Romi returned to collect me, so I said a quick goodbye to Anton and met Romi outside. On the way back to the Estate, all I could think about was long blond hair, blue eyes, and that kiss. What a kiss!
When we got home, Miki was still up, and we joined him for a vodka nightcap. After filling Romi in on the information we’d discovered tonight about the Malia boys and Broxy alliance, I filled them both in on what Juana had said before we all finally headed off to bed.
CHAPTER 11
GRACIE
THE FOLLOWING WEEK - TRYING TO FORGET MR SEXY VOICE
After Derrick dropped me home that night, and true to form, I replayed the evening over and over in my mind, especially my interaction with the gorgeous Russian with the sexy voice. Oh, and that kiss!
I had been left wishing the ground would open up and swallow me yet again when the sexy Russian ran off, leaving me a mess. Not to mention thoroughly embarrassed and annoyed at the audacity of the man who had kissed me and then ran. If I thought he was a jerk before, I knew it now.
Derrick had helped me clean up, interrogating me in the process.
“And just what were you and the delightful Mr Rominov doing rolling around in the garbage, young lady?” he asked, with his eyebrows raised and his hands on his hips as if he was my dad or something.
“Nothing, he just bumped into me, and we, eh, we slipped,” I stuttered, embarrassed at being caught in such a compromising position with that jerk.
“And landed on each other’s faces lip-locked? Yeah, I could see that,” he laughed.
“You have got the hots for the sexy Russian, and I guess you made a better impression on him than we first thought, huh?” he said, nudging me and wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
“I have not got the hots for him,” I denied.
“Anyway, he kissed me. What a jerk! Who does he think he is?” I said, trying to sound outraged when, in fact, the only thing raging about me was my hormones. It had been the hottest I had ever been over a guy in, well, forever, and all we did was kiss.
“It wasn’t even very good anyway,” I lied, not very convincingly.
“Oh, I could tell by the flames coming from your panties!”
“Derrick Reid!” I exclaimed, shocked.
“Don’t deny it, girl! Anyway, it is about time you got some action, so if you get the chance, you should definitely go for it!”
“He isn’t even that attractive!” I lied again, patting myself as I tried to get the cream and crumbs off me and hide my embarrassment.
“Girl, he is gorgeous, and you know it. And that accent…. Who knew the Russian accent could sound so sexy?” he gushed.
“I know, right?” I agreed with enthusiasm before I could stop myself.
“Ha, busted!” he simpered, wiggling his eyebrows again.
“He is still a jerk, though,” I pouted in annoyance.
“Yeah, maybe, but a gorgeous jerk, and it’s about time you got yourself laid anyway, so if the opportunity arises, take it!”
“Derrick Reid, I do not need to get laid!” I stated indignantly.
“Oh, you so do!” he replied.
My inner devil shoutedYep!in agreement.
Geez! I guessed they were both right, but despite how hot our kiss was, the guy had run off and never returned. He hadn’t even asked for my name or number. So, if I was going to get laid anytime soon, it wasn’t likely to be by him. Damn!
That had been four days ago, and thoughts of my few encounters with the sexy Russian continued to bombard me on a regular basis.
Jerk or not, I secretly wished he had asked for my number. But he hadn’t even asked for my name, so I needed to accept that and forget him. However, it was not proving an easy task.
