“Okay.”
Before I could say anything else, a white Hummer pulled to a stop in front of the limo, and Ruslan strode forward, opening the rear passenger door. I got inside. Ruslan closed the door behind me, then stood just outside for the next ten minutes talking to the men. How stupid did he think I was? Clearly something had happened while we were schmoozing. I lowered the window.
“Shouldn’t you call the cops?”
Ruslan and all three men turned to stare at me with blank expressions. “What? Why?” he finally asked.
“Why? Because someone did something to your car, and you’re so worried about it we’re taking another vehicle to leave, and you’re having a big meeting here with your pals.”
“Oh, no,” he said, then smiled at me. “I’m ready. Sorry to keep you waiting.”
The men glanced away from me, and I raised the window again as the door opened. Ruslan settled in at my side and one of the men who’d been talking with him closed his door. “Are you certain that you’re okay staying in my apartment here in the city?”
His cologne filled the car and I dragged in a deep whiff. My heart thudded and I cleared my throat. “Uh, yeah. Are you sure everything is all right?”
His smile softened and he rubbed his thumb over the back of my hand where I’d had it resting between us. “You don’t have to worry when you’re with me. I promise.”
Yeah, that didn’t answer my questionat all, but he slid over and I nearly melted on the spot when he pressed a kiss to my cheek. The car started to move as I turned my head. He stared into my eyes and all the warm tingles in the world settled into my stomach.
“Ruslan, I don’t think it’s smart to mix work with personal stuff, so don’t make me regret this.” I lightly brushed my lips to his.

RUSLAN
Asa’s mouth was soft and his kiss gentle. He sucked on my bottom lip hesitantly, eyes screwed shut as though expecting me to shove him away, something I would never dream of because he tasted like sunshine. As the moments danced by, he gained more confidence. He slid closer, fingers tickling my thigh, and his tongue nudged my lips, asking permission.
If it were my choice, I would throw him on the seat and fuck him into oblivion, but as much as it pained me, I went at his speed. Calm. Slow.Too fucking slow. But this was me showing restraint and letting him know he could trust me. I didn’t want to scare him off before we had a chance to explore this.
He broke contact and licked his lips, as though chasing my flavor, and I grinned at him. “Well? You weren’t exactly an active... participant.”
“You want me to be honest?” I shifted a little closer to him and curled my arm around his shoulders. “I’m terrified that if I let myself go, I’ll devour you.”
“Devour me?” He laughed, cheeks flushing bright red. “Am I food to be eaten?”
I waggled my brows. “Depends on if you like to beeaten.”
His eyes widened and he let out a weird sound that was halfway between a laugh and choking. He swallowed, Adam’s apple jumping, and laid his hand over his crotch. The gesture was like a map leading me to the treasure because my gaze went straight there, taking in the hard bulge of his cock fighting against the tight suit pants.
“Well, what do we have here?” I leaned back so he could see mine—in the exact same position as his—and grinned. “It seems we have abigproblem.”
“I can help both of us.” He cocked his head and a mischievous expression passed over his handsome face. All I had to do was grin in answer, and he was leaning forward, fingers at the zipper of my pants. He glanced up at me to double-check, and I nodded, giving him all the permission he needed to yank down the zipper and reach inside, pulling me out through the hole in my briefs for his visual appreciation.
He paused to stare at my cock and his mouth dropped open in a small gasp that made pride pop in my chest. I wasn’t huge, at around seven and a half inches, but I was wide and thicker at the head.
Asa spat on his hand and wrapped it around the base of my cock. The instant warmth and pressure of his palm had me sitting back against the leather seat and sighing in pleasure as he began to slowly jerk me off.
“Fuck.” I sucked in a breath and clenched my eyes, reveling in the feel of him holding me. I’d thought about this too many times. Never in a car, but I could work with what I had.
“Like that?” Boldness seeped into his voice, and he smoothed his hand along my thigh, grinning up at me. Before I could answer, he took the tip into his mouth, suckling on the head with his tongue flicking over my slit.
A shudder slid through my body, along with flashes of lust that had me arching my back. I restrained the urge to fuck into the suction of his mouth because once I started, nothing would stop me. I would let go and he would know exactly the type of man he had chasing after him.
No, not a man.
An animal.
He made the most delicious sounds I’d ever heard, like someone who’d gotten his hands on his favorite dessert, and the difficulty of holding myself back began to grow. My entire body was on fire, the tension increasing.
