Nika's pov

After two days Azzi and Paige went back to Minnesota for Christmas while me and Shane would go to Croatia together. She carried the bags to the airport not letting me touch a single thing which only made me blush even more. We sat down waiting for our flight number to get called. I saw her texting Paige from time to time checking in with her to see how she is doing. It melted my heart seeing how much she cared for her friend. Although once we got on the plane her mind went completely elsewhere. She stared into space fidgeting with the hem of her hoodie. I got worried at her state so I placed my hand on top of hers caressing it softly making her look up at me. "What's wrong?" I asked tilting my head to show more empathy. She let out a big sigh before looking down again. "I'm just nervous. What if your parents don't like me? Or if your sister thinks I'm not good for you? Or even-" she went to speak more before I cut her off with a small kiss. She smiled into the kiss before I pulled away. She looked confused before i said. "Do I like you Shane?" She stayed silent for a moment. She hesitantly nodded making me smile. "Then you don't have to worry about them at all. Plus my sister thinks you're too cool to be with me but will settle for it cause i need someone like you in my life. Her words not mine!" I said making her let out a laugh. I loved when she smiled. It's like you give candy to a small child "you better now?" I asked and she looked up at me before nodding. She extended her arm making me fall in into hee embrace. She placed soft kisses on top of my head before she gave me one airpod and we listened to soft rnb for the rest of the flight there. I woke up to Shane shaking me softly signalling me we're about to land. I was never that afraid of planes but seeing Shane's hand gripping her handle firmly i figured something was going on. I placed my hand on top of hers and softly caressed her knuckles that had turned white from the grip. She looked at me with a small smile before looking back down. I could see it in her eyes that she wanted to get out and talk to Paige. Worry plastered allover her face. Although i couldn't do anything to help her with that. I just tightened my grip signalling that i am there for her and she gave me a small nodd. As we landed we made our way outside after grabbing our bags. She had rented a car so we could drive around and allow me to show her around. We met up with the guy that had our car and as she thanked him and talked to him a bit about the details i called my sister to let her know we had landed. "Please do not be weird. She's tired and not really up for bullshit" i pleaded not wanting Hana to make Shane uncomfortable. "Who's not up for bullshit? Who are you talking to?" Shane popped up behind me making me jump up a bit. We both laughed a bit before i said "It's Hana. She is a bit weird don't bother" i said and ehane slightly nodded. She placed her hand on the small of my back and guided me to the car while i was still talking with my sister on the phone. She opened the door making me blush and i saw a small smirk come up to her face. As i hung up we were already on the road and the gps showed the way to my house. "So what did she say? Your sister" Shane asked as she looked around while driving. "She's thrilled to meet you honestly. From the moment I told her you were a hockey player she wanted to meet you. I think she likes you more than me already" i said and we both laughed at the last comment. "Oh so she likes hockey?" She asked making a turn looking at me briefly before returning her gaze to the road. "Yeah. She always wanted to know how it feels to be on ice. But basketball won her over just like it did me" i explained. She listened closely while a small smile was plastered on her face. "You never told me..have you always played hockey or did you do something else before?" I asked only now realising how little I know about the girl i have brought home with me. "Yes actually. I was a boxer. But after some time I realised it wasn't what i was looking for. So even though i liked boxing.. once i put my feet on ice i knew it was what i wanted to do" she said. We stopped at a red light and she looked at me her hand coming up to my face caressing it softly. I smiled at the contact and leaned into her touch. "I have a lot to learn about you" i said lowly. She chuckled before turning her head to the road as the light turned green. "So do i considering the fact that i am in your hometown" she said and i let out a laugh at the irony of it all. We continued in comfortable silence as her hand stroke mine. Stealing glances at the red lights or when we hear a song we both liked. Sooner than expected we finally found our way to my house. While my eyes filled with admiration and nostalgia i could aee that in Shane's eyes panic was written allover her. She triwd hiding it. And she almost did. But i know that when that eyebrow twiches something must definitely be wrong. "You ready?" She asked and i nodded. As she took both of our