Before I could respond, his hand moved to the back of my head. I gasped when he curled his fist into my hair and jerked my head back but he swallowed that gasp with his own mouth. That heated kiss took me by surprise, and the ferocity of it stole the air from my lungs. It aided in inflaming the heat coiling in my belly and my knees trembled. My legs threatened to give out underneath me as Victor deepened the kiss, but his free arm wrapped around me.I allowed myself to melt against him. He seemed glad to support me, pulling me tight to his chest and his lips bruised mine. All the while his hand remained in the back of my hair, controlling my movement. I couldn't pull away if I wanted to. I didn't and d there was that heaty scent, a touch of expensive cologne and cigarettes. Why did I like the smell now?"I'm going to take my time with you tonight," He promised, pulling away a fraction, so I felt his breath fanning my face, but my eyes were hazy, and I struggled to focus on his face.

Midnight sex|ALEKSANDER'S POV|After taking the last drag of a cigarette, I threw it out and made my way back inside the hotel. The air was frigid at this time between the late night and early morning. I tightened the Lotte palace robe around my shoulders to beat back the chill that had attempted to sleep into my skin.I wanted to get back into bed with Rhea. I wanted her body to warm mine up,and I had to let her sleep long enough. My body was buzzing to have her again. Remembering how her beautiful face looked everytime she came had an extra pep to my step as I rushed to get back to the room.Our first night together, she had vanished in the night. My heart skipped a beat at the thought that she might slip away when am out for a smoke. I pushed open the door and rushed inside. Relief flooded my system to see her still tucked underneath the comforter where I left her. The blanket had slide partially down her body where she lay on her back.Her full, perky breasts exposed under soft l

For a moment, I didn't know what to say next. My mind was still reeling from the intense morning sex and finding her try to leave."Tell me what you want from room service and go to take a relaxing shower", I ran my hand through my hair, then I moved to the menu next to her on the counter. Her body froze when I got close next to her, and I noticed her eyes trail over my bare skin.Standing next to her, I could see the tint of pink on her cheeks and slow rise and fall of her chest as she gaped at me. With the menu in front of my face, I didn't think she realized I knew she was staring.It made my cock ache again, and I had to clench my jaw to focus on the food. "Here," I cleared my throat and handed it over.She took the room service menu, making sure her fingers didn't touch mine as she did. I openly frowned at that. Why was she acting that way?!"Bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast croissant with the mixed fruit on the side", She handed the menu back over and set her purse and coat back

If I didn't say yes, then this time next week I could be underneath some old man who would make my skin crawl. And I would very much rather be under Aleksander's body. The realization of that thought made me gnaw on my bottom lip and look away from him again. I felt too warm in my own skin around him."I'm serious, Rhea. I might not particularly like taking you in this way, but if this is what I must do to have you I'm going to do it. I just want to make sure you accept it.""Yes, Aleksander," I inhaled deeply. "I will agree to an exclusive contract with you. You will have to work around my schedule with the ballet, of course. That always comes first.""Aleksander's eyes lit up even though his face didn't flinch . There was something burning in that gaze and the way he gobbled me up with his eyes had shivers curl up my spine. A slow smile pulled at the corner of his mouth."I can work with that," He stood up from his seat and began to walk around the table. "I'll reach out to Dax and

"Have the nurses given you anything for cough? If not, I can go talk to them and get you something", l spoke concerned."No, darling, I'm alright. There is not much more they can do for me at this point." Papa tried to smile, but his point was emphasized by another bout of coughing, the kind of coughing you could tell was coming from deep within the lungs."Well, if they can't do anything maybe another hospital will be able to help you. I can keep looking if they aren't taking care of you here!" Panic rose from the tip of my toes to my scalp, racing like pinpricks up my skin as I looked over Papa's pale skin and sunken eyes."Rhea, no", My grandpa whispered and squeezed my hand weakly in his . "This is already the best hospital in Manhattan. They make as comfortable as they can, you know that. I'm lucky enough you were able to get me in here." His eyes were crystal clear today, no hint of the fog in his mind messing with his thoughts and memories.Those eyes held me in place as he sc
