“I know how much you enjoy it, and it’s no skin off my back,” Nikolai replied, dividing the eggs between two plates. “Whatever my wife wants, she can have it.”
It had been three months since everything went down, and the two of us have gone back and forth about me going back to work. I was having too much fun redecorating the condo to think about a job anyway, and it was one less stressor for Nikolai to keep me out of the working public.
Since I escaped to America, I had only ever rented, and it was refreshing to be able to add new layers of paint, change fixtures, and dream about new color combinations. Nikolai never had any qualms about it.
Once the food was ready, we gathered around the table with Kat and watched as she scribbled on some paper, already long done with her food. When she eyed the sliced strawberries on Nikolai’s plate, he asked if she wanted one, and after she nodded, he pushed it toward her like it was an airplane. He teased her, pulling it away before she could grab it, and she giggled.
Their laughter was a beautiful sound to me, and I couldn’t help but laugh along with them.
I loved how much he adored Kat. I always thought she was the best child to ever grace the world, and it was nice to have someone who agreed completely with me.
When Nikolai returned his attention to his plate, he murmured, “Dmitri was going to take Kat down to daycare this morning.”
Holding my breath, I thought of every excuse to get him to change his mind. I needed the spare moment for the surprise I had been planning all week. I sipped from my glass. “Would you be able to? Just for my peace of mind.”
Nikolai thought about it for a moment, then he nodded as he chewed. “I don’t see why not.”
With breakfast wrapped up, Nikolai took Kat downstairs, and I hurried to grab the gift bag I had gotten him, along with the small sign I painted. Placing them on the couch, I waited for Nikolai to walk through the door again.
The wait wasn’t long at all, as he come back in and gave me a look of acknowledgment before giving my backside a pat, already geared to get ready for work.
“Wait,” I said, grabbing his arm gently to guide him toward the living room. “I have a surprise.”
Nikolai cocked a brow in question, noticing the sign that read ‘happy anniversary!’. “What anniversary? We’ve only been married for three months.”
Giggling to myself, I took both his hands in mine and smiled up at him. “Today is the day we met for the first time all those years ago. It was probably the day Kat was conceived too.”
An even mixture of suspicion and confusion, he narrowed his eyes at me playfully. “You’re making this up, aren’t you?”
“Of course not! I swear it’s true,” I began, kissing the knuckles on both his hands. “I never got you out of my mind, so of course I’d never forget the date.”
Nikolai softened at the words, and he cupped my cheek before leaning in to press a gentle kiss against my lips. He let it linger, drawing out the delicate affection. Then, he turned his head to the side just enough to look at the present on the couch. He motioned toward it.
“But I didn’t get you anything,” he murmured in between kisses, slipping his free hand against my other cheek to hold me completely.
The warmth that filled my system turned me to mush, and it clouded my head. I melted into his touch, so overwhelmed by how easily he could turn me into puddy in his hands.
Then, the real surprise came back to me again, and I wriggled out of the robe. “I treated myself to something new.”
Nikolai pulled back just enough to get a good look at the lingerie set, eyes darkening all the while. His hands dropped from my face to take a step back and examine me completely. He was speechless.
A smug smile took over my face as I stood there, satisfied by his reaction. “You can count this as a gift for me if you want.”
Without having to say anything else, Nikolai lunged forward with his hungry gaze and pulled me into him, crashing his lips against mine. He took a deep breath in, then hummed his appeasement before tapping my ass again.
I took the hint and lifted myself so he could catch me, wrapping my legs around him.
Nikolai’s hold on me was enough to stir up my arousal, beyond ready for him. It didn’t take much for him to have me keening for him.
Not traveling far, he sunk into the couch, lip-locked with me as his fingers trailed up and down my back. I melded into his body, careful to keep the movements of my hips slow and teasing.
It didn’t take long for Nikolai to respond, pressing against me and straining in his pants. He smirked into the kiss, completely aware of how eager that made me. To know I didn’t need to bend over backward to have him lusting for more.
“This is your color,” he mumbled against my lips, taking one of the straps around my waist between his fingers before snapping it back against my skin playfully. “It’s a shame it won’t stay on long enough.”
Hushing my laughter against his mouth in a heated kiss, I reveled in the sensation of his palms gliding against my skin, taking the time to appreciate every inch.
Nikolai’s hands glided up my back until he found the clasp of my bra, taking only a moment to unhook it. It loosened and fell away from my chest, much to his delight.
