Sinclair's eyes light up. Goddamnit.
"And this must be your sister? I'd heard you had an identical twin," he asks with too much interest.
"I'm Rose Monroe, Senator, it's a pleasure to meet you."
To my horror, she holds out a flirty little hand to shake his. I don't want him touching her. I slide my arm around her waist, too, and pull her away.Maybe a little abruptly because her feet tangle up in mine and only Av stepping in and catching her saves us from a mortifying sprawl.
"Oops!" I say in a cheery tone. "Looks like our blood sugar's getting low. I'm always terribly clumsy when I haven't eaten."
"Of course," Sinclair says. His sharp little eyes narrow, even while he keeps his genial grin. "Be sure to let your husband know how much I'm looking forward to working with him for the benefit of this great state."
I hustle Rose back to the car, Melina has called ahead and the Mercedes and our two chase cars are double parked just a few steps away. Have they been circling the block this whole time? Probably.
"Aw, that was going to be fun," Rose whines. "Fucking with a U.S. Senator? We'd be legendary."
"No." The driver pulls away from the curb and I swear I see Sinclair staring at us through the store window. "That man isdeepinto his villain era. I can feel it. We don't play games with him. Ever."
I hope that's the last time we ever see him, but I have a feeling I'm not going to be that lucky.
Chapter Twenty-Three
In which everyone notices that Andrey’s concentration is slipping. Understandably.
Andrey…
"One of the first concerns regarding Andrey's appointment to the Judiciary is…"
Faintly, I hear Nikandr's snicker.
"Andrey?"
"He's weak and depleted." That's Alexsey.
"Drained of all his fluids." Fucking Nikandr.
"ANDREY!"
My eyes fly open and everyone around the boardroom table is staring at me. Some of them are grinning.
"Yes?" Frost drips from the single word.
Dmitri was the shouter and he looks infuriated. "Perhaps you'd like to stay awake long enough to hear some fairly crucial information?"
With a sigh, I straighten my tie. "Go on."
He shakes his head, a reluctant smile crossing his stern face. "At least we know that the honeymoon stage is going well."
Roman looks vaguely nauseated and I can't blame him. Irisishis sister-in-law.
There's some truth to Nik's irritating comment about, "drained of all my fluids." I intended to give Iris a break after that first night together. She was extremely sore, simply based on how she hobbled around the penthouse, but she is just as rapacious as I am.
After taking her virginity in bed, I made the mistake of bringing her into the shower to take care of her. I underestimated the power of her gorgeous, naked body. There was a constellation of bruises on her neck and shoulders and I traced each one with my mouth. Some bite marks on her breasts needed soothing. Each one was more gorgeous than the last.
Seeing my marks on her sent me into some greedy, primal mindset. So, when her soft hand reached out and stroked over the pearls on my cock, I put her on the bench in the shower, the brass waterfall spray raining down on us and I ate her out until she was wet enough for me to shove my cock back into her.
Iris is stubborn, in this case to my benefit. Her pussy was red and a little swollen, but she wrapped her legs around my waist and pulled me deeper into her.
Yebat'!This woman.
