Nikolai.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU ALL THINKING?!" she bellowed. Anger rolled off of her in scalding hot waves of furious intent and exsparation.
We flinched for a millisecond not used to her being so loud and angry at us, more so specifically.
"θείτσα, we can talk like reasonable people about this, there is no need to make such commotion and where is Sofia?" Nial tried to calm down the angered woman, yet subtly asked where our girl was.
(Auntie)
Sighing, she stated trying to keep her overflowing emotions at bay not lash out furthermore. "She's in my office and is a bit disrupted but what the hell were you guys thinking when you fucking kidnapped her!"
The screeched admission rang in my ears as she raised her voice a higher note, "You brought an innocent woman. No! a girl without her consent to our home and for what is what I want to know? Don't you know how irresponsible and endangering that is?"
Oh, but we knew. We thought of every possible scenario yet our emotions made us act upon them and our selfishness pulled the worst in us. Inducing us to take Sofia.
"We're aware that what we've done is wrong but we couldn't just leave her there. We love her and we don't expect you to understand why we did what we did," Nadei being the easily angered beast among us, interrupted, "We'd appreciate if you saved your scolding since we won't listen to you this time. We might consider you to be our mother but it doesn't give you the right to dictate our lives for us-" he so unkindly pressed. Persistence and conviction lacing his voice.
"-We know what we're doing and we'd appreciate it if you don't come between us and Sofia. It won't end well for anyone who would," Nial topped Nadei's words with a threat promising absolute havoc and chaos if anyone dared to take our lyubov' from us.
"I-I just hope that you guys know what you're doing and not fuck up her life. More than you have already, the girl is scared and-" cutting off her rambling while rolling my eyes irritatedly, my patience ran low.
I just missed my kitten.
So damn much.
"Listen, aunt Ana, you're still not getting it. We said that we'll take care of Sofia and provide her with what she wants until she loves us the same way that we do and you know that if we tried to approach her like a normal person would which we were not. She'd run for the hills the second she knew what we were involved in--" I completed my sensible words.
I ran my hand through my blond curls trying to not show my impending irritation and anger.
The damp atmosphere was tainted with our overflowing anger and apprehension.
"We'd never hurt Sofia nor let any harm come to her, we'd die before anything happens to her," Nadei monotonously murmured yet his hard eyes slightly softened at the mention of Sofia's name.
We stood motionless waiting for her to analyze and comprehend what we had told her. It was the truth in all ways. We loved Sofia and we needed her and as simple as that sounded.
It was hard after what we'd done.
We all knew how much freedom would mean to a person. We had a tough past with an unadulterated amount of trauma and we should've been more considerate of her and shouldn't have acted so rashly.
We were meant to make her happy not anger and frustrate her.
But yet, somehow we managed to do just that.
It was always our damn fault.
"I honestly don't know what to say," she shook her head, "Don't think for a second that I approve of this and you better keep your word. That girl didn't deserve to be forced into this and if you ever hurt her. You'll regret it. All of you," Anastasia concluded sternly surprising us with her words.
I couldn't help the glimmer of admiration striking my heart at how Sofia managed to slide her way into my aunt's usually callous, cold heart.
She was not exactly a people person nor did she care about anyone other than Iva and us but I guessed my kitten was too adorable to be disliked by anyone even my cranky aunt.
"I like that girl and I think that she'll be good for you despite this uncanny situation. She's what you all need," she resumed sighing and a hopeful glint in her eyes.
The dismal mood took a change to a better direction making my eyes soften at the confession.
Looking at my wristwatch impatiently and after glancing at my brothers and then my aunt. I forced an impatient growl. "Let's go fetch Sofia. I miss her," my grunted words pulled them out of their stupor.
Rolling her eyes, our aunt, reminded us of the loads of work that we must get started on Monday. Good God, I just wanted a few more days off.
We needed a damn break for once.
"We'll get everything done. Our attention is directed at different matters at hand for now but we won't discard our duties. We know what's at stake," I asserted.
Receiving the affirmative nod and the barely noticeable yet proud smile contorting my aunt's face. We bid her farewell and we made our way to get Sofia.
My nervous state substantially died down and the need of being able to see her brought a soft fondness to my heart.
-
Sofia.
I felt hands lifting me.
My eyes snapped open and directly locked them with delicate hazel ones. Nikolai smiled pecking my forehead affectionately whispering, "You need to eat something, love."
I yawned stretching my hands, my clenched fist accidentally whacking Nikolai on his face, a soft downturn of his pouty lips and a faux sense of sadness overtaking his eyes.
Puppy man.
"Fuck, love. You hurt me and you're not even kissing it better," I frowned at the look despite its fictitious nature. He was overdoing it but damn, if he didn't look adorable.
Rolling my eyes at his child like but funny antics. "Man child," I grumbled still dazed from sleep, pecking his cheek hurriedly.
I let out a giggle at the soft blush rising on his neck disarming my usual mistrust-filled eyes.
I heard two breathy chuckles from the door. My eyes snapped to them with my flared cheeks.
Looking up at Nikolai that was still holding me to his chest bridal style. I asked to put me down politely to which he obliged with a soft peck on my temple.
"Thank you," I stated then made my way to the door wanting to exit Anastasia's office but got stopped by the other two.
Their muscular arms folded on their chests and their faces contorted in small pouts, my amusement couldn't be measured at how they suddenly changed modes.
