Russian Billionaire’s Virgin Secretary(7)

This went on for weeks and every night Vitaly would lie next to her as he read her stories. Most of the time she slept or coughed. Eventually, Anna was admitted to the hospital where she died. After that, his mother barely spoke to him and his father eventually arranged for him to go live with his uncle, so he could learn a trade.

He had been drinking for a while when he heard someone get off the elevator. He was surprised when it was Sarah, as he didn’t expect to see her until Monday and certainly not in the state he was in. He was embarrassed that she had seen him like that, but he was determined to forget it ever happened.

As Sarah spoke, Vitaly admired her prowess. He’d only given her thirty minutes and in that time, she had picked up on things faster than some members of his management team. And he liked her choice of words. He did like to be in control. Actually, he demanded it. To lose control would leave him open to exposure. That had already happened once over a woman and he almost lost everything. He was not going to allow that to happen again. He didn’t work this hard and take this many risks to lose everything. He had vowed that he would not allow that to happen again, and he almost did on Friday.

He had gotten lost in his thoughts and was surprised when Sarah touched his hand lightly. As he stared at her, she blushed quickly removing her hand, but her touch created a warmth that he hadn’t felt in a long time.

Changing the topic, he brought up his expansion on the east coast, as Sarah shared her thoughts on it and the difficulties he was having navigating around the port union  s. As she talked, he again admired her thought process. She became more animated, and he became distracted at the rise and fall of her chest. Her blush had spread down her neck and chest giving her a rosy hue that he found delightful. He admired the swell of her breasts and was distracted as she shifted exposing more leg.

He stopped her mid-sentence as he moved an errant strand of hair off her face and tucked it behind her ear. When she looked up at him, her blue eyes seemed to grow large as he watched awareness creep across her face. Smiling down at her, “Did you pack a bag as Laurel suggested?”

“Ye…yes,” Sarah managed to say.

“Good, go get it. Wheels up in two hours.”

“Where are we going?”

“New York. I like your ideas. We can continue this discussion on the plane, now go.”

As Sarah rose, she paused. “I didn’t think to include a coat.”

Vitaly quickly dismissed her concerns. “We can pick up anything you may need when we get there. Now go.”

As Sarah left, Vitaly notified Laurel that they were leaving and to make the necessary arrangements with the flight crew. He was planning to go there later this week with the rest of his team, but the thought of spending the flight time alone with Sarah prompted his change in plans.

Sarah retrieved her overnight bag from her car and quickly returned to her office. Unsure what to bring, she asked Laurel for help. Together, they gathered the New York files along with her laptop and charger.

As they boarded the plane, Sarah was surprised that they would be the only ones on board other than the flight crew and one attendant. As she went to take a seat, she admired how opulent the interior was with its plush leather seats that swiveled and reclined.

As the flight crew was gearing up for takeoff, Sarah realized that she needed to let Mia know what was going on. Since she didn’t want Vitaly to hear their conversation, she quickly texted her roommate.

Going to New York for work. Not sure when I’ll be back.





Did you bring condoms?





Sarah couldn’t help snorting at her friend’s response, which caused Vitaly to look at her. Trying to hide her embarrassment, she mumbled something about letting her roommate know that she would be gone before turning her phone off and putting it away.





Chapter 5

As the plane took off, Sarah looked out the window at the disappearing city. While this was not her first time on a plane, she had never flown like this before. She was surprised when the flight attendant brought her a glass of champagne. Raising her eyebrows at Vitaly, he moved to sit closer to her.

“I thought a bit of celebration was in order,” he said as he raised his glass in toast.

Smiling, Sarah raised her glass in toast before taking a sip.

Oh, it was delicious, Sarah thought. The few times she drank champagne, she wasn’t impressed, but this was wonderful and not at all like the vodka. As she drank, Vitaly asked her questions about her life and soon they were engaged in an animated conversation. As he topped off her glass, Sarah realized that the bottle was empty and his glass had remained relatively untouched. As the bubbles tickled her nose, Sarah giggled before looking at him accusatorily. “You’re getting me drunk.”
