She didn’t want to give into the attraction, the sensations this man caused being so close to her like this never mind touching her. He ran the hand that was under her hair and head down along her shoulder, squeezed her and then caressed down her arm.
“Any particular reason why you’ve avoided me all evening?” He asked her and she turned to look up at him.
“Avoiding you, Mr. Sokolov?” She asked and heard the attitude in her voice.
He stared down into her eyes. “You shouldn’t have come to work if you couldn’t do your job a hundred percent.” He said, shocking her.
“Oh, I do my job a hundred percent and above, all the time. Maybe you were too pre-occupied to notice, and you were hidden away for most of the night in the back room.” She countered. He pressed his hand to her hip and pulled her against his chest.
“I’m a busy man with many responsibilities. I don’t have time for games.” He gazed over her breasts and then back into her eyes.
“Nor do I, so if you don’t mind, as I mentioned not too long ago, I’m not like other women. I won’t be used or a game for entertainment.” She pushed down on his arms but he didn’t budge.
“Entertainment?”
“I think you need to remember that I’m the help, you’re a distinguished patron.”
“You’re more than just the help, Annabella. For the record, my relationship with Cassandra is just business.” She snorted.
“I won’t divulge anything else to you. Remember who I am.”
“And remember who I am not.” She retorted.
“I came up here for a reason and that wasn’t to fight with you.”
“Oh, well what reason then?”
“First things first, how do you know Myran Shaw?” he asked and caressed her hip.
“Myran Shaw? I just met him at Carlotto’s earlier this evening.”
“So never before tonight?”
“No, why? Should I have? Did he say I had an attitude? Was I supposed to just let him flirt with me, steal a kiss like he copped a feel, because I’m not going to allow anything like that and I wasn’t even…”
“Wait, cop a feel?” he demanded to know.
She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth. “Forget it, I handled it.”
He pulled her against his chest. “No, I’m not forgetting it. Tell me what he said, how you met?”
“No, because I’m not doing this Ivan. I’m not going to be some woman you can make demands upon, to care about when it’s convenient or to make some other man jealous, envious or whatever the hell the reason is you keep acting like you care when I know you don’t. Nor will I be another whore you screw, or take advantage of when you’re in the mood.” She tried pushing from his embrace but he wouldn’t allow it.
He stared down into her eyes, and she was trying so hard to resist the need to press closer. To feel his lips against hers and his hands on her. She truly was trying to resist because she knew this would lead to trouble. Trouble she knew nothing about, or could handle.
“I don’t play games.” He said in a low, dangerously dark way. Her heart began to race. “You asked me once if I wanted to be Maloney’s whore and I told you no. The same goes for you, Ivan. I will not be your…”
He pressed her hard against the wall by the window and kissed her. He wrapped her up into his arms and she felt his hands possess her body, caress it, stroke her ass, her thighs and then cup her breast. She moaned into his mouth and could hardly catch her breath as he deepened the kiss, squeezed her a little tighter and then pulled from her mouth.
“Fuck.” He cursed against her neck and she paused, felt unsure of what would happen next yet knew she wanted to feel more.
He suckled her skin, pushed the strap of her dress down with one hand while he wrapped his other arm around her waist like a vice grip squeezing her closer as if he couldn’t get her close enough to him, and also wanted to keep the view to himself. He trailed his lips and tongue along her skin.
“Why? Where did you come from?” he asked and then licked into the cup of her bra.
“Ivan!” She said his name on a long sigh and moaned the moment his hot, wet tongue made contact with her very hard nipple. He twirled his tongue over it and then drew the taunt bud into his mouth and suckled harder.
“Oh God Ivan please. Oh please.” She begged.
