My Russian Billionaire Boss 🔐| Part 21: The Messages I Keep Sending (Patreon)

All characters depicted in this story are fictional and 18 years of age or older. Everything portrayed is safe, sane, and consensual.

I woke up before the sun and slipped out of bed while Viktor was still sleeping. The sheets still carried his scent. I stood at the window for a moment and watched the city wake up far below. My chest felt tight with everything I had not said out loud yet. I had spent the last twelve days sending messages to Alexei Orlov. Every single one of them went unanswered. I kept going anyway.

On the first day I wrote carefully. Professional. Safe.

“Hello Alexei. This is Kai Lennox. Viktor’s assistant. Viktor is in trouble and he needs your help. Please reply if you see this.”

No answer.

On the third day I attached a photo I had taken of Viktor at his desk. He looked powerful even when exhausted. His tie was loosened and his sleeves were rolled up. The city lights behind him made him look like he still ruled the world. I added a short caption.

“He is carrying everything alone right now. The board is turning against him because of old St Petersburg records. I am trying to protect him but I cannot do it without you.”

Still nothing.

By day six, the messages grew more desperate. I told him about Ryan Hale. I told him about the smirks and the quiet threats in the hallways. I told him Viktor was pretending to be fine but I saw how much it was breaking him inside. I ended that one with a line that made my hands shake when I typed it.

“If you ever cared about him, please answer. He is going to lose everything.”

The silence stretched. I kept sending anyway.

On day nine I crossed a line I had been afraid to cross. I wrote the truth I had been carrying alone.

“I know both of you were in love once. I know what you meant to each other. If you still feel anything for him please help. He is going to lose everything he built and I cannot watch it happen.”

Still no reply.

On day eleven I stopped pretending I was only doing this for Viktor’s empire. I wrote the words that had been sitting heavy in my chest for weeks.

“If you ever loved him, please help him. He needs you Alexei. Please. I love him so much. I cannot see him like this anymore.”

I stared at the screen after I sent it. My hands were shaking. I had just told a stranger the deepest truth I had. I had told him I loved Viktor. I had handed Alexei the power to take Viktor away from me if he wanted. But I could not stop. I could not watch Viktor lose everything while I stood by and did nothing.

The office had become a battlefield of quiet threats. Ryan Hale appeared everywhere. He would stop by my desk while I was working and speak just loud enough for the people around us to hear.

“You might need a new job soon, Kai. With Viktor removed, there will be no place for you here.”

The first time he said it I felt heat rise in my chest. I looked up at him slowly. My voice came out steady even though my hands wanted to shake.

“If you have something to say to me Ryan say it clearly. I don’t have time for games.”

He smiled that same smirk he always wore. The one that made me want to wipe it off his face.

“I am just being helpful. When the board meeting happens tomorrow, everything changes. I would hate to see you caught in the crossfire. Maybe it’s time you start looking for a new job.”

I stood up. I was not as tall as him but I stepped close enough that he had to look down at me. My voice dropped.

“Viktor built this company. You and Irina have been circling like vultures since the day she left. Don’t pretend this is about business. It is about revenge. And I will not let you take him down without a fight.”

Ryan’s smirk faltered for half a second. Then it returned. He leaned in slightly.

“Careful Kai. You are getting bold. That could be dangerous for someone in your position.”

I didn’t back down. I held his gaze until he finally turned and walked away. My heart was pounding but I felt something fierce and protective settle in my chest. I was not just Viktor’s assistant anymore. I was the one standing between him and the people trying to destroy him.

________

That same evening Viktor took a call from Irina in the penthouse. He put it on speaker without thinking. I stood near the window listening while he paced.

“Why the fuck are you doing this to me Irina? What have I done to you?” “During our marriage I gave you everything you asked for. I let you walk away with half of what we built. Is this really about revenge or is it just because you cannot stand seeing me happy with someone else?”

Irina’s voice came through cold and calm. She didn’t answer his question directly. She only said the board meeting was scheduled for tomorrow and that he should prepare himself. Viktor ended the call without another word. He stood there staring at the phone in his hand like it had personally betrayed him.

I walked over and touched his arm. He did not pull away. Instead he turned and pulled me against his chest. His arms wrapped around me so tightly I could barely breathe. I felt his heart hammering against my own.

“I am scared Kai,” he said quietly. His voice was rough in a way I had never heard before. “I have never been scared like this before.”

I pulled back just enough to look at his face. His eyes were tired. The man who had once made me beg for his cock so fucking badly in that Seattle hotel room, the man who had pinned me down and fucked me until I could not remember my own name, was the same man who now looked at me like he was afraid the ground was disappearing beneath his feet.

The contrast hit me hard. The dominant, untouchable Viktor Volkov who had taken what he wanted without asking was gone. In his place was someone raw and uncertain, someone who needed me as much as I needed him. And that version of him made my chest ache in a way nothing else ever had.

