Alexei, Her Russian Billionaire

Damn, he looked good. Jeans and a black t-shirt that hugged his torso, showing off the muscles in his arms. Maya gulped. She was wearing a purple t-shirt and black jeans and suddenly they felt too constricting.

“Hey.”

“Hey.”

From the way he was looking at her, Alexei clearly liked what he saw. Maya realized she was staring at him and forced herself to the center island, where she laid out the plates. Alexei put the bags on the island and began to remove the silver containers.

“I bought the Chinese first to save time. I wasn’t sure what you wanted so I bought quite a bit.”

Maya opened them all and had a look. There was chow mein and egg fried rice, crispy chicken and chicken in various sauces. There was also crispy beef, chicken balls and chips, even some duck pancakes. More than enough for two but Maya was hungry.

“This is great. Anything we don’t eat Jenny and I can spread over a few days.” She grinned at Alexei. “Thanks for this.”

“No problem.”

Alexei looked pleased. They filled up their plates and Maya put the lids back on the containers to keep the heat in. They carried their food into the lounge and Maya put her plate down before going to the bookcase, scanning the DVDs. There wasn’t much to choose in terms of genre; she and Jenny loved horror films so that was virtually all they had. Alexei sat on the couch.

“What movie are we watching?”

Maya grinned.

“How are you on horror?”

“I can watch it.”

That was a good enough answer. Maya selected an old favorite she hadn’t seen in a while and showed it to him.

“This is ‘The Skull’, 1965.”

“An old one.” Alexei nodded approvingly. “I used to watch Peter Cushing when I was in Russia. My father was a fan of his. Those are classics in our house.”

“We think so, too.” Maya felt a rush of pleasure at Alexei’s approval. She went to the DVD player. “Tuck in and I’ll get this sorted.”

She slotted the DVD into the player and set it going. Then Maya sat beside Alexei and picked up her mountain of food. Every piece was delicious and Maya suddenly realized that she had eaten all of what was on her plate within moments. Alexei had also polished off what he had picked out and took her plate from her.

“Would you like some more?”

Maya was tempted but she was already feeling bloated. Any more food and she wouldn’t be able to move.

“Maybe later.” She sat back and patted her stomach. “I’m stuffed.”

Alexei grinned.

“Good idea then?”

Maya couldn’t get over how handsome he was when he smiled. She was lucky she was sitting down or she might have swooned. She grinned back.

“Perfect.”

They settled down to watch the film. Maya found it relaxing and enjoyable. Alexei was good company. While his English was perfect he did ask for help understanding some of the words. Maya was happy to help; sometimes even the English accent was a struggle for her.

As they watched the movie, Maya found herself settling closer to Alexei until their thighs were touching. Alexei didn’t object; he simply put his arm around her and made her lean against him. Maya settled against his side, her head on his chest as Alexei settled back, relishing in the warmth from his body and the strong muscles pressed against her.

This she could easily get used to.

Maya had no idea when she had fallen asleep but suddenly she woke up and realized that the movie was finishing. Somewhere during it she had moved to sleep with her head in Alexei’s lap and Alexei’s arm was over her side, rubbing his hand gently over her stomach.

Before she could sit up and reach out, wanting to touch him, Alexei was on top of her kissing her hard.
