Nikolai

Chapter 5

Nikolai

I didn’t think it was possible to hate my father more than I already did. How f*****g wrong I was about that. No. I wanted his blood on my hands and his head on a silver platter. I would feed him to Lucifer, or I would let my tiger have some fun with him first. I haven’t quite decided yet.

I opened my sister’s closet and pulled out a pair of sweats and a grey shirt. I looked into the bathroom and Lydia looked up through bloodshot eyes. “These are Anna’s, should fit you. I’ll just be right outside the door.”

I laid the clothes on the sink and slipped out to give her some privacy. Sure, I’d seen her body before. This was different though, she’d just gone through hell. My father had violated her in the worst possible way. My head snapped up when I heard the door open. Lydia walked over to the bed and laid down. I sat at the edge of the bed and pushed her hair out of her face. “If I leave you alone, are you going to hurt yourself again?”

She shook her head and shivered. “I won’t.”

I grabbed the blanket at the foot of the bed and covered her trembling body. “I have to go take care of something, but I’ll be back later. Anna will stay with you until I get back. Vladimir will be right outside the door. Then, I’ll take you to my room, so you get something in your stomach.”

She nodded as I placed a kiss on her temple. Right on time, my sister strolled in with Luka at her side. “Anna, stay here while I take care of some things. Vladimir will be right outside the door.”

Vladimir nodded as Anna shut the door. I pointed my finger at him and ordered him. “Make sure you check on them every ten minutes. Also search the room for any sharp objects. Don’t need her cutting herself again.”

Luka gave me a curious glance as we walked away and nervously chewed on his lip. “There’s something you need to see, but I’m not sure how you’re going to react to it.”

“Just f*****g tell me.” It couldn’t be any worse than what already happened.

He hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. “There was a video that was delivered from your father.”

I froze and blinked trying to process what he just said. I couldn’t speak or move. The bastard taped the entire f*****g thing. I gripped my head with my hands not wanting to believe it. “No, no, no! Not to my Lydia.”

“That’s not the worst of it. The video is being distributed throughout every club in the area and even online. I managed to get it before anyone could watch it at your club. There were thousands of copies. Giovanni was informed and destroyed what he could. There are still some out there somewhere.”

“f**k! I’ll kill him.” I punched the wall next to Luka’s head. I was beyond pissed off that father had touched her, but even angrier that he recorded it. “Find this James. I am going to have a little chat.” My lips curled up forming a sadistic grin.

“On it.” Luka stepped out and my mind was already thinking of all the ways I would torture James. I want him to feel the pain he inflicted on her beautiful skin.

Popping the DVD in the laptop, I pressed play and watched angrily as the scene unfolded. They had her bent over the desk, bare from the waist down. Her mouth had been taped shut and tears in her eyes. My father stepped behind her and hissed in her ear. “I’m going to f**k you the way Nikolai f****d me.”

My fists were clenched with my knuckles turning white and my breathing sped up. I swiped everything off my desk shattering the laptop. I closed my eyes in attempt to calm down. All it did was make me angrier than I’d ever been in my whole life. “Boss, are you okay?”

Luka leaned down with a concerned look. “Did you find him?”

He smirked and ran downtown through his hair. “Stupid bastard showed up at one of the clubs downtowns, so I told the owner to knock him out and bring him here. They should be here shortly. Do I need to prepare Lucifer?”

“No, this fucker is mine. Let me know when they arrive.”

A soft knock brought me out of my thoughts. I already knew it was Lydia before he even opened it up. He shot me a glance that said he was taking his leave. She still had on the clothes I’d given her earlier with her hair up in a messy bun. “I-I didn’t mean to interrupt. Maybe I should go.”

“No,” I blurted out a little too fast. “I mean you don’t have to.” I rushed to her and wrapped my arms around her waist.

I felt her body freeze up, but then slowly relaxed. Leading her to the sofa, I pulled on my lap. She laid her head on my chest and looked up. She frowned when she spotted the dry blood on my knuckles. “You’re bleeding.”

Tracing her bandaged wrist, I murmured. “Only for you, my love.”

She brought a finger over my bottom lip and traced it. “You should let me clean that up, so it doesn’t get infected.”

What is this f*****g woman doing to me right now? It’s like she has the power to pull me into her trance. Like she’s hypnotizing me. I feel a twitch in my pants as I let her guide me to the bathroom. She took a rag and wet it under the faucet. I closed the toilet and sat down as she straddled me. I winced when the damp cloth stung my cuts. “Sorry.”

