Chapter 16

Morning sunlight from the large picture window woke me from a dreamless sleep. I had stayed up most of the night, not wanting to fall asleep next to the monster in bed beside me but had passed out sometime in the night.Mikhail snored beside me and I tensed. Objectively, he was a handsome man. Older than me, but still in great shape. His muscles were hard and unrelenting even in sleep. And yet, I couldn’t believe I’d ever found him attractive. Just the sight of him made me sick.

I pulled the sheet around my body to keep covered as I gathered my clothes from the floor and went into the bathroom. I’d made it through the night. I just had to make it to breakfast and I’d be safely back with Drew.

While in the bathroom, I used my finger to brush my teeth with the cinnamon toothpaste. I could still smell his cologne on me like wood and spice and vodka. I couldn’t stand it, having his scent on me like some sort of claim. I slowly cracked the door open and peeked out to make sure Mikahl was still asleep. I turned the doorknob and closed it so that it wouldn’t click shut before taking the quickest shower of my life. I didn’t want to risk him coming in to join me. I was bathed, dried off, and dressed in fifteen minutes.

I crept out of the bathroom, careful not to make a sound but Mikhail’s deep rumbling voice startled me and I jumped, letting out a yelp, “there you are.”

He stood just to my right with his arms casually crossed, “you’re not trying to sneak out on me are you?”

I forced a smile, reminding myself why I hadn’t told him off already. “Of course not. I didn’t want you to see me such a mess after last night.” I looked down and fidgeted with my hair.

“Yes, last night was wild. It’s all a bit of a blur. The alcohol hit me hard with all the excitement, but what I do remember...” He pulled me to him, gripping the back of my hair hard and forcing his lips onto mine. “You are an amazing woman. If you ever tire of Andrew...”

I wanted to kick him in the nuts for bringing up Drew after everything but I managed a smile. “Speaking of, what time are we supposed to meet him?”

“Eight sharp.”

“Oh, then we should probably get going. It’s already seven-thirty.”

“Seven-thirty? I never sleep that late. You must have really worn me out last night, woman.” He pulled me in for one more kiss. It was everything I could do not to push away each time he touched me.

I was relieved when he finally took his hands off of me and I could step back, letting out a sigh.

“My kisses make you breathless, huh?” the overconfident asshole smirked as he asked.

I bit my tongue -- hard. Forcing a smile and nodding.

“Go make us some black tea while I grab a quick shower, kotyonok.
