Russian Billionaire's Bride (Chekov Billionaire Series Book 4) (2 page)

“Suddenly, I don’t feel so tired anymore,” she told him as she continued to pluck and roll her nipples.

Sliding his hands to her ankles, he began to work his way slowly up her legs as he kneaded her calves. Sarah glided one hand down her body. Pulling her thong to one side, she pushed her legs farther apart, as she began to rub her clit while she continued to play with her nipples. Not to be outdone, Vitaly continued to massage her legs as she moaned.

Lifting her legs, he slid between them as he kissed the inside of her thighs. Pressing a kiss to her mound, he pushed with his thumbs as he massaged along her groin, as Sarah lifted her hips toward him. Chuckling, he licked her clit, as she moaned. “Play with yourself, as I pleasure you,” he told her as he dragged his tongue up her slit.

Separating her folds, he slid his tongue inside, as she continued to rub her clit. Lifting her hood, Vitaly swiped at her swollen nub, as he slid two fingers inside and began to pump in and out rhythmically. Sliding his other arm across her abdomen, he held her down before he bit down gently, causing Sarah to buck beneath him. Sucking her clit into his mouth, he held her as she continued to thrash around on the bed.

Crying out his name, she arched up, as she pushed against the back of his head. His laughter created a vibration against her already sensitive mound as she clenched down hard on his fingers.

Pulling his fingers free, he didn’t give her a chance to take a breath before sitting up, pulling her onto his lap and impaling her. Leaning back, Sarah pushed against the bed with her feet, as she bounced in his lap. Vitaly guided his thrusts, bumping against her g-spot. He could feel her rapidly coming to another orgasm as she increased her speed. When she came, she sat up straight, pressing tightly against him. The extra pressure was what he needed as Vitaly’s own orgasm rolled through him.

Sliding his hand behind her head, he guided her to him, as he captured her lips in a devastating kiss. Holding her to him, he continued to rock with her until his erection settled and he slowly pulled out. Sarah looked at him, flopping back to the bed as she smiled.

“That was amazing. As always.” Chuckling, Vitaly reached for the ties on her corset as he tugged it free. Unhooking her garters, he slid her stockings off before kissing each instep. Lying down next to her, he pulled her into his arms before pulling the covers over them. As she nuzzled against his chest, he couldn’t resist teasing her.

“I had no idea that massaging your feet would be such a turn on for you.”

Raising her head sleepily, she kissed his chest. “Oh, Mr. Chekov, you have no idea.”

Chapter 4

Weeks blew by quickly and it was business as usual at VIC Enterprises. Neither Sarah nor Vitaly gave any thought to wedding planning and Sarah was more than happy to delegate the initial process to her future bridesmaids, Chloe, Lisa and Mia. Not to be outdone, her aunt Hannah had suggested using her mother’s wedding gown and Sarah agreed to take a look at it; although, she had to admit that she would rather wear something more modern.

Vitaly had returned to his usual hot and cold behavior as he became immersed in a proposal for a government entity that would not only increase the overall value of the company, but would open doors to other parts of the world.

Sarah continued in her present role in charge of special projects and she spent most of her time dealing with the New York office and their contracts through the New York and New Jersey Port Authorities. Since the recent espionage incident, the majority of the New York staff had been fired and Vitaly was loath to hire more people despite the increase in workload.

At Sarah’s encouragement, he agreed to allow her to bring in an intern to help with the more menial tasks and he had left the decision up to her.

His concentration was broken when he heard giggling outside his office. Opening the door, he found his receptionist, personal assistant and secretary huddled together.

“What is going on?” he demanded, as the women jumped. Diane, his assistant, grinned at him.

“We’re just enjoying the new eye candy Sarah hired.”

“Eye candy?”

Pointing to the elevator, where Sarah and a young man stood engrossed in conversation, she continued.

“The hottie over there. He is going to make coming to the office so much more enjoyable. Not that I don’t like my job, but he sure is good looking,” Diane replied.

Looking down the hall, he saw Sarah talking and laughing with a good-looking man who appeared to be a couple years younger than she was. “Is that who she hired?” he demanded.

