Yet, as he lay dying, about to meet with the Lord for the final time, he had become … emotional. His father had declared that he loved him, that he was proud of him. That he was a father who was grateful to have been given such a strong, loyal, and competent son.
Dmitry had been shocked by the revelation, but he had been humbled by it as well. All the years of anger had evaporated.
His father’s parting advice was for him was to find a wife or a friend. Someone he could trust. It turned out his parents’ marriage, although arranged, had turned into a love match, much to the surprise of everyone else around them. Dmitry didn’t believe in love.
“I want you to find George and bring him back to me alive,” Dmitry said. “Also, keep an eye on Angeloff. He lied to you, which means he’s up to something.”
Benjamin nodded. “There are several rumors, sir,” Benjamin said.
“There are always rumors.”
“It’s about George’s wife.”
He rolled his eyes.
“Leave,” Dmitry said.
Benjamin didn’t say anything more, got to his feet, and left.
Dmitry waited a few seconds and got to his feet, once again turning to the backyard. Sofia and Alix were both on the ground, holding hands as they looked up at the sky. Sofia let her go and pointed up at the sky. She must have said something as even he saw their laughter.
He should have killed George when he had the chance. The fact his shop had been closed and he’d not been made aware of it, pissed him off.
Alix was a distraction he needed to get control of. He thought about her sweet cunt last night wrapped around his cock. One time should have been enough but it wasn’t. Staring at her now, he would gladly have her over his desk, her legs spread wide to take him. That was what he wanted. His cock began to thicken. Need filled his body.
Stepping away from the window, he left his office, and made his way outside. His men were on guard and he nodded at them to leave. He walked onto the ground and approached the two giggling girls. Well, one girl, the other was very much a woman.
“I want to travel on clouds,” Sofia said.
“Do you think they would help us to fly?”
“Yes. We’d be able to go to space and see if there are aliens.”
“You and aliens again,” Alix said. “Do you think that’s where we’ll find the monster shark as well?”
“Yep, and he will nibble your toes,” Sofia said. “Daddy!”
Sofia pulled away from Alix, who sat up at the mention of his name. His daughter got to her feet and ran toward him, throwing her arms around him. He put a hand on her back, staring at Alix, who looked right back at him. She must have one amazing poker face, because he didn’t have a clue what she was thinking.
Dmitry knew he’d been a dick to her last night. The truth was, he didn’t know how to act with a woman after the fucking had been done.
“Daddy, we’re looking up at the sky and trying to bring the clouds down to us.”
“I don’t think I’d be able to ride a cloud,” he said.
“Yes, you can. You can fly with us.” Sofia tried to pull him to the ground. His men were watching and he wasn’t going to appease his daughter.
Alix quickly swooped in, picking Sofia up in her arms, and pretending to fly with her.
“Try and catch a cloud, Sofia. Grab a big one so we can ride to the planets and find your alien and shark.”

Alix sat on the edge of the bed, reading the same sentence over and over again. Dmitry owned a large library, and seeing as she had complete freedom inside the house, she had gone to his collection to choose from several books. She had read three books so far, this was her fourth, but she was finding it hard to get into. It didn’t help that her thoughts kept going to Dmitry.
After he had come out to the gardens that afternoon, and the awkward way he’d been with Sofia, he had disappeared again. Alix had known he couldn’t just lie on the ground with his little girl and play. Men watched him. She noticed that.
Dmitry’s position of power put him in a constantly awkward position which stopped him from having some fun with his daughter. After the way he left her the night before, she could have allowed him to be cruel to his daughter. Alix couldn’t do it. She didn’t want to put him in that position so she had taken hold of Sofia and allowed her to fly the best way she could. Now, she had to wonder what Dmitry was doing.
The sex last night had been awesome and if that was all he wanted, then fine. She had to know how long her time was here. She needed a deadline, to start making plans.
