Her Volkovs #Book 1

Chapter 8

Belle's POV

My eyes flickered from the small amount of sunlight peeking through the curtains. I was awakened by a

familiar scent from behind me. I wanted to move but a tattooed arm is wrapped around my belly. I can

also feel someone breathing on my nape. I panicked and quickly removed the arm from me. I struggle

to find something to protect myself with. I was able to grab an alarm clock.

"Hey what's wrong?" It's Nikolai, he still looks sleepy and tired. It was however too late as I was able to

hurl the alarm clock towards his head before I could even realize that it was him. Dammit, I hit him like

a pro!

"Ow!" Nikolai exclaimed. Oh god, he looked seriously hurt.

"Oh my gosh." I quickly ran towards him. "I am so sorry Nikolai. You startled me, I didn't know it was

you. Oh my gosh you are bleeding."

"It's okay. Good morning baby." He said while looking at me with a smile on his face. Oh Nikolai, I have

hurt you and all but you still manage to be sweet.

"Where's your medicine kit?"

"Over there at the cabinet to the right. The bottom case."

When I opened the bottom case I see a gun and beside it is a small pouch with a green cross on it. I

quickly grabbed the kit and paced back to Nikolai. We are now sitting face to face on the corner of the

bed. The blood is dripping from his left side of the forehead down to his cheek. I took a generous

amount of cotton and put it directly into the wound.

"Here put pressure on it to stop the bleeding." I took his hand and guided it to the right spot. "There." I

can see from the corner of my eye that Nikolai was staring at me but I did not let it bother me, I went

back to unwrapping the gauze and the bandage. I was able to put a stop to the bleeding and cleaned

the wound. I also wiped clean the blood on his left cheek.

Now that my panic is gone I noticed that Nikolai is wearing a white cotton shirt and dark blue boxers.

His hair looked disheveled but it still suits him well.

Does this mean we slept together last night? Was I that tired that I didn't even notice him cuddle me all

night?

"Come here." He signaled me to sit on his lap. Suddenly I feel the blood rush to my face. I wrapped my

arms around his neck while I try to gaze down in embarrassment.

"You were ignoring me last night."

I did not even try to deny it I just stayed quiet. I dare not to look at his eyes. I didn't know what to say.

"I was right to worry because from what I have heard, you got yourself into trouble again." Nikolai said

so gently.

"Alexei is really talkative." I retorted. It made Nikolai laugh from his stomach.

"What am I going to do with you?" He said, while wrapping his arms around me.

"I miss you." Is all I can answer.

He removed me from his embrace and he slowly lowered me to bed. "Look me in the eyes baby."

Nikolai is now on top of me. He slowly lowered his head to kiss me. The feeling was just like the first

time. It is surreal.

"You're mine. These lips are mine." Nikolai said while giving me small kisses. "Ya lyublyu tebya."

"Hmm?" I murmured, trying to figure out what he just said to me but he just softly chuckles in response.

Nikolai's body pressed me even harder to his bed. He then cups my face and landed a long sweet kiss

on my lips. "You have no idea how much I want you.."

I feel like suffocating as the weight of his body squishes me hard against the bed.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Uhmm, I can't breathe Nikolai." I swear I feel like I'm turning purple already.

"Oh shit, I'm sorry." He releases me from his tight arms and he rose to his knees. "Are you okay?"

"Uhuh."

While I still lay on his bed, I notice his tattoo peeking outside his collar down to his right arm reaching to

his wrist.

"Enjoying the view yet?" He said teasingly.

"Ha! I can ask you the same question, sir!"

"Hahaha, trust me I have been enjoying since last night."

I gasped in horror. "What do you mean? What did you do to me?"

He crossed his arms and acted arrogantly. "What can I do, when I got home I found sleeping beauty on

my bed. It's the opportunity of the lifetime."

"Nikolai! What did you do!" I said, almost yelling at him.

"Hahaha! Knock knock."

"Seriously? I was asking you a question Nikolai Vyacheslav Volkov!"

"Just humor me Mary Arabella Galves."

"How did you know my full name? I don't have social media accounts and I'm sure as hell I didn't tell

you that information."

"I have ways." He quickly brushed off my question and pinned both my hands tight to the bed

effectively immobilizing me.

"Knock knock."

I let out a sigh of defeat. "Fine! Who's there?"

"The man who placed a hickey somewhere on your body." He suddenly unpinned my hands and went

to the bathroom.

I opened my mouth in disbelief. "What!?! You're lying! And by the way, that's not how a knock knock

joke works!"

I looked at the mirror and inspected my body for any sign of hickey but I see none. He's bluffing.

He went out of the bathroom and sat on the chair directly behind me. I can see his reflection in the

mirror and he's smirking like a puppy. Suddenly his phone rang and he went to the other side of his Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

room near the windows.

"Set the meeting before lunch." He then closed the call.

I am now scanning the room looking for my bra. It's around here somewhere.

"What are you looking for?"

"Uhh.. something private."

"Like this?" He's holding my black lace balconette bra on his right hand.

"Give it to me."

My mouth parted in horror when he puts my bra on his nose and sniffs it like a maniac.

"Nikolai! You're sick!" I yelled at him but he ignores me and continues to sniff it like it's some kind of a

drug.

"Hmmmmm. You're right baby, I'm sick. Lovesick."

I just shook my head at him. "What time is it?"

"It's almost nine."

"What?! Oh my gosh I have to go." I run my fingers through my hair and collected my hair to a messy

bun.

"Have breakfast with me first? My head aches." He's pointing at the bandage on his forehead. I can't

believe he's using the guilt card right now.

"I promise I'll make it up to you. Now hand me my bra."

"No! Why are you in a hurry anyway?"

"It's Sawyer, I'm sure he's been expecting me like two hours ago."

Nikolai's mood suddenly changed. Geeez.

"I want you to stop with whatever you're doing with that Sawyer."

"Nikolai, Sawyer needs my help. And besides, Lorraine, his mum would be arriving today from the trip. I

won't be spending as much time with him anymore. And I will start teaching at St. Mary's tomorrow so

you don't have to act all grumpy about Sawyer."

"I still don't want you to see him from now on."

Alexei must have told Nikolai about his encounter with Sawyer last night. Dammit Alexei! Sawyer is just

a lonely kid. I'm sure he didn't mean a single word that he said about me.

"We'll talk about this later, I promise. Now my bra please? Unless you want me to go downstairs bra

less"

"Put this on." He handed it to me at once.

"Good boy. Now turn around I'm just gonna put this on, no peeking!" I scolded him.

"What, no way!" Said Nikolai like a stubborn child.

I looked at him sternly. Nikolai lets out a sigh and finally gave in. I gave him a kiss hoping it would

somehow ease him down.

"I have to go."

"If you will not do it. I will have to do it my way." Nikolai sounded certain. I ignored his words. I'll deal

with him later. As of now, Sawyer must have been starving and most importantly he has to take his

meds on time.