“Oh yea.”

“Is he qualified?”

“No idea and don’t care,” Diane replied before she waved at the other two women and sauntered back to her office.

Clenching his jaw, Vitaly turned to Laurel, his receptionist. “When Sarah is finished, tell her to come to my office,” he told her before turning and stalking back to his desk.

As he sat down, he turned back to his computer, but he couldn’t concentrate. How dare she hire someone without confirming his qualifications, he fumed. Reaching for the phone, he was about to call Ivan to tell him not to authorize a security badge when Sarah walked in.

“You asked to see me?” she asked as she leaned over to give him a kiss. Tilting his head away, she gave him a quizzical look before sitting down.

“I see that you hired an intern,” he said flatly.

“Cal? Yes, he’s going to be great. He has plans to move to New York, so I’m hoping that if he works out here, we can use him in the east coast office.”

“And does he have anything going for him other than serving as eye candy?” he demanded.

Turning to look at him, Sarah opened and closed her mouth a couple times before speaking. “What on earth are you talking about?”

Gesturing wildly toward the reception area, “I was told by them that he is eye candy and I’m wondering why his ability to do this job wasn’t taken into consideration.”

Fuming silently, Sarah looked at him, “You gave me full authority to hire an intern who would serve as my assistant. I chose him,” she replied silkily.

“So you think that eye candy is an appropriate qualification?” he demanded.

Standing up, Sarah slammed the palms of her hands down on his desk, as she glared at him.

“Yes, Cal is good looking. He also happens to have a degree in business from Stanford and is on the fast track to complete his MBA by the end of this year. He also happens to be Mia’s boyfriend and has recently moved in with her to help with the rent, since I moved out. With Mia hoping to attend grad school in New York, there’s the potential to move him there, assuming he works out here, which I have no doubt that he will, given that he graduated in the top five percent of his class. And the fact that you think that I would hire someone simply based on his looks without checking out his credentials shows me that your time in a coma hasn’t helped your brain any and you’re still acting like a jealous Neanderthal!”

Sarah sat down in a huff, as she had run out of steam. Glaring at him, she got up and started for the door.

“Sarah,” Vitaly called out to her. Raising her hand, she didn’t bother to turn around.

“Not now. I’m too pissed at you.”

As she stalked out, Vitaly rubbed his head in agitation. He was never this jealous with his first wife, Nadia, or any of the women he dated. Why was it that Sarah seemed to trigger that in him? Reaching for his phone, he called Ivan.

“Yea, boss?”

“This new hire. Cal…”

“Calvin Watkins. Already checked him out and he looks like he’ll be a great fit. He starts next week.” At Vitaly’s silence, Ivan asked, “Was there anything else? Boss?” but Vitaly had already hung up.

He had blown it again. Now, to figure out how to make it up to her. Sighing, he turned back to his computer. Later. He would have to do it later.

As Vitaly left the office later that evening, he was surprised to see that Sarah had already left. Thinking that she had gone home, he headed to the house as he rehearsed his apology. When he got there, her car wasn’t in the driveway. Walking inside, he reached for his phone to call her.

“Hello?”

“Sarah?”

“Sarah can’t come to the phone right now, she lost a bet and she has to take a shot.”

“Who is this?”

“Lisa.”

Of course, he thought. She’s out with them.

“Where are you?”

“The Casbah. Celebrating.”
Lisa replied.
“Oh, and I’m to tell you that if you are still behaving like a Neanderthal that she’ll see you at the office. Oh, it’s my turn. Sorry, gotta go.”

“Hello?”

Dammit! She hung up on me. Resisting the urge to throw his phone, he reached for a bottle of vodka. Well, if she was out getting drunk, he could play that game too, he thought as he stomped out of the kitchen.

When Vitaly woke the next morning, he swore loudly, as the bright sun instantly brought his hangover to light. Looking at the time, he couldn’t believe that it was already after seven and he was going to be late for work. But then again that empty bottle might have had something to do with it.

