“Because there is. He’s made snide remarks under his breath to me time and time again, and I’ve brushed them off for the most part. But he did it again today. Then he had the nerveto call me into his office today and tell me I had to work ‘overtime’. I made up some bullshit response about having a prior obligation, and then I got so furious that I quit. I walked out of his office and threw the few things I had on my desk in my purse, then walked out of there.”
Lom inhales a deep breath. “I see. I’m proud of you for standing up for yourself. No one should have to deal with such things, but since you’ve done this, I’m wondering if you have a decision for me about moving to Grozny. Your job was a big part of why you were going to stay, but since you’ve quit, it leaves me wondering what you’re going to do.”
I take another sip of my whiskey sour as every pro and con has come to my mind over the last few days. It’s a huge leap of faith to move with him in general, but to move halfway across the world is another thing entirely. I want to take this leap with him, so I’ll do it, even if it scares me half to death. “I don’t have anything holding me back here anymore, Lom… so I’ll move to Grozny with you.” Even if something happened and we didn’t work out, at least I’d have Amelia there. I also have the luxury of working from anywhere, so I won’t be cooped up in a house or condo all day long.
Lom snakes his hand around the back of my neck and pulls me closer to him. I end up putting my drink on the coffee table in front of us, and he does the same thing. The door to the suite closes, and I’m sure Ludvik just made a run for it before things get too crazy in here. “You have absolutely no idea how delighted I am to hear that you’re coming with me.”
I furrow my brows and scrunch my nose up. “Why? Did you think I wasn’t going to?”
He chuckles lightly. “You didn’t give me any sort of hint for what to expect from you. I thought you were going to try to be reasonable, tell me that it was too soon for us to have any sort of move together, especially one to the other side of the world.”
“Well, it is… but I’m taking the biggest leap of faith that I ever have, and I’m doing it with you… so I hope you can see how important you are to me.”
Lom yanks me down further against him, and my body presses into his. My hair falls over both sides of my face, and he looks up at me with nothing but pure adoration. “I wonder if you have any idea how happy you’ve made me today.” He brings his hand up to caress my face and cascades his thumb against my cheekbone. I nuzzle my face into his touch, craving the comfort it brings me.
Lom rises up a tad, and I lean down until our lips are mere millimeters away from each other. His lips are plumper than most men’s but in a good way. I knew from the first moment I saw him that he was going to be a good kisser. Some men need raw talent, while others need the right tools. It’s just like what they say about men and their cocks, it’s never the size, and it’s always about if they know how to use it.
Lom brings one hand down to my hip and keeps it there for a few moments while we kiss, then he brings it down over my ass and rubs it. We both know where this is leading, and I need it to get there as soon as possible. I bring my hands between us and fumble with his belt until I unloop it, then unbutton his pants and unzip them. We work together to pull them down, and afterward, I’m yanking my lace thong off. There’s absolutely no need for foreplay right now, especially since I’m already this turned on. We pull his pants down to around his knees, and his hard cock presses against me. I line myself up on him and slowly sink down onto his cock. I exhale harshly through my nose as he fills me up, and I bounce up and down on him. After a few minutes, Lom meets my movements, but he puts a hand on the small of my back and then forces me down on top of him.
Once our bodies are touching, he increases his speed and fucks me long and hard. But he wants something. I can see it in his eyes.
I end up pulling my dress over my head, and as I throw it on the floor, he has a hand behind my back, unclasping my bra like he’s a professional. He dips his head between my breasts and tweaks one nipple with his thumb and index finger before he encloses his lips around the other. He sucks and nibbles, and electric volts shoot through my body. There’s absolutely nothing that can compare to the way Lom makes me feel, not at all.
Juices slide down between us from how wet I am, and I know it’s only going to get wetter. It’s going to practically be a damn slip ‘n’ slide when we’re done, but I don’t mind it. He’s a damn dream of a man.
I wrap my arm around his head and run my fingers through his thick curly locks. He increases his speed, and I’m right on the brink of coming undone around him. “Lom, fuck, I’m so close,” I rasp out. My entire body tenses up, and I’m right there, so close to a fireworks show of an orgasm.
He increases his speed and sucks harder on one breast while pinching the other one even more intensely. “Fuck, fuck, fuck! Yes, just like that,” I moan, and my orgasm shoots through me like a torpedo.
Lom keeps going as hard as he can until he reaches his own release, and at this point, I can barely keep myself upright. It’s like I’ve lost all strength in my body, and Lom smirks at me as he brings his head back up, but he still toys with my hard nipples.
“You’re the most beautiful woman on the planet in my eyes. I hope you know that.”
Chapter Sixteen
Lom
It’s been a couple of days since Emily agreed to move to Grozny with me. In that time, she’s stayed busy packing things up at the apartment she and Amelia shared. Amelia even left some things here, so Emily’s been taking them to the post office to get them shipped to Grozny. We both had a talk about it, and it seems to be the easiest option. Emily’s even going to be sending some of her things out there before we move. We discussed bringing two or three suitcases of her stuff with us when we fly out, but otherwise, everything else needs to be out of the apartment. Little did I know her and Amelia’s lease was coming up, and in my eyes, it’s another sign that making this move together is what we’re supposed to be doing.
Emily’s at her apartment right now with Ludvik. Since she’s so important to me, I don’t want her to be without protection. Truth be told, I never understood why Ruslan put Danill on duty watching Amelia, but now since Emily is so close to me, I understand his reasoning completely. There’s nothing more that you want to do than protect those you care about. It’s a primal instinct and one I really understand now. Before, I knew what it meant to want to protect my family, but I never understood what it meant to protect someone you love like I do now.
Wait a second.
Love.
Is that what I feel for Emily? Is this love? I know I’ve never felt this way for another woman before, but I haven’t ever experienced it, so how would I truly know what love feels like?
An alert in my email causes me to get out of my head for a minute and check in, but I don’t get to read the email as myphone starts ringing. I glance down and see it’s Ludvik from the caller ID, so I answer. “Is everything all right?”
“Yes, but I did need to speak to you. Emily’s in her bedroom packing away some of her things, so we have a few minutes to chat without her overhearing me,” Ludvik comments, and I know now that he must have some sort of information about what he’s been looking into.
“Go on,” I urge him, desperate to get any kind of answer.
“I received confirmation that Julio Ramirez has been the head of a smaller cartel within Mexico for practically the last twenty years. He operated mainly under the radar and used child trafficking to help him gain a reputation among the big players. Only very recently did he make it known that Rafael was his father. Everyone knew they had the same surname but didn’t put two and two together. He’s made his wishes and goals very clear. He wants to lead the Mexican Cartel because he believes it’s his right, not his uncle Alejandro’s. He believes it only went to Alejandro because Rafael is deceased, so the right order of power would be with him. Now, he’s been tied to Lucy for many years. Almost two decades, actually. She has phone records that coincide with Rafael’s when her husband was still alive.”
Why am I not surprised that Lucy Wilson cheated on her husband?
“You and I already both know what hand she had in finding children for Julio, but she reached out to many desperate mothers over the years. From what my contact told me, she brought at least a thousand children to Julio, and that’s all they witnessed first-hand. There’s a possibility that there were more than that, and I’d put my money that there are many more. I’m having my contact see if he can find anything from ten to twelve years ago since that’s when I assume the child would’ve been brought in. It narrows down his search, but if I could get more information from you, it would help us weed out the kidsit couldn’t be. But there’s more. Since Amelia’s now married to your brother, others have begun looking into her and her family. Many of the Umarova allies know that Lucy has been tied with Julio for some time, and I’m sure I don’t need to state how much of an issue that is.”
