Page 26 of Shatter Me

“Dmitri, please?—”

He chuckles darkly, and I feel the thrum of it against me, sending lightning bolts of pleasure straight to my core.

“You’re so wet for me,kukolka. So responsive. I love how you taste.” His fingers tease and pump, matching the rhythm of his tongue.

His name falls from my lips repeatedly as he pushes me higher and higher. My fingers tighten in his hair, and my hips thrust against his mouth as he drives me wild. My breath comes in short gasps as he takes me right to the very brink, then backs off, denying me the release I’m begging for.

“Please...” My voice breaks as he continues his relentless torture. “I can’t take much more.”

“Yes, you can.” His voice is strained. “You can take everything I give you.”

His tongue swirls and flicks, his fingers pumping harder, faster. My walls clench around them, and I feel the coil in my belly tighten to the point of pain.

“Please.” I’m not sure what I’m begging for anymore. Still, he shows no mercy as he adds more pressure, his tongue relentless as it pushes me further and further until I shatter with a scream, my juices flowing over his fingers.

He laps at me, drinking every last drop of my release, before slowly climbing back up my body. I’m a boneless mass of sensation as he peppers kisses across my damp skin, a satisfied smirk curving his lips.

“There.” He nuzzles my neck, his breath warm against my skin. “That’s what surrender really means.”

My eyes drift shut as I try to process what just happened. My body feels like jelly, every nerve ending still buzzing with pleasure.

“Do you know how incredible you taste?” He nips my ear, making me jump. “Like the sweetest dessert.”

“Shut up.” My voice is weak and breathless, but I try to hide it with a scowl as I push him away. “Get off me.”

He chuckles but doesn’t move, his body still too close, his eyes burning into mine.

The intercom crackles to life, making me jump. “Security protocol lifted. All clear.”

Dmitri moves with fluid grace, stepping back and helping me off the crate in one smooth motion. I barely have time to straighten my dress before the heavy door slides open with a hydraulic hiss.

“Ms. Blackwood?” Officer Chen’s flashlight beam sweeps the room. “Everything okay in here?”

I clear my throat, praying my voice sounds steadier than I feel. “Fine. Just got caught during my final walk-through.”

My eyes drift to Dmitri as he subtly adjusts himself. The obvious bulge in his tailored pants makes heat flood my cheeks again. He shifts his jacket to better conceal the evidence of our encounter.

“Mr. Ivanov.” Chen nods respectfully. “Didn’t realize you were in the building, sir.”

“Board meeting ran late.” Dmitri’s voice betrays nothing of what just happened. “Fortunate timing, really. I was discussing the Petrov acquisition with Ms. Blackwood when the alarm sounded.”

I have to bite back a hysterical laugh. Is that what we’re calling it now?

“False alarm,” Chen explains. “New system’s still got some bugs to work out. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

“Not at all.” Dmitri smooths his tie. “Better safe than sorry.”

The fabric of my dress feels damp against my thighs as I follow them out. Dmitri walks slightly behind me, and I wonder if he’s using me to shield his current state of arousal from view.

DMITRI

Istop Tash before she can leave. “A moment in your office.” Not a request.

Her shoulders tense, but she follows me inside. I shut the door with a soft click.

“There’s no going back now.” I lean against her desk, watching the internal battle play across her face. “You know that, right?”
