I allow my head to roll back as my body soaks up the pleasure. As it fades, I lift my head and nearly jump out of my skin when I find myself staring at Korrina standing by the door.

The sight of her and the scathing look in her eyes as she glares at me freeze me in place. For a moment, I forget I’m naked and Lev has me laid out on the table, eating me out.

I grab my top and cover my breasts, shame filling me.

“Lev, stop.” I move away from his mouth and try to push him away.

“No, printsessa, I want more of you.”

Korrina hears him loud and clear and doesn’t like his declaration one bit.

“Your friend is here.” I tap his shoulder hurriedly. Only then does he stop.

He straightens, meeting her with a stern gaze that becomes more intense when he sees her.

I move to cover my legs and leave, but Lev grabs my arm and holds me in place.

“Stay… right there.” The command in his tone seeps into me, speaking to every cell in my body. He gives me a quick glance then turns back to Korrina.

She pushes her shoulders back with confidence. I hate that she’s here and that she can show up at our home unannounced.

She couldn’t have picked a worse time. Look at me. I’m practically naked. The only thing that’s truly on me is my skirt, but the majority of it is bunched up around my waist.

“Apologies,” she begins with a lift of her chin and reaches into her handbag to pull out an envelope. “Something important came up, so I thought I’d stop by.”

“Leave it on the table.” Lev points to the table by the door with the vase.

Korrina looks a little stunned. “I thought you’d like to discuss what I found.”

“No. As you can see, I’m busy with my wife. When I’m finished with Mrs. Karsavin, I’ll go over the paperwork and contact you, on the phone, if I need to.”

Oh my Lord. Did he really just say that?

I check his face. He did just say that to her. Choosing me. Choosing me again.

An angry red color works its way across Korrina’s face. I’ve heard a picture is worth a thousand words. I can see that for myself now.

It’s clear she and Lev used to have something going on, a relationship outside of work. Whatever it was is no longer happening, and she’s mad as hell. Mad at him. Mad at me.

“As you wish,” she says with a curt nod, casting me a filthy glance that makes me believe she had other motives for coming here.

She sets the envelope down, turns on her heels, and saunters away.

Lev turns back to me and grins. “Now, where were we?”

I scoot away from his wandering hand. “That sounded like it could be important. Maybe you should look at it.”

“Like hell I will.” He grabs my leg and pulls me back, then lowers his head so he’s a kiss away. “You are important.”

And just like that, every warning in my head disappears. I’ve never been important.

Definitely not important enough to be chosen over a beautiful, confident woman like Korrina and whatever business matter she came with.

I reach up and touch his face, allowing my top to slide down my body and expose my breasts. He smiles at that.

“Now, as I said, malyshka… where were we?”

“Here.” I hold his gaze and lean forward, closing the distance. Then I kiss him.
