We eat dinner on the top deck with the flickering lights of the Riviera serving as our background entertainment. Aidenâs instructed that his yacht return to berth at Port Hercule in Monte Carlo, but the travel motion isn't distracting me from my appetite. Itâs been days since I last had a proper meal, and Iâm falling on the salmon mousseline like a starved animal.
âThe doctor will be back tomorrow morning to change the dressing.â I glance up to find him watching me with an irritated expression on his face. âChrist. Didnât Felix feed you while I was gone?â
âI wasnât hungry before.â
âThen today is a day for new appetites.â
I swing the knife and fork together with a contented sigh. âThat was delicious. My compliments to the chef.â
âNo dessert. Weâre going out.â He seems impatient. Heâs up on his feet already.
âWhere are we going?â I ask, placing my napkin down on the table.
âIâm combining business and pleasure for the rest of the evening.â His eyes gleam with untold sin and my stomach dips in nervous apprehension. âAnd you, princess, are very much the latter.â
His black Maserati is waiting for us at the quayside. He sees me into the passenger seat, and then weâre weaving our way through the back streets of the town in the direction of his casino.
âDid you take your meds tonight?â
âI did.â
âHow does the wound feel?â
âBetter, thank you.â
He seems pleased with the answer, in much the same way a hunter would be if his prized prey had shaken off an injury. He doesnât have to treat me like glass anymore. Iâm fair game.
When he places a warm palm on my leg, the fire between us flickers back to life. He pushes the pedal to the floor as his fingers start to trail upward, the snarl of the powerful engine disguising the thundering of my heart. By the time his fingers have reached their destination, the car is pushing fifty kilometers per hour.
âAiden, stop,â I tell him with a groan, but at the same time Iâm parting my legs to give him access.
âNever.â With his trademark smirk, he hits sixty as he starts to massage my clit through my damp panties. A delicious burning sensation is spreading out across my pelvis. I throw my arm up around the headrest, as his touch grows even more insistent. The vibrations of the car are making it hard to get any kind of traction on my self-control.
âAre you going to come for me, Ielena?â he purrs.
âYes,â I rasp.
âMaybe later if you behave yourself.â His fingers disappear. The car slows. âPull your dress down. Weâre arriving at my casino, and Iâd prefer not to have to beat the shit out of any more of your admirers. Itâs not good for business.â
Itâs agony to be that close to the edge and be denied. He wants me desperate. Helpless. And Iâm playing into his hands like a dream.
âIelena?â he says with an edge. âDress.â
âSorry.â I scramble to comply, even though my mind is in the gutter and my panties are soaked through.
