Their stay in Russia hadn’t been planned but Ruby found herself enjoying it thoroughly. In the two days that has passed she found herself relishing the time she was spending with Jaxon. On the other hand, it was a break from all the things that had been happening to her.
She suddenly thought of her parents and the smile that had been on her face faltered. She was slowly coming to terms with their demise but she was healing from it.
She knew that adamantly refusing to believe what was true would not make it any less true and the sooner she came to terms with it, the better for her.
She was glad she was back in Russia and finally had a chance to explore it to her heart’s content.
The last time she had been here was in a not so good situation. And in truth, the circumstances of her being here weren’t much better.
She felt that why now seemed so different was because Jaxon and her were in a better place. And of course Jaxon wasn’t rushing off anywhere this time around.
The penthouse they were staying in was ultra modern with everything being related to technology somehow.
She enjoyed the amenities to the fullest and never found herself bored. Right now, she was currently sitting in the master bedroom on the king sized bed. It couldn’t even be called that because the bed looked much bigger than that, maybe a mega king sized bed?
Jaxon had gone in the shower about twenty minutes prior and the slowed down shower told her he was rounding up. Her mind was still all over the place when the shower stopped completely. A couple of seconds later, the bathroom door opened and Jaxon stepped out in all his glory.
Ruby’s eyes immediately found him and stayed in him. He was still wet from the shower with droplets of water running down his body like he had just walked through rain.
A small puddle had started to form at his feet, and she admired the way his toes were neatly groomed.
Her eyes traveled back to his hair which was plastered to his head and slicked back.
She studied every inch of him, from his face with his straight nose and perfectly chiseled jaw to his neck and throat.
Every ounce of him was beautiful, but what really took her breath away was his chest.
His chest was something else. It was wide and framed with strong broad shoulders. Her eyes followed his firm chest to his abs and tight stomach.
They then followed the trail of hairs that went from his chest to below the waist of his towel.
Just then, a deep chuckle filled the room. She looked up and met Jaxon’s eyes in hers and she turned away in shame. She had been caught staring shamelessly at him.
And she didn’t regret it one bit. She would do it all over again if given the chance.
“Enjoying the view?” Jaxon grilled in a rich voice. He was staring at her so hard that she thought he could see something she couldn’t.
“Not saying anything now?” He asked as she stared at him tongue tied. She didn’t know what to say so she remained quiet.
Jaxon stepped properly into the room then crossed it with sure steps. He walked until he came to stand at the foot of the bed then stopped.
Ruby stared up at him through her lashes and thought about how she felt so small. She got on her knees while on the bed then straightened until she and Jaxon were at eye level. More like head to chest level because the top of her head was just a little over his collarbone.
She didn’t think anything but allowed herself to stare at him. His chest muscles were prominent.
Her eyes snagged on the tattoo on his chest. When she had stared at him earlier, his tattoo had not been clearly visible. But now that he was in front of her, she had a great look at the intricate pattern of it.
She had been wanting to touch it for a long time so she boldly traced her fingers on the tattoo. She felt him quiver beneath her fingers but he didn’t stop her.
She peered up at him curiously and found that his eyes were glazed over.
The next moment, he hoisted her higher and crashed his lips down on hers with urgency. The kiss wasn’t gentle in any way and he slanted his mouth over hers again and again.
Ruby let out a low moan and arched herself into the kiss. Then he pulled away and rested his forehead on hers.
He stared at her intently then said.
“I’ve been waiting for too long and I can’t anymore. It’ll drive me crazy if I don’t fuck you.” He groaned out.
Ruby breathed heavily then closed her eyes. She opened them again and met his questioning gaze.
“Me too” Her voice was low as her cheeks heated up. Hell! She had been fantasizing about them having sex.
With her confirmation, he picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He kissed her sweetly this time, and she opened her mouth for more. His tongue dived into the moist heat of her mouth seeking to deepen the kiss.
He carried her then placed her on the center of the bed. He followed her down but still kept the towel wrapped securely around his waist.
His hands gained a mind of their own and they wandered across her chest and began the task of taking her top off. The same went for her shorts, leaving her in nothing but her underwear.
Ruby’s heart was pounding wildly in her chest. She felt like a pile of nerves every time he reached to touch her. She constantly found herself leaning into his touch then moaning any time his skilled hands touched her.
Jaxon’s lips settled on hers again then he moved lower to kiss her cheek, then her ears. He took one delicate line between his teeth and bit lightly. Ruby arched her back then let out a breathy moan at his ministrations.
Fuck! She was losing it.
