It was the blonde from last night. The one Alexei said was his sister.
I stopped short, a few inches from her and smiled tentatively.
She turned and smiled at me. “Nora! Hi.”
I was startled that she knew my name. “Er… hi?”
Her smile widened. “I heard that guy calling your name last night. I’m not some stalker, don’t worry.”
I smiled tentatively back. “I didn’t think that.”
“Didn’t you?” Her lips twisted sardonically. “In any case, I enjoyed your set. It was… illuminating.”
I quirked an eyebrow in spite of myself. “In what way?”
She beckoned for me to come closer with her finger. I stepped up to her, awkwardly giving her my ear.
“I know what you’re up to,” she whispered.
CHAPTERTWENTY
ALEXEI
“Oh great, you’ve met,” I said as I stepped out from my office where I’d gone to check my messages.
Nora and Katya were leaning towards each other on the kitchen island. Nora was dressed in my robe, and I felt my dick twitch with pleasure at the thought of her in my clothes.
I told it to shut the hell up and stand down as I walked towards them. I saw that Nora was looking a little peaked, and I narrowed my eyes at my sister.
“Katya, I trust you’ve been behaving?”
She widened her eyes at me with fake innocence. “Of course.”
I flicked a glance at Nora, cocking an eyebrow at her to ask if she was okay. She gave me a small smile and blushed, looking away.
“Aww, that’s so cute,” Katya said.
Of course, she’d seen that.
I returned my glare to her. “Did you need something Kat? I wasn’t expecting you this morning.”
“Well, I thought we could have breakfast,” she said, getting to her feet. “But I can see that I’m intruding so I’ll take off. Nora? A pleasure to meet you.” Katya leaned in and kissed her cheek. This seemed to bother Nora even more judging by how much paler she became.
She nodded awkwardly and stretched her lips in a rictus of a smile.
“You too,” she rasped.
I stared at her in concern, but she avoided my gaze too.
I really didn’t get what was happening.
Katya took off, and then there were two. Circling the island, I went to the kitchen counter where breakfast was gently steaming in the chafing dish, most likely delivered from the club by Sevastian and picked up from the lobby by Katya as she came up.
I filled two plates high with scrambled eggs, fried tomatoes, baked sausage and bacon and refried beans with a side of guac. Putting a plate down in front of Nora, I expected to hear a protest on the magnitude of food or maybe for her just to pick at it, but she picked up her fork and dug in without a word.
With an inner shrug, I poured her some coffee and brought it to her before making my own plate. We ate in silence for a while.
“You know, my sister’s perfectly harmless. No need to be afraid of her.”
