“Where are we going?”

“Now, Foster.”

I huff in frustration but follow him all the same. We make our way down the hall, headed toward the elevators. We step into the next car together. When he presses20, I make a face at him.

“Care to explain, or are you going to keep me guessing?”

Mikhail wears a smug smile but says nothing. I cross my arms. God, why does he have to be so insufferable? And why do I like it so much? My head must be broken, because when the elevator doors slide open, I follow willingly.

The entire floor houses several large rooms dedicated entirely to a section of the company’s servers. Nobody is down here, the computers self-sufficient in running themselves. Unless one of the systems goes off-line, there’s no need for a technician to come down here. We’re alone.

He knows it.

I know it.

And then he pounces.

Chapter 14

Mikhail

Ipraise the powers that be that Aurora chose to wear a skirt today. It makes pulling down her panties and running my fingers over her pussy that much easier. I claim her lips, hungrier than I’ve ever been. Last night was a feast, but I’m determined to come back for seconds, thirds, and fourths.

“H-here?” she gasps, though she makes no effort to push me away. Instead, she clings to my shoulders and holds on tight, raising one leg up to hook over my hip. She’s already wet with anticipation, grinding against me with a soft moan.

It would be easy to get lost in her. She’s a tempting treat, a glorious distraction.

But I need answers.

“How much did you hear?” I ask her again, a low growl in her ear.

Aurora pulls back slightly, swallowing hard. “Hear what?”

“I know you were listening, Aurora.”

“I wasn’t.”

“Don’t lie to me.”

She chews on the inside of her cheek, peering deeply into my eyes. I can see her thinking, can practically hear the gears whirring inside her brain.

Iknowshe heard something. When my brothers get angry, they get loud. There’s a good chance she heard something she shouldn’t have. My business with Konstantin is just that—mybusiness. I refuse to drag Aurora into this mess. The less she knows, the better.

“Are you and your brothers Russian Mob?” she asks quietly.

Well, shit. That throws a wrench in things.

I pull away. I need to figure out a way to spin this. Aurora only has her suspicions. If I play this right—

Aurora blinks up at me. I can tell there’s a myriad of questions bubbling up just beneath the surface.

“What’s going on, Mikhail?” she continues. “Does this have anything to do with last night? What about your uncle, Konstantin?”

“Don’t ever mention that man’s name in front of me again,” I snap. It comes out much harsher than I intend it to.

“What are you hiding?” she asks, persistent as ever.

“It has nothing to do with you.”
