"Rhea." His voice was husky and deep, the hint of an accent i couldn't place in the understones. Dark eyes scanned my frame and the way they lingered made me swallow a shudder.
"Welcome," I lifted the cocktail trying to start a conversation. "Would you like something to drink....? I trained off again, hoping he would offer his name . They didn't always give one. That was fine. He didn't respond faster but he kept walking, stalking forwards like a predator. He was cornering me and I felt like a rabbit. The urge to flee raced up my spine but I couldn't do anything
"I would love a drink", He stopped in front of me and after a pause that felt too long, he finally reached out and circled his fingers over mine to accept the drink. His fingers were warm and he exhaled when his hand was over mine. The smile on my lips weakened, but thankfully remained in place.
He was so much taller than I was, towering over me so much that it left me in shadows as his frame blocked the low light overhead. The expensive suit he wore looked as though it barely contained his wide shoulders, the material straining over his muscles as he moved.
And his eyes were burning my skin as he blatantly stared at me. I froze in place and goosebumps spread over my skin.
He was excruciatingly slow to take the drink and remove his hand from mine.
"I'm Aleksander. It's a great pleasure to meet you, Rhea", His sultry Russian voice danced through my senses and at the end my face flushed. "I saw your show tonight. It was wonderful", My eyes widened at that.
"Oh, thank you." A soft laugh slipped through my lips before l could stop myself.
"Is something funny?", One of his dark brows lifted, and his face appeared so harsh. That instantly made me to freeze in my outfit.
"Sorry, I just didn't expect you to have seen the show", Forcing my body to move, I settled back onto the couch.
Without missing a second, Aleksander sat beside me. Despite the alcohol, I was suddenly sorely aware of my surroundings and the tension between us.
"I don't look like a man who goes to the ballet?", He questioned, and his accent got thicker. It gave me the impression he might have grown up in Russia.
"At first glance I would say no," I admitted with a light shrug.
"And you're the expert!!" He chuckled. The sound surprised me so much and I answered easily.
"Ballet is my life," I breathed, suddenly warm under his intense gaze. Now that we were closer, I could clearly see his dark eyes were a light shade of brown with green flecks swirling near the pupil.
"Well, you'd be right . Tonight, was my first time. With the way you perform it's a shame I missed the first half of the show", It was a simple statement, and yet the way he said it made me blush. His first time at a ballet and within hours of seeing me on stage , he paid for a night with me.
I angled my face and took a steadying breath but the glass clicking on the coffee table soon caught my attention. From the corner of my eye, I saw Aleksander setting the cocktail down and something like resolve fell over his features. "Thank you for coming to the show," I attempted to keep the conversation going. Although this was always the worst part. Trying to make small talk when we both know how the night was going to go.
"Thank you , Rhea , for agreeing to meet me tonight." His voice got impossibly deeper.
"Of course," I murmured. " had to", l added cutly with my eyes on my hands in my lap. The silence stretched for the next couple of minutes but I could feel him staring at me, making the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. It was too quiet around us.
"Can I kiss you?", God, his voice was so deep, so warm , like whiskey on the tip of my tongue. Hearing him ask made something flutter in my belly. This was my first time to meet a gentleman. "Yes," My voice came out as barely more than a whisper. A second later his fingers danced across my check , as light as air. I inhaled sharply at the warmth of his touch.
My body knew what to do in this situation. I began tilting my face to meet his but stilled when his lips met my cheek.
Aleksander's lips were soft, and I closed my eyes. This never happened before, but I was warming up to him . My heart skipped a beat when he moved to kiss the corner of my lips. That contact pulled me in despite my nerves. When his mouth slanted over mine, I fell into the kiss. It was slow at first but quickly turned demanding.
Before I knew what was happening, our mouths parted, and his tongue was against mine then I felt his hands on my thigh and his body moving in closer. He smelled like fancy cologne and hint of smoke. It was something I normally hated but I didn't mind right now. His kiss became rough , and I could only imagine him devouring me with the way his lips moved.
He was a skilled kisser, and I allowed myself the freedom to enjoy it.
"Can I touch you ?", He pulled away , chest moving rapidly as he drew in breath. I opened my eyes to meet his gaze, and the desire that met me made something curl low and hot in my stomach like a burning coil coming to life.
"You can do anything you want. You paid for me".
At my words, his powerful body immediately surged forward and my breath rushed out of me when my back hit the couch. Every inch of him was warm as it covered me, weighing me down and exploring me. His hands were powerful, and he roamed them over my sweater dress as he claimed my mouth.
"I had to have you," He whispered hotly against my neck and his tongue darted out to lick the sensitive skin there.
"The moment I saw you , I knew I was going to have you."
When his hand stopped roaming my sides and landed on my breast , a moan slipped past my lips. This never happened at the meetings. I never enjoyed them but here l was feeling like l was in heaven. His palm on my breast was soft as he touched me, yet I could feel now just how much he was restraining himself. There was a slight tremor with in him as he held back."Do you want to go to the bedroom?", My mouth asked, and I felt like I was going on autopilot. Perhaps it was my exhaustion,or the small amount of alcohol in my system. But I knew those things mixed with Aleksander's dark allure were dangerous. His touch was winning my body over ."Fuck yes," He growled. I froze, but in the next instant he lifted me up from the couch and rose to his feet. His quick speed and calm strength impressed me. A bright blush spread across my cheeks and I wondered if he could see my resemblance to a tomato. He carried me into the bedroom where nothing but the New York City lights streamed into a darkene
My body flushed with molten lava as l felt him thrust in my pussy. He grounded against me with each roll of his hips, making sure I felt every inch of him that was claiming me. It was so deep. So intense and the pleasure between us as he moved with a building expertise made me come undone."Oh....oh! God!", I trembled as if struck by lightning when a powerful orgasm pushed me over the edge of a cliff and I fell head over heels into the heavens with an explosion of pleasure. "Yes, good girl," he assailed me with praise as I shuddered and rode out the waves of my climax still rolling through me. He kissed up the side of my neck and along my chin while slowly fucking me.All I could I focus on was my sensitive core and the aftershocks of my organ as Aleksander continued drilling into me. It felt like an eternity as he kept thrusting, kissing and touching me but he finally sped up, jerking his hips and tightening his hold on me. After some minutes he finally grunted with his own release.
