But Maya knew that Jenny wasn't far off. From the way Alexei had reacted during their kiss the other night, she knew it was in the cards for him. But was she? From the feel of him prodding her belly, he had been huge. Maya's previous boyfriends had been a decent size in terms of anatomy but they hadn't been as big as Alexei. Would she be able to cope?
From the way her body had reacted in return Maya knew she would be fine. Even after she had gone to her room and used her vibrator on herself, trying to wring out an orgasm from her body, she wanted more. And Maya knew she wouldn't be satisfied until she got Alexei Petrov into her bed.
Since when had she been a sex-mad woman?
At precisely seven-thirty, the buzzer for the outer door went off. Checking the security screen, Maya saw Alexei standing there holding three white bags. Evidently he had gone to get takeout before he came. She buzzed him in and left her door open while she went into the kitchen and fetched the plates and cutlery. She heard Alexei come in and close the door and turned as he entered the kitchen.
Damn, he looked good. Jeans and a black t-shirt that hugged his torso, showing off the muscles in his arms. Maya gulped. She was wearing a purple t-shirt and black jeans and suddenly they felt too constricting.
"Hey."
"Hey."
From the way he was looking at her, Alexei clearly liked what he saw. Maya realized she was staring at him and forced herself to the center island, where she laid out the plates. Alexei put the bags on the island and began to remove the silver containers.
"I bought the Chinese first to save time. I wasn't sure what you wanted so I bought quite a bit."
Maya opened them all and had a look. There was chow mein and egg fried rice, crispy chicken and chicken in various sauces. There was also crispy beef, chicken balls and chips, even some duck pancakes. More than enough for two but Maya was hungry.
"This is great. Anything we don't eat Jenny and I can spread over a few days." She grinned at Alexei. "Thanks for this."
"No problem."
Alexei looked pleased. They filled up their plates and Maya put the lids back on the containers to keep the heat in. They carried their food into the lounge and Maya put her plate down before going to the bookcase, scanning the DVDs. There wasn't much to choose in terms of genre; she and Jenny loved horror films so that was virtually all they had. Alexei sat on the couch.
"What movie are we watching?"
Maya grinned.
"How are you on horror?"
"I can watch it."
That was a good enough answer. Maya selected an old favorite she hadn't seen in a while and showed it to him.
"This is 'The Skull', 1965."
"An old one." Alexei nodded approvingly. "I used to watch Peter Cushing when I was in Russia. My father was a fan of his. Those are classics in our house."
"We think so, too." Maya felt a rush of pleasure at Alexei's approval. She went to the DVD player. "Tuck in and I'll get this sorted."
She slotted the DVD into the player and set it going. Then Maya sat beside Alexei and picked up her mountain of food. Every piece was delicious and Maya suddenly realized that she had eaten all of what was on her plate within moments. Alexei had also polished off what he had picked out and took her plate from her.
"Would you like some more?"
Maya was tempted but she was already feeling bloated. Any more food and she wouldn't be able to move.
"Maybe later." She sat back and patted her stomach. "I'm stuffed."
Alexei grinned.
"Good idea then?"
Maya couldn't get over how handsome he was when he smiled. She was lucky she was sitting down or she might have swooned. She grinned back.
"Perfect."
They settled down to watch the film. Maya found it relaxing and enjoyable. Alexei was good company. While his English was perfect he did ask for help understanding some of the words. Maya was happy to help; sometimes even the English accent was a struggle for her.
As they watched the movie, Maya found herself settling closer to Alexei until their thighs were touching. Alexei didn't object; he simply put his arm around her and made her lean against him. Maya settled against his side, her head on his chest as Alexei settled back, relishing in the warmth from his body and the strong muscles pressed against her.
This she could easily get used to.
Maya had no idea when she had fallen asleep but suddenly she woke up and realized that the movie was finishing. Somewhere during it she had moved to sleep with her head in Alexei's lap and Alexei's arm was over her side, rubbing his hand gently over her stomach. The brush of his hand over her breast had woken her up.
Maya held her breath. Alexei's hand rubbed slow, gentle circles over her breast. Her nipples hardened and she pushed her breast against his hand. Alexei growled and squeezed her breasts in a way that made Maya gasp. Then she felt something twitch against her cheek and she realized that Alexei's erection was pressing against her. He really was huge.
She rolled onto her back and looked up at him. Alexei's face was full of heat as he stared down at her. Without looking away, his hand slipped under her t-shirt and dripped up to her breasts, forcing her bra up and squeezing her bare breast. Maya whimpered, her pussy dampening. She reached up behind her and found his cock, squeezing it through his jeans.
Alexei growled. Next thing Maya knew she was hauled across his lap and he was kissing her, thrusting his tongue into her mouth as his hands gripped her backside and undid the clasp on her bra. Maya clutched at his shoulders and held on, feeling dizzy from the onslaught. The other night when he had kissed her she had thought it couldn't get any better.
It certainly could get better. This kiss was enough for her to turn into a molten puddle on the floor.
Alexei pulled away. He was breathing heavily, his eyes darker than ever.
"Where's your room?"
