It’s as if I unleashed a tiger and he is striking hard. There will be nothing left of me when we reach our destination.
He is claiming his territory and I’m the idiot letting him because I’m in no doubt I want this more than he does.
The car jerks and his hold tightens on me and it’s almost painful as he grasps my hair and pulls down sharply, exposing my neck to his angry attention.
As his fingers work their magic, I am blinded by mounting excitement and as I climb that hill to Nirvana, I balance on the edge, knowing one push will send me over the edge.
Suddenly, he pulls back and stares deep into my eyes and my breath hitches at the dark desire reflected back at me.
With one sweep of his thumb on my clit, I am falling and as I come apart on his hand, I drown in his eyes. He holds me captive in every way and demands ownership of my orgasm as if it’s his to enjoy.
I shatter at his hands and my moans of desire fill the car, probably entertaining the driver, but I couldn’t care less. I am floating on a feather cloud in a warm sunlit sky as I float to earth, every single muscle in my body relaxed and like jelly.
It’s intense and so unexpected it causes the tears to cascade down my face and only when the last gasp leaves my body does he leans in and whisper, “One million dollars, Ellie. I would have paid double just to watch you come under my hand. You are beautiful and worth every cent of that, and I have one word of warning for you.”
“What?” I gasp because my entire body is still shaking and he whimpers darkly, “You just sold yourself to me and one date will never be enough. I am claiming every date in your calendar and there is nothing you can do about it because now, my darling malysh, you belong to me.”
CHAPTER 34
ARMAN
Relief mixed with anger and caused an explosion even I didn’t see coming.
When I saw Ellie standing on that stage, it was a moment I will never forget.
It was the moment I knew she was mine.
My woman. Mine to protect and mine to capture.
She will never walk away from me again because I will give her no reason to.
I treated her like a common whore and deserve to pay one million dollars for my mistake. She should be made to feel like my queen, which is at odds with how I am treating her now.
I lost control.
I never lose control.
I couldn’t wait and I couldn’t bear the fact my lips weren’t on hers.
Despite the mystery that is occupying nearly all my time, it brought us together and if she believes that when it’s solved, it signifies the end of this, she is badly mistaken.
We reach the penthouse and I pull away, loving the flush on her face and her tousled hair that was so impeccable one hour ago.
I reach down and lift her torn panties from the floor and with a wicked grin, I pocket them.
She is breathing hard and I pull her dress down, covering her bare pussy and as the door opens, I reach for her hand and tangle our fingers together as I pull her from the car.
We leave my men to organize the shit and as we walk silently through my penthouse, I lead her to the roof terrace.
She is nervous. Her breathing betrays that and as we reach the dark skyline, I guide her across to the edge. She shivers beside me and I remove my jacket and drape it across her trembling body and wrap my arm around her shoulder, pulling her close to my side.
“Look at those lights, Ellie.”
My voice is husky, and she replies with a matching tone.
“It’s beautiful.”
I grip her chin and force her to look up at me and whisper, “You are more beautiful. I just want you to know that.”
