I kiss Lilli to prove a point. I can do what the hell I like, and she is powerless to deny me. She kisses me back with passion, a desire of her own, and as my hand presses her closer, a gentle moan escapes into my mouth.
She hates that she wants me. I see it in her eyes, but she is curious about the feelings I cause inside her. Sex is a dirty word in her world. Not the beautiful explosion of desire it can be, and I want to prove that she can change her mind about that.
Her soft moan causes me to deepen the kiss; to tangle my tongue in hers and empty her mind of fear. I’m taking things slow with Lilli and kissing her is one example of that. It’s rare I kiss anyone. Most of the women I fuck are paid professionals who don’t require seduction. Occasionally they aren’t and those women get a different experience entirely that always ends up with a bouquet of roses the next day and a gift of my appreciation, but never a return visit.
Now I want one hundred days and nights with this woman. That surprised me as much as it did her. One hundred days to deal with this obsession before sending her on her way. Tine enough to try something different and then reclaim my sanity.
Time to rebuild my broken angel and do something good for once.
Time to play, time to explore and time to banish this obsession I have for this woman back into the shadows where it belongs.
CHAPTER 26
LILLI
I’m surprised to find I could kiss Mikhail all night long. It’s a pleasurable experience that I wasn’t expecting. He is respectful yet demanding and has taken nothing I’m not willing to give him, but one hundred days. Do I really want to sign up for that?
Right now, in this super-charged moment, I would agree to anything just to experience more of this. What surprises me though is I want more of him, his dirty words and hard kisses. His rough hands sliding over my skin and driving my body to unexplained pleasure.
What would sex be like with a man like him? Is he no different to the men Reggie met? I kind of hope he is, and something is telling me he is an honorable man underneath the dark exterior. He hides behind it like a safety net. His words don’t measure up to his actions and I feel safe with him.
Will I use him to get my revenge, and will I be happy to walk away after one hundred days and nights? Will I survive that amount of time with him? I want to try at least.
I pull back and this time I cup his face in my hands and the spark of lust that flares in his eyes gives me a power I wasn’t expecting.
“One hundred days I can agree to, but you want my nights as well. What does that involve Mikhail? Full disclosure now.”
His eyes glitter and he twists his lips into a wicked grin.
“I want your mind, your body and your soul, Lilli. I want the whole of you to feed my obsession. I want to change your views on sex and prove how beautiful it can be, but only if you want it too.”
It’s as if I’m holding a crystal ball in my hands and I’m gazing at my future. I see extremes. Pleasure and pain in equal measure. I will be living a life that I hated until now. Mixing with men like Reggie did, knowing how they get their kicks. Would it be so hard to dip a toe in this black sea and try it out for a bit? Then walk away and settle for a life that many others enjoy.
“What happens after one hundred days?” I whisper in the dusky light, and he says gruffly, “I let you go with enough money to start somewhere else.”
“And you will honor that agreement.”
“I’m a man of my word, Lilli. I will send you on your way with one million dollars to your name.”
I blink in astonishment and for some reason his words douse the flames and I drop his face and move away sharply.
“I’m not a whore, Mikhail.” The tears burn as I realize how he sees me. He is buying my time and my services, and I will never agree to that.
He pulls me back flush against his body and hisses, “You are not a whore, Lilli. I never said you were, but you need my help, and the money is for helping me solve my father’s murder. The diary you own is worth the money alone, so I’m not paying for you. I’m compensating you for that.”
I breathe in deeply and then nod. “As long as you understand. But one million dollars, fuck, Mikhail, that’s a little excessive for a diary, don’t you agree?”
“No. It’s not enough if it gives me the information I require and for your information, I would have paid much more than that if you’d asked.”
Now I’m in his arms, it’s different from before. We have an agreement, at least I think that’s what it is, and I must honor my side of that because he is offering me so much more than I deserve.
I nod and smile at him tentatively.
“Okay.”
“As in…”
“I’ll accept your offer and be your obsession for one hundred days and nights in return for my diary and my help.”
