Dimitri's Forbidden Submissive(15)

The three men stopped talking and Dimitri followed their gazes to see Gia, Ilyena, and Catrin coming down the stairs. Gia was a pretty, slender woman with deeply tanned skin and long honey brown hair. Tonight, she wore something that looked like a navy blue and silver couture sari and sapphire jewelry. When her gaze met Ivan’s she went from merely pretty to gorgeous as she beamed at him, her face lit from within, and Dimitri’s heart constricted with jealousy. Gia looked at Ivan like the sun rose and set on his command, her love for Ivan evident in her every move. He looked similarly besotted as he ignored Alex and Nico, staring at Gia like she was the only woman in the room.

Dimitri had to look away, and tried to focus on something other than his childhood friend falling in love. Irrational anger burned through him with the knowledge that Ivan could have Gia, that he could marry the woman of his choice and have beautiful children with her while he and Alex would be alone. Dimitri made it a point to leave a woman before she could get that warm look in her eyes for him and never had a moment of regret, but right now his heart ached from emptiness. He closed his eyes and took a calming breath, locking his emotions away before he could reveal anything that would provide ammunition to be used against him.

He needed to leave, to go and stay in Boston and try to fuck Rya out of his memory.

Alex’s low voice interrupted his thoughts. “Dimitri, are you all right?”

Opening his eyes, he found Alex standing in front of him with a concerned look. Though they were only half brothers, they each favored their father enough that there could be no doubt about their paternity. They both had the same dark grey eyes that ran in the Novikov family, but while Dimitri’s dark hair had a hint of red in the sunlight, Alex’s was deep brown with just the first threads of silver at his temples. A scar partially hidden by a goatee twisted the side of his brother’s mouth, a constant visible reminder of the terrible price Alex paid for loving a woman.

Focusing on that scar, Dimitri nodded. “Yes, I am fine.”

“Ilyena told me that she tried to get you to come play with us earlier, but that you were already busy with Katya and a little American woman.”

Not wanting to worry his brother, he shrugged. “I had some business to take care of.”

“Betta and Dominique will be there tonight, along with Polly and Svetlana. They have all expressed their hope to spend time with you.”

Normally, the thought of those beauties serving him would have at least aroused Dimitri, instead, his cock didn’t so much as twitch. Shit. He tried to imagine the pleasure that would come from fucking those well-trained submissives, but all he could see in his mind was Rya—his gorgeous, curvy, Rya who kissed him like he was something special.

As if his thoughts had summoned her, he watched Rya stroll into the foyer wearing a flowing purple dress that fell to just above her knees and left her arms bare. Her dark hair had been pulled back into the high ponytail she seemed to favor and silver bracelets glittered on her right wrist. His body tightened at the sight of her and his cock went from soft to hard in the space of three heartbeats. Even though she wasn’t wearing an expensive couture gown or dripping with jewels like many of the women in the foyer, to him, she was the most beautiful woman here.

She turned and he noticed that the dress plunged in the front, revealing the large mounds of her breasts. His gut tightened as his gaze fastened on her cleavage. He needed to lick those curves, to tease her nipples into hardness, to watch her breasts shake while he fucked her. When she smiled at a passing Dom, Dimitri wanted to go over there and beat the other man’s face in.

“Who is she?” his brother asked.

Glancing over at Alex, Dimitri did one of the things he hated most. He lied to his brother. “An American submissive that I was thinking about fucking. She ended up here single by an odd circumstance after the Submissive’s Wish Auction and I find her interesting.”

Alex arched a brow and Dimitri inwardly cursed at the way his brother’s gaze sharpened. “Why don’t you invite her along with us? I’m sure Ilyena would like to play with her. She is quite beautiful.”

Remembering Rya’s negative reaction to Ilyena kissing him earlier, he shook his head. “I do not think so.”

“Ahh, she doesn’t like women?”

“No, she likes them, but she is a switch who only bottoms to men. With Ilyena being a switch who likes to dominate women as well, I fear we might have a bit of a cat fight about who got to be on top.”

Alex gave a dark chuckle. “But that is the best kind of pairing to have. I love to watch two women fight with each other for dominance then bow instantly to me.”
