Chapter 6
Maya pulled back and looked up at him. Alexei saw the tears in her eyes, one escaping down her cheek. He brushed this away with his thumb and cupped her face in his hands.
“Oh, Printsessa, don’t cry.”
“I’m sorry.” Maya tried to smile but it came out watery. “I told myself not to but I couldn’t help it.”
Alexei did the only thing he knew that would calm her. He kissed her. Maya kissed him back hard almost immediately.

Alexei swept her into his arms and carried her to his bedroom. Now he had her answer, he wasn’t going to let her go tonight.

Maya woke early. It was still dark and Alexei was still fast asleep. She lay there for a moment, thinking about what had happened the night before. While what had happened when she first arrived hadn’t been what she had intended, Maya didn’t regret it. She had missed Alexei.
And it had been more than evident Alexei had missed her as well.
He had been insatiable. After taking her to his bed he had made love to her twice more before Maya begged for them to stop as she was exhausted. Alexei hadn’t complained; he had simply settled in beside her, wrapped his arms around her, and fallen asleep. Maya hadn’t been too far behind.
Now she was wondering where they went from here. Alexei had made it clear he didn’t want marriage and children but Maya did. Could she sacrifice what she wanted so she could be with him?
Maya wasn’t sure.
She slipped out of bed and picked up his shirt from the floor, slipping it on as she tiptoed from the room. Alexei’s apartment was mostly open plan so it wasn’t hard to find the kitchen. She began making breakfast, flicking the coffee machine on and searching through the cupboards for something to eat. She found bacon, eggs and bread and set about looking for the frying pan.
When she straightened up, someone hard pressed up against her back. Maya gasped as she felt his ere*tion rub against her bare backside. Alexei chuckled and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her neck.
“You’re up early.”
“Force of habit.” Maya lied. She put an arm around his neck and closed her eyes as she enjoyed the feel of his lips against her skin. “I rarely sleep in.”
“Normally I don’t either.” He smiled against her neck. “I think someone wore me out last night.”
“You weren’t complaining then.”
“And I’m not now.” Alexei turned her around and pressed a kiss to her nose. “You certainly know how to keep a man on his toes.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment.”
Alexei smiled and kissed her. Maya leaned into the kiss but kept it light. If they went any heavier they would be back in Alexei’s bedroom. While Maya wanted to do that, they needed to discuss a lot of things that were still hanging between them.
Alexei seemed to think the same thing because he pulled back and frowned at her.
“Was this make-up s*x?” He asked. “It’s been a while so I wouldn’t know what exactly make-up s*x would entail.”
Maya chuckled.
“We hadn’t exactly declared ourselves in a relationship but it could be classed as make-up s*x.” She frowned. “What are you saying?”

Alexei sighed. He led her over to one of the stools and sat her down, keeping his hands on her waist. He leaned his forehead against hers.
“I want a relationship with you, Maya. A proper one. I wanted one last time but everything with Katya has scared me. It’s hard to trust anyone.”
Maya understood that. She had been through that before herself. She cupped his jaw in her hand.
“You trust me.” She said quietly. “I know that. You told me the other day.”
“I know I did. I just wanted to reiterate that.”