So frustrating.
But fun, in some way.
"What now?" I groaned gripping my hair.
"Our kisses?" Nial asked tapping a stubbled cheek with his finger.
Gods, help me it was like dealing with five-year-olds.
Sighing, I held my hand out for Nial and the idiot pushed it aside and picking me up as a loud yelp left me and my legs warped around his waist and my arms around his neck.
The intimate position didn't fail to make me blush a bright red with embarrassment.
"Now, you can give me my kisses like Dumbo over there," he whispered with a finger pointing at his brother.
The same pleasurable shivers ran down my back at the deepness and huskiness of his voice but his nickname for Nikolai made me snort voluntarily erasing whatever sinful thought I had.
Pecking his cheek, I reached out for Nadei and he hesitated and I almost giggled at the dumbfounded look on his face as I remembered how I kneed him before in that exact same way.
At my amused expression. Nadei frowned then knowingly smirked, my eyes widened as his palm made contact with my bum.
"Ow! What the hell?" I screeched, my glare fixated on his obnoxiously gorgeous face.
Crossing his arms over his chest, he chuckled at my position eyeing how I rubbed my bum.
Kinky motherfucker had an obsession with my ass.
"You can call it karma, Angel," he met my eyes seemingly entertained with my reaction.
"Okay, okay, we get it. Stop staring at my ass," I huffed irritation clear in my eyes, my cheeks flaming hot, embarrassed.
"Say please," he retorted rolling his jade eyes.
I gaped at the huge baboon not saying anything.
"Well?" He grumbled, impatiently.
Still not saying it.
"No, I'm not saying that and I'm not apologizing for anything that's not my fault," I stated and thankfully, my voice came out calm and collected.
And with that he plopped me down on my feet, grasping my hand in his and pulling us out of the room.
Walking into the kitchen to awe at the dark yet sophisticated interior.
Nikolai turned to me, "Love, what would you like us to prepare for you?" He softly uttered.
"Spaghetti Bolognese and can I help, please?" I pleaded wanting to help not just sit doing nothing.
I didn't like it when people did things for me.
"Okay, and no you just sit there," He refused making me huff with irritation.
And with that the trio split up, each minding their task. Nikolai got the required ingredients from the fridge, Nial and Nadei pulled pans, pots and whatnot from the cupboards.
I clutched my head in my hands and sighed.
After a few minutes, I got tired of fiddling with my fingers and my hair. I peeked and noted that they were still cooking.
Three hot Russian triplets were cooking for me.
Fuck you aunt Flo.
I groaned out some curses when I felt a few cramps twisting my insides and I placed my slightly warm palm against my lower abdomen.
I always got period cramps two to three days before it and trust me it fucking sucked. I perked up at the sound of footsteps in my direction to meet their concern-filled gazes.
"May I?" Nikolai pressed his palm against my cheek after I voluntarily leaned into his touch then he said, "Are you alright, princess? Do you need something?"
I shook my head.
"I don't want anything but can you make me some tea though? I-I'm having c-cramps," I embarrassedly stuttered hiding my flushed face with my hands.
Kill me now.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed nor ashamed of, babygirl, it's a natural thing. What kind of tea do you want?" Nial kindly offered to take my hands off my face flashing me a soft smile.
Those brown eyes pulled me to them like a moth to a flame.
I gratefully stated, "Cinnamon tea and if you could add a pinch of grinded ginger and tablespoon of honey, please," my appreciation was evident in my tone.
"Good girl," he murmured under his breath.
My breath hitched upon the praise chastising myself for my lack of self-control at the action that had a delicate feeling burst within me. The many books I read were truly getting to me with how praises from hot men made feel.
_
Nial landed me a mug filled with warm cinnamon tea and the little pinch of ginger that I asked for, present as I took a sip.
I inhaled its calming scent humming in contentment.
He was officially my favorite.
"Thank you," my thankfulness voiced.
"Anytime, Doll, make sure to let us know if you need anything and I mean anything, alright?" he turned back to flash me a wink.
My face flushed beet red.
I opened my mouth to ask about the others since I sorta liked Cami despite her overly cheerful self.
"We're almost done, little one, would you like to dine here with us? Dimi and Camille are not here if that's what you're wondering neither is our aunt, it's just us." Nadei read through my face like an open book with a soft smile on his rugged face.
"I think we should just sit here," I muttered, my cramps making the words seem a bit incoherent.
"Baby, I think it's better if you have some painkillers after eating. It'll help reduce your pain," Nikolai worriedly stated pulling his chair to sit beside me.
Nadei served us our plates and I dug into the food moaning at its deliciousness. They were too good at it and I thought that I might as well let them cook for me now. I needed to be spoiled more often.
I deserved it.
Continuously devouring my spaghetti plate. I heard a throat clearing that made me snap my eyes towards Nadei.
"Please." It sounded like a heady plea from him. "Refrain from making such sounds, princess," he grunted casting me a heated look.
Crap.
"I-I-uh sorry," I shied away from his hot gaze.
Twisting my fork around in my spaghetti, I felt my thoughts drift off to how their skillful mouths invaded and completely took over my senses a few hours ago.
Remembering Nadei's tongue on my core, Nik and Nial's mouths planting kisses and nipping my skin. I shivered to shaking my head to hopefully get my mind out of the gutter.
Gods.
What the hell was wrong with me?
