I loved her confidence. “Sure.” I gestured to my office. “Ladies first.”
She peered around wearingly. “Wait, what? Why do we have to play in your office while everyone else is here?”
“Because I want to. Are you about to change your mind?”
She glared at me. “No, I’m not. Let’s go.” Still holding tightly to her friend, she started for the French door to my office.
“Stop.”
They both halted. Apparently, she was good at taking instructions, which meant she would be submissive when I filled her sharp mouth with my cock. Impressive.
“You…” I pointed at the friend. “Stay here. You’ll come with me alone,moya zvezda.”
“Mariana,” she retorted with a sigh. “I can’t leave her alone.”
“Me either,” her friend chimed in. “Who knows what you’re going to do to her in your office.”
A smug smile played on my lips. “I wouldn’t do anything she doesn’t want.”
Mariana shifted her weight on one leg, the fair skin on her face turning red with a blush.
“What I want is to leave this place.”
“Is it? I don’t agree.” She blushed again and a genuine smile broke free from my lips. My first smile since I rolled out of bed with a woman beside me this morning.
I had a shitty day today. The Outfit wasn’t happy about Giovanni and Angelo’s death. They were loyalists to the Camorra and they’d been on our backs ever since.
Sergey insisted it was better to avoid a war; he said we needed to get back on track with business and regain our power, and it was unwise to take down another rival family for now.
I didn’t agree with him. Giovanni and Angelo threatened our power and they needed to go. The Outfit could be collateral damage. We had enough men to take them down in a single day.
“Don’t worry about me. I’ll be safe.” Mariana peered at me as she assured her friend, “He wouldn’t hurt me. I’ll scream if he does.” She freed her friend from her grasp and led the way, stopping by the door and waiting for one of my bodyguards to open the door before she stepped in.
I followed her in, offering her the seat across my desk. “Do you want something to drink?”
“So you can drug or poison me?” She dismissed my offer with a wave of her hand. “No. Thanks for not trying to be an asshole for once though.”
“You’re welcome.” I winked at her and she tsked. Strolling over to the mini fridge in the corner of my office, I grabbeda bottle of Johnnie Walker and two glasses, just in case she changed her mind.
She peered around, taking in my office and holding a blank expression. I had no idea if she was impressed or disgusted. “What game are we playing?”
“Poker.” I settled in my seat and poured myself a glass. “Texas Hold’em.”
It didn’t reach her eyes, still, I was surprised that she smiled at me. She looked so beautiful when she smiled. I wanted to see her like that all the time. “What are we betting on?”
“Money, and your request of course.”
“Perfect! You’re going to regret this though, don’t say I didn’t warn you.” One of the guards brought a stack of cards and splayed them on the table.
The deck of cards lay neatly shuffled between us, waiting to be dealt. I gestured for her to take a seat opposite me for a second time as the guard dealt out the cards, maintaining a poker face while the tension crackled in the air.
She examined her cards, her expression unreadable as she casually reached for the glass I poured for myself and brought it to her mouth.
Her full, pink lips pressed against the glass, leaving an imprint of red lipstick on it. I froze for a second, watching every little movement she that is not supposed to be as sexual as it appears to me.
I licked my lips, thirsty to taste hers and wondering how good of a kisser she was. I assessed my hand, trying to gauge her reaction, but she wasn’t giving anything away.
Impressive.
