Juli struggled to get her brain to function enough to respond. Daniil had her pressed up against the rear door of his sleek, black town car and had just given her another of his soul-stealing kisses. She both loved and hated those kisses. They stole her ability to think and melted her insides until she forgot why she didn’t want a man in her life.
She shook her head in an attempt to clear it as he moved to nibble along her jaw, up to her ear.
“You have nothing to fear with me, Julietta.” He moved one of his thighs between hers, rubbing against her aching centre, which made her groan. “Follow your body, krasivaya. Let me take care of you. Give you what you need.”
Should she give in? She knew precisely how well he’d take care of her sexually, although she’d probably struggle to teach her surfing lessons tomorrow if she did. That thought was fortunately enough to cool her body sufficiently so she could form words.
“I can’t. I have to work in the morning, and if I go home with you, I’ll get no sleep and be barely able to walk by morning, let alone able to teach other people how to stand on a surfboard.”
He growled low, the deep sound vibrating through her entire being. She loved that sound almost as much as his kisses. It would be so easy to lean on this man, to cede control and allow him to take care of her. Images of her mother flashed through her mind, of how she was always on the hunt for someone who could take care of her, give her everything she thought she needed or wanted. Of how she put more effort into making sure she looked perfect for those men than she did into parenting or caring for her only daughter.
“You will be back in my bed where you belong soon, solnyshka moto. But for tonight, I’ll let you go rest. We will talk tomorrow.”
With that, he stepped back, took her hand in his and walked her to her door. He was full of contradictions, one minute doing everything he could to seduce her out of her knickers, and the next, he was this perfect gentleman who walked her to her door before kissing her goodnight.
With her thoughts in turmoil, she closed the door and leaned back against it once she was inside. What the bloody hell was she meant to do with this man?
“You okay, Juli? Have to be honest, I wasn’t actually expecting you back tonight.”
She banged her head back against the door twice before she turned to face Jess.
“I’m so fucked.”
Jess smirked at her. “Well, that was why I figured you wouldn’t be back until the morning … I’m guessing the issue is really the fact that you’re currently not getting fucked, yeah?”
That had her barking out a laugh before she moved to drop down onto the couch beside her friend.
“Something like that. Daniil has me in knots. I don’t know what to do with him. I swore after all that shit with Rodger, I’d steer clear of men.” And because of her mother, but she didn’t want to get into that with Jess. “Especially older, powerful, strong ones like Daniil.”
Jess sighed. “But he is sex on a stick, babe. Not sure I could say no to that if he came calling for me. If you don’t want to even try to see if it works long-term with him, why don’t you just fuck him out of your system? Enjoy the moment, babe. Because I bet that man rocks in bed.”
Juli nodded before rising up off the couch. “That he does. Rocks in the shower, too.” She gave Jess a smirk and wink. “I’m going to bed. Gotta work in the morning. Night.”
Jess mumbled something under her breath, but Juli didn’t hear it as she wandered back toward the bathroom where she quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth before she headed for her room and locked herself in. Share houses sucked. She trusted Jess, of course, but the two backpackers, not so much. It didn’t help they seemed to switch out every few weeks so she never really got to know them.
Tossing her bag in the corner, she put her phone on her bedside table before pulling off her dress and dumping it in her laundry bin. Her bra followed, and then she slipped into bed and stared at the ceiling, unable to sleep. Thoughts of Daniil kept her mind too busy to relax.
When her phone beeped with a message, she grabbed it from the table to see who was messaging her.
Changed my mind. Need u here. Coming 2 get u.
Growling, she rolled her eyes. He was so fucking demanding! Although, it was nice to know she wasn’t the only one caught up in knots.
I’m not going anywhere. I’m already in bed. Talk to you later.
She held her breath waiting for his response. Maybe she shouldn’t have said she was in bed.
What r u wearing?
That made her laugh. Such a typical guy thing to say. She took a couple deep breaths as she thought about how she should respond. She was only wearing a cute little pair of knickers, but should she be honest or have some fun with him? He got her so worked up every time she saw him that it seemed only fair he got a turn at being riled up. Right?
Nothing but a lacy blue g-string. U?
A moment later her phone rang and chuckling, she answered.
“Hello?”
“You serious or just messing with me?”
