The first time Enzo suspected that something was amiss was the very next morning, when he actually slept until his alarm woke him up.That never happened.Enzo rarely slept the night through, rising before the sun. There was too much to do to spend life sleeping. His alarm actually serving its function made him feel disoriented and groggy. Like he had missed something.There was no way he was going to abstain from sex for so long in the future. If one fucking orgasm was enough to knock him out for a full night's sleep, then he had gone too long without.Or maybe it was just one woman who had done it. Lilith Rumero.Intent on banishing that unwelcome thought with caffeine, Enzo flung the covers from his body and stalked into the kitchen.“Alexei, what the fucking fuck?” he groused, jumping out of his skin at the sight of his brother making himself at home at the marble countertop, drinking Enzo's espresso, and reading his newspaper."And a good morning to you, too,” his brother said p
"Good talk, brother.”Alexei just needed a distraction. A challenge, even. It was difficult with the background they came from, always looking for the next thing. Enzo was fulfilled because of his company. But his brother was adrift.Truth be told, he had been somewhat listless himself until Lilith Rumero came along. He just had to find his brother a hobby like this one was turning out to be.Enzo couldn’t hide his grin in the backseat of his car on the way to the office. His driver painstakingly cleaned everything after each ride, and he had decided to leave him something of a present, neatly folded on the console where he usually got his drinks."Today was going to be an excellent day" Enzo thought out loud."Today was going to be an awful day" Lilith facepalm herself.She felt like the biggest brat in the world, but she couldn’t sleep in the new place. Everything was state-of-the-art, her brand new mattress included, but it just didn’t feel like home. Not to mention going over eve
Lilith knew this was going to be bad. Sge just hadn’t anticipated how badly it would go. “No. I mean, I just think we should talk about what it means. What happens next.”“What happens next is I go to my next meeting.” Enzo stood as if to dismiss her — or at least end this thread of conversation. “You were supposed to go to that meeting, too, but it seems like you have too much on your mind.”“I’m fine,” Lilith snapped before taking a deep breath. Hold it together! Lilith. “I just want to make sure that we are fine. That work won’t be weird.” Well, weirder than it already was on the morning after she had hot sex with her boss in the back of his car and he had given her a condo and a personal driver in exchange."Whoa — wait a minute. Had he paid me for sex? Oh my God, did my first sexual encounter make me prostitute?" Lilith almost gasped out loud.“I can keep work and play separate,” Enzo said. “Can you?”With that, he drew his hand from his pocket to show Lilith her lost thong from
“I …” Careful, Lilith. God, this was tricky. Because as confused as she was, as much as she might regret all of this, Lilith did want him. She wanted to feel him inside of her again, to have his lips on hers, taking everything, breathing for her. Lilith wanted all of this and none of it — without even really knowing what it was — and she felt like she was going to be torn apart."You don’t understand what this can be,” Enzo said, his voice soft and deadly. He was close — too close — and she didn’t have any more room to back up. “I can do things for you — and to you — that you could never even imagine.”God. He was right. Lilith couldn’t imagine it. Couldn’t fathom it. Wanted it bad and hated this entire situation.“The concert starts at 8 p.m.,” She whispered, terrified and electrified.“Excellent.” Enzo turned away. “Your dress will be delivered shortly. Alexei and I will be there at 7:30 sharp.”"What was I doing?" Lilith muttered under her breath.It was hard to discern what Enzo e
“My brother thinks he’s a comedian,” Enzo said loudly enough for Alexei to hear as he sauntered away to find their box. Alexei chuckled and waved at enzo over his shoulder. Enzo lowered his voice and turned back to Lilith. These words were only for her. “But he’s a fool if he thinks that you’re anyone’s but mine.”Lilith shuddered, gooseflesh prickling the smooth skin of her shoulders and back. she could tell. he was touching that expanse of skin, enjoying the effect he had on her.“How do you like the dress?”“I love it,” she gasped as Enzo kissed her jaw line as gently as he could. “Do I know where I’ll wear it next? No. But it’s beautiful.”“You’ll wear it into this performance with me,” he reasoned, following his brother’s path through the chaos of the lobby. Lilith kept pace, and Enzo had to turn his head to hide his smile. This entire event was a godsend — something to keep his brother occupied and hopefully snap him out of his funk, and another opportunity to continue to make L
Below, the orchestra shifted into a new movement, and this one they both did know. Enzo timed his strokes with the rhythm, using her own slickness to ease his fingers’ passage. It wasn’t hard. She was obviously turned on, and it made him, if possible, even harder. Those little sounds she made, the mewls she tried to smother with his own tongue, kissing him, made his cock rock hard, presses against his pants, twitching, throbbing and begging for relief.He took one of her hands, scrabbling at the armrest between our chairs, and placed it in his lap. She deserved to know what she was doing to him.The music swelled, and Ruth bucked against him. Enzo was certain she couldn’t take much more of his teasing. He slipped hid fingers inside her and beckoned, hitting that secret place he knew would deepen her pleasure. Enzo wasn’t disappointed — Lilith bit down on his lower lip at the unexpected sensation and he extended his hand so hid thumb could still reach that other spot that was going to
Lilith wasn’t running away. She just wanted some space to restore her dignity — and of course to cheer on Lora, Almost as soon as she left the bathroom, her roommate emerged from the tunnel leading backstage, jogging toward her.“You were amazing,” Lilith gushed, throwing her arms around Lora's neck and squeezing her tightly. “What was all that worrying for?”“I thought I could’ve done better,” Lora confessed. “I was just so nervous.”“Uh-huh,” Lilith said, not convinced at all. She had been phenomenal during her solo. Lilith couldn’t attest for the rest of the performance. Enzo had kept her awfully occupied. “And what did the conductor say?”Lora looked cowed. “He said I did all right.”“Just all right?”Lora laughed, hiding her face. “Okay, he said I did very well.”“Then take the compliment,” Lilith said, shaking her a little. She was always so self-assured until it came to her performances.“Thanks, Lilith” Lora said, elated, her face on fire. “I’m so glad you could come.”“Listen
“I’m fine.”“Jealous about the flowers?”“Don’t be ridiculous.”“I didn’t forget you, zolotse,” Enzo murmured as Alexei and Lora talked animatedly. He had a single red rose, held back from the bouquets, and he dusted it down her overexposed back, neck to hip, before letting Lilith hold it. She inhaled its sweet fragrance on reflex, feeling the velvet petal against her lips.“You know, you never told me what zlotse meant,” Lilith said softly, now that Lora and Alexei were distracted with each other.Enzo hesitated in the same way he had in the back of his car. “My gold.”“What?”“Zolotse means ‘my gold,’” he said, looking away from her briefly. Like he was embarrassed that he’d been caught.“Gold, like—”“You all should come to Spin,” Lora said, interrupting the charged moment Enzo and Lilith had shared. “A few of us members of the orchestra agreed to meet up there after the performance.”“I don’t know, Lora,” Lilith said immediately. “Spin is kind of …”“Exclusive?” Alexei asked, perk
