Chapter 16

Mikhail: Chapter 16

I was hurrying to get my surprise for Tajah done before she came home. She'd taken the day to go shopping, and go to the spa while she spent time with her bestie Cady. I'd finally gotten to meet her when she stopped by to pick up Dove. She gave me the twice over and I knew she was weighing her thoughts on me. I hoped I left her with a good impression. I wondered what all Tajah and even her brother Carver had said about me. I walked them out to her waiting car and made sure to send my Dove off with a kiss and a reminder to call me if she had any problems. She promised she would.

When she left, she had no idea she had a shadow. Until I knew for sure Duncan would stay away from her, I'd asked Matvey if I could borrow one of his men. I only needed them when she left without me, which wasn't often. He agreed readily and sent Rurik. I saw him waiting in a discreet car out on the street. He gave me a subtle chin lift when the women weren't looking his way. I returned it.

Since she was gone, it gave me the perfect opportunity to get the stuff I'd ordered hauled into the apartment and put together in a few cases. There was lots of rearranging and some removal of things. I was excited to see what she would think. I hoped she would love it. It was just one way to show I wanted her fully incorporated into my life. She hadn't been back to her place to stay at all since that first time we had sex. I kept asking her to stay, and she kept agreeing without much cajoling. We had made stops to pick up more of her stuff and to get her mail every few days. I wanted to tell her to let her place go and just move in with me, but I wasn't sure if it was too fast. This surprise would tell me if I should do it now or later, I think.

Finally, I had the last finishing touches done and I was just waiting for her to return. She'd texted about a half an hour ago to tell me they were on their way. Reuben had helped me out. He took off when he heard she was returning and told me she'd love it. I wondered if Cady would come up with her or not. I kinda wished she wouldn't, so we could be alone, but if she did, I'd deal.

I was in the kitchen getting myself a drink and pouring her one when I heard the beep of the door. I hurried to it and greeted her as she walked in. She had a big smile on her face. Behind her I saw Hoss. He was carrying several bags.

"Babe, why didn't you call me? I would've come to carry them," I chided her.

"I thought about it but I thought I could do it, then Hoss caught me in the elevator and he insisted on carrying them. He thought I was too delicate to do it," she teased him.

He flexed one of his big arms as he walked in with her stuff and he grinned at her. "You bet you are. How else can I keep these guns primed? Hey boss, how's it going? I think she's bought out the stores here." He went over and set them on the island.

"Thanks Hoss, Yeah, it does. Where's Cady? Did she leave already?" I asked before I gave her a quick kiss. When I was done, she answered me.

"She did. She said she had dinner plans with Carver or she would've come up. She promised me next time she would and by the way, me, you, she, and Carver are gonna go out to dinner soon. She wants to question you."

I groaned. "Just what I need. She's not a lawyer like her brother, is she?"

"No, she's not. She's a veterinarian. She says she can deal with animals way better than jackass humans. I couldn't imagine her as a lawyer. God that's scary," she shuddered.

"I'd be her animal any day," Hoss muttered.

As she gaped at him I raised a brow to him. He shrugged. "What can I say? She's a sexy little thing. Although as small as she is, I'd probably break her, so maybe not. Damn, too bad."

He was right. She was tiny, especially compared to him. My guess was she was only about five foot one or two compared to his six foot seven.

Tajah snorted. "You are a big one, but I think you should worry about her breaking you, at least mentally. More than one guy has been destroyed by her. She takes no bullshit and she doesn't give two shits. You play games or try to fool her and she'll leave you bleeding. Carver says she's tiny but her evil makes up for it. Beware what you wish for, Hoss."

The smile that spread across his face made me groan. Shit. She did it now. He was intrigued. "Hot damn, you need to get her back here soon, so I can talk to her. She might just be the woman of my dreams."

"She plans to come by more since I seem to be here all the time is what she said. I'll see what I can do, but no crying if she decimates you."

"No crying. Deal. Alright, I gotta go and get to my post before the boss fires my ass. See you later, I hope," he said to me.

I shook his hand and nodded. "I'll check with you later. Thanks again." He waved it off then left. He was okay to get downstairs. You didn't need a print to get downstairs on it although his scan was in the elevator.

"I have something I want to show you. Come with me," I asked her.

