on his face while he made her scream. Every time she tried to lift away, he tugged her back down, using his superior strength to force through the waves of her orgasm. She let go of the headboard, placing her hands on either side of his head, and whipped her hips back and forth on his mouth, going wild as a second and more intense climax overwhelmed her. He smacked her ass—hard—his palm bouncing from plump cheek to plump cheek. She cried out with a mix of joy and pain and then screamed his name.
Smiling against her inner thigh, he let her go, and she dramatically dropped off of him, landing in a heap as she panted to catch her breath. He didn’t even get a chance to try to make another move before she surprised him by aggressively shoving him back onto the bed. She flipped back her hair and planted both hands on his chest before throwing her leg over his hips and straddling him. She reached down between them, gripping his aching cock in her soft hand, and stroked the length of him, squeezing as she reached the tip. He groaned and tried to shift her into position, but she wouldn’t let him.
Instead, she began peppering kisses along his face and chest while stroking him slowly, just enough to keep him on edge. When she started to lick her way down his belly, he shuddered and clenched the sheets in both fists. She took her time, sliding lower and lower until her mouth hovered over his cock. With a wicked smile, she said, “My turn.”
The second her lips wrapped around the head of his cock, he growled, “Fuck me.”
She stopped sucking just long enough to promise, “That’s the plan.”
He threaded his fingers through her hair and lifted his head to watch as she drove him crazy with her tongue. She did follow through with her plan, eventually, but it was a long and very torturous time later.
Chapter Eleven
“This place is outrageous,” Ruby hissed as we toured the showroom floor of Alexei’s flagship dealership the next morning. “Six figures for a car?”
“I know,” I agreed, wincing at the sticker price on the sporty coupe in front of us. “It’s a bit much.”
“A bit?” she repeated sarcastically.
“Okay, a lot.” My gaze drifted away from the showroom vehicles to the ones parked in neat rows outside. There were some late model midsize SUVs that caught my eye. Their prices seemed more palatable.
“Erin!” Alexei greeted as he drew near. “It’s good to see you.”
Smiling, I shook his head. “Good morning, Alexei.”
“You know you outbid me on that basketball I wanted,” he said. “I hope Vanya enjoys it.”
“I’m sure he will. Speaking of bidding, how badly did Lena corrupt Shay?”
He laughed. “Not even enough to make me blink.”
Noticing his glance toward Ruby, I introduced them. “Alexei, this is my sister, Ruby. Ruby, this is Alexei Sarnov. He’s one of Ivan’s oldest friends.”
“Nice to meet you,” he said, shaking her hand.
“Yeah,” Ruby replied, her gaze lingering on his faded hand tattoos. “One of those friends, I see.”
To his credit, Alexei took her remark in stride. “We’ve all made mistakes in our past.”
“We sure do,” she said, seemingly amused by his little dig.
“I see you two are looking at our latest models.” He slipped right into car salesman mode. “Are you wanting to move up in vehicle? Vanya said you were in a smaller sedan. Are you thinking staying in a similar class or would you like something with more room? A mid-size SUV maybe?”
“I want more space. I’m moving into a new phase of life, and I want to be ready for car seats and strollers.” I felt a flutter of excitement at the idea of speaking my greatest desire into existence.
Alexei grinned. “You and Vanya will make a beautiful family together.” He glanced around the showroom. “What about one of those?”
“It’s nice,” I said uncertainly. “Maybe slightly too expensive?”
“It might be,” he agreed, “but I think you should get behind the wheel. A price is just a number until you get a feel for the way it drives.”
Behind him, Ruby rolled her eyes, and I started to question my decision to bring her along on this trip. She schooled her face as Alexei turned toward her and said, “Why don’t I grab some keys and you two can take it for a drive?”
“Sure. Sounds good,” I answered, hoping he hadn’t noticed Ruby’s eyeroll.
“That Q8 is, like, ninety grand,” Ruby whispered harshly when
