Sofia.
Nadei kissed the spot behind my ear, my moan was muffled by Nial's lips. He pushed his tongue in tasting every single spot in my mouth tangling our tongues together his caressing mine hungrily.
No. Why the hell wasn't I stopping this?
Feeling myself getting lost in the feel of Nial's soft, addictive and devourable full lips and Nadei's small sucking and kissing on my nape. I didn't fail to notice another pair of lips moving my shirt to the side to get attached to my jaw and collarbone kissing, licking and sucking my supple skin.
My knees buckled ever so lightly from the amount of pleasure I was feeling and Nikolai's arms gripping my waist brought me back to earth. What the fuck?
I finally gathered what's left of common sense in me and quickly pulled away from Nial to push away myself out of their possessive grip. I glared at them before directly meeting their eyes just to be startled by the lovey-dovey awe-struck look on their stupidly gorgeous faces.
Making me even more confused and look at each one of them before asking them still shocked, "What a-are you guys doing? Don't fucking touch me," I shrunk backwards.
Nadei made me face all three of them, an affectionate look in his eyes as he held onto my unwilling hand.
"Let. Go."
"Don't fight it, princess. You're ours to touch, ours to kiss and ours to love. We'd never hurt or pain you in any way," he whispered holding onto my enclosed hand like a lifeline.
I took a shaky step back grasping my hand back as if burnt. I gasped and felt horrified by his claim.
"Y-y-ours?" I whispered truly scared of their true intentions and praying to the gods above that they won't take away, forcefully the only thing that they didn't when I was tormented and abused in that hellhole
My innocence.
They won't hurt me or force me, they could've before, right? but they didn't. They won't do anything without my consent? They surely were not that kind of monsters? I mean I really hoped that they weren't.
Seeing how their eyes effectively darkened looking at me with heavy lidded eyes, full of possessiveness and lust and another emotion I wished to have never identified.
Love?
They couldn't possibly.
Why would they?
"Ours," they muttered simulationasly.
And air get knocked out of me, an awaiting panic attack rose within me. I felt my vision beginning to blur, black spots clouding it. My clammy hands clutched onto the hem of the t-shirt I was wearing tightly.
Taking another shaky step back holding out my left hand to my heart making them try to come closer and hold out their hands for me to take. I was fool enough to fall for their charm but I sure wasn't going to, now.
I raised my free hand keeping them at an arm's length. Then, looked at each of their different coloured eyes, stubbornly and said with utmost conviction and rage, "Never."
And I fell into that familiar dark void from exhaustion and shock.

Author's POV.
Shocked, worried, angry and slightly aroused from the interaction that they had with their beloved Sofia in the hallway. The trio left their rooms separately after getting dressed in their nightwear.
The brothers made their way back to the third floor, where Sofia was currently resting in one of the guest rooms.
Her pale and fainted form came into view when they opened the door. Guilt ridden they glared at the loss of color her skin had but were thankful as they called their private doctor, Arabella Vasily, to check on Sofia.
She had re-bandaged her cuts and hooked her up with an IV as she was still unconscious, exhausted and hasn't had anything to eat for over twenty fours hours since they took her. She needed to be check over after the whole fainting fiasco, as well.
The trio weren't going to risk having her hurt after finally having her with them.
The triplets were terrified when she ran, they knew she'd get herself hurt.
Yet their guilt overpowered the fear, they had wanted Sofia to act calmly and not pull that stunt getting herself hurt.
But they knew it was their fault.
All their fault.
They knew she'd try to run away at some point. Any sane person would've.
After arguing for a few minutes, the trio decided that only one of them will have to sleep on the bed near Sofia. It was another crucial decision they needed to make.
And the two others needed to take the couches in front of the bed to sleep on as to not crowd Sofia and accidentally remove the IV or crowd her too much.
Nadei being the stubborn man that he was, used the older brother card even though he was only a few minutes older than them.
He won the argument and smirked smugly at his younger brothers who sat on the bed and started murmuring sweet words to Sofia's sleeping form, playing with her loose dark brown curls.
The other two sulking men made their way into the huge walk-in closet to bring some blankets.
They set them on the couches to kiss the sleeping Angel's forehead goodnight and settle in their places letting sleep overtake them.
Laying on the bed Nadei scooted near Sofia and held her small hand to kiss it and whispered a 'goodnight' letting himself doze into a peaceful slumber.
The next morning...
Nikolai and Nial woke up earlier than their older brother which rarely happened. The man was an early bird, they unfortunately weren't. Especially Nik, the man liked his beauty sleep a little bit too much.
They cooed at the small Angel splayed on the bed her face first and curled up to Nadei, warping a small leg over his huge and muscly one and the side of her head above his abdomen and an arm around his waist.
Adorable, they thought to themselves.
Trudging to the room's huge attached bathroom that was personally designed by Nikolai--to brush their teeth, wash their faces and change.
Ascending down the stairs to enter the huge kitchen finding a few maids about to make breakfast for the two brothers to excuse them and let them prepare breakfast for Sofia by themselves.
Scurrying off, the maids couldn't help but feel shocked that their masters were excited to cook for someone. That someone being the girl they saw them carrying the other the day from their alleged 'business trip'.
And after preparing breakfast Nial and Nikolai decided to wake Sofia and their older brother up to eat with them at the luxurious yet traditional Russian breakfast that they had made.
