Alone in your bed.

It will be better with me, sweetheart.

“But what can I do? Take notes or…?”

“Just come with me.” I shrugged. “Assist me.”

“In looking at a building?”

I nodded, gesturing for her to exit the office.

She didn’t speak on the way uptown, but that was fine. Silence and giving her space was all part of wearing her down. Brute force wasn’t going to get her submissive and underneath me. Restraining from pursuing her would add to her frustration and she’d have to snap sooner or later.

On the drive, I took calls from Oleg and a couple of other men. The driver didn’t speak up either, but he glanced at her more than once, which pissed me off.

She’s mine, asshole.

Shewillbe mine.

A realtor’s assistant met us at the office space, but the young man didn’t linger. Left to check out the property, I strolled through the empty space with Sofia trailing behind me or at my side.

Since this was for a legitimate investment consultation business, nothing tied to anything illegal, I wasn’t concerned about talking with her about the hiring process and other details about the business. She listened and asked some questions when I mentioned a few celebrities were already interested in becoming clients. Politicians, too.

I couldn’t be sure if she was lowering her guard around me by being out of my home and my office, but I felt like taking a chance to see how she might react.

As we turned a corner and entered a huge office with a wall of windows letting in the sunshine, I followed behind her as she approached the glass to appreciate the perspective.

“What a view,” she said with a small smile.

“I prefer this one,” I said, turning her so her back was pressed to the surface as I caged her in.

Stealing kisses from her was our “thing”. But I was getting tired of the intermittent hits of desire that built on top of each other. Each time, she’d cave and respond, kissing me back. Until common sense would return and she’d dodge me, calling meMr. Orlovagain.

Cupping her chin to tip her face up to mine, I drew in a ragged breath and wanted to devour her.

“I much prefer the view with you in it.”

She shivered as I stroked my thumb over her chin. A shaky exhale eased from her plump lips. In her eyes, pure desire heated the soft brown I could sink in until the end of time.

“Gorgeous,” I whispered before kissing her.

Deliberately keeping it light, I brushed my mouth over hers and relished the sound of her quiet whimper. Of need. Of reluctance.

When she wrapped her arms around me and pulled me closer, I pulled back to tease her with only these little touches. I stood firm not to dive my tongue in for a taste and let her swallow my growls.

“Andre…” she breathed, lifting her leg to set her foot against the glass. It parted her more open for me, but still, I held back from grinding against her.

I wanted her to want me, dammit. Not take whatever was convenient.

“There’s only one thing that would make this ‘view’ better.” I kissed along her neck, nuzzling her at that sweet, sensitive spot below her ear.

“What’s that?” she whispered, hugging me closer.

“If you stood here in front of me naked.” I nipped at her skin, eliciting a gasp.

“If you stripped for me and got my cock out so I could fuck you right here at the windows, for the whole city to see how much you love me stretching you open and filling you with my cum.”

“Andre.” She furrowed her brow, shaking her head.