I couldn't wait a minute longer. She gave me a puzzled look but she didn't argue. I took her hand and led her down the hallway to the office. I had the door closed. "Close your eyes and keep them that way until I tell you to open them."

"Misha, what are you up to?" she asked as she shut them. She had a tiny smile on her face. I opened the door and led her inside to the spot where I wanted her to stand. It would allow her to see most of the room at once. I stood beside her, so I could see her reaction.

"Open them."

They flew open. I saw them widen in shock and her mouth dropped open as she scanned the room. Her hands came up to cover her mouth. "What do you think?" I asked softly when she said nothing.

"Oh my God! It's gorgeous, but you didn't need to do this. I could've moved to the kitchen table so you can use your office."

"I didn't do it for that reason. I want you to feel like this is your place, too. I want to share everything with you, baby, even this office. If you want it arranged another way or something changed or even something added, just tell me."

I'd moved things and arranged it, so there were two complete office spaces in the room on opposite ends of it. While my end was very masculine and dark, hers was lighter with a more feminine though not girly vibe. I'd seen her office space at her apartment. It was tiny, but it gave me ideas and I ran with them.

Next thing I knew she flung herself at me. I barely had time to grab her before she latched onto my mouth with hers and her arms encircled my neck while her legs went around my waist. I gripped her ass in both hands to help hold her as I kissed her back. I guess I had my answer. She loved it.

As we continued to devour each other, I walked her over to her desk. I gently pushed the stuff on it to the far side with one hand then I sat her on it. I thrust my hips between her legs. I knew of a great way to christen her desk. My burgeoning cock was more than willing to do it. I couldn't stop myself from pressing hard into her core with it. She tore her mouth away from mine and moaned. Suddenly her fingers were frantically tearing at the snap and zipper of my jeans. "Help. Hurry. I need you, Misha. I need you inside of me right now," she whimpered. She didn't need to tell me twice.

This would be quick and hard, but something told me she wouldn't mind. She seemed frantic for me, and God knows I was always in need of her. I'd always had what I considered a healthy sexual appetite, but she ramped it up to an insane level. I found myself thinking of her all the time and walking around with a hard-on at the most inopportune times. I'd had to hide behind furniture and stuff more than a few times while working or talking to someone. When I could, I started to keep my shirts untucked from my pants, but that wasn't possible when I was wearing a suit or dress clothes.

As she undid my pants, I lifted her ass so I could get off her long skirt. With it I took her panties. She tugged down my zipper then shoved my jeans down to my thighs. I was too impatient now to take them all the way off. They'd do. I pushed up her top and popped her tits out of her bra cups. Her light pink nipples were hard nubs which beckoned me to taste them. I sucked one into my mouth as I ran a hand up her thigh to her core. Damn, she was more than wet. She was dripping. Her moan of pleasure made my cock jerk.

I thrust a couple of fingers in and out of her a few times, which made her moan louder and thrust her hips toward me. I curled them to rub against her G-spot. Miraculously, she got wetter. Switching to her other tit, I kept finger-fucking her. It didn't take much to have her crying out and contracting hard around my digits as she came. I knew I couldn't wait any longer. As soon as she stopped coming, I withdrew my finger and lifted my head. She whimpered and gave me a pleading look.

"Turn around and lay across the desk. Show me that sexy ass," I growled.

Her pleading look changed to excitement as she got down and turned around. As she did, she paused to take off her top and askew bra. Her whole glorious naked body was spread before me. I yanked off my shirt but left on my jeans. She lay her cheek on the desk and looked back over her shoulder at me. The desire burning in her gaze made me hotter. I couldn't help but stroke myself a few times. The precum leaking from the head of my cock helped my strokes.

"Jesus, look at how beautiful and sexy my Dove is? Fuck, it's a wonder I get anything done. All I want to do is think about you and make love to you. Does this mean you like my surprise?" I teased her. I had to in order to calm down or I'd blow as soon as I got inside her. I paused my strokes too.

"Yes, I love it, Misha. I'm in the same boat as you. I think about you all the time and want you inside of me. Although, it does really help with my books," she said with a smirk as she wiggled her ass at me.

