What can I say? I get horny watching him work out. He doesn’t complain, so I guess he’s okay with me stealing some of his time.
They see Roman and freeze in mid-step.
I love how everyone is surprised
I’m slightly confused by their behavior, because I didn’t expect anyone to know about my existence.
“Why are you whispering?” “I don’t know,” I whisper again. “Why is everybody watching us?” “Who cares,” he says, grabs my chin, and kisses me.
and she realizes I have no intention of letting her go. Ever.
She looks so fragile, my Nina, but looks can be deceiving.
“You should get some counseling, Roman. This foot fetish is getting out of hand.”
I love nina lmfao
“I’m in love with you, Roman.” I close my eyes for a second and squeeze her tightly. It’s like everything around me stopped. “Then we share the same problem, malysh.” I say into her neck, and feel her go still next to me. When I raise my head and look at her, her lips are slightly quivering, and there are tears in the corners of her eyes. “That six-month deal? It’s off, Nina,” I say and squeeze her waist. “I don’t care what we agreed. You’re mine now and I’m not letting you go. Ever.”
“Promise me, or I’m taking you home and tying you to my bed until you do.”
The only thing I want, is you. Can I have you, please?” “You already have me, malysh.”
Whatever it takes, I’m getting to that damn cane, because I want to be able to hold her hand in mine when I’m taking her to dinner, or even just for a walk.
“We need to try again. That bastard is walking,” Leonid says.
“I found her,” the voice from the other side says. “Prepare the money transfer.” The call disconnects.
EXCUSE MEE?
“You’re never again leaving the house without me,” he whispers in my ear. “Never.”
“Got it, kotik.” I close my eyes and shake my head. “You do not call a Russian pakhan ‘kitten’, Nina. I have an image to uphold here.”
God, I was scared shitless tonight. Without a word from him, I was afraid something bad happened.
I have a feeling Roman simply isn’t accustomed to having people being concerned for his well-being.
“When a man enters the picture, and it will happen eventually, make sure I never find out, Maxim.”
“Other than you taking away most of my stuff, no.” “I wanted only their building destroyed. You brought enough explosive to blow up half a continent.”
“Your father would never kill a man because of me, you know.” “Well, that’s a good thing, Mom.” “No, honey. It isn’t,” she says and leaves the apartment.
He beat her, even while she was pregnant with Roman. When Roman was five, he started confronting his father on purpose so Lev would take out his anger on him instead of Nastya. It worked for a few months. Until it didn’t. A few days before Roman’s sixth birthday, Lev hit Nastya so hard that she fell down the stairs. Roman watched.”
I am not ok.
She took my black heart with her the day she left, and if she says no, she can keep it. I’m ruined for anyone else anyway.
I feel my lips curl up in a smile. I am so fucking in love with my crazy little wife. “I love you,” I whisper, slide the rings onto her finger, then grab her face and kiss her.
“I thought you were going to tell me something important, like how you offed Igor while I was away. Christ, baby.”
“I will be killing anyone who dares to hurt you,” I whisper. “I’ll just make sure you don’t find out next time.”
“There is nothing ridiculous about my fear for your safety. I still can’t forget the day when the bastard Leonid hired tried to kill you. You have no idea what that one hour of not knowing if you were hurt or dead did to me. I will not go through that again.”
“Do you have any idea what it does to me, feeling you go still with fear beneath me, watching the panic in your eyes? It guts me every time. Please don’t ask me to keep hurting you. I can’t bear it.”
“You bewitched me, my little flower. That night, at the party where we supposedly met, I wanted to kiss you the moment you told me you were not a poodle.”
“I love you so much, I would burn the fucking world for you.” Our lips almost touch. “You created a monster, Nina, because there is nothing I wouldn’t do. You only need to ask.”
“I will never do you any harm. I’d rather chop off my own hand. Please come back to me. You know what a wreck I am without you, malysh.” A tear escapes when I open my eyes and look at him—my big bad husband, who’s watching me with concern.
“And if I can walk afterward, you will face consequences.”
I feel her hair tingling my shoulder as she bends and whispers in my ear. “I’m pregnant.”
Ok i actually was not expecting that
“What the hell happened to that extremely composed man you claimed to be?” “Gone.” I kiss the crown of her head. “We’re canceling the fitting and going to a doctor for a checkup right away.”
“She’ll never have a boyfriend with your crazy self around, Roman.” “Of course, she will. When she’s fifty.” I move my hand between our bodies to place my palm over Nina’s stomach. “I love you so much.” “I love you too, my dangerous kotik.”
