~Valentina~
The Vetrovski Estate was nothing like I expected. Actually, scratch that.
It was everything I should have expected.
As Nikolai rolled into the gates of his home, I felt like I had just entered a fortress.
Armed men covered the perimeter and if I didn't know better I would have thought that the Russians were at war. But they weren't and this was just a typical day for the Russians.
We stopped in front of the house and I was surprised when Nikolai walked over to my door and opened it.
I didn't comment on it though. This might just be part of his welcome package.
I quickly took in the house... I meant mansion.
It screamed of old money and had features that showed the Russians weren't lacking were technology was concerned.
The entrance had a large wooden door that was being pushed open.
Viktor poked his head through the ajar doorway and he broke out in a smile when he saw us walking to the entrance.
"Hello to my favorite couple", he said, his eyes locked with Nikolai's.
I laughed under my breath. Viktor reminded me of Mia. It was as if his primary mission on earth was to annoy Nikolai.
"Cut it out, Viktor", Nikolai grumbled, as he walked passed Viktor.
"Hi Viktor", I said with a smile, "It's a relief to finally see a face without a permanent scowl".
Nikolai turned back to glare at me, then continued walking.
" You'll get used to it, trust me. Although, sometimes, if you stare hard enough you'll think he's smiling", Viktor said, as he put an arm around my shoulder and followed us inside.
Nikolai looked back again and glared at Viktor's arm that was around my shoulder.
"Best friend or not, Viktor, if you don't remove your arm from my wife, I'll help you reposition it", Nikolai threatened.
Before Viktor could remove his arm, I held his hand so he couldn't move away.
They both turned to me. Nikolai's glare was now redirected to me and Viktor's eyes held apprehension.
"Why should he remove his arm? It's not like I'm complaining", I said as I glared back at him.
" He should and will remove his arm because he's not your husband. I am. Therefore, you belong to me", he snarled.
I laughed out loud.
"Listen to me, Nikolai. I don't belong to you. I'm not a possession", I said as I released Viktor's hand and walked closer to Nikolai.
I poked his chest as l emphasized my next words, "I. Don't. Belong. To. You".
In less than a second, Nikolai had me over his shoulder and was carrying me up his stairs.
"Put me down", I yelled as I pounded his back, but my words fell on deaf ears.
I looked up and saw Viktor but he just gave me an apologetic look and walked away.
Traitor.
Nikolai didn't stop walking until he pushed through a door at the far end of the hallway.
The room was dimly lit so I couldn't have a good look of the space.
Nikolai closed the door with his foot then placed me in front of it.
I had barely oriented myself when he pressed into me with his knee between my legs. He took my two hands in one of his and held it above my head.
"Valentina", he all but growled, "You are testing my patience".
He was so close to me, I could barely think. His scent and raw masculinity consumed me and I was ashamed of the heat that bloomed in my lower abdomen. I was painfully aware of where his knee was pressed up against and I prayed to the heavens so that I wouldn't grind against it.
"Nikolai", I crooked, my throat suddenly felt dry.
"What is it, Solnyshko? Cat got your tongue?", he asked mockingly.
I glared at him. I would have reprimanded him for using that nickname again but I was too wound up. My treacherous body reacted to him. I knew it and so did he and that annoyed me even more.
"I don't answer to you, Nikolai. I can touch any man I want to. Whether you like it or not", I seethed.
I hardly finished talking when his knee pushed into my s*x. My hands instantly flew to his shoulder, and I held on for dear life so I wouldn't grind against his leg. I had never known this kind of torture existed. Even the strength and contour of his shoulders taunted me.
"We haven't had time to talk about some things, Solnyshko", he started talking but I cursed out when I felt him grind his knee against my s*x.
"Nikolia—"
"I'm not done talking, Solnyshko", he said and I glared at him but I knew the glare didn't hold much heat. I was so distracted by the sensations that racked through my body. I bit my lips so that unhinged sounds didn't spill out.
"You are my wife, Solnyshko, therefore your loyalty is to me and no other", he said as his knew ground faster into my s*x. My head fell into his shoulder so he wouldn't see how good I felt but I knew the wet patch that was most definitely on his leg was already a good enough sign.
"Nikolai", I moaned and I heard Nikolai let out a humorless chuckle. Anger and embarrassment sourged through me at my lack of control.
I hated Nikolai immediately. I had never felt this way for a man before. Not even for Adam. My body was so heated meanwhile Nikolai was so calm and collected.
"Get off me, Nikolai", I said but my hands held on tight to his shoulders as I chased a high I had never known before.
"You are so beautiful when you aren't being defiant, Solnyshko. You shouldn't touch other men or even talk about them", he said as he stroked my hair and his words were like a wake up call.
My hand fell to his groin and delight filled me to see he was evidently hard. I grabbed him through his pants and stroked him.
Since the day I understood the concept of gender, I had never seen a man move away from me and fast as Nikolai did.
"What the f**k", Nikolai cursed at me.
"What's the matter, Nikky", I mocked, "You didn't want the service to be returned. Trust me I know my way around the male body. You can ask all my exs".
I only had one ex but he didn't know that since he glared at me and raked his hand through his hair.
"Trust me, Valentina, you don't want to make me your enemy", he said as he adjusted himself in his pants but even that couldn't hide his bulge.
"Nikolai, in case you didn't do your research, let me make something clear. I am not a weak woman. We are obviously attracted to each other", I said as I eyed his bulge, "but don't you dare mistake that for weakness".
He glared at me then moved me away from the door and left the room.
I let out a breath and sat on the bed.
My s*x still throbbed but I ignored it and smiled to myself.
Me- 1, Nikolai- 0.
I entered the closet and and brought out a baggy shirt and my sleep shorts.
I took a long satisfying shower then got into bed.
I was barely asleep when I heard a loud crash.
