He’s just not a danger to me.
His fingers brush over my temple as he asks, “What are you thinking?”
“How lucky I am that I’m no longer your enemy.”
He chuckles, a hot smile spreading over his face. He pulls me closer and kisses my forehead before pushing a menu into my hands. “What do you want to eat,moya lyubov'?”
Shaking my head at the sudden change in conversation, I decide on French toast and bacon.
Even though Nikolai just beat the shit out of a guy for talking to me, I feel even safer with him than before.
While Nikolai places our orders with a server, I stare at him again.
Maybe I should open up to him? He’s done nothing but support me.
God, he might already know what happened to me. If that’s the case, I’m sitting here worrying over nothing.
Shit, should I speak to him about the rape or not?
Nikolai turns his attention back to me, then gives me a loving smile.
He said he loved me.
He’s been honest about his feelings. Maybe it’s time I do the same.
Chapter 27
Nikolai
After a long day, I’ve just taken a shower when I hear a knock at the door.
I grab a towel and wrap it around my waist before walking to the living room. “Who is it?”
“It’s Abbie.”
My lips curve up, and when I open the door, Abigail’s eyes go wide as saucers.
“Oh…ahh…oh.” She tilts her head as her gaze drifts up and down my body.
“I just got out of the shower. Come in.” I wait for her to enter the suite before I shut the door behind her, then say, “Make yourself at home. I’ll be back in a minute.”
She nods, her eyes not leaving my body.
I’m fucking relieved to see she’s still attracted to me, and I can’t stop from grinning as I walk to the bedroom. I leave the door open as I drop the towel, and grabbing a pair of sweatpants, I pull them on.
When I return to the living room, Abigail’s standing in front of the windows, staring out over the gardens.
She turns around, and her eyes get stuck on my chest again, then she shakes her head. “Ah, I wanted to ask you a favor.”
“Anything,” I murmur as I move closer to her.
She takes a deep breath before asking, “Would you mind if I slept here?”
A smile spreads over my face. “Of course not.”
I take a chance and wrap my arm around her before gently tugging her closer.
She tilts her head back, uncertainty dancing in her eyes. “You’re not going to ask why?”