“I am here,Viktor,” I said. “I am right here. Please don’t give up. I am with you.”

He kissed me then. It started slow but the moment our mouths met something inside him broke open. His hands slid down to my ass and gripped hard, pulling me against him. I felt his cock thicken against my own through our pants. The friction sent heat flooding through me. He ground against me slowly, deliberately, his mouth moving over mine like he was trying to memorize the taste of me. One hand stayed on my ass while the other moved up to the back of my neck, holding me in place. I moaned into his mouth and rolled my hips to meet his. The feeling of his cock grinding against mine through the fabric was almost too much. I could feel how hard he was. How much he needed this. Needed me.

He walked me backward until my back hit the wall. His mouth left mine and moved to my neck, biting and sucking just hard enough to leave marks. His hand on my ass tightened and he pulled me harder against him, rolling his hips in a slow filthy rhythm that made my knees weak. I gripped his shoulders and held on. Every movement of his body against mine said what he could not say out loud yet. I need you. I am terrified of losing you. Stay with me.

When he finally pulled back, his breathing was ragged. His forehead rested against mine. His voice was low and rough.

“I don’t know what I would do if I lost you too.”

The admission was quiet. Honest. He had never said anything like that before. The old Viktor would have fucked me and walked away like nothing mattered. Now he was holding me like I was the only thing keeping him standing.

“I am not going anywhere,” I whispered. “I promise.”“Whatever happens, I’ll be with you.”

He kissed me again, slower this time. His hands moved over my body with a gentleness that made my chest ache. We stayed like that for a long time, pressed together against the wall, breathing each other in. The heat between us was still there but it had shifted into something deeper. Something that felt like forever.

Later that night, after we had showered and changed, Viktor sat on the edge of the bed staring at the floor. I knelt in front of him and placed my hands on his knees. He looked down at me and I saw the exhaustion in his eyes.

“Irina and Ryan are finally getting what they always wanted,” he said. “The board meeting is tomorrow. They are going to vote me out officially. Irina gets to watch me lose everything I built.”

I kept my voice steady even though my heart was racing. “Everything will be okay Viktor. I promise. Please don’t worry. We will find a way through this.”

He reached down and touched my face. His thumb brushed my cheek.

“I don’t know Kai. I am scared. If I didn’t have you right now, I would have already given up. I would have let them take it all and walked away.”

The words settled between us like a confession. He had admitted the one thing he had never said out loud. Without me he would have broken. I leaned in and kissed him again. This time it was slow and deep and full of everything I could not say yet either. When we pulled apart I rested my forehead against his.

“I am with you Viktor. I am here. Right here. I am not going anywhere. We will get through this together.”

He pulled me up onto his lap and wrapped his arms around me. I rested my head on his shoulder and listened to his heartbeat. The fear in my chest felt a little smaller. I had told Alexei everything. I had told Viktor I was not leaving. I had shown him with my body and my words that he was not alone.

Whatever came next I was ready.

I had already decided.

I would burn the world down before I let anyone take him from me.

______That night I sent one final message to Alexei before I climbed into bed beside the man I loved.

Alexei,

I understand that you may not care about Viktor anymore. He walked away from everything you shared to build something he loved with his whole heart. But he loved you too. I have seen the old photos and the emails. I have seen how he looked at you in those late nights in the server room when the rest of the world had gone home. You were building Volkov and Orlov Technologies together. You were making plans while your bodies were still tangled and your skin was still warm. Those nights meant something to him. They meant something to both of you.

The loss of his company will break him, Alexei. Please don’t let that happen.

If you ever loved him or cared about him even a little, please do it for that. For me. For us. I love him more than anything in the world and I would do anything to keep him from falling apart. Please Alexei, I am begging you to reply and help me. You are the only one who can help him now. He needs you. I need you to help him. Please.

I set the phone down and turned off the light. Viktor stirred in his sleep and reached for me. I moved closer and let him pull me against his chest. His arm wrapped around my waist and his breathing evened out again.

I lay there staring at the ceiling in the dark. A single tear slipped from the corner of my eye and ran down my cheek. I could not stand the thought of the man I had started loving being broken like this. If Alexei did not help us, Viktor would lose everything he had spent his life building. The empire, the power, the name he had fought so hard to make untouchable. But I would still be right by his side whatever happened. I would hold him through every fall. I would stay even if the board took the company, even if the world turned its back on him.

The man who had once blackmailed me into this job, the dominant, controlled, untouchable Viktor Volkov, had slowly become the center of my entire world. I had fallen so deeply in love with him that I no longer cared about the blackmail or the power or the danger. I only cared about protecting him.

I closed my eyes and pressed my face against his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart.

Whatever came next, I would be here.

I would fight for him.

I would love him.

And I would never let him face it alone.
