Alexei, Her Russian Billionaire

Chapter 4

Maya enjoyed her evening. It was certainly a good way to round off the day she had had. The photo shoot had been tough and with the other models complaining and worrying that they were going to catch something off the two sick models, Maya had been close to snapping at them. They were acting like whining children and they had a job to do.

At least she had seen Alexei. The morning she had spent with him had been better than she expected. Even though he tried to hide the fact he was exhausted from all the walking, Alexei had been good company and hid his discomfort. Maya found herself relaxing around him, which was a novelty for her; being around men in that sort of situation resulted in her knocking their hands away whenever they tried to cop a feel. But Alexei didn’t do that. He kept himself a gentleman.

He was a gentleman at dinner as well and conversation with him was widely varied, from school to hobbies, from art to interests to anything at all that seemed complete nonsense. Maya liked those conversations where they weren’t focused solely on one thing or one person in particular.

The only blip in the evening was Jonny. Seeing him there had had Maya’s heart sinking. She didn’t want to be anywhere near him if he was going to act the way he had done in Central Park. And if Jonny did want to go out with her, Maya had no idea how he was going to react when he realized she was on a date with someone else.

But Alexei had taken it in his stride, virtually tossing Jonny out on his ear. He didn’t seem to outwardly appear to care about this but Maya could tell he was annoyed. His body was tense and it didn’t seem to relax much even when she reduced him to laughter.

Man, that guy had a nice laugh. It had Maya squeezing her thighs together as the blood went between her legs and started to throb.

Now they were walking back to Maya’s apartment. It was only two blocks and Maya didn’t want to finish the evening in a car. She wanted to have an excuse to hold on to Alexei a little longer. Alexei didn’t object when she suggested walking, telling his driver to meet him at Maya’s building. He had taken her hand and it had felt like the most natural thing in the world. Maya hadn’t felt so comfortable with a man in a long time.

But she could still feel the tension in his body as they walked. Maya had a feeling it was about Jonny. She nudged him as they walked along.

“Is there something bothering you?”

“Huh?” Alexei had been looking off into the distance. He started and looked down at her. “No. Why do you ask?”

“Because I can feel the tension.” Maya prodded his shoulder. “What’s wrong, Alexei?”

For a moment she thought she wouldn’t get an answer. Then Alexei sighed and stopped, turning to her.

“It’s with that model that came to our table.” He admitted. “I didn’t like that he was there.”

“Neither did I but we dealt with it.” Maya raised an eyebrow. “Are you jealous?”

“What if I am?”

Maya stared. He really was jealous. Why did that make her feel like punching the air that a man was actually jealous for her?

“You are! It’s only a date we’re on, we’ve not made a lifelong commitment. And Jonny is just a kid. There’s nothing to be jealous about.”

“You say that but he’s a handsome kid.”

“Exactly. A kid.” Maya gave him a pointed look. “I prefer men to be older than me, at least.”

Alexei sighed and rubbed a hand over his face.

“What do you expect for me? I wanted a dinner with a beautiful woman and then I get another male butting in wanting your attention. If I wasn’t jealous there would be something wrong with me.”

He thought she was beautiful? Maya had thought the comment was a one-off earlier. But now it seemed he really did think she was beautiful.

“It would be wrong if we were exclusive.” She pointed out. “It was only one date.”

“Really?”

Maya opened her mouth and stopped when she saw the darkening look on Alexei’s face. Desire passed across his eyes and Maya’s breath caught in her throat. Her pu*sy clenched and heat traveled up through her belly to her bre*sts, which began to feel the weight. She could only stand there as Alexei stepped closer, slipping his arms around her, and brought his head down.

The first brush of his lips over hers was enough to make Maya’s legs go weak. She clutched at his arms in an effort to keep herself upright. Alexei’s arms tightened around her and deepened the kiss, nipping and licking at her mouth in ways that Maya found herself trembling. She leaned into him and let herself go in the moment.

Wow, this man could really kiss.

Finally Alexei raised his head and Maya opened her eyes. He was looking at her the way a man would look at a woman he wanted. And the evidence of his desire prodding her in the stomach told her he wanted her badly.

Maya gulped.

“Can I see you again?” Alexei asked. His voice was hoarse as if he was struggling to hold himself together.

Maya tried to get her senses together. Should she see him again? She knew exactly what she wanted but did she know what Alexei wanted? If he didn’t want family and children like she did then there was no point in going further.

But he was a good kisser and Maya wasn’t about to let him walk away now. She swallowed and nodded.

“Yes.”

*****

Maya had a quick look around the apartment, making sure that the place was clean and she had hoovered everywhere. There were no items of laundry hanging anywhere and the pots had been washed and put away. Everything was in place.

Jenny had gone to spend the night with her parents in the Upper East Side. They had arranged to meet at John F Kennedy airport in the morning. Before Jenny left she told Maya if there was a chance to have s*x with the sexy Russian then she should go for it, even if it was only once they would do it. Maya had sent her out the door with cheeks flaming, embarrassed that all Jenny could think of was her best friend getting well and truly fu*ked.

But Maya knew that Jenny wasn’t far off. From the way Alexei had reacted during their kiss the other night, she knew it was in the cards for him. But was she? From the feel of him prodding her belly, he had been huge. Maya’s previous boyfriends had been a decent size in terms of anatomy but they hadn’t been as big as Alexei. Would she be able to cope?

From the way her body had reacted in return Maya knew she would be fine. Even after she had gone to her room and used her vibrator on herself, trying to wring out an org*sm from her body, she wanted more. And Maya knew she wouldn’t be satisfied until she got Alexei Petrov into her bed.

Since when had she been a s*x-mad woman?

At precisely seven-thirty, the buzzer for the outer door went off. Checking the security screen, Maya saw Alexei standing there holding three white bags. Evidently he had gone to get takeout before he came. She buzzed him in and left her door open while she went into the kitchen and fetched the plates and cutlery. She heard Alexei come in and close the door and turned as he entered the kitchen.