suitcases and her backpack we headed to the door. I knocked a couple of times before my mother opened the door. "Oh my god. Merry Christmas my sweet angel!" My mother said excitedly while hugging me tightly. I greeted her with a smile as well having missed my mom a lot. Once she pulled away she looked at Shane and threw her a smile. "And you must be Shane. It's so nice to meet you finally. I am Roberta" she said and even though I thought she would just shake her hand she made her lean down for a hug. I let out a laugh at her enthusiasm before i saw Shane standing up straight still with our suitcases on her back. The strength this girl has oh my god. "Alright mom we are going to settle down and xome back to see dad okay?" I asked and my mother said she would make dinner. "Your mom is just like you. I see it now" she said making me laugh at her tone. Needless to say she was exhausted from the travelling and the carrying of our stuff but other than that i think yhe anxiety about meeting my folks has eased up a bit on her. I opened the door and entered first before letting her in. "Welcome to my humble room" i said showing her the room. "Here's the bathroom you can go anytime you want to take a shower my folks have another shower at Hana's room and at theirs and one downstairs" i explained and she nodded. She looked around and sat at the couch of the room absorbing every little detail she could. "So this is where little Nika decided she would kick everyone's ass in basketball huh" she said in admiration. I smiled at her comment and nodded already feeling the blush come up to my cheeks. "Yeah. Right here" i said sitting beside her. She took a sharp deep breath in before looking at me for a brief second. "Question. What's your dad like? I think I'll die in the next few seconds due to my heart beating so fast" she said trying to make it seem like it was funny but it was not. And i could see it. I placed my hand on her cheek before I pulled her in for a soft kiss. Once we pulled away i let my forehead rest against hers. Her breathing was fastened and her hands were gripping mine to contain herself. "It is going to be okay. Baby you don't have to worry about it too much. He is gonna love you. And if he doesn't i will for the both of us" i said while she looked away from me. She nodded trying to convince me she understood but obviously she was a disaster. I just held her hand tightly before a knock on the door could be heard. Her eyes darted to the door and quickly looked at me. "Who is it?" I asked my eyes not leaving Shane's. "It's me honey the food is ready" my mom answered and a low sigh could be heard from the back. I already knew it was Shane. "Okay!" I shouted back before sitting back down. "Are you ready?" I asked her softly waiting fir her answer. She gave me a nodd and got up offering hee hand for me to get up. I gladly took it and we vkth made our way downstairs in silence. "My little girl!" My father shouted bringing a big smile on my face. I fell into his arms having missed the man. As we pulled away he looked at me for a good minute with a big grin on his face before his attention shifted to Shane who stood beside my mom. "You must be Shane huh" he said looking at her. She gulped before nodding with her confidence flooding in. She offered him a hand and with a smile she introduced herself. "Indeed i am sir. It's a pleasure to finally meet you" she said her grip firm but friendly. He smiled at her for a moment before speaking up again. "I've heard many things about you Shane" he said looking at her dead in the eyes. Let me tell you i could see the nervousness of Shane from where i was standing. She cracked a smile trying to fight with any ounce of confidence she had left. "All good things I hope" she answered and my dad nodded. "Okay so let's go eat cause the food's getting cold" my mom stepped in to save the situation making both me and shane let out a sigh of relief. We followed her to the kitchen table and took our seats. I made shane sit next to me seeing that my father was throwing daggers at her with his eyes. "Shane my dear do you like the food? It's traditional cévapi!" My mother asked trying to make small talk. "This one of the best dishes I've had to be honest with you Mrs Mühl" she said her mind blown making me laugh at her expression. My mom smiled widely before she went back to eating. "So Shane. I hear you play ice hockey" my father said after he cleared his throat. "Yes i am sir. Captain of the team" she answered her eyes sparkling every chance she had to talk about ice hockey. My dad hummed before firing again "and how do you see your future after you leave UConn?" Shane didn't reply for a minute. I guess she hadn't thought about it that much? "I will either continue playing ice hockey in the bigger league or i will continue my business on cars. I own a carshop near the college dorms and i pop in every now and then. But when the exams are over i am always over there so i will continue to do that and expand it if ice hockey doesn't work out for me" she