He turns and looks at me seriously. “How are you feeling?”
“About?”
“Everything. Leaving Tripp. Being back with us. Being here at the estate. All those orgasms we gave you last night.”
“God, that’s a lot of questions.” I roll over onto my back and stare up at the ceiling. “I’m happy to be back here with you guys, but I feel like I'm lost, you know? Like my life really has no direction right now. Everything is so up in the air, and I feel untethered.”
He nods, and then a slow smile crosses his face. “And the orgasms?”
“Sufficient.” I don’t know how I keep a straight face. Last night was nothing short of mind blowing, but I can tell from his smug smile he knows it.
“Just sufficient? Guess I better practice, then,” he says with a wink as he disappears under the covers.
Forty-five minutes and three orgasms later, I walk into the kitchen to see a tired-looking Sawyer sitting at the island with a cup of coffee and his laptop. He’s got papers spread out on either side of him. He’s shirtless but has his glasses on. He looks up when I come into the room, and a big smile spreads across his face.
“Good morning, beautiful.” He holds an arm out for me tuck in beside him. “There’s coffee ready in the press.”
“Good morning. Thank you.” I step away to get a clean mug out of the dishwasher. “How long have you been working?”
“A few hours, I always wake up early.”
I open the fridge and grab a carton of eggs and some bacon. I haven’t cooked or done anything to be useful for them. That changes today. I’m not a great cook, but I can do something as simple as bacon and eggs for breakfast. Nolan should be finishing up soon and joining us.
“You hungry?” I ask. “I can make some breakfast for us.”
“Yeah, sounds great. Lake called this morning and said he’s sending someone to do a little self-defense training with you today.”
I stop what I’m doing and look at him. “Who?” The thought of letting a stranger be near me enough to touch makes my skin crawl.
“She’s a friend of his. Actually, she married a guy who went to FPA with us, but he was a few years younger.”
“You trust her?”
“Completely. You’ll like Lilith. She doesn’t take any shit from anyone. She should be here around eleven.”
I glance at the clock, that gives me a few hours to mentally prepare myself. It’s not that I don’t trust Lake and Sawyer’s judgement, it's just that I’ve had bad experiences with women in the past. The women Tripp wanted me to befriend in LA always seemed to be more interested in him, either in sleeping with him or social ladder climbing.
I try to hide my worries as I go about finishing breakfast. We sit down at the table and start digging in. Sawyer fills Nolan in on my self-defense lesson and tells me a bit more about her. I feel a little better about the whole thing now. Although not super excited to have things like this sprung on me.
I’m scrolling through a news outlet from LA when I hear the sound of a helicopter outside landing. When I walk outside, I see a sleek black helicopter with VI painted on the side. This must be Lilith. A tall, blonde woman exits and starts walking toward the house followed by a man with dark hair and a scowl I can see from here.
Nolan wraps his arm around my shoulders and walks beside me until we meet them on the sidewalk. I’m awestruck at how beautiful they both are. She has her hair up in a ponytail that still hits her mid back, and her eyes are an icy blue. He’s vaguely familiar, I must have seen him around Founder’s Ridge even though he is quite a bit younger than us. His green eyes narrow as he looks at me.
“Hey, Con.” Nolan greets the man with a nod. “Didn’t know you were coming out, too. This is Olivia Daniels. Olivia, this is Connor Volkov and his wife Lilith Nelson.”
She kept her own name, I like her already. I smile and nod at each of them.
“Please, as if he would let me go anywhere without his supervision.” She rolls her eyes.
“As if you want to fly without me.” He smirks at her, exposing a dimple and completely softening his stern face. She smiles back at him with a shake of her head.
“Where are we doing the training? Back in the training facility?” Lilith asks.
“No, we’ll do it in the house. I cleared space in the media room.”
Just the mention of the media room has me blushing. I doubt I’ll ever forget last night. We lead them into the house and upstairs. As I walk into the room, Nolan wraps his arm around my waist from behind and presses his lips to my ear.
“Every time I walk into this room, I’m going to remember you riding my face like an erotic angel.” He shifts his hips against me, pressing his erection into my backside.
