I laugh and shake my head. “You’re kidding? All my makeup has been cried off this afternoon.”

“You’re beautiful without it, Katiya, just as you are.”

“So are you, Marco.”

He kisses me again. I know he doesn’t want to make too much of a show of things in here because, no doubt, Aleksi will have cameras around the main areas of the house.

“I want to do this right,” he whispers in my hair when we break free.

“What do you mean?”

“Court you.”

“What?” I laugh. “You sound so knightly.”

He smirks. “It’d be nice to see if you’re really a pain in the ass all the time, even in a public setting.”

I smack him on the arm. “Very funny. I could say the same about you, Mr. Medici. You are, after all, a lot older than me. You should know better.”

“A lotolder?”

I smile. “Well, you don’t have any gray hairs yet.”

He holds my chin. “Does this mean I don’t get to be calleddaddy,now?”

I shake my head. “No. But just know this, if you’re going to ‘court’ me, I don’t put out on the first date.”

His lips curl up. “I bet I could make you.”

“That’s not how it works,” I say. “I’m a good little Russian girl, in case you didn’t already know.”

He lowers his mouth to my ear. “You didn’t look so angelic when I had my cock down your throat.”

I roll my lips. “You’re devilish, Marco Medici. Lucky for you, I like your way of thinking.”

“Get used to it, because when I love someone, they get all of me.”

I pull back and look at him. “You love me?” I whisper.

“Yes, but let’s not get all weird about it.”

I pull him closer and I can feel his hardness pressing into me.

“I love you too,” I say as our eyes meet. “And it’s crazy, we barely know one another.”

“We will,” he states, like it's a fact. “We’ve got all the time in the world.”

His arms tighten around me.

“I hope you know you’re in for one hell of a ride,” I say, poking him in the chest.

He grins. “I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
