at her body, the hunger clearly visible within his eyes, and so she too looks at his body, more memories flashing through her mind about how that muscular body had helped her, trained her, carried her, made love to her, and most important of all, loved her.

Bryan leans forward and places his hands on either side of Ana's head once more so that he can balance himself on his arms, he looking deep into her beautiful and unique eyes, and he feels how she starts to stroke his upper arms, her nails dragging over his skin in a pleasurable manner and finally it feels like it has always in the past: like it is just the two of them in the entire existence of the universe, and that they are the only two people who really matter in this existence, and no one else.

He has his Ana back with him; she has come back to him and the love that has always radiated from her eyes is radiating once more, and there is no doubt that she still loves him very much, just as he still loves her.

Her heartbeat picks up as Bryan gets closer and closer towards her face, her entire body waiting in anticipation for him to kiss her once more; however, she is rather disappointed when Bryan does not kiss her mouth but instead the side of her mouth, he once more moving lower with his lips, he following the same route that he did before, and while he laces her skin with his sensual kisses, his hands start to explore her skin, he taking in every inch and getting familiar with it. However, just as his right hand moves over her couple's tattoo, he feels something that was not there before, nor that he noticed before, and he at once stops with his kissing and sits up straight once more while he looks at the bump, he unable to believe what he is currently looking at.

Mya is immediately brought out of her trance when she felt Bryan abruptly stop his kissing and sitting up straight, and now she knows why; he looks at the gun wound and then at her, his eyes narrowed and his face hardened, and all that she can really do is to smile sheepishly at him.

"What the hell is this, Ana?" he asks, and just the fact that he is using her name is already a clear indication of his displeasure regarding the scar, he keeping his right thumb on it while he looks down at Ana with an almost scowl on his face.

"It's a gun wound, my love," Mya says in a soft tone of voice as an attempt to calm Bryan; she knows how overprotective he can get over her, and the fact that 'his sweetness' has been shot by someone, she can only imagine what must be going through his mind right now.

"How did this happen?"

"We were ambushed, but it is okay, my love, honestly. It was not even that bad and I did not even have to go into hospital."

"Who did it?"

"I don't know, but he is long gone, my love; Kai took care of him; in fact, that was the night that my plan regarding killing Kai changed because he was the one who took care of me, who made sure that I was taken care of; he even called his personal doctor to attend to me that night and he stayed by my side the entire time while we were at his safe house."

Bryan raises an eyebrow at this, "Safe house? You were at Kai's safe house?" the burly man asks and he is unable to hide the surprise within his voice.

"Err...yeah, do you know where it is?"

Bryan shakes his head from side to side, "No; I just knew that he had one somewhere but he never said where; so, Kai took care of you after you got shot?"

"Yeah, he was there when it happened; he managed to pull me out of the way, but unfortunately he was not as fast as a firing bullet, but I got off lucky, my love, and honestly, it was still early days, well, not early, early as in I just started, but it was early days here in Moscow because I was in Kiev for 6 months. It was apparently that Boris guy's doing, the ambush, but it all turned out fine."

Bryan sighs at this, "I just don't like hearing that you got shot, sweetness; it just makes my blood boil."

Mya lifts her upper body and rests on her elbows while looking at Bryan, and with her right hand she reaches up and caresses Bryan's left cheek while smiling lovingly up at him, "Hey, I am fine, my love; like I said you trained me well, so you really do not have to worry, and besides, I am such a bad ass now a day that I can literally kick anyone's ass, so relax, okay?"

Bryan says nothing and only nods while he also places his hand on top of Ana's hand while she continues to caress his cheek, she still smiling up at him while they look deep into each other's eyes.

"Now, if my memory serves me correct, my love, you were busy kissing me and getting me all horny for our love making," and just like that, Bryan smirks at her and leans down to capture her lips once more which again develops into a seething and passionate kiss.

It does not take long for Bryan to once more move down to Mya's body, he kissing her stomach in a sexy manner, and while he kisses and licks all over her stomach, his hands move up to her breasts, he moving her bra over her breasts so that he can feel her naked lady mounds in his hands once more, Mya moaning out loudly to this while she arches her body against Bryan's hands.

While he massages her breasts, his kisses start to move even lower, down to right above her lady bits, Bryan anxious to go down on her and to taste her exotic taste once more.


A little Bryan/Ana for those who still prefer this pairing, and I hope that you enjoyed the little reunion between these two former lovers. We now get to see a little more to Ana and what she is capable of, things like cheating, and her 'Mya' character will develop more and more and I am already certain that not many will be a fan of this Mya.

As always, I would like to hear your thoughts on this chapter.

The next update should be up on the 31st if all goes well; anyway, take care you guys and many blessings to you all ;-D
