His teeth graze my clit.
I see stars.
I stare down at the powerful man before me. The king on his knees before me. The black knight. There is a pull between us that neither of us can deny. A red string of fate connecting us together.
“Adrian,” I moan, my head falling back against the tiled walls. “Please…”
He doesn’t slow down. Even when my body begins to shake and I’m begging him with incoherent words, he doesn’t stop. I ride his face, uncaring if he suffocates to death.
I’ll do anything to find the pleasure in my release at the end of the rainbow.
“Come for me, little lioness,” he groans. “Let go.”
For the first time, I do as he orders without complaint.
I scream his name, my body shaking, and falling limp against the shower. Adrian catches me and holds me tight to his body as he washes me down one last time. When he’s done, he shuts the shower off and reaches for a towel. Soon, I’m dried and bundled in his arms as he walks me to the bed.
He settles me in bed, covering my naked body with the thick, down cover. My heart is still racing as he joins me in bed and shuts off the light.
“Can I ask you a question,” I yawn, my eyes drooping dangerously.
Like the night before, he cuddles me close to his chest, but there is something more possessive in his hold tonight.
“I suppose,” he drawls.
Another yawn. “What is your name in Russian?” I ask. “I feel like Adrian is such a normal name. You call that burly man, Sasha, but his name is Alexander. And I’ve heard you call Anton, Antosha. So, what is Adrian?”
Adrian chuckles. “Always so full of questions.”
“Don’t pretend like you don’t like it,” I murmur sleepily.
“I do,” he admits. I hum as I snuggle closer to his chest, the feel of his hand running along my bare arm quickly luring me to sleep. I’m so worn down that I nearly miss his answer to my question.
“Adrik,” he whispers. “They call me Adrik.”
Twenty-Six
Istare at the security footage from my mother’s block where Vanya had run off. It’s two in the morning, but it doesn’t matter. I can’t sleep until I figure out what the hell happened. Who had she run after? Sasha said she’d been gazing out the window while Anton had taken my mother and sister up to their condo and then suddenly leaped out as if her life depended on it.
Why?
Who had she seen?
“Found it,” Anton sets his laptop on my desk in front of me and presses play. “She exits the car just as this man and his daughter walk past.” He pauses the video on a man not much younger than me. A small girl is toddling after him, her small hand in his as they walk down the street. Taking a screenshot, he hits print.
“Then what?” I ask. He presses play again.
“She follows them into the children’s store,” he narrates. “We lose sight of her from that angle, but—” He pulls up another window. “This is from a camera in the store. Her back is to it, so we can’t see what she is saying, but whatever it is, the man looks spooked.”
I watch the scene unfold before me. The man appears cautious of her approach. His eyes are scanning everything around him as if he is waiting for something or someone to jump out at him. Then, she holds out her arm to him. His eyes dart down to his little girl and back to my woman. Now he looks scared.
What did she show him that has him looking so on edge?
I’ve mapped Vanya’s entire body and the only thing on that arm is a small birthmark near her wrist. Is that what she is showing him? Is it somehow important?
“Find me everything you can on him.” I nod my head at the screen. “I want everything. Bank records, blood type, you fucking name it.” Anton nods and grabs his laptop to get to work just as my phone rings.
“Da?”I answer in Russian knowing it’s Matthias.
