Chapter 10 Six months later. I step onto the neat stone pathway of my uncle and aunt's sprawling house. As always, their home screams power and privilege in every polished corner. But today it doesn't overwhelm me. The air smells faintly of cut grass and expensive cologne, a scent I associate with my uncle's world. One of business deals and political maneuvering I'm invariably dragged into. But today, I'm not playing at someone else's whim. Today, I rule the game. The front door opens before I even reach it, and there's my uncle, Senator Gahr, standing tall in a perfectly tailored suit. But even that expensive garment can't hide his expanding waistline. His eyes narrow slightly when they land on me, as if surprised I dared to show up unannounced. "Perl," he says, voice the gravelly baritone I've heard a thousand times. "What brings you here?" Taking a deep breath, I step inside. "I want to talk about your political future," I say firmly, locking eyes with him. "About the issues you're going to represent in the Senate." He raises a brow, stepping aside but clearly reluctant. "You trying to do my job now?" He chuckles condescendingly. "No," I say, steadying myself, "but I'm the reason Rik's support matters. If you don't represent the things that protect his interests, you lose his money. And your connections in the tech world vanish with it." His mouth tightens. "Money's money, Perl. Politics isn't a charity." "I get that," I say. "But it's not just money. It's contacts, influence, the backbone of what you claim to stand for. If you ignore what matters to Rik and me, you're ignoring the foundation of your support." He pauses, and I catch the flicker of realization in his eyes, that my words aren't just a challenge, they're a warning. "Fine," he says finally, voice low. "Tell me what you want me to to do." I meet his gaze, triumph rising inside me as both of us realize the power I hold over him. I list the items Rik and I discussed. We've mapped out a plan to expand our territory across the state. And every step of the way, Rik asked for my opinions and valued my input. My aunt enters the room. "What's this, Perl. You show up uninvited, with demands? You should have more respect for your uncle. After all he's a senator." I stand. "I don't need an invitation when he owes everything to me." She splutters. "Get out of my house," she yells. "You're not welcome until you learn your place. You're nothing without us." My uncle holds up a hand, sweat beading on his forehead. "Monica, calm down." I take a step toward my aunt, towering over her in my heels. "No, Aunt. You're nothing without me. And never forget it." I pick up my purse and toss my hair over my shoulder. "Explain it to her, Uncle," I say as I walk down the hallway and out the door. Later that day, the soft glow of late-afternoon sunlight casts a warm hue in our bedroom. I stand in front of the full-length mirror, my heart pounding with excitement. My reflection reveals black lace lingerie hugging my curves, the sheer fabric showing glimpses of my dusky nipples and the curls between my thighs. My breasts, full and heavy, strain against the confines of the bra, and I can't help but feel a surge of feminine power. I turn to the side, admiring the way the lingerie accentuates the swell of my hips and the roundness of my ass. It's not every day I feel this bold, this beautiful, but today, I'm embracing the sensuality that Rik has helped me discover within myself. I'm ready to take the lead, to show him just how much I've learned. The sound of Rik's footsteps sends a thrill through me. I take a deep breath, steadying myself. As he opens the door, Rik's eyes find me instantly, his piercing green gaze raking over my body with an intensity that makes my pussy clench in anticipation. His dark hair is tousled, his broad shoulders straining against the fabric of his shirt, and I can see the outline of his tattoos peeking out from his collar. The sight of him, so ruggedly handsome, so effortlessly dominant, makes my knees weak. 'Fuck, Perl,' he breathes, his voice a low growl that resonates through me. 'You look... incredible.' I saunter towards him, my confidence growing with each step. 'I want to play a new game,' I purr, reaching up to trace a finger along the stubble of his jaw. 'Do you trust me?' A slow, wicked smile spreads across his face. 'Absolutely,' he replies, his eyes darkening with lust. I lead him to the bed and push him down onto the mattress. 'Then lie back and enjoy the ride.' Rik's eyes never leave me as I straddle him, my hands exploring the firm planes of his chest. I can feel his cock, hard and insistent against my ass, and I revel in knowing that I'm the one in control, the one driving him wild with desire. Leaning forward, I capture his lips in a searing kiss, our tongues dueling for control. His hands come up to cup my face, but I push them away, reaching into the bedside drawer for the silk scarves I've stashed there. With deft fingers, I tie his wrists to the bedposts. Rik tests the bonds, a thrill of excitement flickering in his eyes. 'You're playing with fire, Perl,' he warns, his voice husky with need. I grin down at him. 'Then let's see how much heat I can stand.' I trail kisses down his body, savoring the salty taste of his skin, the ragged sound of his breath as I tease him mercilessly. When I reach the waistband of his pants, I make quick work of the button and zipper, freeing his thick cock. It stands proudly, a testament to his desire, and I can't help but lick my lips at the sight of it. Wrapping my hand around the base, I stroke him slowly, watching as a bead of precum forms at the tip. I lean down, swirling my tongue around the head, eliciting a groan from Rik that vibrates through his entire body. Encouraged by his response, I take him into my mouth, sucking deeply as I work my way down his shaft. Rik's hips buck, pushing himself further into my mouth, and I hum in approval, the vibrations making him curse under his breath. 'Fuck, Perl, your mouth... it's heaven.' I bob my head, increasing the pace, my hand twisting and pumping in time with my mouth. Rik's moans grow louder, his body tense with the effort of holding back. I can feel the power dynamic shifting, the heady rush of control flooding my senses. But I'm not done with him yet. I release his cock with a wet pop, earning a growl of protest from Rik. 'Patience,' I chide, standing up to shimmy out of my lingerie. His eyes widen as I reveal myself to him, my pussy glistening with arousal. Climbing back onto the bed, I position myself over his straining cock, my hands braced against his chest. I sink down onto him slowly, inch by inch, until he's fully sheathed within me. The feeling of fullness is exquisite, and I take a moment to adjust, to relish the sensation of being so intimately connected. When I finally move, I ride him with abandon, my hips rocking back and forth, each thrust driving him deeper inside me. My breasts bounce with the motion, and I can't resist the urge to touch them, to pinch and roll my nipples between my fingers. Rik watches me through hooded eyes, his breathing ragged, his body straining against the scarves. 'You're so fucking beautiful,' he murmurs, his voice filled with awe and desire. 'I'm so close, Perl. I'm going to come so hard inside you, I'll breed you. Fucking plant a baby in your womb.' His words send a jolt of electricity straight to my cunt, and I feel my own orgasm building, a slow, delicious burn. I grind against him, chasing the release that I know is just within reach. 'Come with me, Malyshka,' Rik grunts, and with a final, powerful thrust, we fall over the edge together. My pussy clenches around his cock, milking him as he fills me with his hot, thick cum. I cry out, my body shuddering with the force of my climax. We lie there, entwined and gasping for breath, our hearts beating in unison. I untie Rik's wrists, and he immediately pulls me into his arms, holding me close as our bodies cool. 'You're fucking incredible,' he murmurs into my hair, placing a gentle kiss on my forehead. 'You're not so bad yourself.' I smile, snuggling closer to his warmth as a sense of contentment washes over me. As we drift off to sleep, tangled in the sheets and each other, I can't help but think that this is just the beginning of our adventures. Soon, Bratva Kedrov will rule this city with Rik at its helm. And I'll be right by his side, in my own seat of power. After years of devotedly caring for her family, she was met with relentless ingratitude from her husband and son—who even brazenly vowed to form a "real family" with a glamorous actress.