Sitting up slowly, he looked at Sarah’s side of the bed and realized that she hadn’t slept there last night. Rising slowly, his hand bumped a bottle of water. Looking down, a bottle of acetaminophen sat next to it. So, she had been here, he thought as he popped the cap, tossed some in his mouth and drank the entire bottle of water.

Standing under the shower spray, he thought about his behavior the day before. He still couldn’t understand why he got so jealous. When he was married to Nadia, she often complained that he was married to his work first and he couldn’t fault her with that claim, as it was true. He did tend to be immersed in his work, but he was sure that Sarah understood that. And after everything that she had done for him and his company, he still found himself jealous of who she socialized with and how.

How was he going to handle it once they were married? Oh, they had a big discussion coming up and she wasn’t going to like it. Turning off the shower, he dressed hurriedly and headed in to work.

When he got there, Sarah wasn’t in her office. Walking out to Laurel, he asked if she had come into the office yet.

“Sarah went to New York. Simon was having some problems with one of the ports and she wanted to sit in on the meeting. I thought that you knew. It IS on the calendar.”

“I guess I forgot,” Vitaly mumbled as he turned back to his office. “Would you bring me some coffee?”

“Of course.”

Chapter 5

It was Valentine’s Day and Sarah had run out of excuses for staying in New York. Cal had been of great help to her in the San Jose office while she hid out in the east coast office. Simon, who had recently been promoted to Director of Business Development for all of VIC Enterprises had observantly pointed out that since she was planning to marry Vitaly, they were going to have to work things out.

While she didn’t mind that he tended to be possessive and controlling, in fact, she found that hot; his jealousy streak was not okay with her and it was time to rein it in.

She had managed to avoid talking to him for three days other than the daily status reports she sent in email and she had ignored his personal phone calls. Sighing, she sat back in her seat as she looked out the window. The jet was already in descent into San Jose. It was time to talk. Well, maybe after a little fun, she thought to herself, as she looked at the bag sitting next to her.

By the time she arrived at the office, the parking lot was almost empty. Spying Vitaly’s car, she walked inside waving to Ivan as she passed. Taking the elevator up to the tenth floor, she was pleased to see that the reception area was already in partial darkness indicating that the rest of the staff had left for the day. Seeing the light on in Vitaly’s office, she walked in as he looked up in surprise.

“Bit warm outside to be wearing such a large coat,” he commented, as she shut the door and leaned against it.

“It is,” she responded back, as she stared at him. Unsure what to say next, Vitaly waited to see what she would do. Pushing away from the wall, Sarah dropped her briefcase on the floor as she reached for the belt on her coat. Pulling it loose, the coat swung open as she walked toward him.

Sitting back, he smiled. Dressed in a sexy, red, lace bodysuit open in the center down to her navel and at the crotch, and her ubiquitous Louboutins, he watched as she sauntered toward him.

“How was New York?” he managed to ask as she dropped her coat on the chair and walked around his desk.

“New York was fine,” she replied as she turned his chair toward her.

“Not that I’m complaining, because you look stunning, but is there an occasion that I don’t know about?” he asked as she reached for his hand and drew one finger into his mouth, sucking hard. Groaning, he could feel his erection grow from interested to demanding in a matter of seconds.

“Valentine’s Day,” she said simply as she sucked a second finger into her mouth.

“I see,” he managed to say as he adjusted his now painful erection. “Should I have sent flowers?”

Pausing, Sarah gestured to the lace barely covering her breasts, “I appear already to have some,” as she pointed to the rosettes in the lace.

Reaching for his tie, which he had loosened earlier, she pulled it over his head before placing it around her neck and tightening the knot. Vitaly’s eyes darkened as he watched her. Reaching for the buttons on his shirt, she made quick work of them before pushing his legs apart and kneeling between them. Leaning forward, she splayed her hands across his chest as she licked his nipples into hard nubs.

She couldn’t help but moan as her own nipples responded to his arousal. Kissing her way down his chest, she licked at his belly button, as he sucked in his stomach. Smiling, she reached for his belt buckle before he put his hands on her to stop her.

“Sarah, there are things that we need to talk about.”

“I know,” she replied simply. “Does it have to be right this second?”
