When she hit the hall, she slowed down. After all, the fun in this game would be when he caught her, not in the chase.

Alexander was behind her in under a minute but he didn’t close the gap. Instead he kept pace with her until they reached his bedroom.

It was palatial and beautiful. With the same clean, cool-toned aesthetic as the rest of the loft, his bedroom posted a massive bed, walk-in closet the size of her apartment back in Chicago, and a dozen beautiful photographic prints of the Danube.

She slowed and turned to face him, the edge of the bed several feet behind her.

Alexander slowed too, the little smile on his face both wicked and pleased, and she’d never been more in love with him than she was at that minute.

“Couldn’t catch me.”

“I don’t want to hurt you.”

“Well, that’s disappointing.” She stuck out her lip in a pout.

“Your knee—”

“Is perfectly fine now. Come on, Wagner.” She backed up until her bare legs hit the side of the bed. “Come and get me.” Alena stepped up and back, onto the bed, so she was standing on it, looking down at him.

Alexander’s gaze slid down her naked body, and then in a gruff voice he said, “Turn around.”

She spun, slowly, arching her back and sticking out her ass, then looking back over her shoulder at him, prepared to offer another saucy retort.

Alexander’s expression was blank, his gaze focused on her ass.

Shit.

It had stopped hurting, for the most part, but there were still some bruises. And tonight was the first time she’d been naked in front of him. Not just naked but standing on the bed so her butt was eye level.

“Alexander, it’s okay.” She whirled round and hopped off the bed, knee twanging a little.

He heaved a breath and looked away, his hands opened and closing in fists at his sides.

Alena studied him for a moment, then placed her palms very gently on his pecs. “Are you feeling guilt? Or are you thinking about how you like seeing the marks you left on me?”

“If, if it’s…If it’s the latter, then I’m a—”

“Don’t say monster. You have to call a spade a spade. Say sadist.”

“Then I feel guilty for being a sadist.”

“Don’t. I don’t want you to feel guilty. What we did in Moldova, our bargain…it was fucked up, but it’s the kind of fucked up we enjoy.”

Alexander finally relaxed, and she put a hand on his cheek to force him to look at her.

“I shouldn’t have been so hard. For days after, I watched you wince every time you sat down and…”

“And what, suga’?”

“And I loved knowing that I’d left my mark on you.” His hands settled on her hips. “It’s a terrible thing to enjoy.”

“I don’t think it is, because I enjoyed it too. Up until the part where you made me feel stupid.”

He leaned his forehead against hers. “You are remarkable, and no one should ever be allowed to make you feel like anything less.”

His words were calm and precise.
