Uhh, okay, rude.
“H-hey, put me down, I can walk by myself.” God this was embarrassing! First, I get kidnapped after a long ass shift, then get my ass sedated, wake up from said sedation in nothing but my undies, get pushed into an arranged marriage, and now I’m being carried out like some helpless damsel. Just fucking great.
“I know you can, but you have no shoes on. I’m not letting you walk anywhere but our home barefooted.” Nikolai responded, tightening his grip on me when I started slipping a little.
“Our home...” The words sounded so stiff and foreign to me.
Remaining quiet, I clung onto the front of his shirt with one hand while using the other to keep his jacket secured around me. I let him carry me to the SUV and set me inside in the backseat before climbing in next to me, letting himself be squished by one of his brothers because he took the middle seat.
Did all of them have to cram into this suffocating car and make things more unbearable? I saw the other cars on the way out, so why couldn’t they fill those and leave the newlyweds alone? Also, this just felt so awkward, being shoved into a car with all these big burly men. Hell, I’m surprised they all managed to fit into the damn car without being pressed up against the windows like some overstuffed cartoon car.
But just fucking great.
I was stuck in the middle of a pack of wolves.
CHAPTER 6
Nikolai
“How come Stepan getsshotgun?” Arseny grumbled in the very back row.
“Because I’m older, so shut it.” Stepan chuckled while turning back to look at Angel who sat in her seat with her legs curled up to her chest. “Welcome to the family! Sorry if this wasn’t how you planned to spend your night, but I can assure you that we’re all surprised as well. I’m Stepan by the way, the second oldest. Mister lucky tonight is Nikolai, the oldest. The scowling menace next to him is Lev, the third oldest. Lastly the twins in the back, Arseny and Alexei.”
“Hello! Welcome to the family! I promise we’re not allthatbad!” The twins said in unison, popping their heads up towards Angel.
“Nice to see you again!” Arseny threw a friendly grin at Angel, reaching over and patting her shoulder.
“Also, probably a rude question, but where are your clothes?” Alexei asked, earning a soft glare from me.
“They cut them off me, apparently scrubs aren’t appealing for a marriage proposal.” Angel replied in a low voice as she turned her attention to the floor. “They caught me at the end of a long ass shift. Didn’t even have time to change before they jumped me.” She grumbled with a cute little pout on her lips.
A moment later, she looked up at me with mixed eyes I couldn’t fully discern. I could see some wariness, hesitation, and lust...?
Reaching up, I tucked away her stray strands of hair behind her ear. It was so tempting to bring her up to me and kiss her right now. Then I could finally taste those luscious lips that have haunted my dreams for the past months. The temptation to kiss her earlier was hard to resist, but I knew if I did, then I wouldn’t stop. I also had an image to uphold.
“You’re in good hands, you have nothing to be worried or scared about. Besides, you should be used to this life already.” I don’t know why she seemingly made a big deal out of this. This was the life she was born into, and grew up in.
