ROMAN
It’s been a month since Nikki officially moved in with me and I have to say that things are going fairly well for both of us where our relationship is concerned.
Every time Itook at her, I feel so damned lucky to be here. Nikki is my whole world and she makes it a better place. Every single fucking morning I wake up, I remind myself not to keep things from her, even if those things will hurt her.
Honesty all the way.
Things have been quiet where Emeralda’s concerned. I think once she realized that she couldn’t marry me, she decided to keep her distance.
My lawyer sends me monthly reports on her that I don’t read at all. I don’t even open that email.
I can’t bring myself to care, especially when I remember how close! was to losing the woman I love. All because of her.
I pull myself out of my thoughts and straighten the lapels of my blazer.
I hear Nikki rummaging in her closet for something.
“We’re gonna be late,” I remind her, smiling.
“I just need to…here!” She walks out holding a pair of sparkly heels I’ve never seen before. Her hair’s all curled and glossy, and she looks divine with her red lipstick and smoky eyes.
She bends over to put them on while grinning at me. Then, she stands upright and says, “All done!”
“You look gorgeous, you know that?” I murmur as I close the distance between us. “I’m this close to canceling our outing. I can’t stand the thought of other men looking at you.”+30 Bonus
“You’re such a drama queen,” she jokes with a roll of her eyes. “I don’t know what to do with you sometimes.”
“You don’t understand me because you’re not me,” I remind her, going – in for a kiss. She blocks me because I can’t mess up her lipstick, and we head toward the door.
We’ve been doing this every weekend. We hit a club downtown, or a bar, and just spend time together, dancing and trying to forget all the stress we accumulated during the week.
It’s a good system. I get to spend time with her, and I get to see her ass in a tight dress. Yes, it does bother me that other men stare, but knowing she’s mine and that she never pays any attention to them makes me feel…special. In a stupid, boyish way, but special nonetheless.
1 rub her knee while I drive, and in no time, we’re there. It’s a new place that has opened. Really upscale and based on invitations only. I thought we could try it out and Nikki seemed to have no problems with that.
“Wow,” she says as we approach the building after parking the car.
This is something else.”
I place my hand on her lower back and guide her to the entrance. Our names are taken, and then we’re inside. The place truly is something else, especially the interior. Nikki looks around with wide eyes, taking everything in.
“Want a drink?”
“Isn’t it too early for one?” she shoots back. “I mean, do you really wanna start drinking now?”
“Why not?”
Nikki shrugs and I take her hand before we head to the bar to open a tab and order some drinks. I have a whiskey. She has a fruity cocktan that I’m dying to taste on her tongue.
But she won’t let me kiss her.
It’ll ruin her lips.
“You’re killing me here, you know that?” murmur against her skin while she dances beside me.
“What? Stop being so impatient. We kiss all the time. This isn’t the end of the world, Roman.”
“It is for me.”
We go back and forth like this. I love riling her up to the point where shę gets impatient with me. She doesn’t know what it does to me. How it turns me on.
grab her hips as she moves against me. Fuck, this is already a bad idea. I’m getting hard and we’re in a public place. Do I have it in me to wait until we get home?updated by jobnib,com
“Roman!” she hisses when she feels my hard-on pressed against her.
“You’re irresistie,” I whisper into her ear while my fingers dig into her hips, pulling her closer. “I can have you over and over again, and it still wouldn’t be enough.”
The hunger I see in her eyes is enough for me to lose it, but instead of telling me we should head on home, she says, “You’re going to have to hang on, big boy. I’m having fun and I’m not ready to leave. In fact,” she hands me her almost-empty glass, “I need to run to the bathroom.
Make sure you’re calmer by the time I get back.”
I watch Nikki walk away, moving through the crowd, swaying her hips on purpose to drive me crazy. Smiling to myself, I bring the glass up to my lips and drain it, since she won’t let me kiss her.Moments later, someone taps me on the shoulder.
When I turn around, my heart sinks.
“Roman,” Laura says, smiling. “It’s good to see you here!”
