“You fell asleep. We are here.”

It takes me a moment to orient myself. Right, Viktor was driving us to his place. He chuckles. I would love to slap him from here to Sunday. He pulls up to a place with gates. The gates open. I’m facing a beautiful mansion. It’s grandiose. He parks. He gets out of the SUV and walks over to my door and opens it. He holds out his hand for me to take. I push it away and exit the SUV. He opens the door to the mansion and leads us in.

“Would you like a drink?”

“I want to go home. I have to be at work in the morning and I am tired.”

He continues to walk. I guess expecting me to follow. He thinks he rules the world. But he is wrong. He can’t rule me. I know his family controls the city. But he can’t control me. I am not scared of him or his last name. He bleeds just like everyone else. He opens a door. It’s a bedroom.

“Umm, what do you think I am going to do? I am not sleeping with you.”

“I never asked you to sleep with me.” He walks deeper into the bedroom. “The door to the right is the bathroom. You should be able to find everything you need.”

“I am not staying here. Take me home or tell me where I am so I can take myself home.” I demand.

“We are about twenty-five minutes from the city. I want to talk to you about my proposition but you aren’t in any condition. I expect your full attention and you are tired.”

“I don’t need shit from you.” I stand in front of him. I should have known better. Men like Viktor take without permission.

“Baby girl.”

He holds my head and crushes my lips. There isn’t time to react. His lips leave mine long enough to let air into my lungs. In one scoop he grabs me by my ass. Instinctively I wrap my legs around his waist. My body is a traitor. He walks until my back is against a wall. His lips make their way to my neck. I feel the heat and wetness between my legs. I want to feel him inside of me. His lips continue roaming like I belong to him. He pulls away from the wall. He is walking towards the bed, there is such a delay between my brain and body I don’t react. Next thing I know, I am in bed with him hovering over me.

He continues to kiss me. Whether I am following his lead, or he is following mine, I can’t tell. My shirt is off leaving me in my bra. His lips leave mine once again. I feel an instant loss. He kisses each breast over my bra, continues down to my stomach, and stops at the edge of my leggings. His eyes meet mine. Perhaps asking permission whether he should continue. I don’t say anything. I’m too drunk with seduction. I let him lead my body. It’s obvious he knows what he is doing. His touch is like nothing I’ve ever felt. With the leggings off, he sees more of me. I’ve only been with one man. Nathan. He has never made me feel this aroused.

“Viktor, please.” I moan.

He stops. “What do you want? Your desire is my command.”

“I can’t. Please.”

“Are you a virgin?” He sits up and pulls me with him so I’m at eye level.

“Of course not.” He stares a long time. unsure if I am telling the truth.

“All you have to do is say no and I’ll stop.”

“I don’t know. I’ve never done anything like this. I’ve only been with Nathan.” I confess. He stares. He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. “I am sorry.” I add.

His eyes open, hungry for more. He sits back. However, what he does next is unexpected. He gently pulls me to his lap and kisses me. It’s almost sweet. The kind of kiss your boyfriend gives you. He is so confusing. He sets me down on the bed and gets off.

“It’s getting late. You need to rest. We will talk in the morning.” He kisses my forehead.

“I can’t stay here.”

“I’ll see you in the morning. Get some rest.”

“Viktor,” I start.

“Good night, Ava.”

What the fuck just happened? I’m sitting in bed shocked by the turn of events. I’m annoyed. I’m not sure if it’s because he stopped, or I let things get this far. Why did I get into his SUV? I must be losing my mind. I broke up with Nathan less than twelve hours ago. Dad owes Viktor one hundred thousand dollars. Why am I here?

Chapter Nine

Viktor

What the fuck am I thinking? I need a drink to gather my thoughts. Why did I bring Ava here? I had all the intentions to go to the bachelor apartment where I take all my conquests. I never bring women here. This house is sacred. But she will be moving here once everything is settled with the arrangement. There is no need to question myself. I pour myself a generous drink and walk to the sitting room. I can’t stop picturing her. I could have claimed her just now. Her body is screaming for me. I still smell her sex. I didn’t have to touch her to know she was soaked for me. What is it about her? I drain my drink. I need to stop thinking of her. She is nothing but a means to an end.
