“What is this for?” he licked his lips.
“Two reasons,” she said when she was halfway undressed. “One, you won the bet about us having a girl. And two… doc says I’m good to go.”
That was all Nikolai needed to hear before he hauled her up over his shoulder and took her to the bedroom. They made up for all the weeks they could not have sex locking themselves in the penthouse for two days just going at it.
Audrina was already pregnant by the time they got married. She did not know at the time until Nikki had given her a pregnancy test as a wedding gift -and as a joke- but when she took it the morning after the wedding she was shocked.
That was nearly three months ago.
“What are we going to do with another little baby?”
Nikolai smiled warmly and then looked down at little Anastasia. “Same as we do with this one.”
She sighed. “We haven’t even got the chance to go on our honeymoon yet and here comes baby number two.”
“Soon, my love. We can take off where ever your heart desires,” he promised. “Work is slow right now so… Where are you going Sergei?” Nikolai said noticing they were taking a detour down the coast.
Sergei glanced at Audrina in the mirror with a small smile and she quickly reached into her bag and pulled out a blindfold.
“Put this on,” she said to Nikolai pushing the black piece of material into his hand. “Quickly.”
Nikolai looked at her with a frown, not understanding her impatience. He was hesitant at first. The idea of being blind folded was not appealing to him.
“Please,” she pouted.
Seeing her big, pleading, honeyed eyes melted him to the core and he obeyed, fastening the silky material around his head and tying it securely.
“No peeking,” she said sternly.
“I can’t see anything.”
After about five minutes of silence, Nikolai could not take it anymore.
“Where are we going?” he asked.
“Almost there,” she said squeezing his hand reassuringly.
Another few minutes passed by until the car came to a complete stop. Sergei exited the car first followed by Audrina with Anastasia in her arms. She came around to the right side of the car where Nikolai was still seated and still blindfolded in the backseat. She opened the door for him and grabbed his hand.
“Come on.”
Nikolai carefully exited the car, clutching onto her hand as she lead him away. Nikolai felt a familiar breeze on his face and the unmistakable scent of salt and sea. He could hear the seagulls sound overhead and the breeze whip across his cheeks.
“Watch your step baby,” Audrina whispered as he stepped down. He heard Anastasia babble while Audrina positioned his body with one hand.
His heart raced and he could feel his breathing pick up. He wasn’t nervous but he did not like being blindfolded as he could not see what was going on around him. He could hear movements on the right side of him and then feel Audrina’s hands of the back of his head where he secured the knot of the blindfold.
With deft fingers, she untied the knot and then whispered close to his ear right before she let the fabric fall, “Happy early Birthday.”
Nikolai was at a loss for words. Before him stood a huge, near 50ft catamaran with two, white parallel hulls and a polished deck. He was amazed by how much the boat looked like his vision he had for the last few years.
“What do you think?” Audrina asked, biting her thumb nail, awaiting his reaction.
“You bought me a boat?” he asked, still gazing at the magnificent boat in front of him.
“I wanted to surprise you,” she said. “You’re always buying me jewelry, coats, cars, and taking care of everyone around you and you never do anything for yourself, so I thought what can I get the man who can buy whatever he wants but never does… why not a boat?”
Nikolai was speechless. He turned to her and glanced at Sergei behind her who was holding a giddy Anastasia close to his chest. Sergei just gave him a reassuring smile and nodded his head in approval.
“I was happy when you bought me a keychain Audrina,” Nikolai stated lowly. “But a boat…”
He knew she had bought this with the money from the fortune. Even though he had given her access to all his money, her own bank account, - that he had placed a large considerable amount in on top of what she already had- as well as his own and a joint one, she hardly ever used them.
“Is it not the one you want?” she blanched and then whipped her head to Sergei.
“No, it is more than I could have asked for,” he said quickly reaching out for her hand and bringing her closer to him. He wrapped an arm around her waist, still looking at the boat in awe. “I just, I’m not used to receiving gifts… especially a gift this grand.”
“I know,” she whispered, looking up at his handsome face. “But you told me once that if you could you would buy a boat and sail the world… and your birthday is in two weeks.”
Nikolai grasped her face in his hands, not caring that Sergei was watching, and kissed her, tongue and all, leaving her moaning into his mouth.
“I love it,” he whispered against her lips. “Thank you very much.”
She kissed his chin and then pulled him towards the boat with a carefree smile. “Come on.”
Nikolai turned back to Sergei who was leaving the dock with Anastasia in his arms. Before Nikolai could ask where Sergei was going with their child, she said, “Don’t worry, Sergei is going to wait in the car with the baby while I give you a tour, Captain.”
He chuckled at the pet name she had given him and excitedly boarded the boat.
The inside of the boat was luxurious. Nikolai nearly bumped his head a few times -given his height- but the interior was quite spacious. Audrina obviously knew nothing about boats as she could not explain certain aspects but her attempts were endearing to Nikolai.
