Now, in an empty hallway, Adrik was finally allowed to give her his attention. And he was not going to hold back.

Gil slapped Adrik's arm."What about it, bro?"

Adrik didn't break from her and vaguely said,"I have plans."

Gil followed Adrik's stern stare and realized what he was looking at. It pissed him off. He was losing the only brother who actually liked to party."No, you don't."

The doors opened, and with a hand on her back, Adrik pushed Jolie and turned to Gil and Alexei, "Get the next one."

"Don't," Alexei hissed, trying to stop the closing doors, but Adrik winked at him, a not-so-subtle 'fuck off.'

Gil growled and snapped his head to Alexei."He's out of control."

When the doors shut, Adrik held Jolie's waist, guiding her back against the wall. She panted heavily in anticipation, and he watched every expression on her face. Adrik kissed her harshly, haphazardly, and she met every twist of his lips. Her hands gripped his shoulders, diving into his hair and holding him close. She broke from him, slightly pushing back. "Adrik, anyone can come in."

Adrik grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head with one hand. "I don't care." This elevator was suited only to go all the way to the garage. No one could interrupt them. He kissed her neck and her naked collarbone. And then, what he thought about doing all night, he slipped her halter top down, releasing a breast into the air. His first sight of her nipple, and it was hard and ready for his mouth. She struggled, twisting, but it was all a show. She wanted it; there was no denying it. He licked her nipple once before taking her breast in his hand. It filled his palm like a water balloon, and his thumb rubbed over her hard nub.

"Stop," she whispered half-heartedly, trying to free her hands with little effort.

Adrik nuzzled her neck, and groaned, "I want you to have some ideas of what I'm gonna do to you."

The doors opened, and Adrik shifted only slightly to hide her. "It's my guards," he assured, but she still fought. He chuckled against her, squeezing her nipple with his thumb and forefinger. She gasped, pulling away while pushing into him. He adored her pathetic attempt at modesty, watching her face and all the desire that poured into it. "You fight, and yet you want it."

"Someone can see."

"No one can see," he said, leaning in, kissing her, his tongue finding hers, just as needy.

"Sir," a guard called from outside the elevator.

Adrik hated it. There was never enough time with her. He eased back, letting her go, and she quickly put her breast back in. He grinned, watching as she tried to fix her appearance, but she looked wrecked after one minute alone with him. He couldn't imagine an entire night. "I'm coming to your room tonight." He turned to leave.

"No."

His brows knitted, and he turned back to her. "No?" Adrik quickly approached, backing her up till she hit the wall. He gripped her thighs, lifting her up, and forced them around his waist as he pressed hard into her, forcing her to feel all he had to give her. "I've told you before—no one says no to me."

She struggled to speak, a wave of hunger caught in her throat. She had never been manhandled with such perfection. His lips teased her, and she closed her eyes, the nip on her skin sending shockwaves of desire through her. "I want to wait," she admitted, and even as the words came out of her mouth, she hated herself for it.

"Wait?" He ran his nose down her jaw and then stared at the top of her breasts as they heaved for air. "I've waited enough."

"Two weeks—"

"A month. I've wanted you from the first night I met you."

The confession filled her heart with warmth, and she kissed him crazily, digging her tongue into his mouth as if she could be inside him. With a dangerous growl, he thrusted against her hard before he yanked from her, dropping her to her feet clumsily.

He panted harshly and stepped back. "One week," he bargained.

"Three." Jolie adjusted her dress, keeping her back against the wall. Her legs were Jello, and she didn't trust herself to walk.

"Two," Adrik bit. "What is the point of this, exactly? Except to drive me insane?"

"I'm not gonna just get into bed with you. I was taught to wait till marriage."

Adrik sneered. "I thought you were a feminist. That rule only existed to keep women virgins because they were worth more pure."

"Sir—"

"Quiet! I know," Adrik spat, taking a step out of the elevator only to turn back to her. "Two weeks? That is what you want?"
