At one point in the night, I found myself with my arms around her waist. The moment her bare ass pressed against my thighs, my dick woke up again. I had to roll over quickly to stop myself from acting on my urges.
This is a product of having been single for so long. If I’d just lived like Pavel and fucked everything with a pulse these last few years, then maybe I wouldn’t be thinking of her right now.
My phone buzzes as I step off the elevator. It’s Dmitri.
“Good morning,” he says when I answer. “How was your night?”
“I don’t believe that’s any of your business.”
“That bad, huh? That’s surprising. Anya told me she has quite the reputation.”
I can’t have this conversation with Dmitri. Not right now. “Is there a reason you’re calling so early?”
“Yes. I was wondering if you wanted to meet up for lunch today. If you’re not too busy. I want to talk business.”
I’m walking through the parking garage and I glance around and realize the security guard isn’t where he usually is.
And then something occurs to me that hadn’t before I walked out my door. I’m leaving Isabella unattended. Thinking about how she tried to leave the church, that’s probably a very bad idea.
“Hey, could you do me a favor?” I ask Dmitri. “Could you call Anya and have her call me ASAP? I need a favor from her.”
“She’s actually right here. I crashed at her place last night.”
“Good. Put her on.”
I waited as the phone was passed. Then, “Yes, Alexei?”
“Are you busy today? I need your help with something.”
“I have work this evening, but other than that, I’m free. What’s up?”
“Come over and keep an eye on Isabella, please.”
She sighed. “Are you serious, Alexei?”
“I am. It’s important. I need someone to keep an eye on her.”
“I’m not a babysitter.”
“You won’t be babysitting. Just hang out with her. Take her to breakfast, take her shopping. Just for a few hours until I get back.”
I hear her sigh again. Then finally, “Fine. But if you’re not back when I have to go to work tonight, you’re on your own, Alexei.”
“I know. Thank you.”
I look back at the elevator, and it occurs to me that I should wait until she gets here. Then I decide against that. Isabella was passed out when I left. She’ll probably sleep for the rest of the morning.
I hope she will, anyway. The last thing I need is for another Pecora sister to run away.

ISABELLA
This is so weird. I can still feel him.
I get in the shower after waking up alone this morning. As I stand under the warm water, I wonder how different things will be now that I’ve finally had sex. My body still feels the same other than the monster cock-sized ache in my pussy that Alexei left behind. I’ve heard that women have a certain glow after they’ve had sex for the first time, but I got a glimpse of myself in the mirror before I stepped in the shower. I look pretty much the same.
But… the things he did to make me feel something so intense… This is what comes from being raised Catholic and being told to keep my hands to myself when it comes to sex. I think I might’ve been more prepared for it if I’d been giving myself orgasms all this time. Coming was frightening at first. It really did feel like I was going to die for a second, but then it happened and it was like heaven. I didn’t hear bells or angels singing, but if that had happened, I wouldn’t have been surprised.
