“Come, Eva. Fucking come for me. Now.” I slammed into her once, twice more, finally receiving the reward of her rapture.Her face contorted almost into pain, but as she cried out and clenched around me, squeezing my shaft as I shot my cum into her, she relaxed into a spent smile of relief. Of bliss. Then she opened her eyes, blessing me with that soulful blue stare, a look of wonder.

“Fuck,” I muttered, too exhausted to think straight. Falling forward, I enveloped her into my arms before I rolled onto my back. Draped over me, she strained to catch her breath.

For a long while, I kept my eyes closed and willed myself not to get attached. The rosy, hazy glow of our orgasms prevented us from having the energy to move. Much less get up. But that was fine. That was okay with me—for now. I could handle this. But I refused to let myself hug her or caress her like I truly wanted to.

“Your phone’s ringing,” she said with her cheek still pressed to my chest. The position muffled her mouth, but just barely.

“Uh-huh.” I didn’t want to leave this moment with her. “Can you reach it?” I put my hands on her ass as she shifted to the side. I wanted to be greedy and prolong this perfect union. She twisted without letting me slip out, and with a stretch of her arm over the edge of the bed, she snagged my pants.

I got my phone out just in time before I’d miss the call from Rurik.

“Hello?”

“Lev. I’m still here at the clinic with Kelly.”

“Good. We need to know what happened to her.”

“Yes. But until we can form answers, I think we need to report this incident to the Boss.”

“If Kelly was drugged, it could’ve been intended for Eva.”

Eva furrowed her brow as she looked up, likely hearing her name. She rested her chin on her hands atop my chest.

I nodded, sighing as I stared into her blue eyes. “I agree. Or it could’ve been a diversion to make her worry about Kelly and get her away from the apartment.”

“Do you want me to call him?” he asked.

“No. I will. In fact, I’m late to reply to his message from earlier, anyway. Keep me updated.”

“Will do.”

As soon as we ended the call, I dialed Oleg.

“Shouldn’t I be…” Eva blushed, trying to get up and off me. I pushed her ass down to keep her on me. I wasn’t ready to let her up. Call me stupid, but I wanted to ensure all my cum stayed in her, where it belonged.

“Shh,” I warned her as her uncle answered. I checked in with him, rubbing my fingers over Eva’s ass. It was an absent-minded caress, an idle touch, but it relaxed her to the point where she laid her head back down on me, her cheek pressed over my heart.

Once I finished updating him on the details that we had of Kelly Garnet being drugged, he asked me for my opinion.

“Honestly, sir? I worry that this is the start of a setup.”

“From the Petrovs?” he asked.

“Yes. Or the Ilyins. They can’t be happy about how successful I was with my last assignment.” I was careful to word it loosely so Eva wouldn’t glean any details she didn’t need to have in her head.

“But if someone is trying anything directly against Eva, they won’t get far.”

Not on my watch.

Because it would be impossible for me to ever let someone harm this exquisite woman I didn’t want to give up—ever.

EVA

This time, I didn’t try to hide after having sex with Lev. The time I gave him my virginity was awkward because I’d been so shocked that I’d actually done it. That we’d met in the middle like that and exploded together in a rush of heat and desire.

He didn’t seem ready to let me go after we came together, though, and as I lay on him, getting sleepier and sleepier under the weight of his hand on my ass as he talked to Rurik and my uncle, I had to catch myself from sighing with deep contentedness.
