3RD POV
***************************
Claire's eyes lingered on Ilay from time to time, reading the clear signs printed all over his face from the redness overwhelming it. She tried to ignore it, but seeing Ilay make such a face would turn on any sane straight woman.
He was already dashing and always stood out wherever he went, but seeing him so flushed and veins popping on his neck like he was holding in a wave of devilish wrath only made it impossible not to get attracted to him all over again.
But she couldn't show it, no.
The younger woman sitting next to him made Claire feel uneasy. She was just as daring and lustful as Ilay to do such a thing so publicly.
If nothing much would happen, she wanted the two gone from her life as soon as possible.
Ilay Volkov was wicked, shameless, sinful, arrogant, proud, and everything a walking red flag could be described as.
While so many women were attracted to him, none had ever made him look so...attracted.
Claire could see it so lucidly, Ilay had a thing for that girl. And so did she. But their attraction didn't feel right. Not when Claire knew the real Ilay, the unforgiving cruel bastard.
Which was why she suddenly felt piqued by their peculiar relationship.
But she reminded herself with the loudest voice in her head; even if Lucifer came here himself, she'd not dare involve herself with Ilay out of jealousy.
"Please!" Ilay grunted dropping his head. His hair quickly formed a curtain over his forehead, hiding his thoroughly reddened face as he hit his limit. "Let. Me. Cum," he begged in a whisper, his hand gripping his fork firmly as if he was about to drive it through someone.
Kally giggled and loosened her grip on Ilay's cock, which had turned pink and veiny, before picking up a few paper napkins and placing them on it.
Using the precum once more, she gave his shaft a few gentle strokes, taking advantage of its sensitivity from the withheld orgasm.
"You should cum for me," she said smiling teasingly at him. "I'll let you tie me up the next time you fuck me."
She had learned that from the countless times he made her watch him. The experience no longer scarred Kally but offered her a chance to learn about his preferences and habits.
Ilay's eyes lit up like those of a kid who had just been promised a gift as he glanced at Kally. The words triggered so many things, including his climax which made his insides tremble as all energy left his body.
When it was over, Ilay's ragged breaths wafted to Claire's ears and she almost bit her tongue while chewing.
'Oh gawd, he has just cum. This is so hard for me to overlook. But I can't do anything to them. I'll just keep pretending that I haven't heard him. Yes, just keep acting Claire. He can destroy me and the entire organization if I upset him.'
When she lifted her eyes, she caught Kally grinning at her as if provoking her.
Out of hidden fear, Claire smiled back and then quickly diverted her eyes to Dario's wife. Compared to Kally, Dario's wife felt like an angel with her sweet smile and her soft expressions.
Truly, Ilay the devil had met his match, a little demon who looked like she could pull out any lustful eyes that were aimed at her man.
***********************"**********
With a glass of wine, Kally stepped out on the unnecessary large balcony that was only eight or ten feet off the ground. She felt suffocated by the people in there.
'Where did that bastard run off to? He better not be fucking some whore he just met.' She fumed, glaring at the stars a distance away.
'But, how am I going to steal that fucking ring? Gawd! Why are his tasks always complicated and weird?' Kally groaned sipping her wine. She thought it'd be better if she pounced at Dario while drunk to excuse her behavior and not alert the prey.
The clicking of heels alerted Kally of unwanted company, letting her pull herself together in case they initiated a conversation. But to her surprise, the other person said nothing. All she heard from them was the flicking of a lighter, and then the smell of tobacco made its way to her nostrils.
Three minutes went by in utter silence between the two, giving Kally space to finish her drink and set the glass on the top rail. She sighed to herself, satisfied with recharging her social battery before she could go back in.
As she walked past the other female, she turned around to lean on the railing, her cigarette between her fingers.
"The last time I saw his wife, she looked a bit different. It's as if you're aging backward. Any secrets?"
Kally halted and smiled, happy that she could get some information about Dario from none other, than his wife.
"A healthy dose of cum three times a day and some really wild sex."
Kally faced her, wondering what the other woman wanted from her to approach her.
She had learned that there were no such things as coincidences, just planned meetings that seemed unplanned. Just like she was trying to come up with a flawless plan to bump into Dario and make a mess of him.
"I'm Ashley," she introduced smiling and puffing her irritable smoke Kally's way. "Your husband has quite a reputation."
"He gets away because he's hot and knows what he's doing in bed," Kally grinned viciously. "What about yours? He seemed quite mad at me. Did he want me to jerk him off as well?"
Ashley frowned for a second but relaxed her face for some reason. "I guess he picked you up from some gutter. Dario would be more pleased if it was your husband doing that to him."
Kally paused to think for a moment. Ashley's words meant that Dario was...homosexual, bisexual?!
Her brain quickly processed and inspected every word Ashley had spoken, breaking them down until she came up with a solid conclusion; Dario and Ilay might have been a thing in the past, which was why he had been scowling at her from across the table and why Ilay wanted her to steal his ring.
There was no meaning to the task he had given her; he just wanted to irritate Dario for the fun of it.
"Gawd!" Ashley exhaled a cloud of smoke that didn't get to Kally due to the distance between them. "You seemed like a smart girl, how did you marry him without a background check? Unless you have no power to pull off such an extensive search, right?"
Kally inhaled.
Although her grin had vanished for a moment, she still possessed the smug flicker in her eyes. "So, why are you telling me this?"
Ashley stood up straight and moved closer to Kally. Smiling through the pain in her eyes, she answered, "Because I love Dario. I don't care what he meant to Ilay. If your man tries to come for my man, I'll make 'you' suffer the consequences since I cannot touch the great Ilay the layer."
The threat could have sunk in Kally's chest and had started to until she heard the last part. "Wait what? Ilay the layer?"
Without any consideration of the seriousness of the moment, Kally exploded in laughter until she doubled over. Her laughter left her ribs aching her jaws sore, and her stomach cramping.
