Midnight Sanctuary (Bugrov Bratva #2)(64)

I grab my phone, if only to distract myself from the tension boiling between us right now, and start texting Alyssa.

URI: How’s it going?

ALYSSA: Polly went back to her room for a nap. I’m just lying in bed… thinking of you.

Hm. I like where this is going.

URI: Oh yeah? What are you thinking about?

ALYSSA: The lake.

That’s all she needs to say for me to know exactly what she’s thinking of. I can feel the heat spread slowly to my extremities. I adjust in my seat so that Nikolai doesn’t suspect what’s unfolding right next to him.

ALYSSA: I’ve got your little silver present in bed with me right now.

URI: What a good girl you are. I might have to reward you.

ALYSSA: Please.

URI: Take off all your clothes. I want you completely naked and splayed out on that bed.

ALYSSA: Done.

That didn’t take long at all. Someone’s clearly eager. It makes me regret this little stakeout, the unfortunate distance between us. I could have been at home, ravishing her body, making her come again and again with my own two hands, instead of letting the metal toy I bought her have all the fun.

Before I can think of an answer, she sends another message. This one is a picture, though. I lean away from Nikolai, making sure to angle my phone to the side so that he can’t see my screen.

It takes everything in me not to groan out loud. The woman is a fucking vision. Her breasts are on full display, tempting me with soft, supple curves. Her nipples are aroused and begging for attention. I’m straining so hard in my pants that it’s painful.

She sends another picture—this one with the toy clasped between her slim fingers.

URI: That’s my good little kiska. Now, slide that inside you slowly.

I open the app on my phone and find the control panel. Cranking it on, I start the vibrator on low. If I’m going to be here for an hour, I intend to make it count.

ALYSSA: Oh God… it feels so good, Uri.

URI: I want you to touch yourself while the vibrator works its magic. Imagine I’m with you, sliding my hands over your breasts. Sucking on one nipple, then the other…

ALYSSA: It feels so good…

I kick the vibrator up a couple of notches and I can almost hear the little gasp that undoubtedly shoots out of her mouth.

ALYSSA: Uri…

Uri: You like that, baby?

ALYSSA: I love it.

URI: I’m sucking on your tits, circling your clit with my cock.

ALYSSA: Yes, fuck me. That’s what I want. I want to suck on you. I want to choke on it. I want to take you in so deep that I’m gagging.

URI: What a naughty little narushitel you are.

ALYSSA: I’m your naughty little narushitel. All yours.

I turn the vibrator up all the way, wishing that I could see her writhing around on our bed, her body blossoming like a flower ready to be plucked.

ALYSSA: h8nskw$$%55@#$##fhdb!!fwh093b

I let out a satisfied chuckle. That message says it all. I imagine her piqued moans, her shuddering gasps. Her body rolling with the orgasm I’ve just given her from miles away.

ALYSSA: Shit. Sorry. That last message… I came blushing face emoji

URI: Consider that round one. I’m just warming you up for later.

ALYSSA: That a promise?

ALYSSA: Smiling face emoji*Heart eyes emoji*

“For fuck’s sake,” Nikolai snaps suddenly. “What’s the point in the stakeout if you’re going to spend all your time looking down at your phone?”

“What the fuck is your problem?”

He opens his mouth to snap back, but before he can, my phone starts vibrating in my hand.

“Cousin,” Dimiv’s voice comes through from the other side when I answer. “I’ve got some news from the guy I’ve got trailing Elena Chernoff and her boy. You’re… not gonna like it, I’m afraid.”

I sit up straighter. “What is it?”

“Their trail went cold about an hour ago.”

That’s not the only thing going cold right now. “What do you mean?”

“He followed them into a shopping mall. They shopped around for a bit and then they went into the food court. That’s where he lost sight of them.”

“Their security?”

“Left the mall without them. Which means—”

“Sobakin had them extracted,” I growl, resisting the urge to fling my phone out the window. “Fuck!”

“He’s planning something, Uri.”

“No shit. And now, he’s got the woman and the boy under his protection so he can move on me and my family without reservations. Blyat’. That boy was our leverage!”

“We’ll find another way to get to him.”

When I hang up, I can feel Nikolai’s eyes boring a hole in the side of my face. “What?” I snap.

“You can’t afford to be this distracted.”

I glare at him. “I’m not.”

Nikolai’s lips purse up as he turns his gaze away from me. Hard as it is for me to admit it, even to myself, he’s right: I can’t get distracted anymore.

It’s time to get my head in the game.

It’s time to find that motherfucker and end him once and for all.
