“No?” He arched his brow.
“The first time you saw me, your eyes widened and swept my body from head to toe. More thorough than a minesweeper. You didn’t miss a single detail. Including the fact that my dick had hardened.”
Her nostrils flared, and she pursed her lips, but she didn’t deny it. Good. Liars were useless.
“Staring at my shaft as it hardened, your mouth dropped into a small oval. Not enough that I could fit my dick in it, but I could definitely have fed you a finger to suck. And your lips came out and licked the curves of yours as if it knew what I wanted and was eager to serve.”
“You’re crazy. I’m married to a madman.”
“Am I? Every time I came into the room, you had the same reaction. Your breasts rising and falling under your shirt questing for my hands. You wore a thin t-shirt, and I saw your nipples harden.”
“You couldn’t have…”
“I’m a very observant man, dove. I have to be. And you knew it because after that you kept them covered with a sweater.” He shrugged. “Which was fine for me, because I didn’t like the thought of anyone else watching your tits shrink into jerky treats.”
“Jerky treats?” She almost rose out of the chair, were she not tethered by her seatbelt.
“In Ardestan, we send our young men out for survival training in the mountains, with a small meal kit. In the kit are thin rolls of beef jerky. When you’re alone and have found no game. It might be all you have to survive. I would try to make mine last by bringing the beef stick into my mouth and sucking it. Wetting it with my saliva to pull any juice from it. Laving each precious crevice and cranny. Sucking it dry.” He shrugged, “that was breakfast.”
Her shoulders curled over as her body tried to save itself. Too late. She’d taken off her jacket when she sat down before takeoff and her nipples had proven his words. Damn, now he wanted to feast. Suck on the dark jerky treat she offered, along with her denial.
“I would have had you for breakfast. Lunch and dinner. Taken everything you didn’t know your body offered. Especially when I saw your legs clench and jerk together when I came into the room. Getting wet, I imagine.”
“You imagine? But you didn’t know? Like you think you know everything else about my body, my reactions.”
“Dove, I didn’t have to guess your attraction.” He arched his brow and waited. Still no denial.
“What about your reaction? I saw you watching me, too.”
“I don’t apologize for it. Truthfully, I wasn’t going to act on it. You were too close to my family. Living in the home of my brother. I was supposed to watch you. You were an unknown. A possible threat to my family. If you had made a move to harm either of them, I would have killed you without hesitation.”
“So instead of killing me, you married me.”
“Exactly.”
“I don’t get what’s in it for you. For me, I get to live out of the deal. What do you get? It can’t be the sex. I’m sure you can get that anytime, anywhere.”
He shrugged. “True.”
“Then why?”
“First, my brother ordered it. He is my captain. In this business, we have a strict chain of command we must obey. Family or not. I answer only to him and he answers only to my father. And Akim Ismailov answers to no one.”
“And if he had ordered you to kill me?”
“Then right now my men would be covering your body with dirt.”
“But I did not object. It was time for me to marry. My father had already sent word of that. You are smart. Beautiful. With a body that has my cock calling for you.” He shrugged again. “I did not object to Rurik’s choice for me.”
“And you didn’t care about my objections?”
“You only objected because of what you saw. I regret that our marriage started this way. But in time you’ll forget.”
“I will never forget the sight of you putting a gun in a man’s mouth and pulling the trigger. I’ve had nightmares about it for a week. Maybe I did want you before. But you killed it as surely as you killed Petur. I don’t want you anymore.”
Her brown eyes held his. Her honesty as brutal as his bullet. Until he reclined again and closed his eyes. “We shall see.”
