Christ, this woman is one hell of a tease. I’m the king of one-night stands, but this is something straight out of my fantasies.
I follow her out of the hotel, my eyes devouring every sexy inch of her body. The night air outside the hotel is cooler, the faint smell of smoke drifting along the street.
Nina slows near the brick wall a few meters from the entrance, and I close the distance between us before she can move again.
She turns just as I plant my hand against the wall beside her shoulder, trapping her between the brick and my body.
Even with heels on, the top of her head barely reaches my chin, and I have to duck my head low to get to her ear. “I have no problem fucking you against the wall, but maybe we should rather get a room.”
The streetlight reflects in her eyes as she looks up at me with a nervous expression.
I chalk it up to this possibly being her first attempt at a one-night stand.
“I thought you might like the chase,” she replies, her voice a little breathless.
I bring my other hand up and place it against the wall, caging her in completely.
“I did.” My lips brush over her warm skin beneath her ear. “It’s one hell of a turn on, baby.” My fingers slide beneath her chin, and tilting her face up, I force her nervous gaze to meet mine. “So what’s it going to be, Nina. A hotel room and a night of wild sex, or are you going to be a memory of a beautiful woman who didn’t have the courage to go through with the one-night stand she wanted so badly?”
Lifting her hand to my chest, she settles her palm over my chest. For a split second, something flashes across her face that looks dangerously close to panic.
Then sudden movement to my left draws my attention, and as I turn my head, Nina whimpers, “I’m so sorry.”
Seeing several men rushing toward us from the darkness at the end of the street, every muscle in my body goes on high alert. As I reach for my watch to press the panic button so Rosie, our hacker, will get the alarm, an electric shock hits my chest.
My eyes snap back to Nina, who has a fucking stun gun pressed to my arm. It’s not enough to drop me, and I jerk away from her.
When the first man reaches me, I catch his wrist before the fucker can swing at me. Twisting, I hear the pop of his elbow that’s quickly followed by a howl of pain, and I drive my fist into his face for good measure.
As he drops to the sidewalk, I’m aware of Nina scurrying away as another man charges at me. I lunge forward, slamming my shoulder into his chest before pulling my gun from behind my back. Stepping back, I train the barrel on him, and the shot cracks through the air.
This time, the men attack in a group. One grabs for my gun while the other swings a metal pipe toward my ribs. I step into the swing and slam my forehead into the first fucker’s nose, the crunch echoing between us as blood sprays from his nostrils. The pipe whistles past my side, and another shot goes off before I lose my weapon.
Fuck.
Again, I try to go for my watch, then someone roars in Bulgarian, “Take down the piece of shit!”
More than one Taser is used on me, the barbed probes latching onto my body. This time, the electric shocks take me down. My knees hit the ground, and my body convulses from the electric shock.
I hear more footsteps running toward me, and the group of men doubles in size.
Raya.
The electric shocks stop, and I’m grabbed from behind.
Another man dives into me from the side, slamming me against the wall where Nina stood moments ago. His fist catches my cheek, but I barely feel it before returning the favor, my knuckles smashing into his temple hard enough to drop him.
More shouts sound up, the fuckers telling each other how to take me down, then suddenly the street falls quiet except for heavy breathing, the groans of the men already down, and my own loud exhales.
Then the assholes come at me again. I use all my strength to climb to my feet while the bastard behind me tries to tighten his hold on me.
A man slams his fist into my side while another tackles my legs, forcing me to stumble as someone else grabs my right arm and wrenches it upward.
A hard blow to my ribs forces the air from my lungs, and another blow lands against my jaw, making my head whip to the side.
The asshole behind me drives his knee into my lower back, and I let out an angry roar, gripping his arm and bending forward. I throw the fucker over my shoulder and kick him on his way down while wildly swinging at the nearest man.