I slapped her ass, which made her jump. She moaned. "Again," she begged. I'd found my dove liked to be spanked. I hadn't tried using anything but my hand yet, but I would. I gave her several more smacks, altering the cheeks and how hard I placed them. Her ass began to flush pink. I could see her honey glistening on her folds peeking out. I wanted to see more.

"Grab and spread those cheeks for me, Dove."

"Yes, Master Misha," she said breathily.

I watched entranced as she did it. Her folds were soaked and I could see her tight entrance. I ached to slide my cock into it, but almost as equally wanted was her tiny dark hole above it. I wanted to sink my cock into her ass and fuck her until we both came. I hadn't gone there or even talked about it with her yet, but I wanted to. Deciding to test the waters, I swiped a finger through her copious cream, then I moved up to rim the outside of her asshole. She jumped and gave me a startled look.

"Have you ever had your ass played with, Tajah?"

She hesitated before answering me. "I've had fingers a few times, but nothing else."

"Did you like it?" I kept moving around and across her hole.

"Not really. It hurt a lot. Although to be fair, I think some lubrication would've helped along with some patience."

"They didn't even fucking lube it? Oh, hell no, you need something even if all it is, is your sweet honey. Can I try it and see if you like it better? Remember, you can always say no or trap."

She took a moment to decide then she gave me an awkward nod. "Okay. Do you have lube?"

"I do in fact.," I said with a wink before I opened one of her desk drawers and took a tube out.

"Hmm, one would think you planned this."

"I didn't plan this part, but you never know and I keep lube in my desk drawers. I always want to be prepared for whatever we might do. I hoped to christen your desk though at some point."

She groaned. "God, Misha, what will I do with you?"

"Let me love you. Relax and just feel. If you push out as I push in, it'll help."

I got to work slicking up a couple of fingers. The longer I waited the more anxious she might become. Leaning over, I nipped her back then licked the bite. She shivered. I did more of those to distract her. As she relaxed into it, I moved my finger to the rim and ever so slowly eased the tip inside. She tensed.

"Breath and relax," I reminded her.

She worked to do it. As she did, I slipped it in more. Getting past her sphincters was the hardest part. I worked at moving in and out while not hurting her too much. As I did and I went deeper, she began to be less tense. A small moan slipped out of her when I had my finger buried.

"God, you should see what I see. That tight little hole taking my finger. Damn, I don't know if you'll ever let me do it, but if you ever let me truly fuck your ass, I won't be able to last. I can feel how tight you are just on my finger. Fuck," I groaned as I sped up my thrusts. Images of my cock in her flashed through my mind.

Her moaning was growing. I knew she was now enjoying it and it made me even more eager to shoot my load. Hoping she could take it, I grabbed the base of my cock and lined it up with her entrance and in one long stroke, I thrust my cock into her pussy, while my finger was still in her ass. She cried out brokenly, but bucked her hips back at me, driving both deeper. I groaned. She was always tight, but the addition of even one finger made her even more snug. Shit, I wasn't gonna be able to hold back, but I refused to stop unless she told me to.

Her whimpers and moans continued and got louder. Oh yeah, my dove liked what I was doing. I snapped my hips back and forward, driving myself deep. She cried out and more honey coated me. Not wanting to come before her, but already feeling the tingle starting in my feet, I pulled her ass toward me, making room between the desk and her pelvis.

"Spread your legs," I ordered.

She did it. I slid a hand around to rub her distended clit. She muttered, "God."

I chuckled. "Not God, just your dragon. Come for me. Soak me with your honey and scream for me. Take your Master's cum, Dove," I snarled as my hips snapped hard and fast in and out of her while my finger worked her ass in sync with my cock. She began to tighten.

"That's it," I hissed.

I knew she was close. Suddenly, she began to talk. "Please, Master Misha, please, harder. I'm so close to strangling your cock. Do you like that? Fucking both of my holes at the same time?"

"Jesus Christ, yes. I love it."

"Me too. I wish you had two cocks so you could fuck both. God, it feels so good now. I've written about anal sex but never really knew what it felt like. Jesus, I'm gonna be able to do it now."

