I felt my face heating as I blushed and was glad for the softer light. His choice of pet said a lot about the way he saw himself. I found it interesting. Taking hold of his hands, I felt a tingling move up my spine. “Aleksandr,” I said wanting toprotest but stopped. His thumbs moved gently over my hands as he stared into my eyes.

Feeling my resistance crumbling, I assured myself I would do this to lower his guard. If I wanted to get inside his head, I would have to give him something in return. So, instead of fighting him, I smiled and took my hands away.

Aleksandr’s hands moved quickly to my hips. He grabbed me tightly and lifted me to the table. Moving slower, he came to sit between my legs, his hands on my hips. Staring into his golden eyes, I sensed a fluttering in my stomach. I assured myself that I was doing this to gain his trust as I placed my hands on the table behind me and laid my head back.

I felt him gently drawing a trail up my calves with his fingers. He kissed the inside of each knee. I held back the gasp. It’s been a long time since I’d been touched. My body wanted it, but I had to keep my emotions from taking control.

He sat back and slipped off my shoes. Picking up one leg, he started at my toes, Aleksandr covered my legs in tender kisses. Up the one to my knee and then the other. I breathed in and out softly and slowly, controlling my emotions.

His fingers slowly caressed my legs as he shifted forward. I felt them moving in under my dress. My senses lit up as a soft, tingling sensation vibrated through me. Reaching my hips, I felt his hands moving around to my ass. Taking a firm hold, he pulled me closer to the end of the table.

My arms were stretched out behind me, and soon, I would either have to adjust them or lie back. Glancing at him, I noticed a mischievous look on his face. “Don’t worry, dear, just enjoy,” he breathed out. He had a deep, penetrating stare as his hands moved over my panties.

I wanted to tell him to stop, but I was frozen. His fingers moved up and down the center of my panties. I had lost control of my body as my insides quivered. I couldn’t even open my mouth to speak.

His hands moved to my hips again, but this time, he took hold of my panties. Slowly, Aleksandr pulled them down to my knees. He leaned back and continued with them down my legs and off over my feet. He crumpled them up and put them in his jacket pocket.

Moving back between my legs, his hands glided over my thighs. I watched as he flipped the front of my dress to the side. For a moment, he just sat staring at my exposed pussy. He placed two fingers in his mouth, wetting them.

Staring at my face, he brought them forward and tenderly pushed them into my pussy. I let out a soft moan, lifting my face to the ceiling. Aleksandr stood up as his fingers moved in and out tenderly.

I felt my back arching as my senses lit up with pleasure. Aleksandr slipped his other arm around my middle. Pulling me up towards him as his fingers drove deeper into me. Another moan escaped my lips, but this time, it was louder. My body appeared to have a mind of its own as my arms went up. I grabbed hold of his muscular arms, leaning my head back.

“That’s it,” he whispered. “Relax, Mila,” Aleksandr added, lowering me to the table. He kissed my neck and moved down to my cleavage. My breathing was ragged as his warm lips kissed my stomach and moved back up to my breasts.

His fingers were still moving in and out slowly as I felt him gently tugging at the top of my dress. As the bodice slipped lower, exposing my breasts, I gasped, feeling the cool airpricking my nipples. Suddenly there was a moist heat over one as Aleksandr sucked my nipple into his mouth.

My body arched as all my senses came to life. My hands moved to his head as my fingers found their way into his hair. I couldn’t contain my own movements. My body wanted him. As he made his way across my chest to my other breast, my moans became louder.

I was shuddering under his touch. Aleksandr placed his hand tenderly over my mouth as his thumb found its way to my clitoris. He gave two quick strokes, then pulled his fingers out. Kissing my neck, he whispered to me. “Shh, dear, be quiet.”

Sitting back down, he lifted my legs to the table. I felt his head moving in between my legs, as he licked my pussy my body heated up with desire. I shook my head biting my lower lip. He re-inserted his fingers, moving them at a quicker pace.

His thumb found my clitoris again as he moved in and out. Lifting my ass from the table, I felt his tender kisses on the inside of my thighs. Shaking my head from side to side, I felt my body releasing, and I came over his hand.

Breathing out hard, I felt him get up. Opening my eyes, I saw him standing between my legs. He was smiling down at me. Aleksandr moved to the side and headed to the booth opening.

I watched him as he left the booth. Glancing at the curtain as it closed behind him, I felt frustrated. How dare he leave me like this. Getting off the table, I straightened my dress and sat down. I poured myself another glass and took a big gulp.

Why was my body betraying me? Why did I enjoy it so much? Anger rose in me as I muddled over what had just happened. I enjoyed it more than I expected and wanted more. My mind and body were fighting a raging war. I dared not give in to my emotions, I had to keep it logical.

After finishing my glass, I went to find him. I was ready to go home. Aleksandr was in the kitchen, complementing the workers as I entered. He glanced at me and nodded. “Ready to go?” he asked, pulling me into his arms and kissing my forehead.

I nodded but didn’t speak. We greeted the staff and left. The entire drive home, my mind was preoccupied. I felt confused and angry at myself. I had to get a grip on the wave of emotions and thoughts rolling through me.

At home, I went up to our room without a word. I hoped that a good night’s rest would resolve what was happening inside of me.

Chapter 11 - Aleksandr

I stood looking through the window at the fountains and part of the front yard I could see from my office. I was still battling to wrap my mind around the fact that I had backed off. I could have had sex with Mila last night.

She was ready, of that I felt sure. But I wanted all of her, not only sex. I needed to win over her heart. I desired her love, to be everything she could want. It wouldn’t be easy, but I felt confident that I would be able to turn her in time.

Picking up my briefcase, I headed out of my office. Pulling the door shut, I listened for the lock. As I walked towards the stairs, my mind played with the idea of Mila being with someone else. “No,” I said, stomping my foot. My blood felt like it was boiling. I couldn’t allow that to ever happen. She was mine.

I walked to the bedroom door and peeked in, Mila still sleeping. I had to use everything I had to ensure she fell in love with me. I had to be the one to fill her precious heart. Winning her was the most important thing in my life.

Checking my watch, I noticed it was almost time for the meeting. Quietly, I closed the door and headed out. Mila would be furious if she knew I was meeting with her siblings and didn’t take her along. I knew she longed to see them.
