Nikolai looked at his body in the mirror with a bitter smile. After Nikita dragged him back to bed, she seemed to become greedy, and once again, they enjoyed each other for several hours. Now, his back was covered in deep scratch marks that wouldn't fade.
'It's like she used her power just to make sure they last a while and won't heal.'
Although Nikolai didn't mind this, looking at his phone, he felt a sense of conflict. Selene's message asked if he wanted to attend a rare auction with him at night. She seemed to be a little awkward, and her violent language vanished.
[From Selene]
Good Morning
Sorry for the early message, Nikolai... but would you be interested in attending a Nexus sponsored auction with me?
I will email you the invite and information about the dress code and place...
Or you could come to my apartment, and we could go together... maybe around 7:00 pm?
