The seven’s obsession

Starting a new routine

Waking up feeling more well rested than the day before assuming it’s because of the day I had with Dmitri and knowing I have a friend here puts my mind at easy. I push the duvet back sliding out of the bed and head for the bathroom to shower and start my day. After I head to the closet picking my attire for the day settling for a white bustier pleated dress with floral print and a frill trim. Taking one last look in the mirror at one of the dresses Dmitri and I had gotten yesterday on our adventure. Making sure I’m dressed appropriately I turn to head down stair to the kitchen wondering which of his brothers will be here today. I hope they are all as kind as Viktor and Dmitri, as I enter the kitchen Viktor is coming out, just in time to not fun right into him “Good morning Ellie, How did you sleep” Looking to him “I slept very well, thank you for asking. Will you be the one here with me today?” “No I was just heading out, I have a meeting I have to attend this morning. I believe Nikolai will be here with you today If you should need anything he will be around. He is most likely in the gym this morning, but feel free to explore and do whatever you’d like as I’ve said make yourself at home. I should only be a few hours and I’ll check on you then but I’d better be going” giving him a greatful smile “ Thank you Viktor, I hope you have a great day at work.” Moving aside for him to pass me a seductive woodsy scent hits my nose make my mouth water. I internally shake myself out of it continuing to the fridge to find something to eat. Ultimately settling for an apple I go set on the stool, wondering what exactly it is that they do for work. I really should get to know them all a bit better if I’m going to be staying here for a while. So finishing up my apple throwing the core in the trash, I grab a water from the fridge and decide to explore. I spend some time looking around this place is absolutely exquisite I’m hoping to find a library or maybe even a piano but to no avail all I have found are many rooms with nothing interesting in them. Which really makes me wonder what these guys do for a living, their home is as big as the estates as i’ve lived in if not bigger. What would they need all these rooms for anyhow? I come to the end of another hall and open the door freezing in my tracks. Unintentionally holding my breath at the sight of the half naked man lying before me on a bench lifting weights. He is absolutely exceptional not a imperfection anywhere on his perfectly chiseled body. If I didn’t know any better I’d think I was look at a Greek God, as he lifts the weight with ease his biceps bulg and his abbs pertrude I could lick the sweat that is dripping from him. What the hell Ellie pull yourself together you just kissed his brother yesterday what are you thinking. I finally exhale the breath I hadn't realized I was holding turning to leave feeling flustered and thankful he hadn’t noticed I was just meat hawking him.” “You dont have to leave, your more than welcome to stay and continue to watch honest I dont mind it actually make me work harder.” My face immediately set a blaze, how did he see me he never have looked my way. I turn to him “ I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to ogle or intrude it’s just I have never been around a man that….” I trail off riddled with embarrassment. He puts the bar back in it’s place jumping up and making his way to me ”A half naked man? You’ll get used to it living with seven of us you bound to see it quite often.” He chuckles. I look down as he stop in front of me and wrapping his sweat arm his are around my shoulders pulling me further in the gym even drenched in sweat he smells delicious “ Really there no need to be embarrassed if I wasn’t a dude and saw a handsome fellow such as myself I’d be awe stuck too.” I let out a giggle, He leans back looking down at me with a joking smile “ What’s so funny I was serious its about time someone other than me appreciates my damn fine physique” I genuinely can’t help but let out a Burt of laughter this time “ You’re quite full of your self aren’t you?” He looks to me with a soft smile the winks at me “Nah I just know my worth but really I would love for you to stay. I need a new workout partner the guys normally alternate out with one another but with the new work schedule it’ll be just me, that is unless you’ll be my new partner?” I haven’t ever really been one to work out but I guess that’s because that wasn’t apart of become a lady and wife of a Don. Noticing my hesitation Nikolai speaks up “ What do ya say Ellie, it will be fun!” f**k it, I won’t know if I like it unless I give it a try and I doing for the simple fact that I want to try and I can quit if I want makes me want to do it even more. “ Sure, when would you like to start?” “Now, we will just have to get you out of that dress” stoping me in my tracks, he snickers “ I mean you can’t work out in that” pointing to my dress “unless you’d like to show off your lady bits in the process? If that’s the case you will have no objections from me I'm a firm believer in sharing beautiful bodies amongst beautiful people, no shame here.” Giving him a bit of a warning look “No thank you” giving me a smart assy grin and I can’t help but blush “Okay, then I’d suggest we get you in the proper work out attire” then it downs on me “ Umm I went shopping yesterday and got some cloths but none of which I thing will be appropriate” leaning back looking at me he folds his arm and with the opposite hand he grabs his chin as if thinking “Follow me I believe I may have something may fit you.” We exit the gym weaving our way though the house he doesn’t say much as we walk while h is texting on his phone. Not that I mind, it gives me a moment to mentally prepair myself for what come nexts next. I wouldn’t consider myself out of shape but I’ve never actively worked out and especially not with a man who is a definite distraction I’m going to have to get my s**t together. I can do this he is just a man no big deal I am going to have to learn how to keep myself reeled in especially since I’ll be living with seven of them not quite sure what the duration of my stay here will be. With all of them being absolutely delicious to look at and learning their different personalities which so far have been equally attractive as their looks I will have to be careful. Making my own choices if so freeing but It comes at a price, Just in the last t days I have had so many feelings I've never experienced before. I dont want to mess up because that could be detrimental when my father comes for me. I need to remember this is only temporary, a feeling of dread enters me and I know it’s because I know that I don’t want to let go of my new found freedom and the same part doesnt want to go back to a life where I dont have any choices of my