His Seduction

Chapter 64.

"Beautiful"

"What?"
Riley blinked, whilst glancing away from the dark, star filled sky and coming face to face with his daddy who was already staring at him.

A blush warmed his cheeks and he quickly looked away.

They had finished their meal and decided to sit on a blanket that was laid on the floor giving them full access to the beautiful night sky.

Clearing his throat the younger spoke up
"Yeah, the um, the sky is beautiful"

Taking a his thumb and forefinger Nikolai held the little's chin and turned his head so they were face to face once more.

"I wasn't talking about the sky"

"Thank you"

Their lips met for a split second before they were back to star gazing.

"You know I've never done this before"

"What?"
Nikolai queried.

"Well, all of this really but I meant looking at the night sky. When I lived in France I was inside most days with all my doors and windows closed. When I did go out it was early in the mornings when the sun had already been out and I bought enough necessities to hold me for months so I probably went out three times a year"

"Do you ever think about going back?"

"Sometimes"
He responded hesitantly, but still honestly
"It's just that everything was so much easier, of course I missed my family and I did get a little lonely every now and then but I didn't have a psychotic aunt and I think the distance was better for my dad and I's relationship, now everything is a mess. But then I think of you and I just know that I couldn't leave you behind. Honestly, I don't think I could live without you"

"I can't live without you either, but if you really wanted to go back-"

"No, right now it's not about the place I just know that as long as you're with me I'm okay. You're my home now"

Smiling Riley laid his head on the older's shoulder.

"Do your parents always have people watching you?"
He remembered the conversation between Nikolai and Nadia.

"No, well maybe, I'm not entirely sure" He sighed.

"Why?"

"Because I like my privacy and they... Don't"

With a giggle Riley asked him to continue.

"They just do it because I refuse to answer questions about my life. For example, my dating history. My mother hated that I had never brought anyone home, or even spoke of seeing anyone. She thought I was sad and lonely but too stubborn to say anything, which I wasn't but she can just be a little too inquisitive"

"Even though it's weird I think it's kinda cute"

"Cute? No it's not cute it adds to the workload of having to evade her, as well, as the paparazzi"

"Have you asked them to stop?"

"You do not know my mother, asking her to stop would be a waste of my time, plus it's not exactly harmful so I'm fine"

"Okay" Riley nodded before he released a small yawn.

"Tired?"

"A little"

"Come on"

Nikolai got to his feet before holding out his hand. The little smiled before taking the outstretched limb and allowing himself to be pulled off of the floor.
