I shook my head. “No. He’d probably smile and say, ‘Tout ira bien.’” My shoulders slumped as I tried to imagine Tyler sitting next to me, his palm rubbing on my back while he comforted me.
“Focus on me, Emma,” Dimitri murmured.
I blinked and focused on Dimitri, who had quickly become my rock I could lean on. “I’m sorry,” I whispered, my cheeks warming.
He clicked his tongue and pinched my chin between two fingers. “You don’t need to apologize. Will it help you if I distract you?”
My lips parted and stomach flipped like there were butterflies in it. I nodded. “Yes.”
Dimitri leaned in like he intended to kiss me. I held my breath, my eyelashes fluttering before I closed my eyes. I waited for his lips to cover mine and when they didn’t, I cracked open my eyes. Dimitri’s nose brushed mine, and his smile tore the air from my lungs.
“I’ve brought you a gift,” he whispered, his voice huskier.
“A gift?”
Dimitri stood up and helped me to my feet before he pulled a wrapped box from his pocket. I stared at the gift held in his large hand, and a small smile crept to my face as I took it from him.
“What is it?” I asked as I gazed at the present.
“If I tell you, that’ll spoil the fun.”
I slipped my phone into my skirt pocket, wanting to hold the wrapped box in both hands. “Mr. Volkov, why in the world would you give me a gift? It’s not even Christmas yet,” I said, then gently peeled off the paper, revealing a black velvet box.
“Consider this a pre-Christmas gift.”
Slipping the top off the box, I stared at the deep purple silicone object with two curved ends, making a tight C shape. “What is it?”
I picked it up and twisted it between my fingers, trying to figure out what it was. It began vibrating, and my eyes widened as my gaze snapped to Dimitri.
“Is...is this a vibrator?”
Dimitri’s eyes brightened with amusement, and a little smirk curled the corner of his lip. “It is, and I want you to put it in your pussy.”
I blanched and looked down at the vibrator. Not sure how it turned on, I touched everywhere to see how to turn it off.
“It’s remote-controlled,” Dimitri explained.
My jaw dropped, and I looked at him again. “What?”
Dimitri slipped his hand from his pocket, revealing a small oval remote with buttons. He wagged it, then nodded his head toward the desk. “Raise your skirt and bend over.”
“Now?” I squeaked.
His amusement disappeared and a scowl replaced it. “Yes, now.”
I looked at the vibrating toy in my hand and swallowed. “O-okay.”
Walking past Mr. Volkov, I approached his desk and raised my skirt before I bent over. I turned my head, watching as he crossed the small space and stood behind me. His fingers stroked over my bottom, trailing down until they curled under the string of my silk thong. Goosebumps erupted on my arms, and my nipples tightened. I bit my bottom lip as he peeled my underwear to the side and gently plucked the vibrating toy from my clenched hand.
“I want to watch you fall apart during this meeting, Ms. Hayes. I also want you ready for what I have planned for you later.” He kneeled behind me and leaned his head in, his tongue swiping between my folds.
“Ohh!” I whimpered as his lips closed around my swelling clit.
He sucked on the sensitive bundle of nerves, making me stand on my tiptoes to push more of myself against his face. A guttural groan escaped me when he flicked my nub with the tip of his tongue. Dimitri took his time as he ate me out, leaving me a breathless and trembling mess as I begged him to let me come. He only chuckled against me and slapped my ass. My thighs shook, and I breathed harder as I felt the familiar tingles that appeared right before an orgasm. Before I could go over the edge, he pulled away, leaving me dangling there and hurting from the denial.
“Dimitri,” I whined.
“Not yet. I don’t want you to come.” He prodded the vibrating toy outside my pulsing opening, and slowly, he worked it inside me. One end plunged into me while the other hugged against my clit. My eyes rolled into the back of my head from the vibrations, working me closer to the edge that I had to hold myself back from flying over. “You’re not allowed to come, even while this is inside you. Do you understand?”