I kept my eyes on her and watched as she wiped the dried-up blood off my hand. She finished cleaning my wound and placed the rag on the sink. Our eyes connected and that’s when she slammed her lips on mine. The kiss was took taken and fire, just like her. Her arms wrapped around the back of my neck and mine cupped her face. I wanted her so bad, but not l take to this. Not while she was in pain. It was too soon. I pulled away still cupping her face. “Wait. I want you so f*****g bad right now, but not like this. You’re still hurting.”

Her hands went to unbuckle my belt, but I stopped her and shook my head. “Please.”

She, knew what that f*****g did to my d**k and here she goes saying the one thing that makes me rock hard. A knock at the door makes her freeze up. “Hey man, he’s ready.”

“We will talk about this when I get done with business. I promise if you tell me I'm hurting you, I’ll f**k you later. Deal?”

“Ok. It’s a deal.” Luka, you just saved my ass.

I stood in the basement with my blood boiling as he struggled against the rope. No matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to break free. His arms were bound to the armrest and his ankles strapped to the bottom of the chair. “James,” I spat and narrowed my eyes. “I’ve dying to have a little chat with you.”

“f**k you!” He glared up at me, but when he saw what I had just picked up he fought against the restraints.

“You hurt Lydia and now you need to pay for it. I’m not going to kill you right away. I want to watch you suffer the same way you did to her.” I laughed harshly and picked up the bolt cutters.

He squirmed when Luka stuffed a dirty rag in his mouth and duct taped his mouth shut. All he could get out was muffled profanities and failed screams. I angled the cutters over his pinkie and snipped it right off. Blood poured out, but that didn’t stop me. I kept on going until all his digits had been cut off. It still didn’t take back the fact he harmed my woman, but it did satisfy me knowing he was in pain. Tears ran down his face and sweat dripped from his forehead as he tried to speak. “What was that, I can’t understand a thing your pathetic ass is saying. Luka, take the rag out and let’s see what he is rambling about.”

Luka ripped the tape off and James spit the rag out. He growled out in anger. “My father is going to f*****g kill you for this! And for what, all over some f*****g w***e that can’t keep her legs…”

He didn’t get anything else out because I aimed the gun on the table next to me and shot him in the head without hesitation. His head fell back, and he stopped struggling. I hadn’t intended for his death to come so quick, but he gave me no choice. He insulted my Lydia and for that he had to suffer the consequences. “Box up the fingers and send it to my father. Make sure to put a note that says hello to dear old father. Feed his body to the shark.”

Luka winced when I mentioned the shark I’d acquired a few months back. At first, I was hesitant to get it, but I thought it would come in handy. I was right. It was easier getting rid of the body. One down, just two more to go. Mikhail and Connor, you’re next. I’m coming for you both. I removed my gloves and threw them in the trash. Luckily, I hadn’t gotten a drop of blood on my suit. I didn’t want Lydia or my sister asking questions to why I was bloody. They both knew I was mafia boss, so I don’t know why they have to question me. They already knew the answer to that.

I walked in my room and sighed when I see Lydia had fallen asleep on my bed. Slipping off my jacket, I loosened my tie and slid it over my head. I let it fall to the floor and unbuttoned my shirt leaving me in just my slacks. I kicked my shoes off and laid down next to her bringing her close to my chest. This f*****g woman made me do things I never thought I would ever do. Made my heart feel things I thought was only a fantasy. Something you only read in books.

Lydia was mine.

Mine to protect.

Mine to f**k.

She was my queen and I was her king.

If only I could get to get over the fact that I was her best friend’s brother, then maybe I could make her mine for good.

“Nikolai?” Her velvety voice whispered.

“Go back to sleep, I’ll be here when you wake up.” Kissing her neck, I muttered to her.

“Mmm, that feels so good. Don’t stop.” She moaned making that twitch come back to me. Grinding her hips against my c**k, I groaned at how she could make me harder than hell in less than five seconds.

“Lydia, if you don’t stop I might explode before I even get started.” I held her tighter trying to get her to stop, but it wasn’t any use. She was much like me, when I know I want I know what I want.

She twisted around with our faces just inches apart and brushed her lips against mine. “Please, make me forget.”

I closed the space and kissed her and claiming her once again. All the blood had rushed down to my c**k by the time she straddled me. We were both out of breath when we pulled apart. “Let me know if I’m hurting you, okay?”

She kissed my lips once and nodded. “I promise, now make me forget about all the horrible things.”