Maya was also struggling to breathe. Her heart was beating fast enough to make her dizzy. She sat up in his lap.
"Why don't we do it here?"
"What about your roommate?"
"She's staying at her parents tonight." Maya got off the couch and stood before him. Without looking away she began to strip, pulling her t-shirt over her head. "And I don't want to wait."
She had never been so eager for sex before. And it had been three years since the last time she had had sex. And here she was stripping for Alexei.
Alexei growled and she could feel the heat of his gaze as she pulled off her bra and tugged down her jeans and panties, kicking them aside. Then she sat astride him, looping her arms around his shoulders and rubbing her pussy against his cock.
Alexei kissed her fiercely and thrust up against her, cupping her bottom in his hands and squeezing. Then the world spun as Maya found herself on her back on the couch while Alexei stood and quickly stripped off his clothes. His body was lean and chiseled and his muscles seemed to flex under Maya's gaze as she watched him. Then her eyes were sagged by his cock. She was right. It was huge, easily as thick as her wrist.
Before she could sit up and reach out, wanting to touch him, Alexei was on top of her kissing her hard. Their hands were everywhere, trying to touch whatever they could. One of Alexei's fingers pushed into Maya's pussy and he began a furious pace that had Maya gasping and writhing on the couch. When he added his mouth, flicking his tongue over her clit, Maya didn't think she could hold on for much longer before she climaxed.
When it hit her, it was sudden and strong. Maya screamed Alexei's name as heat washed over her and had her trembling. Orgasms had never felt that good before. Maya didn't think it was possible.
Alexei moved away for a moment and Maya managed to open her eyes to see Alexei rolling a condom onto his cock. For a moment Maya wanted to tell him to leave it off. She wasn't protected but she didn't like condoms; they didn't do much for the experience for her.
Then Alexei was pulling her until her hips were on the edge of the couch. He barely gave her time to breathe before he thrust into he
r, his balls slapping against her backside. Maya cried out, her pussy clamping down and trying to adjust to his size. He was enormous. The pain mixed in with the pleasure until the pain completely disappeared. All her nerve endings were alight and Maya found herself lifting her hips to get more of him in.
This seemed to set something off in Alexei. He pulled out until only the head was in her and then slammed back in. They built up a furious pace, Alexei clutching onto Maya's hips as he pounded into her. Maya gripped onto his arms and held on as she thrust against him, the slapping sounds of their bodies in her ears.
It wasn't long before she was climaxing again. This time it was even stronger and hit Maya hard enough for her to scream. Alexei's shout was not far behind and he jack-hammered into her before one final thrust and a snarl as he released. Then he slumped over Maya, resting his forehead against hers as he kissed her.
Maya melted into him. If this was what sex was really like she had been sorely missing out.
*****
Maya felt like she was coming out of a beautiful dream. She was in her bed, her duvet tucked in around her, with Alexei pressed up against her back. His presence was warm and hard against her, his arm around her waist.
The night couldn't have gone any better. After that furious bout on the couch, Alexei had picked her up and carried her to her room, laying her on the bed as if she was the most precious thing in the world. Then he had seduced her slowly, using his hands and mouth on her until Maya was limp from the orgasms he had dragged out of her. They had made love after that, this time slower and more sweetly. After that they had fallen asleep with Alexei holding her as Maya fell into a deep slumber.
Now she was slowly rousing, Alexei shifting against her. His hand drifted up to her breast and she could feel his cock pressing against her backside. He moaned and thrust against her. Instantly Maya was awake and pushing back against him.
Twice in one night and she couldn't get enough of him.
Alexei kissed her neck before nibbling the lobe of her ear.
"Morning." He purred.
God, he did sound sexy. Maya rubbed at her eyes, reaching back to hold his head as he teased her ear with his teeth.
"What time is it?"
"Four-thirty."
Maya groaned.
"Oh, God. I'll have to get up and get ready soon."
"Do we have time for something before then?"
Alexei's hand drifted down and between her legs, his fingers finding her clit and rubbing it. Maya gasped and flipped herself over, reaching down and taking his cock in her hand. Alexei groaned and thrust into her hand.
"I can sleep on the plane."
She kissed him and Alexei gathered her against him, the kiss fierce as he eased her onto her back and shifted her legs apart with his knees. Then he sat up and reached for the condoms he had left on the cabinet. Maya saw him select one and realized she didn't want him to put it on. Selfishly she didn't want a condom between her and him; she needed to feel him.
She laid a hand over his as he made to rip it open.
"Can you not put that on?"
Alexei paused. He looked down at her with a confused frown.
"Why not?"
"I want to feel you this time."
Maya's hand went to Alexei's cock and began to pump it. Alexei groaned, throwing his head back as he thrust his hips.
"Are you protected?" He sounded breathless.
"No. But it's not the right time for me."
Maya sat up and tried to pull him down but Alexei was suddenly not there. He had pulled away and was sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to her. He was trembling. Maya was surprised. She hadn't expected that reaction at all. She reached out and touched his shoulder.
"Alexei?"
But Alexei flinched and Maya took her hand back. He was breathing heavily.
