America's Princess (Random Updates)

Chapter 18

Olivia felt herself being moved and slowly began to wake. "Shhh, go back to sleep, Sweetheart," Corey's voice whispered around her. "We still have a long drive ahead of us."

"Drive?" she asked hoarsely.

"You were exhausted," Sean said when he noticed she wasn't going to go back to sleep. "We just got off Raven's father's plane. We are now in Russia, Olivia, heading to his home."

"How long?" she winced at her dry, raw throat.

"Here," Nathan handed her a water bottle. "Take it easy though, Peanut."

She took a few drinks then Sean gently pulled it away. "You've slept almost 24 hours, Pookie," Sean said as Corey pushed some hair out of her face. "You needed it."

"Guess so," she whispered softly as she leaned into Corey again. "Still tired."

"I don't doubt it," Sean smirked. "Your body is still dealing with everything you went through."

"Plus your constant working with barely any sleep," Corey pointed out. "It's finally catching up on all that missed sleep you've needed."

"Okay," she whispered as she listened to his heartbeat. After a couple of minutes, she lifted her head, "Yevgeny?"

"Kitten," Raven said from the driver's seat.

Corey barely leaned forward, "He refused to have one of his father's men drive the vehicle you were in."

"Swear you safe, Kitten," Raven declared as he kept his eyes on the road.

"Thank you, Yevgeny," She whispered as she let sleep overtake her again.

When she woke again, she found herself in a canopy bed in a room she didn't recognize. Sitting up she realized that she was wearing one of the guys' shirts, which meant someone had changed her out of the hospital gown. Looking up and around the room, she saw Raven sleeping in the chair in the corner facing the bed. He had his arms crossed over his chest and his face dropped down onto his chest.

She carefully got out of the bed and walked over to him, "Yevgeny?" She whispered barely touching his shoulder, not wanting to startle him.

"Kitten," He whispered huskily instantly waking him and locking his dark eyes on her. "Sleep good?"

She smiled and nodded, "I slept very well, thank you." She gripped the shirt, "Whose?"

He smirked, "Mine. Doc had Kota mom and nurse dress you at hospital. Mother and personal maid dress you last night we arrive."

"Oh," she whispered, "thank you."

"Course Kitten," he nodded and stretched, "promise protect you." He stood and held his hand out. "Come, hungry?"

Her stomach decided to answer for her, and she giggled, "Yeah, guess I am."

He chuckled as she slipped her hand into his. "Let's eat, Kitten."

Raven gently pulled her out of the room and down the hall. Seeing the men in suits standing in different places made her tense up but Raven gently squeezed her hand, and she stepped a little closer to him.

"Hey, you're awake," Corey smiled seeing them enter the living room. "How are you feeling?"

"Hungry," she admitted.

North chuckled, "Then we better take care of that, come on Livy Baby."

The group stood and followed Raven as he pulled her out of the room and started leading her to the dining room. "Ah Son," a deep voice said as Raven entered, gently pulling Olivia behind him.

"Father," Raven nodded, "Kitten awake, hungry."

"Have maids bring food," a female voice said happily.

"Nyet, Marc, North bring food," Raven said leading her into the room. "Know what Kitten like."

"Da," both voices said as Raven pulled her to his side. "Kitten, Father Nikolai, Mother Anastasia."

"Hello," Olivia said politely. "Thank you for letting me come stay with you."

"Course," his mother beamed. "Always welcome home."

"Yevgeny?" she asked softly and Raven chuckled.

"Spasibo, Kotenok."

She clutched his hand tighter, "Um...spasibo."

"Very good," Anastasia beamed.

Nikolai's eyes squinted then he said something in Russian and Olivia stepped a little closer to Raven as the men standing around the room suddenly left.

Raven looked down at her then back at his parents, "Spasibo, Otets, Mat'."

"Alright, here you go Beautiful," Marc said as he walked into the room with a plate in his hand. "Doc said something light for now to see how you handle it."

"Spasibo," she beamed as sat down and Raven pushed her chair in.

"You're welcome," both Marc and Raven said at the same time.

"Eat, enjoy, visit later," Nikolai said as he and his wife stood then left the room.

Olivia looked around the room and saw all fourteen men sitting around the table with her. A smile graced her face before she took a bite of her sandwich.

The men smiled as she ate. Once she was done, she wiped her mouth and looked around the room, "It's beautiful Yevgeny."

Raven shrugged, "Prefer homes Gabe design."

She nodded, "I loved what he did to my home before it was taken away from me."

Raven shrugged, "Have whole wing Gabe design or extra house on grounds we use while here Gabe design if want."

She looked at him with shock and hope, "really? Your parents would let us?"

He nodded, "Da, guest house parents nyet use. Don't care we use it if want, stay long as want, nyet care. Just tell Gabe, he work magic."

She turned to Gabe, "Please Gabe?"

His eyes lit up, "Of fucking course."
