"That's the most insane thing to come out of your mouth yet. I'm not a chosen anything. I'm the girl who has been locked up in a tower by an evil sorcerer scientist my entire life and had no idea about it because he made me believe I was dying and magic was not real!" she said and then clapped a hand over her mouth. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to shout. I'm just…"
"Freaking out? Totally natural and okay to do so," Kaspian said and placed another pancake on her plate. "Keep eating. You will feel better."
Vladik's thumb continued to rub soothing circles on her skin. "You shouldn't worry about any of this for now. You're here, and you're safe. You didn't need to be rescued, puppy. You did it all by yourself. You're incredible. Let me take it from here for a little while, okay?"
Zori nodded, emotionally exhausted. She wanted to curl up around Vladik and sleep for a month. She knew Maxim was the enemy and that he didn't really care about her the way she thought. She still couldn't help feeling sad over it.
There were times that had been good with him. He'd never hit her or tried to fuck her. He'd always let her study whatever she wanted and never held back that side of her curiosity.
"Is it bad that I feel upset over Maxim?" she asked in a small voice.
"No, of course not. You had no idea what he was really like, Zori. He was…your family. A fucked-up version of it, but the only one you had," Vladik replied. She knew how much he hated Maxim, and he still wasn't judging her over it.
Zori leaned into his side, and he moved his hand from her neck to wrap around her shoulders. The touch and the warmth of him made her feel grounded and safe. She was so touch starved that she marveled at the comfort he gave her with a simple hug.
"I have packed you both some supplies for the journey in case no one has stocked the safe house for a while," Kaspian said and started clearing the dishes and stacking them into the dishwasher.
"Thanks, Kas. I don't trust the roads at the moment," Vladik replied.
"So you shouldn't. Maxim's not an idiot. He'll have people watching them. Zori has cold weather gear so she doesn't freeze. I'd stick to the clouds even at night."
"It's okay I've got it covered." Vladik frowned. "Are you sure I can't convince you to come with us? It's not going to be safe in Moscow for a while."
"I can't just leave the gym. I'll follow once I can organize someone to take over running it. Besides, we all know Irina isn't going to let this go. You might need eyes in Moscow for whatever happens next," Kaspian replied. He smiled at Zori. "It was nice to meet you, princess. You're good for old Iron Heart."
Zori tried not to blush at the praise. It was strangely nice that Vladik's friend approved of her. "Thank you, especially for the clothes and pancakes. I hope we can catch up again soon."
"Me too. Get some rest. And I meanrest," he said with a pointed look. Vladik flipped him off, making Zori giggle. She didn't know what it was like to have friends, but it was nice to see them bantering with each other.
Vladik came back into the kitchen, a smile on his face. "I really like seeing you in my house."
"Do you?" Zori bit her bottom lip. She still didn't know what to do with the surge of desire every time he focused that grin on her.
Vladik stroked her cheek. "I do. I can keep you safe here, so it calms my beast down. It's the first time since we met that he's stopped clawing at me."
"Really? That's kind of sweet."
"You think so? It's been torture. Now all it wants to do is rub itself all over you. It has no manners at all."
Zori's whole body clenched with sudden desire. Vladik's smile widened, like he somehow knew.
"You know, puppy, you do need to get some rest, and I know a good way to help you sleep," he said, helping her out of the chair.
"Oh? And what's that?" she asked innocently. Vladik tilted her head back and kissed her. It was slow and sweet until she nipped at his lips and a growl rumbled through his chest. He picked up and carried her back into the bedroom, his tongue flicking against hers.
God, the man could fucking kiss. It was like he couldn't get enough of her.
Vladik laid her back on the bed, his mouth moving its way down her neck. She felt the scrape of his teeth against her skin and her pussy clenched.
"Fuck me, please," she begged. Vladik rolled his big body against hers, and her breath stuttered.
"We don't have time for all the things I would want to do with you, and you are still recovering from your first shift," Vladik said, lifting his head long enough to kiss her again. "I am going to make you come for me, puppy. You need it, and I need it."
"I do need it," she stammered, her brain and mouth not able to work properly with his hands on her. He unbuttoned her shirt, tossing it to one side with her bra. She didn't hide her breasts from him, just let him look.
"Damn, you're gorgeous," Vladik said, his big hand cupping one of them and running his thumb over the small ring she had in her nipple. "I love these. One day, I'm going to tie a pretty little ribbon to them so I can tug at them while I fuck you."
Zori's breath caught just thinking about it. "You can't say things like that andnotfuck me."