I stiffened remembering it was Nikolai's contact who had connected me to Rhea that night. Ofcourse, he would remember. Clearing my throat, I clasped my hands over the desk."It just came to mind," I shrugged the topic off."How was that, by the way? The Ballerina? She danced like nobody's business,but I bet she was good on her back too. Worth the money you forked out to get her?" My first clenched when l heard his words. Although this wasn't an unusual conversation, I came from an openly promiscuous family where we didn't keep our loves lives hidden; I didn't want to hear my uncle talking about Rhea.It was ridiculous. I barely knew her. Yet my jaw clenched painfully as I glared across my desk."Yes. Worth it", l responded lastly. "Great to hear!" He clapped his hands. "Don't go around spending that kind of money each time you need a lay, though. Plenty of women will give you that for free, Aleksander. You're a good looking man, and I see how the little slice out side looks at you", H
"Oh, Mr Makalov. That magazine company wants to know if you want any copies of the issue that they featured you in. They called earlier to see if you were interested since it went out this morning", Harriet hovered in the doorway. "No, I don't really care. My uncle will buy one if he wants to use it to make fun of me that badly," I answered without looking up at her. I was focusing instead on the two massive monitor screens on my desk."You're right. So funny, Mr Makalov", She let loose an exagerrated laugh. I barely dipped my head in a nod in response to get her to leave. She huffed through her nose, but seconds later she vanished. Once the door to my office was shut and the haze in my head seemed to clear, I pushed myself to focus on work. If we had a new nightclub going up near the river, I had many people to contact to make sure it got underway.Unfortunately, I started thinking about the area again. It was close to the theater. The same one I would go to back with my aunt this we
"Very good seats," Annika mused as we settled down. She was happy but every single one of my nerves was on edge. The world was moving far too slow as we waited and waited for the performance to start. Nikolai and I had missed the first half of the show last time and my eyes were wide and ready to seek Rhea the moment she set foot on stage.All I could I think about was watching her fly over the stage. My fingers itched to pull another smoke from my front pocket, but then the lights were dimming, and the music was starting. The first act of swan lake was terrible, Rhea wasn't in at all. The entire thing was about some dumb prince, and the man prancing about the stage. It annoyed me to the point that l bounced my leg in my seat.The second act's first half was equally boring. More than anything. I was certain that prince Siegfried was a moron.Everything changed when the swan Queen was revealed. Odette, the great beauty, cursed to live as a swan by day.Rhea, the most beautiful woman I
RHEA'S POVThe lights were on. Light music was playing in the background of the room and on the small circular dinning table laid the largest bouquet I had ever seen in my life. The flowers were so massive that they nearly eclipsed the table they sat on. Of course this wasn't my first time to receive flowers. They are normal with my performances but this was entirely different. The flowers were show stopping."Ah! You are early again", That deeper voice that haunted me in my dark, secret moments this past week greeted me."Aleksander,' l whispered his name, accompanied by a slight shiver down my spine. When he stepped around the flowers into the light, l sucked in a breath.He was as handsome as I remembered him. Devastatingly so. This man was a heartbreaker and my heart was beating a mile a minute to see that it was him. This man with me again in his room I didn't enjoy coming to. "Do you like them?" He gestured to the flowers. "They are for me?" My hand fluttered as I covered my che
Before I could respond, his hand moved to the back of my head. I gasped when he curled his fist into my hair and jerked my head back but he swallowed that gasp with his own mouth. That heated kiss took me by surprise, and the ferocity of it stole the air from my lungs. It aided in inflaming the heat coiling in my belly and my knees trembled. My legs threatened to give out underneath me as Victor deepened the kiss, but his free arm wrapped around me.I allowed myself to melt against him. He seemed glad to support me, pulling me tight to his chest and his lips bruised mine. All the while his hand remained in the back of my hair, controlling my movement. I couldn't pull away if I wanted to. I didn't and d there was that heaty scent, a touch of expensive cologne and cigarettes. Why did I like the smell now?"I'm going to take my time with you tonight," He promised, pulling away a fraction, so I felt his breath fanning my face, but my eyes were hazy, and I struggled to focus on his face. "
I stopped breathing. What i saw was insanely intimate and almost horrifyingly embarrassing. Aleksander had his face buried between my thighs,right against my pussy and he was gazing with wide eyes at what he was doing to me watching his hands pleasure me. The open mouthed smile I could see on his face was insanely lewd.It was erotic. And paired with those skilled fingers circling my clit and then the ones he pushed inside me. I was writhing and crying out on the matress in minutes. My first orgasm of the night was slow and spread over me in gentle waves . It left me panting all the same.The devilish man watched himself pleasure me under the light. This felt like the filthiest thing a man had ever done to me.Yet Aleksander wasn't finished with me.Before my light shaking had subsided, his mouth was covering my core . His tongue flicked over my clit and moans bubbled past my lips. My bundle of nerves was so sensitive, and he flattened his tongue to move it hard and slow over me. He w
