I mean, what did I think we were doing in the shower?

He’s getting into the shower with me.

He’s…coming in the shower with me. Like we’re…lovers.

I swallow.

I’m going to see him…naked.

And worst of all, when he’s done…it’s my turn.

“Mikhail,” I whisper. But when he looks at me, I don’t respond because I honestly don’t know what I want to say. Instead, I watch as his clothes fall to the floor. I look away, my cheeks flaming.

I’ve never seen a man like him this close, and definitely never naked. I steal a glance back and quickly note heavily inked arms, rippling with strength. Golden skin, and a sculpted physique that speaks of a man that’s never fully at rest. A man who’s trained to use his body like a weapon, laced with so many tattoos, I know they must tell a story.

Broad shoulders flex as he pulls off his tee, revealing more tattoos and defined abs. When he tosses his tee into the hamper, it hits the side and slithers down. I watch the muscles ripple in his back, showcasing another intricate map of ink, but he turns before I note what it is.

And then his boxers. My cheeks burn hotter as I stare into his eyes because I amnotlooking there. Nope. I need to get into that shower, so…I guess it’s…my turn.

I’ve never stripped in front of a man before. While I’m not exactly a virgin, the sex I’ve had was in the dark and absolutelyforgettable. Something tells me that sex withhimwould be scorched into my mind for eternity. I mean, if I survived it.

I reach for my tee when he narrows his eyes at me, spins me around, and claps his hand against my ass.

“Hey!”

“You do not undress yourself.”

I swallow and stare over my shoulder at him. “What?”

“You heard me, little hacker,” he says in that low drawl of an accent. “That job belongs to me and you will not take it from me.”

Standing there fully naked, he turns me to face him and reaches for my top. He rests his hands on my hips for a brief second before he lifts my top over my head. My breasts swing free. Next, he reaches for my panties and drags them down my legs.

My cheeks heat with embarrassment and I turn away when I’m fully naked.

I feel his hand on my chin.

“Why do you look away, Aria?”

Aria, notlittle hacker.

“I’m naked,” I say. Isn’t it obvious? I’m ashamed of standing front of him with nothing to hide me.

“You’re beautiful,” he says in a matter-of-fact tone. “You have nothing to be ashamed of. You belong to me now, and you will not hide what belongs to me.”

I. Belong. To him.

Is that my…punishment?

“What does that mean?” I whisper, my voice trembling.

“You will see.”

I’m so nervous. Wordlessly, he balls my clothes and tosses them into the hamper in the corner of the room.

“Ten points for Russia,” I murmur.

His eyes melt into an almost-smile before he takes my hand in one of his massive hands, sliding his other down the length of my body.