Everything from the floorboards to the walls were solid wood -except for the massive window that overlooked out- and the furniture inside the main saloon was pale grey and beige. The kitchen to the left side kept the same theme of airy and crisp.
“You can always redecorate,” she said pulling him further in. “There is an office, two bathrooms, and I think the man said there are another two cabins in here so if you ever want Sergei, Nikki and Svetlana to hop aboard there’s plenty of room,” she explained as she pulled him through the main cabin which still kept the same theme and opened a door leading them into the master cabin.
The room was dark wood and the king sized bed in the middle of the room was black satin with gold pillow accents, like his room back in his penthouse.
“What do you think?” she whispered when they were both standing before the bed.
He smiled. “I think that Sergei is going to be in the car a long time.” And he kissed her again.
She hugged his body close to hers as he kissed her some more. He trailed kisses all over one side of her jaw and neck and then the top of her breasts where her black dress accentuated her full breasts high. His hands roamed up her body and down, feeling every curve and dip before resting on her lower back.
“I think he can watch little Anastasia for ten minutes,” she said and unexpectedly pushed him onto the bed. He laughed and sat up on his elbows to watch her as she kicked off her small heels.
Slowly, she stripped out of her jean jacket exposing a peek of her cream colored flesh before dropping the jacket to the floor. She glanced at him before averting her eyes to her agonizing slow task of peeling off the body hugging dress she wore.
Her teasing already had Nikolai rock hard and ready for her before she even revealed the lacy black bra and matching panties she donned all day underneath her clothes. Nikolai licked his lips, seeing her in her element. She was an enigma, a seductress, hiding underneath all the layers that made her up on the daily. For him, she was everything.
His everything.
She got down on her knees and smirked when she saw the outline of his erection
through his slacks. She trailed her fingers up slowly before he threw his head back and groaned under her expert touch. She teased him some more, crawling up the bed and kissing his torso through his clothes. She made no move to take them off and it drove him crazy, not knowing what she was going to do next.
He turned over quickly and pinned her beneath him. She struggled out of his grasp for dominance -while giggling- but he held her firmly with both her hands above her head in one hand. He ran his tongue over her exposed chest and little belly, trailing kisses on down every so often.
“I want you inside me,” she writhed beneath him.
He released her hands and kneeled up on the bed giving her access to his lower region as she undid his belt and pushed down his slacks, freeing his erection. She didn’t want to waste no time and left his shirt on and buttoned.
“Lay down,” he whispered hoarsely, drawing her legs up to his sides and hooking his hands underneath her knees. She laid back and watched him as he reached down with one hand -moving her underwear to the side- and stroked her with two fingers igniting a moan from her deep within her throat. He spread her moistness on his tip before he slowly entered her.
She threw her head back when he was fully inside of her and clawed the satin sheets beneath her. He pulled out completely and teased her with his tip, stroking her slit up and down, agonizingly slow the way she teased him with her touch and strip tease moments before.
“I want you inside me,” she said again, this time begging him.
He smirked and entered her again fast before pulling out of her slowly again and hovering at her entrance. She narrowed her eyes at him, catching onto his game and sat up on her elbows.
“I love the teasing but right now I need you to fuck me good and hard and quickly,” she demanded. “We don’t have much time left.”
“Your wish is my command,” Nikolai said before licking his lower lip and plunging himself into her, this time keeping up one stroke after the other. She clung onto the sleeves of his suit while his hands were once again hooked under her knees. She moaned with each blissful thrust and soon her hand went between her legs, rubbing herself.
Nikolai growled and wrapped one leg around his waist as he leaned over her body now, supporting his weight on one arm while still thrusting into her. He pressed his mouth to hers when she screamed out his name and he followed quickly behind in two strokes.
As much as he wanted to collapse on top of her afterward he was mindful of her baby bump. He laid on his side and watched her as she came down from her orgasm.
“Will it always be this good?” she whispered turning to him so she was facing him fully.
“Always,” he smiled kissing her nose and then stroking her growing belly.
“No, I mean us, not the sex.”
“Our relationship?”
“Yes,” she said lowly. “I mean, I keep thinking the past is going to strike us again and split us up for good. “
He sighed and placed a hand on her cheek, bringing her worried gaze to his stern eyes. “Audrina, we have been through the worst of it all and it did not break us. The past will only bite us if we allow it to and I have no intention of ever letting you go.”
“But what if…”
“No,” he shook his head. “Nothing is going to separate us. I told myself a long time ago, that if I had you I would never let you go. I have never been more happier in my life than I am with you and knowing at the end of it all you are here with me… you’re stuck with me.”
She smiled and brought his hand up to her mouth kissing the thick, gold band on his ring finger. “I love you.”
He brought his lips to hers and kissed her again. “And I love you.”
