time harder and right in the sternum. “So now you’re out manwhoring just like my father. Great.”
“That wasn’t what I was doing.” He sounded affronted. “We tracked your father to his favorite lounge.”
“Dyadya’s.” She waved her hand dismissively. “Yes, so what?”
“I waited until he attempted to make a move on his next conquest and then I stole her right out from underneath his nose.”
Toni covered her mouth with both hands and burst into laughter. How angry her father must have been! Of course it would not be much of a stretch for a young woman to ditch her father if Dimitri Alkaev seemed interested. Then it occurred to her that he’d probably had the attention of a very attractive young woman. The thought made her angry all over again without understanding why. The man could screw the entire city and it was none of her business. Except it made her unspeakably pissed off.
“Toni,” Dimitri said softly. “What’s wrong?”
“Did you screw her?” Toni asked stiffly, wondering why she was even having this conversation. “Did you enjoy her? Was it great? Did you just have to take her a few times before you came home tonight?”
DIMITRI DREW BACK in shock. The pent up anger and frustration in her tone suggested there was something else going on. He reached out, very gently touching her shoulder. “Toni, I didn’t have sex with that woman. It took me a short while to convince her that I’d saved her from a man who would have used and discarded her the same way he did my sister. Then I sent her home in a cab.”
Her huge blue eyes were glistening with unshed tears. “I’m sorry. I have no right to care what you do in your private time.”
“Yes. You do.”
Dimitri did what he had secretly been longing to do since the moment he’d seen Toni for the first time. He took her in his arms and kissed her until he could no longer think straight. Her lips were soft beneath his. She parted them on a sigh and he slipped his tongue into her mouth. The kiss turned carnal in a heartbeat. She wound her arms around his neck and twisted her fingers into his hair. The feel of her nails scoring his scalp was intoxicating.
She made tiny noises of approval as he deepened the kiss and cupped the globes of her ass in his hands. Dimitri backed her toward the sofa. He knew it was unwise, but he was going to take her right here and right now, consequences be damned. He wanted this woman He wanted to experience heaven between her legs and he wanted to give her the same in return.
“Toni,” he said roughly, pulling back only long enough to speak. “You are the one I want. I’m going to have you. Do you understand?”
“Yes.” She hurriedly pulled him back down for another kiss. “Don’t stop.”
Dimitri nudged her back onto the sofa. He placed his knee on the seat beside her. Finding the hem of her T-shirt, he pulled it up and over her head. Her bra came next. He popped the clasp and she struggled to get it down her arms and off. Her full breasts spilled into his hands and he groaned in pleasure.
Dipping his head, he took a nipple in his mouth. He licked and sucked until Toni was arching her back and stabbing her fingers into his hair to bring him closer. She spread her thighs and he settled between her legs. The hard ridge of his erection pressed intimately against her cleft and she rolled her hips to meet him.
If it felt this good to be next to her with the barrier of fabric still between them, he could hardly imagine the sheer intoxicating pleasure of actually sliding his shaft inside her wet heat. Dimitri struggled, fumbling with his zipper and shoving his pants down over his backside. He couldn’t wait much longer. He already felt as if he’d been waiting an eternity.
TONI HEARD DIMITRI’S zipper and felt a desperate urge to get her own clothes off. It was so odd how her anger had almost instantly morphed into lust. She’d never been so horny in her life. The deep ache between
