You have saved me again

KATYA"You really scared me, you know that?"My voice cracked as I helped Nikolai down the hallway.For someone who could terrify an entire room with a single look, he suddenly felt very human and fragile. I could tell that terrified him so much, but it terrified me even more because I had seen the effects of him not being there.To think he had saved my life three different times now was totally surreal to me. I wasn't sure what I had done to deserve that. But I knew one thing right now, which was that I was unbelievably happy he was alive.Nikolai pushed the door to his room open."Inside." He said, as I followed him and he locked the door behind us. I glanced around, as Nikolai slowly lowered himself onto one of the chairs.He looked absolutely exhausted.“That reminds me,” I said, “What kind of allergies do you have?” “Well…”“It is obvious that the kitchen staff doesn’t know about it as well and it is something that they definitely should know.” I said, "Katya…""No, listen."

We need to talk

"I want to see your boss." Sergei said as he casually strolled into the clubhouse where the Crimson Order usually gathered.A dozen pairs of eyes turned toward him almost immediately, as the men stationed throughout the building immediately straightened as they sized him up. Some leaned against crates. Others stood near weapon racks or folding tables littered with maps and ammunition. Every one of them looked dangerous.The largest among them stepped forward. He was built like a tank, with thick arms and a shaved head covered in scars."You got a death wish?" he asked.Sergei smiled faintly."No."His gaze swept lazily across the room."I simply have better things to do than explain myself to hired muscle."The giant's expression darkened in rage."Watch your mouth."“Like I said before,” Sergei looked at him, "I'd like to speak with your boss."The man's jaw tightened."And I'd like a private island."A few chuckles echoed through the room, while Sergei remained unmoved.“It is in yo

Part truth?

NIKOLAI "You are staring again."Katya's voice pulled me from my thoughts.I looked up from the armchair positioned beside the fireplace and found her sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a book balanced in her lap.A small smile tugged at her lips."What?" I frowned."What do you mean, 'What?'""You have been staring at me for the last five minutes.""I have not.""You absolutely have.""I was thinking." I replied, as my eyes narrowed.Her grin widened.“I wonder what about.”Arrogant little thing.Somehow, in the days since my near death, she had become increasingly bold. Not that I could entirely blame her. I had admittedly relaxed some of the restrictions surrounding her. Allowing her to move around the house more freely and all.The doctor claimed I was recovering better than he expected me to.In fact, every doctor who had examined me since the attack seemed baffled that I was still alive.The poison should have killed me. That much was certain. And yet somehow I had survived.

You are going to regret this

NIKOLAI"Oh, this is shocking." Lily's voice dripped with sarcasm as she stepped into my study.Lily glanced around the room before fixing her gaze on me, as a cold smile spread across her face."You still require my presence?" she asked. "Have you gotten tired of your little toy that quickly?"Her snide jokes normally might have earned nothing more than annoyance from me, but today, it took considerable effort not to put a bullet through the wall beside Lily's head. Sergei had told me to be calm about things, so I was going to try my best do that. "Sit down." I said, the seriousness fully in my tone.Lily noticed I wasn’t in the mood for games and slowly sat down. The silence stretched between us for a couple of seconds as I watched her carefully. "What is this about?" she finally asked, as she crossed her legs. I leaned back in my chair."I recently came into possession of some new information." I said, “And I thought I should share it with you.”Her expression remained neutra

Something up his sleeve

"I should have fucking killed him when I had the chance!" Lily yelledThe vase she just threw exploded against the wall as the ceramic shattered across the apartment floor.Lily stood in the middle of the destruction, chest heaving as rage burned through every part of her body.Another crash echoed through the room now.A picture frame flew from her hand and struck the fireplace.She didn't care about any of this right now. All she could see was Nikolai's face and everything that he had told her. "The engagement is over."“Who the fuck does he think he is to tell me those things?” She said to herself, “After everything I have done for that man.”She had spent years setting herself up to become his wife. Years of sacrifice and loyalty. All for it to be thrown away because he had found a new plaything. "Fuck!"Her voice echoed through the apartment as she paced furiously back and forth. Trying to think and force herself to breath so she doesn’t lose all control. Unfortunately, she