answered. This was the first time ny father had raised his eyebrows in shock. "That's... quite impressive"  he said and shane nodded at him before stuffing hee mouth with food. Throughout the whole conversation me and hana were looking at eachother trying to see what would happen next. We almost laughed out loud with our father's expression. As the small talk between ny mom and Shane went on i couldn't help but notice how relaxed she was comparing to the constant hustle at UConn. Even though she was nervous about my dad there is no comparison to her self here than back in Connecticut. We were done eating and i went for a minute to the bathroom. My dad had left since it was late and hana had gone outside to talk on the phone. When i got back to the kitchen my heart melted at the view. My mom and Shane were washing the dishes chatting and laughing. This was the sweetest thing I have ever seen to be honest. "I'm sorry for Darko. He is very protective of our girl. He wants to know you can handle pressure so you can take care of her" my mom said. Neither of them had seen me so i decided to stay and listen to what they say. "I understand completely what you're talking about trust me. I know he wants to know that i can protect her. And i can. But Nika can protect herself on her own. I believe she is one of the few women that are both scary and capable and attractive. She knows it. Everyone does. But the fact that I can take care of her is something that i need in my life. The feeling that she needs me somehow even though she is perfectly capable of doing it herself. I see her as the most fragile thing that walks around the earth. It makes me want to shatter anyone who crosses her way. But i can't fight her battles. Not that I don't want to she just won't let me" Shane said laughing with my mom at the end. Hearing how she spoke to my mom about me. How careful she was with her words while also talking about her feelings was so touching. "Shane baby according to my standards you are passing with flying colours just so you know" she said laughing while placing a hand on her back. "You are a very good person Shane. Don't let anyone ruin what you have. Because it's special" my mother said before looking back and noticing me. She smiled at me before patting Shane's back. "I am not interrupting some mom-daughter bonding now am i?" I asked laughing lightly. Shane turned around and her eyes lit up as she shook her head laughing. "Well i will go to your father maybe make him not pressure you too much" my mom siad before leaving us in the kitchen. My eyes found hers while my hands circled her neck. A smile stayed on her face while never breaking eye contact. Her hands were on my waist as she leaned back on the counter. "Thank you for bringing me here. This must be the best Christmas I've had for a long time" she said with a soft laugh. "No thank you for being here. My mom already loves you just so you know" i said and her eyes sparkled a bit. She placed her hand on my cheek and pulled me in closer. Slowly. It was perfect. A sweet and full of love kiss. No rushing or lust or anything else. Just us two and our love for one another. When we pulled away she rested her forehead against mine. She looked up at my eyes and when i did too the strong feeling was banging inside my chest begging me to let it out . "I love you Nika" she murmured. I almost didn't hear her. "What?" I asked dumbfounded. I had heard her. I just wanted for her to say it again.
"I love you Nika Mühl. With all my heart" she spoke clearer this time. She took initiative and kissed me once more showing me the affection that i needed. As we pulled away i placed my hands on her chest while her's circled me making me feel small. "I love you too Shane Brocker. With everything i have" i said breathlessly. For a moment there was silence although the shift in the atmosphere was evident. None of us spoke although our eyes were. She grabbed my hand and led me upstairs urgently. Needless to say i followed behind like a stray puppy. Once we were in our room she closed the door locking it before pushing me against the wall attacking my lips. But the kisses weren't urgent for pleasure. They didn't scream desire and want. They were tender kisses that showed affection and care. Kisses and eyes that showed love. She slwoly made her way down to my neck careful not to leave any marks. Her hands softly massaged my breasts. I pressed my hand on my mouth as i moaned trying to not be heard. She got back to eye level with me before she guided me to the bed. I made her sit down before i straddled her taking off my shirt slowly. Once it was off Shane's hands flew onto my body. Like a puzzle searching every curve and evey muscle. She soon copied my moves getting her shirt off before throwing it somewhere in the room. I sat there admiring her so perfectly structured body. Muscles on full display. Some scars from injuries visible making her ten times hotter. And that rapid breathing of hers. The view made me wetter by the second. She noticed me staring before