“Did I actually just get a hug from Nikolai?”

“You are part of a very exclusive club now. He is not much of a hugger.”

“Yeah, I picked up on that.”

“He guards his emotions very well.”

“You all do.” I turn and start picking up the last few bottles of water that are still scattered about. “Except Aleksei. He seems like he’s just naturally laid back.”

Dima shrugs his broad shoulders. “He had easier childhood. Didn’t grow up in Russia like Nikolai and I did. His family moved here when he was still pretty young.”

“I’m sorry. I would take the pain from you if I could.”

His face softens, and he walks over to me, cupping my face in his hands. “I would not want you to. It made me who I am and brought me to you.”

I lean into his touch and kiss the palm of his hand. “Let’s go to bed.” When his eyes narrow and he gives me that sexy grin of his, I add, “To sleep, Dima. No way in hell am I going to wear you out the night before a big fight.”

“No sex?” he asks, and I can’t help but laugh at the shocked expression on his face. I imagine it’s the only time in his entire life that he’s ever been told no in regards to his dick. I give him a smug grin, kind of pleased that I’m his first.

The superior feeling doesn’t last long. He gives me a wicked grin and tosses me over his shoulder, taking the stairs two at a time so within seconds I’m on our bed with him hovering above me, looking down at me with those intense blue eyes that are impossible to resist.

“Would you really deny me the pleasure of your body, beautiful?”

“That’s not fair!”

“What is not fair?”

He’s already sliding his hand under my shirt and bra to run his thumb over my hard nipple and kissing a line down my neck.

“You know you’re impossible to resist,” I complain, already feeling my resolve shatter with each stroke of his finger and each kiss on my overly sensitive skin.

“I will never sleep with this hard-on, and we both know it,” he murmurs against my skin.

I can feel how hard he is, and I know he’s right. “I guess it would be better for you to get some sleep.” I’m already tugging his shirt off before the words are out of my mouth. “But a quickie, Dima! I’m serious. You have to get your rest.”

“Da, da,whatever you say, wicked girl,” but his words are cut off when he buries his face between my legs. I think about stopping him, but as soon as his tongue hits my clit, I’m lost to everything except the pleasure he’s giving me.

Two hours later, we’re both sweaty and completely and utterly spent. I curl up against him with a lazy smile on my face and my muscles feeling like absolute jelly.

“I’m not so sure you know what a quickie is.”

He laughs and wraps his arms around me. “Is impossible to be quick with you. I want too much. I need too much. Is your fault really.”

I kiss his chest and hike a leg over his while he pulls the covers up over us. “I’m not going to apologize for that,” I tell him, already losing the fight against keeping my eyes open.

“You better not.” His voice sounds heavy with sleep, and I’m happy that he’ll at least get a full night’s rest. I guess his sex plan was a better idea.

The last thing I remember before the morning sun wakes me is him telling me he loves me. When I sit up and my groggy brain catches up to the fact that I’m alone, I jump up and holler for Dima, thinking that maybe he’s just in the shower. A quick sweep of the apartment shoots that theory down with a quickness. I race back upstairs to throw on some clothes, and that’s when I see the note that’s half-buried under my pillow. Jumping on the bed, I grab it and try to slow my breathing down when I read Dima’s masculine print.

Gina,

Try not to be too angry with me. The fight is just going to upset you, and I don’t think you need to see it. It will not be like the first fight you saw. Let me take care of this, and I will be home soon. After today, we can put this behind us and move on with our lives together.

I love you more than I have ever loved anyone.

Dima

P.S. On the very slight chance something goes wrong, Vadim will be in touch. Just know that you will be taken care of. Always.