Nikolai found that Nadei has arisen and was currently trying to wake Sofia up that was batting off the hand that he was using to smooth her hair out of her face and coax her to wake up.
The trio snickered reaching a mutual understanding with one glance on how to wake the sleeping and overly grumpy beauty up.
"Sofia, wake up," Nial softly said her name, his hand drifted to shake her shoulder slightly.
She groaned, overly tired and disoriented as she swatted his hand off.
Nikolai softly removed her arms from covering her face as she curled up into a ball seeking warmth, "Come on, Love. You should have something to eat."
She lightly stirred up rubbing her eyes.
They cooed at the soft action melting their stone cold hearts a tad more.
Sofia looked around the foreign room then realized that her clothes are changed and that she was wearing a huge black t-shirt and white sweats. The bandages and IV attached to her made her forget about the triplets that were looking at her to see what her next action would be.
Frowning Sofia ripped off the tube hissing painfully as touched her bandaged feet to let out a pained groan once more. Her feet felt inexplicably sore and throbbed with every small movement.
Then, she looked at the trio setting her eyes on Nadei saying awkwardly and quite shamefully, that she didn't need their help, they were the ones that got her there in that sick twisted position. "Can y-you help me get to the bathroom my f-feet hurt, please?"
Sofia's manners were as always, in place. She had always been a good girl to everyone but sometimes she just wanted to beat a bitch up with a smile on her face.
And this was one of those times.
"Just because you asked politely, but that doesn't mean that we forgot about the stunt you pulled yesterday, Little girl. You need to be more careful and never do anything that would harm you," Nadei reprimanded and carried her to the bathroom to do her business.
Geez, man just take me to the damn bathroom. She groaned internally.
_
Flushing the toilet Sofia looked up and watched her reflection in the mirror making her blush at the slightly red marks her skin adorned on her neck, collarbones and jaw.
She cursed them then chastised herself for her irrationality. Gods, why did I let them do this? Sofia scolded herself feeling ashamed of her lack of self-preservation and common sense.
'Because you liked it'
She shook her head as she gazed at herself in the mirror tiredly, dark bags under her red-rimmed eyes and her pale creamy skin even paler losing its once pink tinted color.
Knock..
She hated how she looked at that moment.
So helpless and alone.
Knock...
Just like all those years ago.
By herself with no one to protect her, love her or even merely care about her.
Knock...
She was alone and trapped.
Getting lost in her thoughts, Sofia didn't hear the constant knocking on the door worrying the man on the other side. His fist making contact with the door in hurried motions. "I'm coming in," Nadei gruffly stated.
He was concerned as to why she didn't open the door at the first knock. She was taking too long. Long enough to make him think that she did something.
Fearing that she might have hurt herself.
Opening the bathroom door. Nadei couldn't help but feel defeated at the way Sofia was looking at herself in the mirror.
So hopeless and sad.
His heart ached.
Gasping at the sudden intruder inspecting her by the door frame, Sofia glared at Nadei's reflection in the mirror and harshly spat out, "Why didn't you knock? I could've been naked, y'know?"
Her trepidation was palpable as she glared at the tall muscular man.
His voice softened as he addressed her, "Princess, you were taking too long. I knocked twice but you didn't answer. I thought something happened to you so I decided to check."
Scoffing loudly at the genuine concerned yet relieved look on Nadei's face. He'd make a great actor if he wasn't a psycho kidnaper. Sofia thought to herself.
"Okay and now I'm alright. Can't you just leave me alone." Sofia stated, her hand swatting, agressively as motioned at the door trying to get the six-foot-five giant to get out.
He misunderstood her words.
"Never," he murmured looking at her with his darkened jade orbs swirling with possessiveness, protectiveness and malice.
Sofia flinched at the look of anger on his face thinking that it was directed at her. Damn, what did I do now? She recoiled at his quick change of emotion.
Upon seeing her flinch away, Nadei's eyes softened immeasurably as he made his way to her embracing her in a warm tight hug unable to stop himself. He lifted her, putting her on the counter to hold her chin in his warm and tattooed fingers to make her meet his soft adoring gaze.
Sofia froze at the gesture, silently gulping. She felt her heart jump to her throat at their proximity.
The flight or fight of what signals her mind picked up ending with a sudden helplessness that made her want to break something or...cry. Couldn't she just knee him where the sun didn't shine and be over with it?
But confrontation was her weakness and sickly attractive men with murderous tendencies made her every fucking bit scared. She didn't know jack-shit about how to deal with them.
"I'll never ever hurt you, baby, we'll never hurt you and trust me when I say this--" he paused glancing at her affectionately hoping to somehow make her believe his truthful words.
The look would've made Sofia blush if she wasn't furious at the way this perfect stranger wanted her to act like a compliant, stray dog that they happened to like and adopt on the spot.
I was nobody's fucking pet. She gritted her teeth at the thought.
"-Anyone who would dare mistreat you will pay with their life and you shouldn't say such things as leaving you alone because we won't. So, please refrain from doing so," he completed softly gazing at her.
The sudden change of behavior made Sofia shudder and avoid his dark cold jade eyes.
Kissing her forehead Nadei smiled genuinely at Sofia, "Now, lyubov' let's get you something to eat, okay?" He uttered, softly.
Psychopath. Sofia murmured to herself.
As if on cue her stomach let out an inhumane growl making her blush a dark shade of red and for Nadei to hold in his laughter and hurriedly carried her to get fed.