smirking and wrapping her hands around me. She turned us both over so now i was laying on my back and she was on top of me. She pressed hot kisses allover my body showing extra attention on my breasts before she moved down to my pants. She looked up for my consent and i nodded rapidly wanting her impossibly closer. She slowly got my pants of and threw them near her shirt. "Baby. Please" i breathed as I couldn't comprehend how wet i was. I needed her. And i needed her now. She chuckled as she got back up to me kissing me slowly. Without me even realising i felt pressure on my clit making me moan in her mouth which turned her on even more. I pulled away and only to look down and see her fingers drawing circles where I needed her most this whole time.  I almost came at the sight. "Oh my- fuck Shane" I whimpered as she sunk a finger inside me. Watching her finger disappear rapidly made me hornier. I wanted more. "Shane. I can't. I need more" i cried in her ear. She went faster sinking a second finger in. I hung on her back for dear life. My nails must have definitely scarred her back. "Come on baby. You are doing so well for me" she whispered in my ear.  Hearing her praise me was so hot i couldn't handle it any longer. "Shane I'm close. Please let me cum"I pleaded. She was quick to oblige and sent me over the edge. "Oh my god" i whisper shouted with my head in the crook of her neck. She helped me ride out my high before she pulled out her fingers making me whimper slightly at the loss of contact. She brought them up to her lips and sucked my juices off of her fingers while holding eye contact with me. "Are you good with the strap?" I asked her taking her by surprise before she nodded a with a wicked smile on her face. I pushed her down and slowly walked towards the bathroom before coming back out with the purple toy in my hand. She bit her lip as i approached her putting it on her while on my knees. "God you're so sexy. How are you even real" she murmured as she brought me up by the neck kissing me softly "imagine how hot you look and then tell me bout me" i replied making her chuckle. She made me lie on my back before she hoovered over me. She placed a soft kiss on my lips before she lined up the strap with my hole. "Are you ready baby?" She asked softly and i nodded looking at her dead in the eyes. She held eye contact while she inserted the toy in me making my mouth hung. She kept her eyes on mine as she slowly thrusted in me driving me crazier with each move. "Fuck fuck fuck Shane yes!" I moaned trying my best not to be heard but to no avail. "Yeah baby you like that?" She asked as she started moving faster and faster. "Yes fuck! I love it" i moaned as my hands roamed allover her body trying to hold on from somewhere. My nails dug into her back making her let out grunts with every move she made. "Shane baby. I-I am so close" i breathlessly let out. She placed her lips on mine and thrusted harder and faster than before. My moans were muffled by her lips as i reached my high. "Oh my god Shane" i moaned as we pulled away for air. Her movements slowed down and her breathing became even before she stopped moving still with the toy inside me. She turned us around and I was now on her lap studying her features. Even though we were both pretty exhausted this position couldn't help but let me think about grinding down on her right now when we're both so sensitive. "You think you got one more in you baby?" I asked softly with my hands on her shoulders. She nodded rapidly before her hands found my waist. I started moving around with the toy hitting all the right spots while i could also feel the vibrator that got Shane off at the back of the toy. "Nika fuck just please move" she murmured trying to hold in her moans. I started going up and down on the toy while i closed my eyes trying not to let a sound out cause if i did i would wake the whole house up. "Come on baby just a bit more. You're doing so good for me" she whispered in my ear fuelling me even more. I went faster and faster until i felt my legs give out. When i couldn't move anymore her hands held me steadily as she pounded in me with such force i came so fast i was ashamed. Shane took off the strap and left it at the bathroom. She told me she would clean it the next day. Once she returned to the bed she got in and hugged me tightly pressing her front in my back. "You okay baby?" She asked softly. I turned around to look into her eyes and all i could see in them was love. Nothing more. "I love you so much Nika it's not even funny anymore" she mumbled as she took a strand of hair out of my face. "I love you too baby" i said as i welcomed her in my arms. She burried her head in my chest while she positioned herself in between my legs. Not long after her breathing got even and i could tell that she was asleep. I stayed up late that night wanting to capture every single moment of the eventful night. I wanted to remember the details from the day she first told me 'i love you'. This must be one of the greatest days of my life.
