Chapter Four
The knock on the door brought instant anger to Nikolai, and he stared hard at the door like the inanimate object itself was a contributor to his current state of mind. Nothing had gone well today for Nikolai, and he hated running into blocks. Of course, it was one of the thrills of leading the Bratva, but it still managed to get to him each time. His mother told him countless times before she died that he needed to learn how to live with his failures. But Nikolai had a mantra - no success came from managing failures.
Another rattle at the door, this time more demanding. Nikolai had told Dmitri to not let anyone bother him, and the only time Dmitri had broken that rule was when the head of the leadership family, Kuznetsov, had stormed into his home, accusing that Nikolai had taken a decision without informing the round table. They sorted that out, albeit with a battle of weapons. But it was settled nonetheless.
Muttering a string of curses, Nikolai walked to the door and threw it open, coming face to face with Lisa’s annoyed stare and her oh-so unnerving gray eyes. His brain started that dull working at the back again, gnawing on and on in trying to figure out why she looked so familiar. Nikolai thought he was going to go crazy if he didn’t figure it out.
Ignoring his brain for a minute, Nikolai observed the scene keenly, wondering why the girl was in front of his office, looking like someone had pissed in her meal. Didn’t his bodyguard slash best friend tell her this room was off-limits?
The outrage Nikolai felt when someone knocked on his door was turned down a notch as he folded his arms across his chest, still slightly irritated. Lisa stared on, her lips slightly open as if she intended to say something, but with no words coming out.
“What the hell are you doing here?”
He didn’t care much for her reason, but it better be good to have gotten him disturbed, and that only meant that it was a matter of life and death.
“Did a bear get your tongue?” Nikolai’s tone rattled her. He could see her shiver and take an involuntary step back.
Lisa said nothing, and Nikolai tried again.
“Your name.”
“Lisa,” she stammered, realizing that he had never asked for her name before now. How did that even work?
“Lisa, you better tell me what you came here for before…”
“Where have you been?” Lisa blurted out, regretting it the minute it was out of her mouth. She certainly shouldn’t have begun that way. Now, there was nothing she could do to wipe off that obvious anger etched on his features. What if he threw her out of his house now?
“I believe that is none of your business.” Nikolai was angry. Really angry. His nostrils flared, and in that instant, he looked like a callous monster devoid of every warmth humans possess.
“But…”
“And this should be the last time you even think of asking me something like that. Am I clear?”
So, bossy! Does he jerk off on hearing himself order people around?
“You left me alone for two days in this huge house. Dmitri won’t even talk to me. He acts like I did something bad to him.”
Dmitri wasn’t friends with anyone, but Nikolai didn’t think it was knowledge Lisa needed to be armed with.
“And?”
Lisa’s eyes flared open in surprise, and a red patch appeared on her cheeks. “I thought… I… Why did you bring me here if you’re just going to leave me alone all day?” Her shaky voice tingled Nikolai’s senses, and he looked at her face again - pure and innocent. He wondered what lay beneath all of that.
“I’m not sure I know where this is headed, and trust me when I say I know a lot of things.”
Lisa should have thought about this properly before appearing at his door. She should have gone over a speech in her head, and not just walked up here unarmed. Now, he probably thought her to be a dummy as well as poor.
Lifting her head with the little shred of dignity she had left, Lisa did what she had always done when people looked down on her in high school - she acted like she was always on the right. “It is wrong to bring a guest into your home and then leave them unattended. Did you know that?”
Nikolai’s eyes fanned over her, and he took a tiny step forward. He bent a fraction until he could feel her breath on his face. “I usually do not bother explaining myself to people, and I’m not about to do that with you. But humor me. Did you expect me to stay by your side like a piece of gum?”
“Answer me!” Nikolai urged her with force when she remained quiet.
“I think…”
“Answer me! Do you?”
“Mr…”
“That is not an answer, Lisa, and trust me when I say I do not have much patience.”