own. Shaking the thought out of my head telling myself I am a mafia princess that is not a luxury I have I need to keep a grip on my reality. I will cross that bridge when it gets here until then I’m going to keep pretending I’m a normal runaway and enjoy my freedom. We come up the stairs to the same floor as my room except instead of going right we take a left and go down the hall until eventually stopping at a door to the left Nikolai pulls some keys from his shorts pocket, placing a key in the lock opening the door he steps in first I linger back for a moment “You can come in, this is my room and I promise not to bite unless you ask me to” something stirs in the pit of my belly and I take a a step through the threshold “ Well that wasn’t really a though that had crossed my mind” the room is masked in his scent as if he wasn’t enough, the aroma is pleasantly intoxicating. Looking around as he digs through what I assume is his closet, his room is not exactly what I had expected, Not that I really know what I was expecting because I have never actually seen a guys room before not even Lorenzo’s. Realizing that this is the first time I have ever been In a guys room period. Take another step further into the room, I guess with his light since of humor I just wasn’t expecting his room to be so dark, the walls are a lighter gray color than his bedspread which is more of a charcoal grey his bed is a low profile platform bed that looks to be made of real wood but it’s also a charcoal grey color that matches the rest of his furniture room. Nikolai Exits the closet “I could have sworn I had some of my old shorts in here somewhere” he proceeds digging through one of his dresser drawers “ Hey Ellie ,would you go look through the top drawer of the dresser on the right side of my bed please, while I go put these cloths back up? There should be some red shorts in there to fit you.” He walks back in his closet with a hand full of cloths. “Sure” I walk to the right side of his bed there are two dressers I go to the one closest to his bed and pull the top drawer open. Pausing unsure what the hell any of this stuff is there are some chain looking things, something that looks like a collar for a dog and a couple of other silicone objects that I can’t really explain. Startled by Nikolai sliding in front of my pushing the drawer closed “Not that top drawer малышка, that’s the beside dresser, I meant the actual dresseser on the wall. I am sorry I should have specified” Still standing in the same place embarrassed and so confused, Nikolai makes his way to the other dresser pulling the top drawer open and low and behold there are the red shorts. He turns around and the confusion must be evident on my face because he leans against the dresser “Ask?” Even more confused I c**k my head to the side not sure what he means still lost in my head “huh?” Smirking at me ” Ask me whatever it is that has those gears turning in the pretty head of yours that has you confused?” The only question that comes to mind that I feel won’t embarrass me any farther “I didn’t know you guys had a dog, why haven’t I seen it? I love animals” He burst into a fit laughter holding his stomach. Suddenly I get the strange feeling that they indeed do not have a dog. My Cheaks burn red hot, I’m not sure if it’s from embarrassment or the anger of being blatantly laughed at. Crossing my arms looking down becoming self conscious in my own skin. He stops laughing and step in front of me placing his hand on my chin make me look up at him. “I am not laughing at you малышка, I’m laughing at how refreshing your innocence is and to answer your question no we do not have a dog, if we did I’m sure it would love you too.” Trying to look back down but the gentle grip of his hand won’t allow me to “ask me принцесса?” he says. “If you don’t have a dog the what is it for?” A devious smile spreads across his face “ I will put it nicely since I don’t want to be the one to taint you innocence. I use everything in that drawer on weman that I sleep with. Don’t get the wrong idea I don’t do anything that to them they don’t ask me for, Non-consintual isn’t really my style. Do you have any other questions for me?” Taken aback and even more confused than I was to begin with “Nope.” I think I have asked enough questions pertaining to this subject for today. Releasing me from his grasp “okay, Now that that’s cleared up lets get back to the gym.” He grabs a shirt from the bed and hand both the short and shirt to me “get changed and meet me back in the gym. You think you can find your way back or do you need me to wait?” “I should be fine finding my way back I’ll meet you there.” We leave his room and part ways at the top of the stairs, I go to my room and change into the clothes he has given me the shorts surprising fit surely these haven’t fit him since he was fourteen. I slid into the shirt next, now this makes more since it hangs almost like a mini dress on me. I throw my hair in a bun and head for the gym. Once I make it back to the gym the remainder of the day is pretty uneventful. Nikolai shows me how to use some of the equipment and we start defencive training which is something he is apparently an expert on. Who knows one day it may come in handy, after we finish with that we go to the kitchen and eat lunch together. We have small talk and aside from him being a conceded smart ass he is actually a good listener. I told him I like to read in my spare time, so after lunch he showed me the library telling me he was going to shower and had a couple of things he needed to take care of but he wouldn’t be far if I needed him. I look though the massive library they have once I’m alone running my fingers along the spines of the books until I find one and take a seat in the red armchair in the corner and begin to read. Lost in the novel that I’m am reading I’m jolted back to reality by a hand touching my shoulder. I did’t even hear anyone enter I look up to see it’s only Viktor “Nikolai said you might still be in here I just wanted to come check on you an let you know dinner is ready” the mention of food had my stomach rumbling, ”thank you, I must have lost track of time while I was reading.” I close the book and follow Viktor to the kitchen where everyone is already seated waiting for me. “Sorry to keep everyone waiting” all of them tell me it’s fine in unison, all except for Aleksandr he doesn’t speak at all and he is already eating. We take our seats and enjoy dinner, I wander why Aleksandr is so grumpy all the time. I don’t think I have ever even heard him speak and if I had it was most definitely not to me. After I finish up, I asking if they need any help with cleaning up. Viktor politely declines my offer, so I say my good nights excusing myself. I am exhausted from the day and I'm in desperate need of a shower and a good nights rest so resign to my room doing just that.
