Maxim

Hoping that Sophia is still asleep, I walk into her apartment, holding coffee and bagels. I called Andrei earlier and canceled my plans for today. He was surprised when I told him and ruined his plans, but I don’t give a shit. He can handle business on a Saturday for once. I plan to spend the day with Sophia.

Setting them down, I head to check up on her. As I get closer to the door, I hear her repeating, “My body is perfect and beautiful,” repeatedly. Of course, her body is perfect. She is perfect. I want to kill the son of a bitch who made her doubt herself.

I vow to find that piece of shit and make him pay for what he did to her. Opening the door slowly, I’m greeted by a cock-hardening vision—Sophia wrapped only in a towel. My legs move on their own accord, and I’m behind her in three strides. She doesn’t notice my presence. She needs to be more alert. Someone could easily overpower her. Needing to touch her, I creep closer to her ear and say, “Good morning, lyubimaya.”

She screams and turns around, her hand to her heart. “What the fuck, Maxim! You shouldn't sneak up on people. You almost gave me a fucking heart attack.”

“You should be more alert.”

“What are you doing here? I thought you left?” Why does she sound upset? Is she mad I left her? That pleases me.

“I went to get us breakfast.” I grab her hips and bring her close to me. She smells amazing, like lavender, honey, and mine.

"You should stop assuming things.” She takes a step back, almost knocking into her dresser. She crosses her arm, and a slight crease forms between her eyebrows. My feisty Sophia is out to play. This is going to be fun.

“I’m starting to believe you were put in this world to be my punishment. It baffles me why you think you're so special that I wouldn't assume you would be like any other guy out in the world who would fuck and leave the next day. Next time, leave a note if you don't want me to fucking assume.” A smile graces my lips. This woman is going to be the end of me. If it were anyone else who spoke to me in that disrespectful tone, they would be staring at the end of my gun.

“What are you smiling at, Maxim?”

The way she says my name instantly makes my cock jump. I need to touch her.

Grabbing her hips, I force her to my chest and kiss her delicious lips. I’ve been desperate to do this all morning.

“Next time, huh?”

She looks away. Oh no, I won’t have that. Grabbing her chin, I force her head up so our eyes meet. Pink is staining her face. For a strong and fearless woman, she blushes a lot when I’m around. I enjoy causing that reaction.

“Of course, you would only take that tidbit from what I said.” She coughs.

“It’s a figure of speech, Maxim. No hidden meaning behind what I said.” The slight V I’m growing fond of starts to form. I need more. The moment I bend down, my fucking phone starts to ring. Groaning, I look at the screen. Andrei's name pops up, and I roll my eyes.

Can’t he handle shit by himself for one day?

“What?”

He laughs. “I thought you would be in a better mood after finally getting laid.” He’s wasting my time. I could be spending it with Sophia.

“What the fuck do you want, Andrei? Get on with it. I’m busy!”

He sighs. “Elena is not answering me. I’ve been trying to contact her all morning. I’m worried something might have happened to her. I knew Marcos wouldn’t let go of her that easily.”

Marcos is not going to double-cross me. He may have gotten fat and lazy in his old age, but he is not stupid.

“I’ll handle it,” I say, hanging up on him. I look over at Sophia.

“I have to deal with something. Finish getting ready. We’re going out.”

“Excuse me? You can’t just expect me to drop my plans because you say so. I have plans with my family.” Does she think that’s going to scare me off? Meeting her family was going to happen sooner or later. She’s mine.

“Perfect, I’m joining you.”

“You are insane. No, you’re fucking not,” she says, rolling her eyes.

“Not going to argue with you about this, Sophia. I’m going with you.”

“There is no argument because you’re not coming, Maxim. I’m not yours. Get that idea out of your head.” We’ll see about that.
