said as she shifted into a martial arts stance bringing both of her hands up in front of her palms positioned inward. She let her back leg bare her weight with the front leg slightly bent ready to kick.
    “I really hate to have to beat on a woman but in your case I think I’m going to enjoy this.” Alek said smugly.
    “Really, that’s odd because according to your police record beating women was one of your hobbies at least where your ex-wife and last girlfriend were concerned. Although unlike the women in your past I hit back and I promise you that it’s going to hurt like hell.” Nicolette said sarcastically.
    “Let see if I can shut you for a while beside I want to find out if you’re as good as you think you are.” He said in an irritated tone as he glared at her angrily.
    “Oh honey you should be careful what you ask for because I’m about to make you really sorry that you decided to get up this morning.” Nicolette said with a big grin as they circled each other in their fight ready stance.
    Alek threw the first punch but Nicolette dodged it like a pro as she rounded on him with a right hook that landed on the side of his jaw. He staggered sideways before recovering quickly to kick her in the ribs causing her to flinch slightly.
    Nicolette laughed it off before adjusting her stance. “That the best you got light-weight, you’re going to have to come a hell of a lot harder than that to take me down.”
    Her words angered Alek causing him to lung e forward haphazardly as he swung a few wild punches. Nicolette blocked every one of them before landing an upper cut to his chin making him stagger backward. This time when he came at her he attempted a high kick to her head which she avoided by moving to the side.
    She then countered with a quick back-hand to the side of the head. This time when he staggered Nicolette did a spinning low leg sweep to swipe his legs from beneath him causing Alek to fall to the floor. As Nicolette straightened to her full height he kicked at her but she bent her leg at the knee to block the weak kick before bringing her foot down in his midsection. She then leaned over and punched him in the face knocking him out cold.
    “He’s probably going to need some medical attention when he wakes up, but there’s no rush he’ll be out for awhile so we can continue the meeting if you’d like.” Nicolette said as she walked over to side bar to pour herself a glass of water.
    Dmitry walked over to join her. “Would you like something stronger than water because I think you’ve earned it?”
    “Thanks chéri but I don’t drink while I’m working.” She replied with a smile.
    “Well after this meeting drinks are on me.” He said smiling back at her.
    “Really drinks will be on you huh, is that with or without the suit? You know you really shouldn’t tease a woman like that chéri it’s not nice.” She said teasingly in a sweet but seductive tone as she eyed his large wide body.
    “Who’s teasing who my sexy siren?” Dmitry whispered with a grin as he helped her into her jacket.
    “I guess we’ll find out soon enough, chéri.” Nicolette whispered back as she turned to move past him then paused for a moment. “Oh and I believe this belongs to you.” She said as she slipped the pen that she’d taken from his safe into the breast pocket of his suit then winked as she moved away smiling.
    Olga and Yuri didn’t miss the intense exchange between Dmitry and Nicolette. It pleased her to see that her son seemed to enjoying himself, it had been quite a long time since she’d seen him smile so much. Hopefully she’ll see him smiling a whole lot if with Nicolette around.
     
    Chapter Three
     
    It was more than two hours later when Nicolette was finished explaining her report. Once she finished she paused to answer questions by Dmitry, Olga and Yuri. Of course to be honest Dmitry just wanted this meeting to be over so that he could to Nicolette out for that drink he’d promised
