“It’s a strong possibility.”
“Do we have eyes on Olsen?”
“Not yet. Last report had him back in Seattle.”
“I can call him,” Vasilisa says suddenly.
“Thehellyou will,”I snap, jealousy flaring hot in my throat.
She meets my gaze, calm but insistent. “Hecan’tbe in Seattle,” she says quietly, glancing between Luca and me. “Hehasto be here for his father’s banquet.”
“We can send men to crash it, but you’re not being used as bait.”
“Why not?” she challenges, her chin tilting defiantly. My breath hitches at the fire in her eyes—strong, unrelenting. Inspiring. Infuriating. Irresistible.
“Because it’s dangerous,” I grit out, forcing my voice to stay even. “You’re too valuable to risk.”
Her brows pull together. “But Mimi—”
“Mimi is safe,” Luca interjects. “Andras has twenty-four-hour surveillance, and Santo has men there.”
She regards Luca for a moment, then turns to me, her eyes searching mine.Pleading.
“She’ll be safe?”
“Of course,” I soothe, wrapping my arms around her as she presses into me, laying her head on my shoulder. I glance at Luca, giving him a grateful nod.
“If any more audio is deciphered, send it over immediately,” I order, dismissing him.
Once we are alone, I press a soft kiss on Vasilisa’s forehead, then her nose before brushing her lips with mine. Her body melts into mine - a testament of trust that fills me with an inexplicable sense of contentment.
Her body’s warmth against mine reminds me of our unfinished business. My voice is a low command: “Hop on the desk.”
She pulls back slightly, brows knitting together—then they lift, excitement flickering in her gaze. “My turn?”
“Hell yes,” I drawl as she perches on to the desk, her legs bare, her skirt barely covering her thighs. I push my chair closer and pull her legs over my shoulders
As her legs part, my gaze sharpens. “Bareagain, Dea?”
She blushes and nods. I push her skirt up as I kiss up her thighs, sucking as I go, leaving a trail of love bites on her fair skin. She gasps, her fingers digging into my shoulders as I drag a slow touch up the inside of her thigh.
“Santo...” she breathes as I continue my ministrations, my hands dancing over her bare skin. Her body squirms under my touch, sending ripples of pleasure coursing through me.
I tease her mercilessly, going slow and taking my time, drinking in every moan and shiver that escapes from her parted lips. Her body trembles with anticipation, and I can feel the heat radiating off her, making me lose all sense of time and space. I circle her clit with my tongue as I slide a finger inside her. She moans, her body trembling. Another flick of my tongue makes her whimper, and I drink in the taste of her, branding it to memory. Her hips buck against my face, urging me deeper. I take the hint and add another finger, stretching her deliciously as I continue to lap at her clit. With every thrust of my fingers and flick of my tongue, she moans louder, sounds of pure pleasure that send shivers down my spine.
Her thighs tighten around my shoulders, her body trembling—so close. But I don’t let her fall just yet. Instead, I slow, teasing her with the barest movements, waiting for the inevitable sound I crave.
“Santo...please,” she begs, her voice rough, needy.
I look up at her from between her thighs, our eyes meeting. “Tell meexactlywhat you want, Dea,”I murmur against her skin, knowing very well what she craves, but wanting to hear it from her lips.
“I want... I want you...” she pants out as she reaches for me, fingers threading through my hair. I plunge two fingers back into her depths while circling her clit with my tongue.
Her body tenses up instantly as an orgasm takes hold of her. She cries out my name in a strangled moan as waves of pleasure ripple through her body.
I slow down my pace, drawing out her ecstasy for as long as possible. As she comes down from her high, I continue to lick her gently – soothing and caressing until I am sure every tremor has subsided. Her scent intoxicates me, her taste driving me further. I stand, letting her legs fall, and I unbutton my pants, pulling both my pants and underwear down to release my cock, now hard again from watching her climax. I rub the head of my cock from her clit to her entrance, her eyes flash with excitement.
“Yes,” she breathes putting her feet up on the desks edge, she’s beautifully spread for me.