Lisa knew that wasn’t a mere threat. “No,” she murmured in a soft tone that went straight to Nikolai’s dick. Maybe he needed to throw her out of here right this minute.
“Now, be a good girl and return to your room. I’ll send for you when I need you.”
Lisa remained rooted to the spot, more from the tone Nikolai used than her long-forgotten need to prove a point. But it sure didn’t look that way to Nikolai as he watched her with his eyes getting darker.
“I won’t say it again.”
Lisa swallowed and closed her eyes instinctively for a second, spurred by an unfamiliar energy she felt in the air. When she opened them again, Nikolai was closer than he was the last time, and he was ordering her into his office.
I thought he wanted me out of here.
Almost mechanically, Lisa walked in through the open doors, firmly guided in by Nikolai, who had a demeanor that suggested that they were about to have a business meeting. But there was nothing corporate about what would proceed from the Russian Bear’s mouth in a few minutes.
The office was almost as spacious as her bedroom, and Lisa fastened her eyes on the row of books on the shelves lining every part of the white wall in the space. Lisa didn’t thought of Nikolai as someone who loved to read. But the minute her eyes caught one of the titles of the book, she realized with haughtiness that her initial perception hadn’t been wrong. Every book in the office was either something geared at fueling his ego or some reports from different organizations that oddly rang a bell to Lisa.
“Done looking?”
Lisa turned to face Nikolai, feeling like she had been caught red-handed, when she found him sitting on the office chair at the end of the table closer to the door. His eyes caught hers, and Lisa found herself struggling to breathe. Did the air in the room suddenly grow hot, or was it just her?
Lisa couldn’t pinpoint the exact emotions that were rushing through her. At first, she thought it was fear - fear for the man who was seated opposite her and who seemed to command more power than she could fathom. But there was something else - faint but there.
Nikolai summoned her forward with a finger, watching her with his eyes that rattled the core of her being. Lisa parted her lips to allow air in, but that, too, wasn’t working. She remained rooted to the spot, unable to move a limb. That seemed to be happening more frequently than she was used to, and it had everything to do with this man.
“I don’t have all day,” he said, angling his head like he was enjoying a damn good show. “Come now.”
Lisa sauntered towards him, each step feeling heavier by the second. Nikolai blinked, his long lashes flattering his hard face while he regarded her.
“You disobeyed one of my rules,” he said as his eyes moved from her eyes to her full lips, lingering there longer than they should have. Fire rushed through Lisa’s entire body as she struggled to come to terms with what was actually going on. The way Nikolai looked at her wasn’t the way men looked at the women they probably liked, or any woman for that matter. She recognized the hunger in his eyes, and just then, his gaze slipped to her body, accentuated by the booty shorts she had on and a crop top that hung right above her navel. What the hell was she thinking about, leaving her room like that?
Well, she got the answer to that. She wasn’t thinking at all.
"I'm willing to let that go as long as you play a little game with me, " Nikolai continued, seemingly oblivious to Lisa's plight. "Are you in?"
Lisa wasn't sure she should agree to anything Nikolai suggested, but she could barely ignore the heat searing through her flesh. Everywhere his eyes met, Lisa felt a tingling sensation. And Nikolai seemed to be fully aware of that. Not trusting her voice to utter anything intelligible, Lisa nodded instead.
"Great," Nikolai nodded, too, content with her answer. "The rules of the game are quite simple. You get on your knees and take my cock in your mouth. If you do that, I'll let go of the fact that you disobeyed me. Fair, right?"
Different emotions passed through Lisa all at once - panic, need, excitement - but she settled for the most convenient: surprise. Never in her life had she seen a man talk so casually about receiving a blowjob like it was a conversation held over breakfast. "What? You’re not serious, are you?"
"I've never been called a joker."
"Nikolai, I will not do that."
"Won't do it, or cannot do it?"
