Dimitri's Forbidden Submissive(57)
“I will, but not today.”
“Stubborn bastard.” He sighed. “I will do my best to cover you, but you must come back tomorrow. Promise me. I know how tempting it is to try and hide away with your woman, to think that if you go far enough underground no one will find you, but we both know that is not true.”
The sorrow in his brother’s voice hurt Dimitri. “I understand, and thank you. I know this is not easy for you.”
“No, it is not, but I will do my best to take care of things.”
“Thank you.”
“Go, make your memories, and know that I deeply envy you. I will see you tomorrow.”
“Thank you.”
After he hung up with Alex he placed a quick call to his friend and bodyguard, Luka, who was staying in the hotel. He’d kept out of sight while Dimitri was with Rya yesterday, but he was always near enough that if things went bad, Dimitri wasn’t left to defend Rya on his own. Now he had plans for Luka that were more pleasure than work.
Luka answered with a yawn, “Good morning, boss.”
“Good morning. Your lazy ass should be out of bed by now.”
“Yeah, yeah. Not all of us have an amazingly beautiful woman in their bed. I swear you are the luckiest bastard in the universe.”
Dimitri and Luka had known each other since childhood so his friend got away with remarks that he would never tolerate from other men and Dimitri granted him favors he wouldn’t normally allow anyone. “So what do you think of her?”
Luka whistled, “She is exquisite. I see why you want to keep her to yourself.”
“Actually, I need your help with something.”
“Anything.”
He outlined his plan to his friend and after he hung up he stretched out before returning to the bedroom. While Rya continued to sleep he ordered and ate breakfast, showered, dressed, and got a good chunk of his business done before she began to stir. He watched with a small smile as Rya sat up and blinked, then stretched, then flopped back into the bed and groaned. A few seconds later she sat up quickly and looked around the room. When her golden eyes found him sitting at the desk on the other side of the room they lit up with joy.
“Dimitri.”
She held out her arms to him and he was up and moving across the room before he knew it, letting her sleep-warmed body snuggle into him as he held her. “Good morning, zaika moya.”
“Morning,” she mumbled against his chest, her little hands petting him. “Do we have time for a quickie before we have to catch our plane?”
“Actually, I wonder if you might want to stay another day with me?”
Apprehension momentarily tightened his muscles, he should know better than to assume that Rya would want to stay, but the idea that she wouldn’t want more time with him honestly hadn’t even occurred to him up until this moment.
Rya let out a squeal of delight. “Of course! But isn’t your brother waiting for you? Will you get in any trouble?”
He laughed, everything inside of him loosening up instantly as he held her in his arms, basking in her obvious joy. “No, no trouble. Eat, then shower and put your riding clothes on.”
“We’re not staying here?”
“No. Is surprise.”
Instead of questioning him she merely smiled and rubbed her nose against his. “Do you think maybe I can tempt you into a different kind of ride before we leave?”
The press of her pelvis against his left no doubt what she was offering and he smiled and nodded. “Da.”
Rya let out a long, happy sigh as her spa attendant worked some kind of deliciously warm massage oil into her lower calves. After the ride on the back of the bike from Sedona to Phoenix, and Dimitri’s ardent devotion to her pleasure, she was a little sore. She’d spent the last few hours getting a variety of treatments at the high end spa in Phoenix, Arizona that was attached to the luxury hotel where they were staying. It was super luxurious and she’d never experienced anything like the care she’d received here. Her attendants had been utterly devoted to her comfort, and she had fun sampling different types of wine while getting a pedicure. Evidently, Dimitri had gone all out because she had everything and anything she desired while the staff kissed her ass with such skill that she didn’t even mind it. Dimitri was full of surprises, and as much as she loved the pampering she was currently receiving, she also wished that Dimitri was here but she couldn’t imagine him sitting through a mud bath or a seaweed wrap.
Right now, she was in a lovely, serene private room in the spa painted a creamy peach being massaged by a rather handsome masseuse. The man, Luka, had dark brown hair and amazing hazel green eyes along with a body that was all hard muscle and tanned skin. She noticed that he had tattoos on his knuckles, and when he started massaging her, she found herself lost in his magic touch. Wearing the khaki pants and white polo shirt with the hotel’s emblem on it, he was certainly a nice piece of eye candy, but he wasn’t Dimitri, though they did have similar accents.