The thought of her being inspired by our sex lives made my cock swell. I rubbed harder on her nub as I thrust faster. She clenched her pussy and ass tighter around me and then raised her upper body off the desk as she screamed and came so goddamn hard. She gushed as she jerked and came for a long time. Seeing her like that and feeling it, I couldn't hold back and I gave one final thrust then threw back my head and howled as I came. She milked me so fucking good, I saw stars and my legs got weak as I flooded her with my seed. Feeling it, I recalled what she said the other night about breeding her. I needed her to mean it.

By the time we were both done coming, she was panting on the desk and I was mostly lying on top of her. I had enough sense left to ease my finger out, but I left my cock in there. I didn't want to move until I was too soft to stay. Except for the way I was staying hard, I might be ready for round two. I'd never been able to do that as much as I did with her.

I kissed her sweaty back and licked the salt from her skin. I hummed. She shivered. "Dove, thank you. Thank you for trusting me. I take it you liked that."

She weakly giggled. "You could say that. That was something, Misha. Suffice to say, you can do that again."

"And what about taking it farther? Toys and maybe me?"

"I'm willing to explore it."

My heart jumped at her agreement. I slowly stroked out then back in again. She moaned. "You're still so hard."

"I am and I think I'm gonna stay that way until you do something about it. What do you say? Wanna go again, only I think this time, we should get more comfortable."

"Oh, I think you can persuade me," she said as she tightened around me. I groaned and closed my eyes. Yes, she was perfect in every way.

Later as I was walking around Lustz checking to be sure everything was going well, I couldn't stop thinking about earlier and the intense love making sessions with Tajah. She'd wrung a second intense orgasm out of me, but not before I'd made her come a few more times. I'd left her napping so I could come do a bit of work. In all my excitement about showing her the office, I'd forgotten all about what Outlaw had told me earlier today. I was disappointed to say the least. When he called me I was so sure he had good news, only I was wrong.

"Hey, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I had some shit come up here. I hate to say it, but I can't find anything to tie either of those two to the complaints happening to you, Mikhail. If they're doing it, they're being super careful about it. No calls on their cell phones or emails. As far as I can tell from camera feeds near those buildings, they haven't been seen going into them. It's possible they asked someone else to do it verbally, but I have no idea who. I wish I had better news."

"No need to apologize. I'm just glad you checked for me. I wish it had given us something but that's the breaks. Thanks for fitting it in. I hope everything is okay at the compound and with the club."

"Ah, you know how it is. We have something all the time. Nothing we're not used to or can't handle. Maybe whoever is doing it will stop now that they failed twice. I mean what do they want? To get you fined and be a nuisance or shut down?"

"I think both of those first ones but if they keep it up, I might get temporarily shut down for the inspectors to gang up. I mean as good as my people are, if you look hard enough you can find something no matter how minor. And if they're like the last one, I wouldn't put it past them to make an issue. I hate feeling like that, but I do."

"I get it. Listen, if you have any other problems or think of someone else you want me to check out, just let me know. And I'm holding you to your promise to bring Tajah and if he'll come, Reuben to the next family day. We should have one soon. Hang in there. Talk to you later, man."

"We'll plan on it and thanks. Later."

I tried to rack my brain again to think of anyone else who would do it, but I was coming up blank. There was no use worrying about it right now. I needed to concentrate on the club and ensure everyone was having a good time while behaving. I didn't want any more Duncans. Overall, I rarely had issues thankfully. In the beginning there were a lot more, but once patrons learned I meant what I said, those had significantly reduced. Reuben wasn't with me at first, so I was always working before he and I met and our friendship became one where I trusted him. Making him my assistant manager was one of the best decisions I ever made.

After making one more sweep of the first floor, I decided to check on how things were going with Hoss and Laura. When I got to the front area, I saw Laura was busy talking to a couple of patrons. I said hello to them and welcomed them but didn't linger. I'd catch her hopefully on my way back. Since her offer to be my sub, she'd acted like her old self. I was relieved to see it. Stepping outside I walked over to the corner of the small raised entry where Hoss was standing.

"Hey boss, did Tajah get all of her stuff unpacked?" he asked with a grin.

"No, she's sleeping right now."

"Ah, so you wore her out, did ya?" he asked with a slight smirk.

"Bastard, I didn't say that but if you must know, yes. If you tell her I told you that, you'll pay for it."

He laughed. "What? Are you gonna fire me?"