Lisa looked into his eyes, searching for any sign that he was only making fun of her. But all she found was a man genuinely interested in the answer to the question he had just asked. A little smile played on his lips as he waited. Patience had never been his greatest asset, and it showed as his right leg jerked at intervals.
"Nikolai…" A red patch appeared on Lisa's cheeks as she struggled with the idea of telling him that she had never given anyone a blowjob in her life. Although it was hard to admit to herself, Lisa was enthralled by the way Nikolai looked at her, but that was sure to disappear into thin air the moment he found out what a nun she was. "Do I have another option?"
"Do you want another option?"
Silence.
"I thought as much," Nikolai muttered, scoffing. "You want what I want, so that rules out the first concern." His eyes suddenly widened with glee, and he shuffled to the edge of his seat. "Lisa, you have never sucked on a cock before, have you?"
"I haven't." Lisa put her hands through her silky hair, and it bounced in waves behind her back, enthralling Nikolai further. "And I don't want you to see me as a prude or a boring young girl who…."
"I don't see you that way," Nikolai cut in, his voice laced with pleasure. "Now, get on your knees and quit talking."
Every part of Lisa shook with need and excitement as she knelt before him. Nikolai reached for his pants and unhooked the belt, taking his time to yank that off before unzipping the fly. He only allowed the pants to hang on his waist as he pulled down his briefs as well from the inside, bringing his cock to the surface.
Fuck was Lisa's first thought as Nikolai's cock stood fully erect in all its glory before her. It was her first time seeing a man's cock, and Lisa's confusion couldn't be more obvious. She swallowed as she continued staring at it while Nikolai watched with amusement.
"It doesn't work that way. You know that, right?" A cockish grin spread on his face as he regarded Lisa intently. "You're so innocent, it's alluring."
Lisa looked up at him, then back to his cock, swallowing impulsively. Nikolai saw the bob in her throat as the saliva went down, and he had to hold himself from moaning out. That was probably the sexiest scene he had seen in a while, and that was counting all of his sexual liberties.
"How do I…'
Nodding, Nikolai held his cock and ordered her to open her mouth.
"It's pretty easy," he murmured, gearing her softly. He stuffed his cock into her mouth, and Lisa felt filled up with her lips wrapped tightly around him. He felt hard inside her mouth, causing a warm sensation between her legs. "You just have to try not to use your teeth while sucking. Clear?"
Lisa didn't say anything. She couldn't, not with her trying so hard not to throw up all over his dick. It was one thing to be clueless, and another to make it an embarrassing moment for her. She felt Nikolai's large pair of hands go to the back of her head and gently move her, pushing her head back and forth. After a while, he closed his eyes and let go, leaving her to continue just the way he had taught her.
"Target the tip of my dick," he grunted as he grew even harder. "And try to form an O with your mouth, like you are about exclaiming about the size of my cock."
"Yeah!" he moaned as Lisa obliged him just like that. "Good girl."
As Lisa stroked his full length with her mouth, his dick touched the back of her throat, and he grunted in approval each time she did. Lisa desperately needed to breathe and take a glass of water as well. She stopped moving, and Nikolai's eyes flew open at once.
"What's wrong? Do you need to catch your breath? Am I too big for you?" Although the last part came out casually, Lisa thought his ego couldn't get any bigger.
"I need water."
"There's one more thing you need to learn about sucking my cock," Nikolai started, stroking her hair like a little puppy. "You cannot take breaks until I come."
Lisa was about to say something, but whatever it was died in her throat as Nikolai gently guided his dick back into her mouth. This time, he held her head without letting go. Lisa felt his moan rake through her whole body, moving to her core. She felt a wet puddle in her panties and decided that she didn't know who was darker - Nikolai or her body.
"I'm close now," Nikolai moaned, the huskiness in his tone making Lisa clench her thighs again. She heard that men could smell the arousal of any woman and hoped, for her own sake, that the saying was wrong. After a few more strokes, Nikolai grunted hard as he released, his salty cum going straight down her throat.
