Sarah’s first orgasm hit as soon as he entered her and she felt as though she were riding one after another and quickly lost count. When Vitaly finally came, he roared as he emptied himself inside her. Collapsing on the bed next to her, he reached up to pull his belt off the headboard before releasing her wrists. He rubbed them both as he kissed them to make sure they were okay. Sarah rolled over as Vitaly pushed one leg between her and she sprawled against him. Too tired to do anything, Sarah fell asleep as Vitaly pulled a blanket up over them.
Chapter 14
The next morning, Sarah woke to an empty bed. This seemed to be a normal occurrence with Vitaly. Sitting up, she found a robe lying at the foot of the bed. Wandering into the bathroom, she made use of his mouthwash before she found a brush and brushed out the tangle that was her hair. When she walked downstairs, she found Vitaly reading on his tablet and drinking coffee. As Sarah sat down, he pushed the French press and an empty coffee cup her way, which she filled before taking a long drink. Closing her eyes, she savored that first sip.
Her phone beeped and she had decided to ignore it, but Vitaly informed her that it had been beeping insistently since he came downstairs.
“Oh no,” Sarah cried as she jumped up to grab her phone. “I never texted Lisa last night to let her know that I was okay. Everyone must be so worried.”
Sarah quickly read through her messages before sending off a group text to let her friends know that she was fine. Setting her phone down, she picked her coffee up and closed her eyes while she drank it.
When she opened her eyes, she blushed when she saw that Vitaly had been watching her. “Do you always close your eyes when you drink coffee?”
“Sometimes,” Sarah replied. “When I’m enjoying it.”
Before he could respond, Vitaly’s phone rang. Picking it up, he conducted a short conversation in Russian. When he got off, he looked at her. “Well, I had hoped to at least spend the morning with you, but it looks like I have work to do.”
“Oh. Did you need me to come into the office?”
“No. I will take care of it. My driver will take you home and you can enjoy the rest of your weekend with your friends.”
Nodding, Sarah stood up and went to retrieve her clothes from the living room. Dressing quickly, she met Vitaly in the foyer. Holding his arms open, Sarah walked into them. This was the first time he had ever hugged her. Hugging him back, she tilted her head up as he bent to kiss her. Escorting her to the car, he opened the door for her to get in and watched as she drove away.
As soon as Sarah got home, her friends descended on her demanding to know what happened. Lisa had left the club shortly after Sarah did and reported seeing Daniel at the entrance arguing with the bouncer. Sarah had to admit to a certain sense of satisfaction at Daniel being banned from the club. She wondered how long it would last. The remainder of the weekend was uneventful and Sarah reported for work Monday morning. When she got in, she was surprised to see that Vitaly wasn’t already there. When she asked Laurel, she was told that he had flown to New York on Saturday to attend to business. Sarah was surprised to hear that he had gone to New York without saying anything to her. Shrugging it off, she got to work.
By Tuesday, she still hadn’t heard from him and thought that she would check in. Calling his mobile, she was startled to hear a woman answer the phone. “Hello? Who is calling please,” asked a sultry voice. Sarah froze, unsure what to say. She heard Vitaly laughing in the background, as he asked who it was. She had never heard him sound so happy before. Staring at the handset, she quietly placed it back in the cradle.
Looking at her computer, Sarah was determined to get back to work, but she couldn’t concentrate as tears trickled down her face. Wiping angrily at her cheeks, she couldn’t believe that she had fallen for it again. For him again. She should have known that he was playing her from the beginning and that Friday night was nothing more than a game for him. Well she was done with games and she was done with him. Gathering her stuff together, she walked over to Susan’s office, but she wasn’t in. Taking a deep breath, she went to Laurel.
“Laurel, I…” she started to say before the tears started again.
Standing up, Laurel came around her desk and hugged Sarah. “What did he do?” she asked.
Sniffling, Sarah hugged her back. “It’s not what he did,” she replied, “It’s what he won’t do. And I can’t be here anymore. I only have two weeks left on my internship anyway. I just…I think it would be best if I leave now.”
“Of course. I’ll call Diane and maybe she would be willing to come back early. Now you go do what you need to do and don’t worry about us.”