Little Eavesdropper

KATYA Over the past couple of weeks, the library had become my favorite place in the entire estate. It was one of the few places where I could pretend my life wasn't completely insane, and I could get lost in the fantasy world for just a little bit. Escaping this reality fully. I had been really happy when Nikolai sort of relaxed the restrictions concerning my movements, even though it was still a lot some times. I was also happy that his recovery was progressing faster than expected. Apparently, nearly dying had done absolutely nothing to improve his personality. If anything, he had somehow become more overprotective. The man practically had guards following me with their eyes every time I left a room. It was ridiculous. Then again... I couldn't exactly blame him. His paranoia was definitely justified with how crazy the past days had been. Mine definitely was. I rounded a corner and now stopped, as a voice drifted through the hallway. It was low at first, but I could hear

Trapped

KATYA“What are you doing here?” I asked, still standing in the doorway staring at him. “Last I checked, this was my house.” He said,“Right,” I replied, “I just… I thought you'd be in some meeting right now or something."Of all the places I expected to find him, the library wasn't exactly high on the list.Nikolai glanced up from the title he was examining."Normally, I would be." He said, I slowly stepped inside, shutting the door. "Then what happened?"He shrugged."Today I wasn't really in the mood for any of it."It was pretty obvious even now that there was a lot on his mind, and I wondered what it was. Actually, it was quite expected for there to be a lot on his mind, especially considering everything that had happened so far. He placed the book back on the shelf."I simply wanted to clear my head." He finally said, “And the library helps with that.”His gaze drifted toward the endless shelves.“Besides, I had a feeling I would eventually run into you here.” He said,"Oh,

In the Library

KATYA"Do you want me to apologize for that?" he said, as he pulled away from me. For a few seconds, I could barely think. I could barely even breathe at this point, as the words floated above my head. That kiss had blindsided me because I had actually not thought he would do it. I stared up at him now, as his eyes searched mine with that same intensity it always had. Searching for an answer from me. I shook my head.A slow smile spread across his face."Good," he said, his voice dropping lower. "Because I don't think I want to."He started to pull back at that point. And I could basically hear my body groan in protest. Where the fuck did he think he was going after doing that?My body moved before my brain caught up.I grabbed the front of his shirt and yanked him back to me, crushing my mouth against his. I felt his hands tighten around my waist as he pulled me off the shelf and flush against his chest. This kiss wasn’t like the first one at all; which was absolutely amazing s

As you wish

NIKOLAIWhy couldn’t I stop thinking about her?Even now, as I sat in my office, my thoughts were entirely occupied by Katya.It was something that I couldn’t exactly make sense of.I leaned back in my chair and rubbed a hand across my face, as I let out a slow exhale.I had been with women before. Enough that this shouldn't have felt any different.Yet somehow it did. Somehow, Katya had gotten beneath my skin in a way nobody else ever had.I could still picture her smile right now. The way she looked into my eyes whenever she spoke to me, like it was a challenge or something.And her moans. Fuck. The way she yelled out my name while I thrust deep into her.It was all becoming a problem. A very distracting problem.Luckily for me, my phone rang at that moment, temporarily pulling me away from those thoughts."Boss, we might have a problem." One of my men said, as I picked up.I straightened in my chair."What problem?""It concerns Daniel." He said,My expression immediately darkened,

The end of me

KATYAI rolled on the bed one more time, opening my eyes.“Dammit” I mumbled to myself. “Don’t tell me you cannot sleep without him already, Katya.”I frowned now. More at me than anybody, as I stared at Nikolai's side of the bed, which was empty.For a moment, I simply lay there staring at the ceiling.Then a smile found its way onto my face despite myself. A lot had changed recently.If someone had told me a few months ago that I would be willingly lying in bed in a Russian mafia boss's room, wondering where he had disappeared to in the middle of the night, I would have laughed in their face.Yet here I was.And somehow... I was happy.The realization still felt strange to me.Ever since the library, it was like the walls that Nikolai kept around himself seemed to be slowly coming down. I had noticed it for a while now, but I didn’t know for sure.Not completely; I doubted they ever would, but enough for me to see the man behind them.A warmth spread through my chest just thinking a
