The Romanoffs

Chapter 12.

I wake up snuggled in Nadei's arms, while he's still asleep I turn to face him and slowly trace my fingers over his face. I watch as he sleeps so peacefully one hand under his head and the other holding me tight.

I run my finger over his well-groomed beard and soft lips. I see his nose twitch slightly and softly kiss the tip of his nose. As I lean back I see a little smile curl across his lips.

"Oh, you little asshole you're up!" I whisper

"I was just enjoying you admiring me baby"

I roll my eyes and Nadei pulls me in for a rough and hungry kiss, he pulls me closer and I wrap my arms around his neck.

"Mmmmm...moya printsessa I fucking love waking up to you in my arms every day"

I smile and lay my head on his chest and listen to his heartbeat. He places soft kisses on my head and I snuggle tighter.

"So....tell me more about your family. Is Ivan your only brother?"

I hear him softly chuckle.

"No actually, I'm one of 5 children 4 boys 1 girl. Ivan is the oldest, then Aleksander's father Viktor, there's me.....and Anna is the baby." Nadei eyes wander out the window and I hear him sigh softly.

"Ok I know I'm a mess but that's only 4 people."

Nadei softly kisses my forehead and sighs. "Misha my younger brother. He's only two years younger than I. We were so close....but times have changed"

I watch as memories start to cloud his mind, fuck I should've never brought that up. I gently caress his cheek and he smiles down at me. "I'm sorry we don't have to talk about it if you don't want to"

"All in time my love. Now I need to head into the office early today will you be ok alone all day?"

"Yeah, I was thinking of inviting Kimberly over! It'll be nice to have a girl to chat with, I mean your men don't speak to me much anyways" I roll my eyes

"Good then they're doing their job" he kisses me softly before hopping out of bed and heads into the shower.

Nadei has been gone a few hours and I pour myself and two extra cups of coffee. I slowly open the apartment door and find Gerald leaning with one foot on the wall and Boris just walking back and forth in the hallway. Poor guys are probably bored as hell all day.

"Nicole! Sorry, you startled us" Boris jumps slightly when he sees me. I watch his eyes trail up my body and realize I'm wearing nothing but one of Nadei's oversized T-shirts. Gerald stands with his arms crossed and watching Boris.

"Sorry boys just thought I would bring you guys some coffee!" I present them each with a cup and Boris takes the coffee with one hand and strokes my arm with his other. Gerald just smiles and nods to the small table where I always place his cup.

"Any special plans today?"

"I'm thinking of inviting Kimberly over today for some girl chat!" I excitedly say as she's the first female I've met from this "tribe" as she called it.

"Oh Vlads wife? You two will get along great, paint some nails, do some boy talk, etc, etc"

I roll my eyes at his sexist statement.
"Yes Boris because that's all we women think about you boys and looking pretty"
