Proving Her Wrong

Chapter 58

It had been a week since they have been back and now Alina was sitting at in the window seat of the bay window bouncing her knee while looking out the window. Melisma was visiting Kota's mother Erica and his sister Jessica for the day.

"Kitten," Raven smirked as he finished cleaning his gun. He shook his head when he realized she hadn't heard her. "Kitten."

"What Yevgeny?" she asked, refusing to turn to look at him.

"Let's go play," he smirked.

"Nyet," she shook her head.

"Da," he said putting his gun in his holster.

"Nyet," she said as she continued to stare out the window. "Don't want to."

"Nyet want me beat you again," he smirked while crossing his arms over his chest, clearly baiting her.

She snapped and glared at him. "You wish Dimitri."

"Oh shit," Gabe chuckled as Luke tried to hold back his laugh.

"Prove it, Little Kitten," Raven dropped his tone even lower as his eyes darkened.

"Fine, Little Bear" she smirked just as darkly. "What are the terms?"

"Oh fuck," Gabe beamed as Corey shook his head and pulled out his phone.

"Same as always, I win, you take fruit cup, Marc's name, be ours—"

"I already am Yevgeny," she rolled her eyes.

"Paper wise," he clarified. "Take fruit cup and Marc's name, have binding ceremony, adopt Little One."

"And if I win?" she asked standing and raised her arms over her head to stretch. He shrugged so she smiled mischievously. "If I win, you can't touch your precious guns or knives for a whole month unless it's for protecting the family. Oh," She snapped she snapped her fingers, "and you have to take me knife shopping without buying you anything."

Raven growled but nodded, "Deal."

"Let's go, Little Bear," she said in a teasing sing song way as she pulled her top off to reveal her sports bra and tank underneath.

"You know the rules," Axel said in a routine voice, letting the Blackbourne team know this was not an unusual event. "No cheap shots and no breaking bones. Alina," She turned to look at him, "no pushing past your limit either just to prove a point. Raven will call if he sees you doing it."

She sighed and pouted, "Fine."

Raven chuckled while Marc rolled his eyes and shook his head but had as smile on his lips. They followed Raven over to the shooting range. Alina grabbed her first gun then turned and started firing. Raven smiled proudly and tossed her another one. She repeated it and did it again with the third one she took from him. Once she was done, she crossed her arms and tapped her foot while Axel when to check.

"Perfect marks," he reported when he came back.

"I could have told you that," she smirked.

"Taught you well," Raven said beaming. He shot and Axel said he hit all his marks perfectly as well.

"Tie for now," Corey said as he continued recording.

"Here we go," Axel said as he stepped away from the table of throwing knives.

"Yay," Alina beamed as she bounced in excitement. She picked one up and put the tip to her finger before spinning it.

"Careful, Kitten," Raven warned.

"Always am Little Bear," She teased as she suddenly turned and threw it at a board in the distance, hitting it in the bullseye.

Raven stared at her and threw his knife hitting the same spot. She rolled her eyes, picked up another knife, licked it, then blew him a kiss before throwing it without looking at the mark. She hit it perfectly earning many of the Blackbourne team to whistle.
