“Eva…” Alek began.
“Maybe I like it—” I stepped forward and ran my hands along the nape of his neck, fingers brushing against the edges of his tattoos. “—when it’s with you.”
And then I pulled his large, tense body to me and ran my hands along his shoulders before gripping the back of his neck and bringing his lips down to mine.
He was so tall that even on pointe shoes, I had to stretch to reach him, my toes beginning to feel that familiar burn I got whenever I went up on relevé. But any pain was worth it to taste him again, to smell his expensive musk invading my nostrils while his muscles flexed beneath my touch.
Alek wasted no time taking control of our kiss, wrapping one arm around me before taking control of our kiss, his tongue dominating and caressing mine until all I could do was relax into his hold and let him lead me into darkness. My breathwhooshedout of my lungs until all I could inhale was him.
More. More. More,something inside of me yearned.
Alek seemed to know what I wanted, his hands traveling down my body until they landed on my ass, picking me off the ground. My legs wrapped around his waist, and my fingers tangled into his hair.
I felt myself sinking into him, my nerves relaxing more the longer we were back together. Things between us came naturally, and though a voice in the back of my head insisted that this was probably considered too quick and that Jules would be furious, I couldn’t bring myself to care, too drunk off the electrifying feeling in the air, the same one that settled in between my legs.
He pressed himself perfectly against my lower body, eliciting a breathy gasp that I hadnevermade before. I couldn't help but arch into him, my hips seeking the contact again. He eagerly complied, thrusting into me, his strong body still managing to hold me steady.
Alek’s lips chose that moment to break their contact, trailing themselves down my neck until they reached a sensitive spot that had sparks traveling up and down my body, the place wheremy neck met my collarbone. I moaned when he bit down on it, the pain making my head dizzy.
Was I crazy?
“You have a birthmark here,” Alek mumbled in between kisses. "It's so light I hardly noticed it at first. Where else do you have birthmarks, solnyshka?"
“I guess you’ll have to find out.”
Did that just come out of me?
Oh God. It did. And I somehow found myself wanting to say alotmore to him. It was like the lust-filled haze he put me in brought out something I didn't know existed. Someone alluring and brave, someone completely focused onhim.
Alek smiled against my neck. “I will.”
His breath was warm against my skin. His hands kneaded my ass while I ground into him, my body still wanting more. The theater felt impossibly large and impossibly small all at once, the vast darkness around us pressing in as if reminding us that we were alone.
“God, I can’t wait to see you up here.”
“You’re going to come to the show?”
He pulled away, brows furrowing. “Of course, I am. This theater is mine. The dancers are mine.Youare mine now, Evangeline. Do you not want me to?”
“Yes!” I said far too quickly before blushing. “I just wasn’t sure if you wanted to watch ballet or not. I know some people can find it boring and I?—”
But Alek cut me off with a soft kiss. “In all honesty, Idon’twant to watch the ballet. I want to watch you.”
“Why don’t you come for a private performance then?”
As soon as the words left my lips, I realized I’d said something very wrong. Or perhaps very right…
Alek’s hands tightened on my body, and I felt something hard form between us, pushing into the tender part of me that was begging for more.
Oh,I thought, eyes widening when I realized what it was.Oh.
I always thought porn stars had unrealistic cocks, that they were exaggerated, maybe even prosthetics.
I was clearly very wrong.
Alek’s eyes darkened into twin pits of nights. When he spoke, his voice was gravelly, the sound of it sending bursts of heat to my core. “A private performance?”
The words settled low in my stomach, heavy and electric. “Yeah,” I said softly. “No other dancers. No audience. Just you and me.”
