Then a smile lights his eyes as he offers me his hand.
“I never did get the pleasure of your name.”
“No.” I smile back at him as I take his hand and whisper, “I don’t believe I offered it.”
We enter the plane, but that is where the description ends. It’s as if I have entered a fucking hotel and I stare in amazement at the interior of a palace in the sky.
“Wow! This is impressive. I knew I made the right decision.”
I laugh as I gaze around me in wonder.
Alexei appears to be judging my response and I suppose I should play it cool, but this is a once in a lifetime experience and I say in awe. “I’m just surprised you were going to travel commercially.”
“I have business to attend to. It always comes first.”
“Of course.”
I know a lot about that because my family is the same. Business always takes precedence, and I understand what he means.
I nod at the liveried attendant, who almost bows to the man by my side.
“Mr. Romanov. Your usual?”
“Not this time, Anton. I’ll show my guest to her room and then I’ll meet with Gleb.”
“Of course, sir, follow me.”
We start to follow him, and I whisper, “My room?”
I keep pace beside him and lower my voice. “You mean this really is a hotel? Wow again.”
He shrugs. “It has many rooms. We travel long distances and comfort is the top priority. There is also a gym, a movie theater and a restaurant. If you are weary, I have a spa where a trained masseuse will attend to you and if you require any treatments, that can be arranged too.”
“What do you do with your time on board?”
I’m mildly curious because, knowing the men in my family, business always takes over.
“I amuse myself.”
He shrugs. “I work, play, eat and rest. It passes the time.”
“Play?” That word alone causes my blood to heat because I’m guessing the kind of games this man likes to play and he nods, throwing a heated look my way with a soft, “If you want to play the game, I will show you how.”
“Who says I don’t know already?” I raise my eyes and he grins, that panty melting grin that gets me every time.
“You may not have played my favorite game, tiger.”
“Then teach me.” I fire back, loving the lust that heats his gaze as he directs it my way and I swear to God, every wish I ever had is being granted right now as he slides those eyes the length of my body and then back to my face and smirks, “Give me one hour and just for the record, you asked for it.”
He turns away and I really should back away and fast because this man’s games could ruin me. I may not leave this aircraft the same woman that entered it and I sincerely hope I don’t. I am so bored with playing it safe. Bored of doing the right thing and searching for kicks that would send my grandparents to an early grave. Serena Vieri has been protected her whole life but even they didn’t see this man coming and I am not going to waste this opportunity, whatever it involves.
CHAPTER3
ALEXEI
Iwalk with my guest to her room and as we enter, I stare at the pretty space dressed in ivory silk with gold trim.
It’s a room fit for a princess and, as always, money has not been spared in its creation. She stares around her with an eagerness that makes me smile. There have been many occupants of this room before, and all of them appreciate its decadence. She is no exception and I expect she will be no different from them.
