Mikhail may be okay with it, but Nikolai might not be.
Stepping up onto the curb, I let my fingers slip from his grasp under the guise of adjusting my hem again.
He comes to a full stop and sticks out his palm.
I hesitate.
Enzo tells Mikhail everything.
Especially something this big.
“What’s wrong?” he whispers.
We’re both standing on the sidewalk. It may be dark, but the heat from the Vegas sun radiates back from the concrete beneath our feet.
When I don’t answer, he tilts his head to look over his shoulder at me with one eye. “Are you embarrassed?”
“What the hell? No. I don’t want you to die.”
“You think Enzo wouldn’t already know? The man is a god. He sees everything, hears everything. He knows.” He shakes his hand, beckoning me to take it.
I slip my fingers around his thumb and walk next to him.
The cool rush of air pours over us when he opens the door.
“Alexei.” He nods at the girl at the desk inside.
She gives him a stiff smile and presses a hidden buzzer to open the second entryway.
“She doesn’t like you?” I whisper as we make our way into the huge foyer. The low pump of music is almost too deep to hear easily, but I can feel it in my chest.
“We had a miscommunication.” He winks at me, then leads me to the bar. “What do you want?”
“Um, how about some Prosecco?” I haven’t had anything bubbly in a while, and it isn’t overly sweet.
Alexei gestures for the bartender and orders.
“So, if Enzo already knows, does that mean we can have some fun here?” I lean against the wall and look out over the diagram showing all of the different rooms and their themes.
Before I take another breath, he pins me to the brick with his hand laced around my throat.
His knee pushes my tight skirt to its limits when he shoves it between my thighs.
“If you’re wearing panties, no. If you aren’t, then yes, we can play.” His hot breath tickles along my neck, then he tilts my head to suck my earlobe between his teeth.
“You’ll have to find out.” My nails dig into his shoulders and pull him closer.
His fingers move down my hip and dance under the end of my dress, tracing a hot path up my leg to my?—
“Alexei? This way please.” Enzo calls out from the hall.
Alexei growls against my skin. “I’ll discover your secret before the day is done.” He peels himself away from me and whisks me with him to Enzo’s office.
“Sit.” Enzo points at the two leather chairs framing his long black desk.
He leans back in his executive seat and leans back, swiveling to point at a large bank of monitors on the wall next to him.
“Alexei, I want you to explain this.” He clicks a button and pulls up a screen of text messages. “Who is Max and how did he contact you with Tatiana? That number has been scrubbed since you got a hold of him.” Enzo turns back with his brows knotted.
