Russian Mountain Man: An Instalove Possessive Alpha Romance (A Man Who Knows What He Wants Book 156)
Page 7
My real birth day, from that day, I learned how to live.
Now, my father is older, but not slow in his mind or in his body. Like me, he likes the fresh air and is active, slowed down some by illness here and there, but always wanting to arm wrestle me the rest of the time.
Haylie.
She’s my beautiful woman, my wife now. I remembered about people and their customs, so we had a wedding, with father and some friends of both families there. But all I remember from the day is Haylie. Seeing her in a dress that looked like snowflakes, all snow but warm and soft, like her skin when I touch it.
She knows like me our wedding was the day I claimed. When she presented herself to me and showed me where to make her mine.
That was our real wedding. Thankfully, happily, we get to have our proper wedding like that, almost every night, sometimes twice a night if she stays awake.
Tonight is special. We’ve come back to my cabin, in the forest. Alone.
The weather is good now, the storm season has passed for another year and Haylie wanted to come and set up her equipment, set up her gear to get ‘data’ to show my father.
She asks me sometimes if I want to talk about Yeti and I always say, “Not yet.”
And she laughs. “Not yet, or not Yeti?”
I always frown at that one.
One day, maybe soon when I have my own son, Yeti will come again. And I can show him what the life he helped me to keep gave us both. Maybe I will never see Yeti again, but he lives in my heart, like the forest. Like the trees. Like Haylie now.
Something I keep secret and safe.
Sacred.
Like family.
I’ve even gotten to like some of the food from Haylie’s world. She even has some good recipes which we can cook when we stay in the cabin. Which will be often now, and whenever the weather is good.
Roasting meat I know about, but cornbread and sweet treats, things baked in the Dutch oven over coals, those are all things I wish I knew about sooner.
And coffee. I love coffee.
A stick in a mug of water is one thing, but Haylie’s second greatest gift to me, apart from herself, was taking me to have my first coffee.
We share a pot after dinner and she teases me. Knowing I’m trying to keep her awake so I can stay up half the night, pleasuring her, mountain man style. The only way I know she likes it.
“What is it?” I ask her, always knowing when there’s something on her mind. Her eyes are shining and her face glowing, like she has a proud secret of her own.
“Guess!” she squeals, and I frown.
“Nikki…guess…” she says and rubs her hand over her belly. Sticking it out to show me, which makes me hard straight away. I love her curvy body and when she sticks her belly out, especially on all fours…
The neighbors in the building, in our city home called the police a few times. When I howled, after finishing inside her. They thought we had a wild dog in the house.
“Are you guessing, or undressing?” she asks and I have to admit, I forgot the question, looking at her has that effect on me.
“We’re gonna have a baby,” she says, her voice breaking and I hear a similar sound coming out of me, shocked and so happy, like my life is only just beginning.
So happy to have Haylie to share it with and eager to share it with our child too.
“But how…” I ask, and it’s Haylie’s turn to frown.
“C’mon, Nikki… do you need me to tell you about the birds and the bees?”
I laugh, but I meant how come I didn’t know. I must be losing my touch, too much city food and hot water. Too much television and computer screens. I’m fed up with all that stuff now, and it’s why I can never wait to get back to the woods, back to our real home.
“Tell me we’ll still come here, to our place here in the woods…”
“Come here? I want us to live here! We can travel back to the city sometimes. But I want us to be a family, raise our family out here, as much as we can… I was hoping you’d agree on that…”
“I love you, Haylie,” I tell her, meaning it more than ever and hoping she knows that.
“I know you do,” she replies, kissing me. Whispering in my ear before nibbling it, sliding her hand down the front of my jeans, “More than ever…”
EXTENDED EPILOGUE
Haylie
“Sasha! don’t go too near the edge!”
I know he won’t but I can’t help it. A boy his age, with half my genetic code for clumsiness… but his dad’s not far behind and I know Sasha listens to his dad more than he does to me.
It took some doing, but I finally got the college to not only transfer me to Siberia permanently. With Nikolai’s assistance, and his experience, we got our own research grant to set up the station base, which doubles as our mountain home.
“What do you mean you don’t want to hunt for the Yeti!” the professor cried, almost heartbroken when we announced we’d be researching wolves and setting up the region’s first national sanctuary, monitoring their breeding and hunting behaviors, preserving their habitat and making sure they have every chance of survival in an ever changing world.
I squat down, trying to grab a specimen of hair with my tweezers, but my belly is too big now. So I get down on all fours, easily plucking the tuft of wolf hair from the low branch and slipping it into a specimen jar.
Getting down is easy, but getting up is another thing and the familiar, low growl behind me lets me know help is close at hand.
“I thought you were with Sasha?” I ask Nikolai, not wanting him to be alone near the ledge.
“It’s alright,” Nikolai reassures me, “he’s up a tree now…”
Great.
I try not to baby him, either of my boys, but Nikolai and Sasha, they’re my whole world and I just shudder to think how I’d cope if-
“Then don’t.” Nikolai reminds me, kissing my forehead as he helps me up, swatting my butt just hard enough to make me want to get down on all fours for him again.
“Wait ‘til Sasha’s asleep,” Nikolai warns me, “then I’ll show you a wolf that comes when you present like that for him…”
“Sasha’s up a tree, you said,” I tease him.
“Don’t even tempt me,” Nikolai growls, holding me from behind, his huge forearms almost looking normal size when he wraps them around my huge belly.
“I think I might be having a mammoth… just to forewarn you,” I tell him jokingly.
“Don’t even try to make me jealous. No wonder mammoths are extinct, if I caught one even looking at you…”
I hold Nikolai’s hands harder over my belly, registering the baby moving inside me. The little piece of both of us that we made, that we’ll love and raise, out here, where the world’s always perfect.
“Can it get any better than this?” I ask Nikolai.
“Only with each day I have you, Sasha and whoever our mystery guest in here is,” he assures me.
“I love you Nikolai,” I tell him for the millionth time, and I feel my heart swell the same way it does each time I tell him.
“It’s a feeling more than a word, isn’t it?” he confirms for me, “but I love the word too, as much as I love you, my darling she-wolf…”
“And I love you, Nikolai. My mountain man.”
Father of my children.
Protector of our forest.
Keeper of my heart.
My Nikolai.
