I watch in disbelief as he turns on the tap and seizes a bottle of foaming oil and pours a generous amount into it and my mouth dries as he rips off his sweater and I almost pass out at the bare chest flexing before my eyes. I can’t stop staring and not because it is covered completely in ink. It’s almost tribal and the muscles and well-defined abs make me lose my mind.

A low laugh makes me raise my eyes and his eyes shine with mischief as he smirks. “Like what you see, princess?”

“Not really.” I turn away and try to get my breathing under control because I am the biggest, fattest liar in the world right now.

Ilovewhat I see. I could stare at it all night and all day if I had to. How is this man even real, for Christ’s sake?

As I look back, I almost wish I hadn’t because now the combats have joined the sweater on the floor, and it appears underwear is not required.

I quickly spin around and hiss, “For fuck’s sake, don’t you have any manners?”

“No.”

His low laugh makes the blood rise in my face as I blush furiously and I actually whimper when he says with amusement, “What’s taking you so long?”

“What do you mean?” I face the other way and he laughs. “I thought you’d be glad to rid yourself of that uniform. Come on baby, don’t be shy. Haven’t you seen a man naked before?”

I squeeze my eyes tightly shut and whisper, “No.”

The silence returns and I swallow hard and then I almost jump out of my skin when a rough hand touches my shoulders and a softer voice says, “Turn around, malyshka.”

“No.”

I’m actually shaking and yet he won’t give in and spins me around to face him and lifts my chin, so I’m staring into those stunning eyes and I almost whimper when he says softly, “Relax, I’m not going to hurt you. We need to clean up and change, and that’s all this is. If it helps, you take the bath and I’ll take the shower.”

“Can’t I do it in private?” I run my tongue over my dry lips, and he shakes his head slowly, an evil grin lighting up his features, making me speechless for a moment.

“I don’t want to let you out of my sight for a second.”

“But we’re thirty thousand feet in the air! Where do you think I’ll go? Or is there a docking station through that door leading to an escape pod, where I will man the controls and head back to England in time for afternoon tea on the lawn?”

Even I start to laugh as his face breaks out into a broad smile and his laughter lightens the atmosphere for a minute before I’m shocked into silence when his lips brush against mine and he whispers, “Because it would break my heart if anything happened to you.”

I blink in astonishment because where has this come from and as his lips hover dangerously close to mine, I almost think he’s going to kiss me. I actually hope he is because the tension that’s been building between us needs dealing with, but now is obviously not that time because he closes his eyes and sighs deeply. “Don’t fight me, Charlotte. Remember, you’re my prisoner and just so you know, your fighting skills could use some serious work.”

Once again, he grins, and I am so confused right now. Then he strokes my face like a pet dog and the emotion in his eyes takes me by surprise as he says softly, “I promise I won’t look. I’ll take the shower and if you face away from me, the bubbles will cover your modesty.”

Realizing I don’t have a choice, I nod slowly and step back and as his hands drop away from me, I feel the loss already. Then, as he turns and walks over to the shower, I can’t help checking out his ass as he goes.

CHAPTER12

IVAN

Iam officially fucked, and not in the usual way. It took all my self-control not to push things with Charlotte. I want her. More than I’ve wanted anyone, and I’m guessing it’s because she’s here. I have never spent so long with a girl before and certainly not one that intrigues me as much as this one does. It’s taking a superhuman effort not to test the water and dive straight in. I know she’s a virgin. Just the embarrassment on her face and the yearning mixed with curiosity in those beautiful eyes tells me that. She almost whimpered when she saw my naked body and I’m sure if I pushed things, she would be in my arms willingly by now.

But the entire time, this mission is controlling me and reminding me she’s not mine to enjoy. She is my angel to sacrifice, and I must remember the stakes are high.

As the warm jets cleanse the dirt away, I wish it could do the same with my mind. It’s raging with possibilities right now about what I want to do to the English rose currently taking a dip in a gold–plated tub.

Fuck Malik and his family. They make my own seem like trailer trash. I have never seen luxury quite like this and I’m as impressed as Charlotte obviously is. When I saw the huge fucking bed dressed for sin, beckoning me inside, all I could think of was how good her naked body would look writhing in those sheets with my cock buried deep inside her and making her scream.

My cock throbs in agony as I pump it hard because fuck me, this is worse than any torture her psychotic father could conjure up.

I release a steady stream of cum to the floor and watch it escape through the drain and it brings with it a certain sense of release. As I soap my body and shampoo my hair, I try to wrestle my turbulent thoughts under control. However, it’s impossible to do all the time the object of those thoughts is naked on the other side of this screen, relaxing in a deep filled bath of decadent luxury.

This room has all the trappings of a lover’s paradise, and I must endure the most exquisite torture with a woman I am interested in way too much for my own good.

Making sure to give her enough time, I exit the shower and am not surprised to find her wrapped in a silk robe, her hair wet with droplets of water sliding down her face.
