Phoenix's Revenge

7.

SMUT WARNING AHEAD YOU LITTLE FREAKS

Nikolai POV

What. Is. Happening.

I wake up before she does with a massive headache. I haven't drank like that in years. I look down and see a still sleeping Phoenix laying on my chest. Her face is peaceful as she snuggles closer in.

I've never snuggled in my life.

My mind is still running from last night. What are the fucking odds.

Once I start thinking about it, it makes sense. We both are heirs. We're arranged to marry. If I were them, I would've done the same thing.

Of course I would've just killed us. But that's just me.

I stare back down at her. Her black hair is splashed across my chest.

The bond that I felt once I found out who she was, was instantaneous. I've heard her screams and she's heard mine. We've heard each other beg for it to stop. I'd never beg now, but I was a kid then.

Her eyes snap open and she stares down at my chest. She launches her self off of me, panic in her eyes. She turns on her back and runs a shaky hand through her hair.

"I'm sorry." She mutters.

"You have nothing to be sorry for."

She looks at me and smirks.

"Who knew you were such a big softie deep down." She chuckles.

I reach over and smack her with a pillow. She laughs a real, genuine laugh. It's amazing.

"Alright. Let's get up. We travel to Russia today." She says. I groan. It's the winter which means it'll be fucking freezing.

"Pack warm."

She turns and nods. She sends me a wink and a smirk before slinking down the hall. I fall back on my bed.

What's this girl doing to me?

Phoenix POV

"You have your gun?"

"Yes dad."

"Knives?"

"Yes dad."

"Vest?"

"Yes."

"What about-"

I cut him off and grab his face.

"Dad. I have everything. I'll be fine." I smile up at him and he pulls me into a big hug. He lets go and I walk to my mom. She hugs me.

"He even speaks to you wrong, and I'll skin him alive."

I chuckle. "Thanks mom."

I turn to board the jet and Nikolai follows. I board the plane and turn around to see my mom grabbing his arm so hard her knuckles are white. She whispers something and Nikolai's face goes pale. I laugh. He boards and I yell that I love them one last time before getting in as the door shuts.

They're coming for the wedding tomorrow, but I need to prep today.

The jet takes off and we're left alone. He sits across from me in a black button up and black slacks. His legs are spread. He's so fucking hot. My eyes rake down his body. I look back up and see him staring at me with a smirk. His mismatch eyes trained on me completely.

"You're staring again."

"I know." I say.

He chuckles. "Keep looking at me like that, and I'll bend you over this table. It's a long flight, sweetheart and I've got plenty of ideas."
