“It is so fabulous to finally meet you,” she says, smiling at me with her purple lipstick. She has white hair, -clearly, a wig- that has lime green dipped ends. “Nat has said so many wonderful things about you that I feel like we’re already friends.” Next to me, Nat clears her throat, and the colorful woman says, “Oh, right, um...” She looks a little frazzled and mumbles, “I will see you all later.”
She gets up from her seat and speeds out of the room. “We should all get some rest. You deserve it,” Stryker says. The team gets up, besides Nat, Alexie, and myself.
After they leave, I turn slightly to look at Nat. “I told them to give you space and not pressure you at all,” Nat clarifies. “BJ is very loving, but she can come on really strong, and I asked her to give you some time.”
“I think I’m going to like her,” I declare, and I truly believe that.
“Yes,” Alexie chimes in, “you will love Rainbow Sparkles.” He leans in and kisses my cheek again. “I must go meet with Boss-man to go over what happened with my father. Do not worry, my lovelies, I will return.” Alexie then lets go of my hands, gets up, and exits the room, leaving Nat and me alone again.
“Come on, let me show you around, and if you say the word, we can retreat to our room,” she says.
She leads me by the hand out of the dining room, and we enter the sitting room with the turquoise-colored furniture again. The large tattooed man is sitting on the sofa with a woman wrapping a bandage around his arm.
“What happened?” Nat asks.
Conrad responds, “Well, King here,” he gestures to the tattooed man,mental note that King is the alphahole as Nat described him earlier, “keeps popping stitches because he won’t just relax. Instead, he is choosing to take out a lot of pent-up aggression on the punching bags. Yes, I said bags because we’ve had to replace them twice already. So we’ve had to call the Las Vegas team’s nurse, Jaclyn, to come to bandage him back up. He’s been keeping her quite busy.” I feel Nat’s grip on my hand tighten. She was always a very jealous thing.
King continues to groan on the couch while the nurse works on him as Conrad steps towards us. “Katia, I wanted to properly introduce myself. I meant to do so in the hospital but didn’t feel it was the right time.”
“Sorry, I wasn’t being very receptive to anyone that came in my room-” he holds up a hand to stop me.
“There is no need to apologize. Take all the time you need, and when you are ready, I would like to go through some things with you,” he says, and I can feel a pit forming in my stomach. Of course, they’re going to want information from me. That means I’ll have to tell them what I’ve been through. It’s not the shame or embarrassment of it because I know it wasn’t my fault, but I don’t want them to feel sorry for me or look at me with more pity than they already are.
“Conrad is the computer genius,” Nat speaks up, distracting my wayward thoughts. “He’ll just want to get some information so he can do his computer whiz things. Hopefully, that will lead us to find Andrei and Ivan and, finally, put a stop to this.”
Suddenly, Nat releases my hand and marches over to King. She grips the nurse’s hand that is on King’s thigh and rips it off. “Are you done trying to fuck him now? Maybe then you can fix his stitches and get the fuck out of here?” Nat asks her harshly.
“Excuse me?” the nurse asks.Bad idea, Nurse Jaclyn.
“You are here to fix his arm, so there is no reason for your whore of a hand to be roaming up and down his thigh!” Nat replies. “And it’s not very professional to be telling your patient how much you just loooove his tattoos and can tell he works out. How desperate are you?” Nat leans back with her arms folded, staring down at the nurse.
The nurse stands up, grabbing her bag. “I’m leaving. I will not be treated this way,” she states with her nose in the air.
Nat snatches the bag from the nurse’s arm. “I’ll fix him up myself. Don’t let the door hit your slut-ass on the way out.”
The nurse quickly turns and rushes from the room. I can’t hide my smile because this is classic Nat. She was always making sure the women and the occasional man knew that Alexie was hers. Nat sits on the sofa next to King and grabs the needle and thread the nurse left dangling from his arm. She gets to work on fixing his stitches.Not the first time she’s done this.I sit on the couch opposite them.
“Ouch!” King exclaims loudly. “I thought you knew how to do this.”
“I do, and I know how to make it hurt just a bit while still getting the job done,” she says, and King looks at her with his jaw dropped open. “Don’t act all innocent, Mr.-I-just-let-the-pretty-little-nurse-feel-me-up-while-she-patches-up-my-arm.” Nat loops the thread one more time and cuts it. “Done!” she says as she stands from the couch.
“I don’t think so,” King says, and he wraps his arms around her waist, pulling Nat onto his lap. He presses his lips firmly to hers, and she kisses him back.Is it awkward that I’m kind of enjoying this?He pulls back, saying, “Don’t think for a second that I would fuck that trash. You are the only one I intend on making scream my name.” He lifts her off of him and swats his hand across her ass cheek. She giggles, and then I notice Alexie standing in the entryway.Oh shit, he’s going to kill this man.If I ever thought Nat was a jealous person, it was nothing compared to him. Alexie once killed someone for whistling at Nat.
“Let me guess. The Prince-y here,”Prince-y?I thought his name was King, “upsetMalyshka, and now, he is trying to make it up to her with promises of filthy pleasure. How close am I?”
Nat laughs and walks over to Alexie and kisses him as well.What the fuck is happening? Did I actually die, or did I enter the twilight zone?Something feels very different, but it doesn’t feel bad.
King gets up from the couch. “Not even close, Volkov,” he says as he walks out of the room past Nat and Alexie.
“I was right, wasn’t I?” he asks Nat.
“You were right,” she answers and kisses him once more. “I’m going to take Katia to my room so we can get some rest.”
Alexie places an arm around Nat’s waist and pulls her close, asking, “Do you need assistance in relaxing?”
“Not tonight,” she replies and walks out of his grasp towards me. She grabs my hand again, telling him, “just me and Katia tonight.”
“The sweetest of dreams to you both,” Alexie says as he blows two kisses in our direction and heads out of the room as well.