"Like that would hurt you other than you'd be bored. I know the chump change I pay you doesn't compare to what you make at your business. It doesn't make a dent."

"Hey, it's not about the money. You're right, I'd go crazy. I need something to occupy my time and speaking of that. Do you think Tajah would give me her friend's number?" he asked slyly.

"Shit, Cady really got your attention. Honestly, I don't know, but I can ask her if you want. The worst she can say is no. If she does, I can try to steer it so Cady drops by when you're working or I can let you know. My only warning is, if you're looking to get off and done, don't go after my woman's friends. It'll leave hard feelings."

"If all I wanted was sex, I can get that every night of the week and twice on Sundays at this place. I'm getting tired of easy women, Mikhail. I'm thirty-nine freaking years old. I have everything else in my life in place. I always thought I'd settle down and have a couple of kids, but it hasn't happened. Truthfully, seeing you find Tajah has given my ass hope."

"I hear ya. I wasn't really thinking along those lines until I took my sabbatical. When I came back, I suspected what I wanted, but still wasn't sure until after I met her. I'm just thankful she came back after I kicked her ass to the curb."

"You were. You know, I'll ask her for her friend's number myself. And I promise, it's not just for a hookup." He held out his fist so I bumped it with mine.

"Anything I need to know about tonight?" I asked, getting back to the real reason I came to see him.

"Nope, all good. Go finish your rounds then get back to your woman. We've got this."

Thanking him I went back inside. Laura was now alone so I stopped to touch base with her. She gave me a warm smile. "How's it going so far tonight, Laura?"

"It's been good. Where's Tajah?"

"She's upstairs napping."

"Oh, I thought she might be home. I'm so used to seeing you with her. Is she living here now?" I wasn't sure I wanted to have this conversation with her, but she seemed fine.

"Not officially, no, but if I have my way, she will be. Why?"

"No reason, just making conversation. How's things been work-wise? The club seems to be doing really well. I swear we have more people every week."

"True. It has been picking up nicely. Has the increase caused you any problems? Are you able to keep up issuing bracelets and being the greeter?"

"I have no problem keeping up. In fact, if you need me to help in other ways just let me know."

"I can't think of anything, but if I do, I'll let you know. Well, if you're good I'm gonna go find Reuben and finish my walk around. Hope you have a good night."

"I will, and thank you, Mikhail. I just want you to know that I love working here more than you know."

"I appreciate it. It's hard finding good workers like you. Thank you," I told her before I walked off.

I wanted to find Reuben and make sure everything was good so I could go back to Tajah. Maybe I'd get lucky, and she was still asleep and I could slip into bed with her. I was thinking about that when I got to the second floor. My good mood went flying out the window when I heard a ruckus. It was coming from one of the theme rooms. I hurried toward the raised voices. What the hell was going on? There was a wall of people standing around watching when I got to the right one. I had to bark at them and in some cases shove a bit to get through. When I broke through, I came to a screeching halt. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Standing there in a heated argument was one of my long-term patrons, Savage Sinner. Despite his name, he'd never caused me any trouble, so to have him yelling at anyone shocked me. The other part that didn't shock me was who he was yelling at. I blinked to be sure I was seeing things correctly, but the scene didn't change. Standing there with her hands on her hips was Tessa and beside her was Sylvia.

Sheila was working tonight. I watched her trying to get them to settle down, but they weren't listening. Or at least the two women weren't. Savage was trying to extricate himself by the looks of him, but the women weren't letting him. Sylvia and Tessa were facing off with each other and he was in the middle. I took a moment to see if I could figure out what was happening.

"I'm done. I don't want either of you to play with me tonight. Jesus Christ, what's gotten into you two? All I did was ask Sylvia if she was interested and you came at us like a crazy person, Tessa. Screw it," Sinner said loudly. He scowled and shook his head. I'd heard enough. I stepped in.

"The three of you, come with me right now," I snapped. No way was I airing this where everyone could see and hear us.

"Thank God, Master M. I didn't do anything," Sylvia whined. She tried to latch onto my arm, but I shook her off. Tessa gave me petulant glances, and Sinner looked like he was ready to pull out his hair.

He gave me a weary look. "Sure thing, Mikhail. I'm sorry for this."

