I squirm in his lap as he nuzzles my neck, it feels heavenly but the timing sucks.
“I’m going to be late for work,” I say, twisting away from him, but he holds me tight.
“If you can manage to bring your fine ass home on time, I’ll have a nice dinner waiting for us,” he says in that deep sensual voice of his. “We’ll give a whole new meaning to the phrase make-up sex.”
“Yeah?” I snake my arms around his neck. “How about a preview kiss?”
He cups my face and proceeds to lay the most sumptuous, tongue-tangling kiss on me that sends heat straight to my core.
A meeting notification pops up on his laptop.
I groan knowing I need to leave for work anyway.
“All right, lady,” he says and playfully smacks my bottom. “I’ve got a meeting and you’re going to be late for your shift.”
He glances at the screen as I hop up. His expression clouds a bit.
“Oh yeah,” he says, rising from the chair. “We’ll have a house guest in a few days.”
My stomach drops. “Not your uncle?”
He looks askance at me. “No, my brother Nicolaus. He’s a sophomore at Cornell University.”
“Oh,” I sigh in relief. “Well, good. How long will he be staying?”
“Just over the Thanksgiving break, three or four days tops,” he points off to his left. “He’ll stay in the spare bedroom across from my office.”
“Okay, do we need to do anything special for his visit? I don’t suppose there’s any need for a big Thanksgiving feast.”
He shakes his head. “No, nothing like that. I’ll handle everything, I just didn’t want to blindside you with it.”
“Cool.” I step back over to him and lift for a goodbye kiss. As I turn to walk away, he slips his hand into mine.
“And just so you know, turning away from you last night was the single most excruciatingly painful thing I’ve ever done in my life. I was dying to give in and just fuck the hell out of you.”
I look him up and down. “Yeah, well, you just make sure you exercise that same level of restraint the next time some big boobed bimbo pushes up on you.”
He laughs. “Go to work, doc.”
Chapter 8 – Trouble Brewing
Time’srunningoutandUncle Sergei is leaning hard on me to bring Madison in. He had the gall to make threats to the effect that if I didn’t end it, he’d end her. I could strangle the bastard for even insinuating that he’d hurt her.
I told him I needed more time, and that this is a delicate situation that requires finesse. Meanwhile, I tried to convince Natasha to postpone her move to the U.S., but the bosses are pressing for the big wedding to heal the rift between the families.
And now, Stieg Korbet wants to meet with me. He’s my father’s cousin and former best friend. Over the years, he’s been like a big brother to me. He also happens to be one of Sergei’s captains. Some say he’s next in line if I don’t toe the line.
Stieg runs one of the biggest strip clubs in the city. Madison would have my nuts in a vice if she saw me walking in this joint, but this is where a lot of the business takes place. Half the girls in the harem pool are sourced from here.
It’s dark inside the club, heavy base music is pounding through the sound system. The girls are on the stage plying their trade, pole dancing in nothing more than G-strings. But I keep my eyes straight ahead making a beeline to the bar.
The bartender looks up at me. “Hey, Sebastian, you want your usual? We just got a new shipment of—”
“No, that’s alright,” I wave him off. “I’m here to see Stieg. Where is he?”
“In the back office upstairs.”
“Thanks, Ron.”
