The Russian Billionaire’s Secret(127)

“Where are we going to be staying in Venice?” she asked. She hoped it would change the subject, but knew it wouldn't. Anything that put her and the sexy bodyguard in close quarters could only end one way.

“I know a guy who owns a hotel,” Vadim shrugged.

Only having been out of the states on a class trip to London, Maria wanted to explore the city, but a guard met her and Vadim at the airport. Their escort was curt, spoke Italian, and didn't look at her. Maria was surprised to find that Vadim was fluent in Italian too. What wasn't this man good at?

“Settling down,” she sighed to herself, “but tonight I guess I'm just going to have to be okay with that.”

“You haven't had real wine until you've had Italian wine,” Vadim said after they'd settled into their shared hotel room with a single large comfy bed. Maria had tried to protest, but Vadim was quick to remind her that they'd been sharing a bed since the first day they had met.

“I've traveled the world a dozen times over,” Vadim continued, “and Italy has the best wine.”

“It's good, I guess,” Maria laughed taking a long slow sip. “It's really sweet.”

“Don't drink too quickly,” Vadim chuckled. “I want you to be sober, because believe me, this is going to be the night you remember for the rest of your life.”

“What? The first time I make love in Venice?”

“No, the first time I make love to you,” Vadim said.

Maria opened her mouth to call him an arrogant bastard, but Vadim moved too quickly. He set his glass of wine aside and hers too as he closed the space between them. His warm demanding lips met hers and his five o'clock shadow brushed against her cheek. She gasped in pleasure allowing herself to give in to his delicious kiss as his tongue snaked into her mouth. Vadim pulled her into his lap and Maria leaned against his strong muscular body. It wouldn't be long now until she knew just how delicious it felt to have it pressed against hers sans the clothing that had kept them apart for too long.

Maria wrapped her arms around his shoulders and deepened the kiss. Vadim's hands trailed over her back, his fingers dancing along her spine until finally his hands cupped her bottom squeezing hard and causing her to grind into him. He was already hardening beneath her body. His heat radiated into her and she quivered.

Vadim kissed her slowly building up speed with each small movement. His hands trailed over her thighs through the pajamas she was still wearing. He stood rising easily from his chair and lifting her with him. Maria wrapped her legs around his body and kissed him harder. The act wasn't Vadim's greatest show of strength, but it was the sexiest to Maria.

Vadim lay her gently on the bed without breaking the kiss. His fingers trailed up and down her sides and she sighed in pleasure. He thrust into her grinding against her. While she was asleep he had changed on the plane and was back in his suit. The material felt delicious as it ground and pressed against her.

Vadim stood up long enough to take off his tie. He lay it across the back of an expensive armchair and his belt followed. Then he was on her again. He kissed her neck nibbling the sensitive flesh there. She ran her fingers through his thick hair and bucked up against him.

“Such an eager wild cat,” he whispered in her ear and kissed down to her collar bone. Vadim's hands inched under the hem of her shirt and over her stomach. Maria arched her back offering him her perky nippled breasts. Vadim hungrily accepted the invitation. His thumbs brushed quickly across her nipples as his hands slid into place. His large strong hands cupped her breasts laying his claim on them.

Maria looked up into his steel gray gaze and sighed in pleasure. His touch was waking desires she had long since forgotten she had. Vadim flashed her a hungry look before lowering his head and placing a kiss on either of her nipples. His mouth was warm and his breath teased her making her hungry for more. Vadim's tongue flicked across the tip of one of her nipples She drew in a sharp breath of pleasure that drew out into a happy sigh.

Vadim sucked her perky nipple into his mouth and she tugged at his hair. Moving beside of her his hand found its way between her thighs. He touched her through the thin fabric of her pajamas and a small moan escaped her lips. Slowly she turned to her side to face him and his mouth claimed hers in a hungry kiss. The kiss broke just long enough for Vadim to make quick work of pulling Maria's shirt off over her head. His own shirt soon followed.

His hands moved over her thigh and then pulled her leg over his hip. Reaching between their bodies he touched her again. His fingers were soft and nimble quickly finding the spots that made her squirm. They lingered against her teasing, touching, and delivering a promise that Maria was going to make damn sure he kept.

Reaching between them, she undid his fly freeing his thick and now fully hard and throbbing organ. Slowly, she wrapped her fingers around his smooth shaft and gave it a gentle squeeze. Vadim's eyelids fluttered and his breath hitched.

“It's sexy when a woman can give as good as she gets,” Vadim whispered and slid his fingers between her lower lips. The thin cotton of her pajamas moved beneath his fingers allowing his to touch her through the material. His fingers slid across the peak of her already aching clit and she trembled in pleasure. Bit her lower lip she began to stroke him.

Soon, their hands were moving in sync and their hips rocked in the beginning steps of a dance that was as old as time itself. They were lost in the pleasure of exploring their bodies, but Vadim's gaze never left hers. There was something softer in his eyes tonight. Something much softer in his expression than she had ever seen before. Was this when Vadim let his walls down? During lovemaking?
