of reports in front of him.
    “Excuse me? Did I miss something?” Marissa countered. “I don’t seem to recall agreeing to your proposition. And I certainly wouldn’t move in with you even if I did.”
    Viktor’s eyes flickered briefly to her before turning his gaze back to his work. “Two of the agents involved in Operation Smokescreen were taken down not two weeks ago. What makes you think you wouldn’t be a target?”
    “I can damn well protect myself.”
    “I would feel better if you stayed with me.”
    “I don’t believe it’s my responsibility to make you feel better.” The damned man wouldn’t even look at her when he spoke to her, and that was when it dawned on Marissa that he was treating her like one of his submissives. The idea infuriated her as well as turned her on; however, her annoyance won out. “If that’s all, Viktor, I don’t want to waste any more of your time—or mine. I’ll let you know when I’ve found anything else.”
    With that, she turned on her heel and strode to the door. Just then, the glass walls to the office immediately frosted for privacy, and before she could reach the exit, she felt herself yanked against a hard chest. She was spun around and pinned against a wall.  
    Viktor was staring down at her, and he looked pissed.  
    “I told you we’re going to happen,” he said almost in a snarl.
    “Put a lid on it, Viktor,” Marissa challenged. “I’m not one of your subs.”
    “No, you’re not.” His eyes flared heatedly. “Or I would’ve turned you over my knee and paddled your ass by now.”
    “How dare—” Marissa started angrily, but Viktor’s lips sealed over hers, effectively shutting her up. She could feel a cool breeze on her lower body. That was when she realized he had shoved up her skirt. He hiked one of her legs over his hip and thrust against her, making her aware of the hard ridge that was only getting harder. He continued to grind against her, fiercely taking her lips in a plundering kiss, his tongue licking the insides of her cheeks, coaxing her to respond. She moaned into his mouth.
    He tore his lips away and ordered, “Grab my neck.”
    Dazedly, she did as he commanded. He hooked her other leg around him and carried her across the room, laying her down on the couch, and stretching on top of her. Her legs were wrapped around him with his erection centered against her core.  
    She was throbbing with the need to be taken. If he intended to fuck her in his office, Marissa wasn’t sure if she could deny him.
    “Viktor, wait—” Marissa gasped as his tongue trailed down her neck. His fingers slipped between her legs and pushed her panties aside.
    “Wait for what, Marissa? You’re wet.” His fingers slid inside her. Oh God. Marissa tightened all her limbs around him. He continued to pump his fingers in and out of the moist walls of her sex. “Move in with me, sweetheart.”
    It wasn’t fair. He knew he could manipulate her easily with sex. That much had not changed for she was putty in his hands right now.
    Still, she could offer some token resistance mainly on principle. “No.”
    He removed the hand between her legs, pushed away slightly and started unbuttoning the front of her blouse.
    “Stop!” Marissa whispered desperately, gripping both his hands in her half-hearted attempt at protest.
    He took both her wrists in one hand, and with the other, yanked the front of her top open, sending buttons flying everywhere. His eyes smoldered as he took in the rise and fall of her breasts. An expert flick of his fingers later, her bra came undone, and his mouth immediately captured a breast, alternately sucking and swirling his tongue on her nipple. Balancing on his forearms with his back curved over her, his hips abraded hers in a rocking motion, sending her into a mad frenzy.  
    She was gasping. Moaning. She just didn’t care anymore. This man made her feel things, want things. His hand returned to her moist heat. She knew she was soaked;
