groaned deep in his throat.
     
    “Wait.” He eased her off him. “Why did you attack the journalist? And the girl…..was that you,too? I need answers, Natalya.”
     
    She had pouted, running a slow scrape of her tongue across her bottom lip, teasing him. She folded to her knees before him, looking up with those violet, almond eyes. “Later, Alexei. I promise. But first I have a little gift for you.” And with that, she unzipped him, placing her sweet lips around the head of his cock.

    Alexei Bortsov grimaces as the memory floods his mind behind his clenched eyelids. Natalya had put him here, in this hospital bed….tried to kill him. He nods to himself. He cannot escape the truth. He had been lost in her….rocking his cock into her warm, inviting mouth….when the first furnace of pain had catapulted through his entire body. As the second wave struck, unconsciousness came.
     
    Better to be slapped with the truth than kissed with a lie ~ Russian Proverb.
     
    He almost smirked as the words left his mouth.
     
    “Did you say something? I didn’t catch it.” The nurse stopped as she made to exit his room.
     
    He shakes his head. “I was talking to myself. Can you ask the Police Officer on guard to come in please?”
     
    Moments later, the door opens with a man framed in the doorway. Alexei leans his aching body in his direction. “Can you get a message to DCI Jack Mercer? Tell him I need to speak with him…..and tell him to bring Sky Sinclair.” He whispers, croakily.
     
    He slumps back into the bed, closing his eyes. Within a short few minutes, sleep seduces him.

    DCI Jack Mercer shots a look at his partner, DCI John Keaton as they pull up in the driveway of Meadow House in Kingston upon Thames. He had thought it would be better to not inform Kane in advance that they were here to collect Sky and take her to the Chelsea and Westminster. But now he was having second thoughts about his decision.
     
    John Keaton grins. “You should have told him. You know that now, right?”
     
    “State the fucking obvious, why don’t you?” Jack growls.
     
    John raises both hands in surrender. “Just saying. Well, let’s get this over with. Just remember to duck!”
     
    A few short minutes later, Jack Mercer finds himself in the unenviable position of nose to nose contact with a very angry Kane. For a brief second, Storm and Dalton consider letting this confrontation run its course, before Brains intervenes. Reluctantly, they pull Kane away. Pity though, this looked like turning into some early afternoon entertainment….and besides, Jack Mercer had it coming.
     
    Jack Mercer treads carefully. “She will be with us the entire time. And there is a uniformed guard on the door. Remember that this is my case, Kane. And if she is happy to go, then so be it. Alexei won’t talk without her. We need her there.”
     
    I nod reassuringly towards Kane. “I’ll be fine. And the sooner we can move the investigation forward, the better. We are all stir crazy here.”
     
    Kane scrapes a hand through his hair. He shoots a look at his team. “Ok, fine. But let me take you. Jack and John can follow in their car.”
     
    I shake my head and sigh. “Fine. Whatever. I’ll go with you. Anything for peace”

    Despite the greyness of his pallor, Alexei Bortsov is a very attractive man. And he oozes confidence and power, all qualities that draw women to him like moths to a light bulb. Five minutes in his company and I find myself also magnetically pulled in. He has not really spoken yet apart from the usual cursory introductions and general pleasantries.
     
    He beckons for me to sit closer to him. I do so as he reaches to take my hand in his. He thumbs across my knuckles before speaking. “Sky, tell me you are safe. I am afraid for you.”
     
    “I’m safe.” I nod.
     
    “And you understand that I am not the one who wants to bring you