I could tell the ladies weren't happy about coming with me, but I didn't give a damn. As I turned around, Reuben came through the crowd with two of the security guys. "I need your office," I told him. He nodded.

It was a quiet group who followed him and I to his office. My security guys hung with us until we got there, then I dismissed them. We could handle them. Inside Reuben's office, I pointed to the seats.

"Sit," I ordered. Again, Sinner gave me no problems but Tessa flounced over to take hers, and Sylvia was trying to talk to me. I refused to interact until she did as I said. Finally, after they were all seated, I leaned against Reub's desk while he leaned against the wall next to the door.

"Alright, I want to know what the hell that fiasco was about. You know I don't allow shit like that here. Sinner, tell me what happened."

"Why him? Why don't you ask me?" Tessa whined.

"Because he was the only one who acted like he had any sense. You'll get your turn. Let him talk," I growled at her. After her shit and what happened with Tajah, she was already on thin ice with me.

"I'm sorry, Mikhail. I had no damn idea this would happen. All I did was ask Sylvia if she would be open to doing a scene with me tonight. She didn't even get a chance to answer me, when out of nowhere Tessa came barreling into the mix and she said I should pick her. That she had more experience at doing them. I informed her that may be so, but I wasn't into her kind of things tonight. It set her off, and she started arguing and trying to get Sylvia to say no and me to change my mind."

Not liking what I was hearing, I turned to Sylvia next. She hadn't said a word, and I didn't know how much of this she was truly in trouble for. "Sylvia, what do you have to say? Is what Sinner said true?"

She hesitated then nodded. "Yes, it's true. He did ask me exactly what he told you. I was about to tell him I couldn't when she came tearing into us. She wouldn't listen to either of us. It was like she was bound and determined to have him play with her. I don't want any trouble, Master M."

"You're not in trouble. I just want to know what caused this. Okay, Tessa, what do you have to say for yourself? It sounds like you were out of line."

She crossed her arms over her chest and gave me a pissed look. "Why is it all of a sudden I'm shit around here? I've been coming here for four years. She's been here a year. I've never had anyone not prefer me. As soon as I'm no longer your sub, everyone starts treating me like crap. When I was, they couldn't wait for me to either stop being yours, or to take on another play partner. I was only trying to explain to Sinner why I would make a much better playmate than her. There's a lot she won't do."

"Yes, you've been here four years, and that means you know better! God, no one has to choose you over someone else. It's all about free choice and consent, Tessa. As for how people treated you when we played together and since, maybe they don't like your attitude. You're acting like I dumped you then turned others against you. I never said a word about our time together in front of anyone, but I am now. It was never anything other than play as I explained to you. We mutually parted ways. Your desire to be my sub again is declined. You know why. Acting up with the other Doms and subs to cause trouble and drama won't be tolerated. This is your only warning. Do something again and your membership will be revoked. Understood?"

"That's not fair!" she shouted in outrage.

I was about to tell her the warning was now an official goodbye when I felt my phone vibrate. I took it out to check. I prayed it wasn't something else wrong. Luckily, I saw it was Tajah. I couldn't help but smile. Reuben, who'd been silent until then came over to me.

"You go see what Tajah wants. I'll finish up with this bunch. Sorry I didn't get to them and handle it before you had to. I was caught in the back with one of the staff having an issue."

"Anything I need to know?"

"Nothing urgent. I'll tell you later. Go. I'll make sure Tessa goes home for the rest of the night and that the other two are alright."

"You sure?"

He nodded. I looked at our patrons. Sinner looked ready to leave. Tessa was fuming and Sylvia kept giving me beseeching looks. "Reuben is gonna finish taking care of this. Sinner, Sylvia, I'm sorry you got pulled into this. Tessa, I meant what I said. Now, excuse me, I'm needed upstairs."

Sinner and Sylvia murmured their goodbyes, and Tessa hissed. I heard her mutter, "She's calling and he goes running."

I chose to ignore her. She was out the door soon. I could see the writing on the wall. Whatever her problem was, it wasn't one I would allow her to continue to play out here. Maybe I should just oust her, but I liked to give most people a chance. I'd give her the same. I didn't waste time sending a text to let my woman know I was coming back up to her.
