Heartstrings and Forever Bonds

Turning Tides

Natalia's Perspective:

Finally, I'm feeling okay now. Ahhh... I've had a refreshing shower, and the scent of roses envelops me. Now, I have a lot to accomplish. This trip isn't just leisure for me; I need to keep that in mind. I should go to the garden first.

I can hear noises in the kitchen, like someone rummaging through cabinets, most likely searching for something. In my estimation, Nikolai is changing in his room, and there's no one else here besides him and me. Should I bring my gun, or proceed as usual? Okay, don't panic; you can handle it without a weapon. You've taken down adversaries before, and if they're mafia scum, they'll likely be armed with guns or knives that you can appropriate.

As Natalia descends the stairs, the sounds grow louder, as if someone is cooking. When she finally reaches the living room, she sees...

What are you doing?" he replied, "Making coffee for us, Bellissima." "Yeah, I can see that, but why shirtless?" "Don't you like it, babygirl?" "Why would I like it?" How can I say he's fucking hot? I want him bent over the couch and to fuck me in every position he wants. The thought of him fucking me is already making my pussy sore. Ugh...it's already wet enough. Nikolai smirked and replied, "You will love it in bed." "Yeah, I want it now. Take me on your shoulders and fuck me like your whore..."

"Isn't it too much, Natalia?" Ah, my fucking conscience.

"Alright, I'm heading to the garden," he replied, "Okay."

Finally, some fresh air after what felt like decades. It feels rejuvenating. The crisp breeze from the ocean and the rhythmic sound of the waves are washing away all my stress.

"What has life become? A few years ago, it was satisfactory. I was like everyone else, living my routine life. And now, everything has been turned upside down."

"Hello!"

Natalia leapt out of her thoughts and replied, "Hi!" Who's he now? What's he doing here? "My name is Myth... Myth Sica. Nice to meet you," he introduced himself. "I'm Natalia Di Caprio. Nice to meet you too," I responded, shaking his hand. "What are you doing here?" I inquired. "I'm a gardener here, just checking if everything's alright. I happened to spot a beautiful lady enjoying the fresh air," he explained. Since when does a gardener look this handsome? Despite my surprise, his compliment elicited a laugh. "Oh, thanks," I replied. "You're most welcome, beautiful lady," he added with a smile.

"What are you doing here today?" Nikolai's voice suddenly emerged from behind. Since when did he arrive? The so-called gardener turned to face him and replied, "Nothing, just meeting with her." Nikolai questioned, "As far as I know, I instructed everyone to leave after cleaning. Why are you still here?" "I was just leaving, and she called me," Myth explained.

Wait, when did I call him? The intensity in Nikolai's eyes was predatory, as if he could kill me with a glance. But when I looked at Myth, his eyes begged for my help. "Y-Yeah! I saw him suddenly, so I asked him some questions, nothing else," I stammered. Nikolai glanced at Myth and ordered, "Leave." Myth looked at me and said, "Bye!" I replied, looking at Nikolai, "B-Bye!"

I turned around to savor the fresh air pnce more. Nikolai set the coffee down on the tea table .Now standing behind me,I could feel the warmth of his body and his warm breate tickling my ear.He grasped  my waist, sending shivers down the spine, and in an instant, I was facing him. The eye contact wasn't just intense; his eyes blazed red, as if he could incinerate me with his gaze. He began to speak, " You belong to me...only me..Don't engage with any random guy who's roaming around here and tries to flirt with you." I was about to respond, but the intensity of his gaze left me speechless. Was I scared, or was I strangely drawn to his dominance?? "You're all mine. "Am I clear, babygirl??" " Mm...hmm,"was all I could manage.

He was about to leave, but I grabbed his arm and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." Why did I just say that?? Ugh...I hated myself for it. He pulled me closer once again. Our eyes met, my hands resting on his shoulder, around his neck. He gazed at my lips amd kissed me. I responded
eagerly, my body trembling with every touch. We both moaned during the kiss, and after a solid five minutes. I pulled away, gasping for breathe. Nikolai smile and planted a kiss on my cheek. "It's okay, Bellissima. You don't need to apologize."

He took a few steps, then turned to me, offering his hand. " Come, babygirl." I couldn't help but smile as I took his hand. I rushed towards him and grasped his hand. This guy is captivating, but I'm becoming overly fixated on him. It's not just fixation; I love him. I knew I'll love him even more if I stay by his side. Why did I join this alliance?? I'm regretting my decision for the first time in five years.

I thought I would be finished by tomorrow, and the higher-ups are also awaiting the information. I assured them they would receive what they needed. But tonight, I want to spend more time with Nikolai. I'll extend the deadline because I know I can't love anyone else as deeply as I love him. Moreover, I know if Nikolai discovers my betrayal, he will never return my love. So these days on the trip are my last chance to stay close to him.
