faster and more chaotic as his pleasure grew. Bethany cried out as she came, her body clenching tight to his cock as her body spasmed and jerked against him.
With a growl, Vadim’s own orgasm struck as he shortened his thrusts, embracing her body as her muscles milked him dry. Leaning up to kiss him, he held her until her spasms stopped before helping her to a standing position.
Reaching across his desk, he grabbed a bottle of water, twisted the cap, and handed it to her. After taking several sips, she handed the bottle back to him, and he drained it quickly. As they dressed, Bethany was unsure what to say to him. His actions were unexpected, and while she would eagerly go for another run, she wasn’t sure how to ask.
“I’m sorry,” he said, as he pulled her into an embrace.
Well, that wasn’t what she expected to hear.
“For what?”
“This. You deserve better than a fuck on my desk, but I could think of nothing else all evening.”
Tilting her head up to kiss him, she said, “Oh, I am so not complaining. Nope. Not even a little. In fact, I really wouldn’t mind a repeat, but maybe on a softer surface.”
He kissed her forehead and chuckled before stepping back from her. “Unfortunately, I have to go out of town for a few days.”
“Oh? Where to?”
Looking at her as if he were debating how to answer, he replied, “New York. I have a meeting.”
Crossing her arms and giving him a side look, “You know, they have these things called phones and oh, this not so newfangled thing called video conferencing.”
“I wish those were options, but I have to go.”
“How long will you be gone?”
“A few days.” Bethany hugged him and sighed.
“Would I be overstepping things if I said that I would miss you?”
Looking down at her with a surprised expression, he swallowed hard. “Nyet.”
Chapter 6
Bethany arrived at her handler’s office early Tuesday morning and was surprised to see her pacing the floor. Stopping in the doorway, she waited for Marci to look up.
“Is everything okay?”
Marci shook her head. “Not by a long shot. Someone has been in my office after hours.”
Startled, Bethany said, “Again? Is there anything…was there anything found?”
“Of course not, I’m too careful for that, but the fact that someone was here is troubling. But come in. I have the files you asked for, but they’re encrypted and on a timed server so you will only be able to review them once.” Nodding her head, Bethany sat down as Marci typed in the current password.
While she went through the files regarding the recent Chinese translation, she couldn’t help but smile. Her spy work at the Rubicon was clearly paying off during the private parties, as the guests were far more likely to talk freely when they thought that no one understood Chinese. When she finished, she brought Marci up to date on the club and her interactions with Vadim, leaving out the juicy bits.
“So, he’s in New York this week?”
“That’s what he told me. Something about a meeting that required face time.”
“Well that could mean one of two things. Either he’s meeting with someone higher up than he is in the organization or he’s looking to bring in new business.”
“I thought that he was the man in charge?” Bethany questioned.
“Of the cartel, yes. But he still reports to someone in Moscow.” As they wrapped up, Bethany agreed to see if she could insinuate herself further into the Rubicon while Vadim was gone.
With the realization that she was going to be late for class, Bethany rushed off making it with three minutes to spare. Finding a seat on the far side of the room, she was surprised to see Peter walk in. He appeared to be looking around for someone and once he spied her, he quickly ducked his head and chose a seat close to the exit.
Certain now that he was the one watching her, she knew that she couldn’t take a picture without him knowing, but wondered if she could get one from a campus