After they had straightened themselves out -as best as they could manage- they exited the boat and walked hand in hand down the dock. Nikolai turned one last time to the boat and smiled.
“This is the best gift anyone has ever got me.”
“I’m glad you like it,” she hugged him.
“I can’t wait to sail it,” he grinned looking boyish under the sun and breeze. They continued their walk down the dock until they got to the car where Sergei sat on the hood in the shade, with Anastasia in his arms waving a toy around.
Audrina blushed looking away from his knowing gaze and took Anastasia from him. She entered the car and waited for Nikolai to enter but he was speaking to Sergei in Russian. In the year she had lived with Nikolai and always being around him and his staff, she picked up on some words but not all. All she heard was ‘wait’, ‘yes’, ‘thank you’ and ‘two weeks’.
When Nikolai entered the car she watched him with a curious gaze. His smile revealed nothing as Sergei started up the car and drove away from the marina.
Twenty minutes later they arrived at an airfield where a sleek, black jet plane stood by. A nasty memory tried to enter her mind but she quickly dabbed it away, grabbing onto Nikolai’s hand. He stroked her hand soothingly as he looked out the window.
“Why are we here?” Audrina asked when the car came to a stop.
Nikolai smirked before he exited the car and came quickly around to her side to help her out. She unbuckled Anastasia before she took Nikolai’s hand to help her out.
A car drove away from the airfield and Audrina gasped when she saw Nikki approaching them. “What are you doing here?”
Nikki smiled and pressed a kiss to Audrina’s cheek before taking Anastasia out of Audrina’s arms. “I’m here to take care of my little princess while your husband takes you on your honeymoon.”
Audrina turned to Nikolai who smiled to himself before wrapping her in his arms again. He rested his chin on her head and whispered, “You’re not the only one with a surprise today.”
“But the baby,” she gestured to Anastasia who was smiling up at Nikki. “She’s not gonna know what’s going on.”
“She will be fine,” Nikki waved a dismissive hand.
Nikki adored Anastasia and would splurge and buy her new dresses and matching hats weekly. She spoiled the baby just as much as Nikolai did and loved her soon to be god daughter. There was no doubt in Audrina’s mind that her daughter was in great hands.
“My clothes,” Audrina whispered. She had not packed a bag.
“I took care of it,” Nikki said as if talking to a small child. “Go! You guys need some time together, alone, where you guys can finally enjoy one another in peace!”
Audrina looked up at Nikolai who smiled and looked at his watch as if telling her, ‘now or never’.
“Okay,” She nodded her head eagerly after a moment of contemplation. “But if anything happens or the baby is sick call me right away and we will come straight home.”
“Nothing is going to happen,” Nikki promised. “Go and have fun!”
“Me and Nikki can practice when we have our own child,” Sergei said and wrapped an arm over Nikki’s shoulders. With Anastasia in her arms and them grinning goofily at one another, they did look like a little family.
Without another moment of hesitation, Audrina kissed Anastasia’s chubby cheek and said goodbye. Nikolai held out his hand for her to take and she took it and let him whisk her away to the waiting plane.
Once they boarded the steps they waved good bye to Nikki, Sergei and little Anastasia and quickly entered the luxurious plane. Once the door was closed and the plane was ready to take off -and they were buckled up and seated- Audrina looked up at Nikolai who sat across from her.
“Where are we going?” she asked excited.
His smiled made him look years younger. “Well considering all we have been through, I think we need complete peace and relaxation so I figured the Maldives.”
Audrina’s jaw dropped. She had heard of the luxurious nation of islands only from few that have traveled there on vacation but now she was going with the man she loved.
“I’ve always wanted to go,” he said. “Surrounded by the sea. And now I’ve found someone that I would love to spend two weeks there with.”
&n
bsp; “Two weeks,” she whispered. She had never been apart from the baby more than a day. Two weeks was a lot to sink in.
“We need it my love,” he said and handed her a glass of fizzy liquid.
She looked at the golden liquid with a frown. I’m pregnant!
“It is cider,” he assured her when he saw her worried expression.
She raised her glass to him. “What shall we toast to?”
“To being completely alone,” he mirrored her words from a time long ago when they had been alone for the first time.
“To being alone,” she bit her lip and clinked glasses with him. “Once again.”
“Once again,” he repeated with a content smile.
THE END
Epilogue
He watched as the plane took off and gritted his teeth after seeing his smug, Russian face and the dark haired whore in his arms. They cant get away with it! Especially that bitch! He flicked the cigarette out of his fingers and looked on as the tall, dark haired driver placed the baby in the car and seated the woman in front afterward.
They left the baby, he smirked. Perhaps they’ll know what it’s like to lose something they love.
Yes…
He entered his car and ignited the engine, following after the car from far away, stalking it like a wolf with its prey as it drove off the airfield…
They will all pay.
