Attraction | V.N Y.K [Book 1] ✔️

Chapter 17 - Moye Solntse (My Sunshine)

I lay in my bed and stare up at the ceiling. The memories from Viktor and I's previous kiss flash through my head, haunting me.

I can't believe I got so fired up. I've never felt so eager for something in my entire life.

Even though now I know Viktor doesn't want me like that, I can't help but feel like something was there. He did start the kiss; and when I was in the middle of kissing him, he kissed right back, no hesitation. I felt something like sparks fly between us.. but that was probably just me.

Viktor Nikiforov is the most famous, attractive figure skater in the world, no doubt about it. He's got a hell of a body and the way he skates never fails to entrance everyone around him.

So then why would he kiss me? What makes me so special that he would start something like that?

I feel my head start to hurt from all the thinking and stress. I stand up and walk over to my door to go out and skate for awhile, but when I open my door, the very first thing I see is Viktor.

He's already standing right in front of my door, obviously about to knock so he can come in. I feel my heart start to beat faster and my face becomes hot.

No, I'm not ready to see him yet..

It'll be awkward, and painful..

"S-sorry, I'm going out to-"

Suddenly he walks closer to me and I back up, not wanting him to run me over. He gets into my room and closes the door, then walking closer to me again. Confusion falls over my body as he keeps walking closer to me, sooner or later backing me into a wall.

"V-viktor, what-"

He's standing right in front of me, a hand rested on the wall above me. I cut my words when I see the sad expression on his face.

"What.. what is it, Viktor?" I ask quietly. "What's wrong?"

He stays silent for a second and then a tear slides down his cheek. My eyes widen and I lift my hands, trying to think of something to do.

"V-viktor, why-"

"Why did you leave me back there, Yuri?" He asks quietly. I feel myself freeze.

"Wh-what? You said we couldn't.."

More tears start to escape his eyes as he stands only a foot away from me.

"I said that because you said you weren't bothered by forgetting the kiss!" He somewhat shouts, sobbing a little.

..what?

"What? I'm confused, Viktor." I say, reaching a hand up and wiping some tears from his eyes.

"You said you weren't bothered by forgetting the kiss, and that it would be easy! So I figured that as you didn't want to kiss me, and back there you were only doing it to make me happy," he fades off. "I didn't mean I wanted to stop."

My eyes widen. He didn't want to stop? Does that mean..?

"So you want to c-continue, then..?" I ask, blushing. His eyes light up and a small smile falls over his face. He turns around and walks towards the door.

"Wait, wha-"

He then locks the door and turns back around, looking into my eyes. I feel my face get hot and I stare back at him.

Moments pass. And more.

Suddenly he starts walking towards me and puts his arm around my waist, lifting up my head with a finger rested underneath my chin.

"Yuri, we're not going to go to far, okay?" He states. "Only kissing, my dear." He whispers, leaning over to where his breath is fawning over my neck.

"O-okay." I respond. We stay like that for a couple moments before he gently kisses below my ear. I feel a shiver run down my spine and I hold back a groan, sealing my lips shut. He brings his face in front of mine and before I know it, he's brought his lips down on top of mine, starting out with a gentle kiss but eventually leading to something more passionate.

I put my arms around his waist as he puts his hands on my jawline and I deepen the kiss. Emotions start to flood through me as he kisses back deeply. He bites my bottom lip as request to enter my mouth and I allow him to.

I do the same to him and my tongue roams his mouth, exploring every part of it. I clutch onto him tighter as we both pull out of the kiss to breathe but then immediately go back in. I can feel my heart almost beating out of my chest which only makes the situation more heated.

What does this mean? Am I a toy? Or does he actually like me?

"Yuri." He breathes out. "Put you're hand on my heart."

My face becomes red but I raise one of my arms, resting my hand on his chest. His heart is beating just as fast as mine and I can feel my eyes widen.

Gently he moves his head down and rests his cheek on my chest, right over my heart. If possible, my face gets hotter and my heart rate does speed up.

"We're even," he sighs happily. I bite my lip and clutch onto the fabric of his shirt where his heart is.

"I-I'm glad." I stutter. He brings his head back up and smiles softly at me. I feel myself get lost in his gorgeous blue eyes and he laughs a little.

He walks over to my bed and lays down, getting comfortable.

"What time is it?" He asks, sounding tired yet happy.

"9:47." I respond. I hadn't realized how late it really was considering I'd been in here all day after my performance contemplating about Viktor.

"Perfect." He says. He then opens up his arms and I feel a blush fall over my cheeks. "Come on, I wanna cuddle with Yurii~" he says, almost pouting. I giggle slightly but then walk towards him, laying down in the bed and making myself comfortable on his chest.

He's so adorable.

"You're so adorable." He whispers into my ear, then coming up and kissing my cheek. I feel my eyes widen for a moment from his comment but then I slowly close them, moving closer into his embrace and wrapping my arms around his back.

"I was just thinking the same thing about you." I respond. He laughs slightly but then sighs, running his fingers through my hair.

"Yuri?" He asks.

"Yes?" I respond. 

"So then.. You don't want to forget?" He asks, his voice low yet soft. I smile against his chest.

"No." I say. "I never wanted to."

I can feel his heart beat faster against the side of my face and I sigh in contentment.

"Me either," he says. "I said that because I thought it was what would make you happy."

"Well, you were wrong." I say, laughing. He laughs with me and then we both fall into silence.

"I'm glad I was." He whispers. "I've never been so happy to be wrong in my entire life."

I feel my heart beat gradually grow faster but I just wrap my arms around him tighter.

"Good night, Viktor." I say.

He stays silent for a couple seconds before responding.

"Good night, moye solntse."