"I'm not taking any chances, Maya." He rubbed his hands over his face. "I'm not getting anyone pregnant because I was foolish to listen to a woman's needs for unprotected sex."
It was the way he said it that had any thoughts of sex going out of Maya's head. She clutched her duvet to him, wishing she hadn't been so stupid.
"What's wrong with having children?" She asked.
"I don't have any and I don't want any." Alexei looked around at her. His glare said it all. "So don't get any ideas about trapping me."
Maya was stunned. That had never been her intention.
"How could you think that of me, Alexei? I wasn't trying to trap you. It was just a spur of the moment thing."
"That may be but even if I did it for a moment I wouldn't have been able to pull out because you feel too damn good." Alexei shook his head, his expression still accusing. "I won't do it, Maya."
Chapter 5
Maya didn't like what he was insinuating. He thought she was trying to get pregnant to get money off him. Surely he would know she wouldn't do that. The anger began to build up. Suddenly Maya didn't want him there. She didn't want to be anywhere near him.
She swung out of bed and reached for the over-sized t-shirt she used as a nightshirt, tugging it on over her head.
"I'm sorry I asked you to do something that might have been stupid." She said stiffly. "But did you have to say that about children? I've always wanted kids."
"Well, I don't want any. Simple as that."
Maya's heart cracked. To think she thought they had something going. If they weren't on the same page there was no hope. Her heart was set on marriage and children. She couldn't have either if Alexei didn't want it. Caring deeply about him and enjoying the sex wouldn't be enough to fill that part of her.
"Then there's no point in carrying this on, is there?"
"What?"
Now Alexei was sounding surprised. Maya stood and turned to face him. Alexei was looking at her in confusion.
"I want something long-term, Alexei. Marriage, kids, the works. But you don't want children and from the way you're acting I'm guessing you don't want to get married either."
"No."
So much for finding her dream man.
"Then how can we have a relationship if we want different things?"
"We could have great sex."
Maya growled. How could he say that?
"By that time I'll be too old to have children." Maya closed her eyes for a moment. "Look, this isn't going to work. Just get out."
"What?" Alexei stood up. Clearly he hadn't expected to be chucked out. "Now?"
"Yes, now. I'm not having a relationship of any sorts with a man who doesn't want what I want. It's pointless before we've got anywhere." Maya turned away and sat on the bed. "Just get out."
"Maya..."
"Go!"
She didn't want to talk to him. She didn't want to look at him. This was far too painful.
She could hear Alexei leave the room. After a few moments the door to her apartment opened and closed. It was then Maya couldn't hold it back any longer.
She slid off the bed onto the floor and burst into tears.
*****
Maya clicked the final frame and straightened up, barely looking at Sasha as she sat up on the sand.
"That's it. Good. Next one."
Sasha looked a little confused but she stood and walked away, going with one of the runners back to where the other models were sitting. All of them were a little subdued, giving each other worried looks. All of them were concerned about Maya's behavior, which was extremely out of character. She had been bad-tempered and taking it out on everyone. Nothing seemed to be right and her usual enthusiasm just wasn't there. It was unnerving.
Maya didn't notice this, however, as she gave Howie the memory card and picked up another one. She was just focused on getting this set finished so she could go back to her hotel room and lock herself in. This was turning out to be a time when she didn't want to be in Barbados at all.
"Maya?"
Maya looked up. Jenny had come onto the beach, her feet sinking into the sand. She moved her glasses to perch on to
p of her head as she frowned in concern.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Maya tried not to snap. It wasn't Jenny's fault that she was in this mood and Jenny could give it back as good as she got. "Why do you ask?"
"You've been out of sorts the past few days and everyone's noticed it. You've been snapping at the models. Even Sasha's getting worried."
Maya growled and focused on getting the memory card in, which didn't seem to want to go.
"None of your concern, Jenny."
"Maya, stop it." Jenny sighed and pressed her fingers to the bridge of her nose. "We're best friends, remember? You can talk to me. What's going on?"
Maya realized that she was being childish. Alexei's rejection and their fight had upset her. Now it was affecting her work, the one place where Maya thought it couldn't infiltrate. Everyone was noticing it and her performance was going down. This wasn't what she wanted. Deflating, Maya closed her eyes briefly and gathered her thoughts.
"I'll tell you later."
That was enough for Jenny, who walked away as the next model stepped up. Maya took a deep breath and focused on the task in hand. Her old self slowly slipped back and by the end she was back to her old self. Screw Alexei. He wasn't worth her ruining her job.
*****
When everything was done, Maya gathered everyone at the side of the pool and explained that she had been given some news that had upset her and it was nobody's fault, apologizing for lashing out at them. Everyone was understanding and gave her their wishes that things would be sorted out. Sasha and Rodrigo even came up to her and hugged her, telling her to take her time but Sasha did point out if it happened again she could cause a stink as much as Maya could.
Maya knew this and took this on board. Sasha was a sturdy opponent in a fight and next to her Maya would have no chance.
Jenny was in their shared hotel room when Maya got back. She was sitting on Maya's bed, her legs crossed and her arms folded.
