Momentarily distracted by me, Zanae seized the opportunity, snatching her laptop from Nikolai’s grasp. She held it up, shooting a victorious grin in his direction. “Got it!”
“Looks like she got you without my help.”
Nikolai shrugged but had this grin on his lips, “I’ll let her have this one. I’m a generous man.”
Zanae approached me and kissed my cheek before going back to the sofa, and Niko and I followed her.
My home never felt like home before, and now that it’s filled with laughter and trust, I realized I was witnessing something I never thought I’d experience when I was younger, the feeling of having a family of my own.
Noticing my persistence in keeping my jacket on, Zanae raised her eyebrow, “Volkov. Why are you still wearing your jacket? It’s pretty warm here.”
I seized the moment provided by Nikolai’s absence to take a call outside, and decided it was time to reveal my little surprise.With a subtle smile playing on my lips, I began to unzip the jacket, exposing the fresh ink on my arm.
Those big amber eyes widened in surprise as the tattoo came into view. It was hers; her eyes gazing back at her from my arm.
“What...?”
Softening my voice, I reached out to gently take her hand placing it on my heart, “I wanted to carry a piece of you with me, always.” I explained, my eyes locked onto hers. “I see my reflection in those eyes, and for the first time, I don’t hate it.”
She didn’t say a thing, and just traced the outline of the tattoo with her fingertips. I couldn’t even look anywhere else other than her face to see her reaction.
I hope she likes it, because I love it and I think it’s my favorite one.
I lift my shirt up and point to the ones on my heart, “This quote you love so much is a note that Ben left me one day when I thought I was going to die. Niko had his place here when he decided to become my friend from the day we were born. And you, my beautifulLittle Nightmare, you’ve become an indelible part of me.”
Her existence marked me like a twisted burn on my soul. The life she brought into this world was my oxygen, making it surreal to think about how she made my madness feel magical.
Her eyes glistened as she took in the significance of the tattoo. She wrapped her arms around me, pulling me into a hug.
10.Affection.
No words were needed, feeling her on me was enough for me to feel so good. Fuck, I am getting soft.
“You’re so talented, Elijah. It’s beautiful.”
I tilted my head when I saw her eyes watering, “I wanted you to know how much of my soul you took. I want you to see this every time I hold you when we sleep, every time I put my handon your thigh when I drive, when I touch you. I want you to feel the power you have over me just by looking at this every time.”
“I want to kiss you so badly right now, Volkov.”
With a smirk, I leaned closer to her, “Show me how badly you want this.”
Her lips pressed immediately on mine. Her arms around my neck, legs parted around mine while she was sitting on my lap. My hands on her hips pushed her closer and closer, I fucking wanted her to enter my fucking skin. The moans she was leaving against my mouth made me so fucking eager of her.
“If you don’t stop moaning in my mouth, I’ll bend you over and fuck you without mercy with Nikolai in the other room, Zanae.”
She smiled at me, her lips swollen, her cheeks flushed, “We can’t do that, I sent a text to Nikolai a few minutes ago, He’s comi?—”
Talking about him, he just stormed in, interrupting her in the middle of her sentence, he swung the door open and practically charged in, eyes wide and mouth open. My beautiful girl, sitting comfortably on my lap, shot him a look full of anticipation and amusement.
“What do you want, Nikolai?” I grumbled, not that thrilled about the interruption.
But he was too wrapped up in his own emotional whirlwind to care about anything else. “Little Z told me about the tattoo! The initials, the eyes, the whole thing!”
This was fast, I didn’t even see her tap the text. These two are going to make me fucking crazy one day.
I just nodded. “Yeah, so what, Niko?”
He rushed over to us. Without any warning, he practically pulled her off my lap to get a better look at the tattoo. Zanae, with tears of laughter in her eyes, watched as Nikolai inspected the artwork like it was some priceless art in a museum.
