"You need to quit that thinking. There is no law in the whole damn universe that says you and him can't be together or give a relationship a try. No, he's not too good for you, so don't even try to give me that crap. You are a kick-ass bitch who would be anyone's prized catch, and if for some asinine reason, Stepan can't see that, then shame on him, but he's not fucking blind or stupid last I checked. And I don't want you settling because settling is for idiots and losers, which you're not. Stepan's not perfect either, so quit putting him so high on the goddamn pedestal because he is on the same playing field as you." Angel continued to drill into her friend.
After a brief pause filled with some deep breaths, Angel continued, "Stepan's not going to judge you for your past, not with how him and his brothers grew up, as I said before. Stepan will understand, and he'll do right by you, promise. I'm not trying to set you up and shit, but even you can't deny that he looks at you with a fire in his eyes. Hell, even I can see it too when he's come to me about questions regarding you."
That last bit seemed to have caught Hanna's attention greatly with how she pipped up excitedly. "He's asked about me? What's he asked about?"
Angel's soft, mischievous giggle could be heard before her words. "He's so cute, like bitch let me tell you, this dude was trying to be so sly. He was all like 'so your friend applied for a position at my company, why didn't you tell me' and blah blah blah 'so can you tell me more about her like what is she usually like, where does she like to go, anything she particularly likes' and like he would not stop with the questions for small details, it was so cute."
Little snitch.
"R-really? What did you tell him?" At least Hanna was genuinely interested.
"The truth, I mean he was asking for things like your favorite desserts, candy, snacks, foods, hobbies, those kind of things. Girl, he's got it BAAAAAAAD for you. You should have seen the way his face lit up when I answered his questions, and when he'd talk about how good you were doing and all that, girl, trust me, he's like a goner for you." Angel's tone was soft and happy, and I wouldn't be surprised if she had a goofy smile right now.
"He's too good… Which is why I can't... I just can't. I'm too fucked up and broken for him. He's got his life together, handsome as hell, rich, smart, perfect really. And I'm just, here, boring me, broken beyond repair." I hated how Hanna couldn't give herself the credit she deserved.
"Honey, he's a bratva boss, he don't got shit together. You think Nikolai is mister perfect like the media portrays him? No one is ever perfect, the Volkovs would be low on the list with us. Honestly, sometimes I want to strangle Nikolai. Seriously, Stepan's not perfect as a man, but he'd possibly be perfect for you. Honestly, the Volkovs would be the last people on earth to judge others for shitty childhoods. You just have to remember where Stepan comes from Hanna." Angel reminded Hanna sternly with a soft sigh at the end.
"Fine, whatever, but what if his tastes in bed don't line up with mine? You know how hard it is to find the right partner in bed as a switch. And also, I don't want to embarrass myself in bed. He's probably going to laugh or be disgusted when I call him Daddy. And I mean, you know how embarrassing it is to admit to someone you have Daddy issues?" Hanna groaned, and I could see her burying her face in her hands through the window.
I wanted to burst in there and prove her wrong. I wanted to pull her into my arms and hold her, assure her that her worries are all for naught because they are.
Angel was right; I didn't—and wouldn't—give a shred of care in the world about her past or how broken she claimed to be. No matter how much she liked to argue otherwise, I didn't see her as damaged. I'd take her and accept her fully, no matter her condition. If she saw herself as broken, I'd fix her, piece her back together until she was whole and better.
I didn't give a shit about her issues; we all had our issues, me included. Hell, I'd probably be seen as a bastard for exploiting the knowledge about her having Daddy issues. I fully intended to use everything to my advantage, no matter how dirty the tactic.
"And he has Mommy and Daddy issues along with the rest of his brothers, so trust me, you'll be fine in that department." Angel laughed softly along with Hanna.
"What? Don't tell me Nikolai calls you Mommy in bed." Hanna joked teasingly with a snicker.
"Har har missy, that ain't our thing." Angel retorted playfully. "Not like you're into anything extreme even when you are in a switchy mood, at most is Stepan gets tied up or cuffed to the bed while you're a total brat."
Fuck that sounds hot as hell.
Suppressing my groan behind my tensed jaw, I reached down to my crotch with one hand to adjust my growing erection. I might not be a sub, but the idea of switching with Hanna had my brain feeling woozy from how all the blood rushed down to between my legs.
"God, you have no idea how many times I've fantasized about him begging under me." Hanna's groan grew deep and long, and I could faintly see her hand slipping between her thighs as she lay down on her bed.
"Oh, don't worry, I know. I have my very little moments where I do enjoy riding Nikolai and making him beg. Trust me, Stepan will probably be more than fine with the rare occasion of rope play involving him on the receiving end, and whenever you wanna cuff him and shit. Honestly, you only want to switch like two out of ten times, and not like you go full Domme or anything, you just like to have your little moment of beg me for my pussy if anything. You'll be fine, just communicate with him." Angel sighed playfully with a chuckle.
Okay, maybe a little too much information there I didn't need to know. It's no secret that my brothers have lives in the bedroom; it's only human, but I didn't need to know details beyond the fact they have sex.
"I don't know... Well, doesn't matter, I've pushed him away, so it's better that way. I'll just see where things go with Logan, enjoy my little run with him for a while, then just part ways on friendly terms with him." Hanna sighed heavily, removing her hand from her legs and resting it next to her on the bed.
"Or, hear me out, or you can ditch Logan now and go figure your shit out with Stepan instead of wasting time and energy on a man who you don't even fully want." Angel remarked.
Huffing, she growled softly for a moment before responding to her friend. "I'll just see things out with Logan and have my fun, maybe I just need a good fucking to get Stepan out of my system."
Like hell I'd let that happen.
Oh, she's never going to be rid of me, ever.
"Well, as much as I want to keep chatting, Nikolai's home and he's—ah! Kolya, I'm on the phone." I could hear my older brother's faint voice through Angel's laugh before Hanna laughed and told her friend to go get some dick and hung up.
Tucking the phone away, I continued to watch Hanna in silence. This new routine I'd developed recently consisted of sitting and watching Hanna until she fell asleep for a long while. Then, it was home and bed for myself. Not tonight, though; there'd be a deviation once Hanna knocks out.
My expectations of her to throw back her meds and slumber away were disturbed greatly when Hanna started shifting, sliding her hands around her body, slipping one into her sleep shorts and the other under her shirt to her breast.
Fucking hell, is she seriously—fuck.
