Alexei's men were about to bring him to his room but I don't want him to wake up alone.

"Alexei will sleep with us. Bring him with us at Nikolai's room please." We went upstairs towards Nikolai's room. They placed Nikolai and Alexei on the bed.

"Yuri, we need the chef from Dile first thing in the morning. Instruct him to prepare soup and rice pourage. And I will be needing aspirin tomorrow as well."

"Yes Madamme. If you need anything else we will just be downstairs."

Yuri exudes a father-like figure, although I think he's really not that old. He's like a no nonsense kind of guy.

"Thank you Yuri."

Nikolai's men exited the room. Yuri was the one who shut the door on his way out.

I'm looking at my Nikolai and Alexei. Nikolai is to the right, he is on his side, his hair is disheveled but he still looks like a god. Alexei is on the left, facing down the bed. Could this two look ugly at all? I mean, wow, the heavens must have took its time in creating these two.

I placed my hands on on waist trying to figure out what to do next.

What am I going to do with these two? One day they just came into my life and it has never been the same again. They are like a storm that swept their way into me and ruined everything, yet when I am with them everything feels so right.

I took Nikolai's clothes and shoes off and left his boxers on. When I placed his pants on the floor I heard a thumping sound. When I checked it, it's his phone and it's already on the floor. When I accidentally touched a key, my eyes widened when I saw the picture I sent Nikolai on his birthday as is his wallpaper. I really don't know if I'm going to feel happy or embarrassed. Geez, this is supposed to be for his eyes only, what if someone gets a hold of his phone?

Next, I took Alexei's clothes and shoes off and left only his boxers on. I swear I feel like my sweat is dripping already because Nikolai and Alexei are not necessary light weight. I had to turn them to different positions just to take their clothes off. I feel like I'm running out of breath. Gosh, I really need to take a run soon. If only Amy could see me now, she would be laughing her ass off looking at me all sweaty and ridiculous. But then I remember that my bestfriend is mad at me. I know I'm gonna have to talk to her soon.

I also noticed Alexei's phone, it's on his jacket pocket. I tapped it and saw a picture of me, wearing the daisy and baby's breath crown as his wallpaper. Oh my god. That was the day when I was sitting on the floor in front of the small table right across him.

Suddenly, what Matushka Irene said about both of them loving me flashed back. I quickly brush off the ridiculous thought. Nope, that's not the case. I know Alexei cares for me, but love? Alexei loved Yelena and that's the fact.

I went to the bathroom to wet two towels. I first wiped it on Nikolai's face and body and the other towel for Alexei. I run my fingers on Nikolai's tattoos and planted kisses all over his arm, up to his neck and face.

"I love you Nikolai." I whispered.

I slip in between them and pulled the covers to the three of us. I kiss Alexei on his cheek and turned around to face my Nikolai. I drifted off to sleep with the face of Nikolai as the last image in my eyes.

♥♥♥♥♥

I woke up early in the morning. Nikolai and Alexei are still knocked out but I'm already squished in the middle. I slowly took off Nikolai's arm on top of my breasts and then removed Alexei's arm around my waist. I feel like I'm going to die of suffocation. When I was able to break free I stare at my Nikolai and Alexei. I'm sure these two will be staying in bed for the rest of the day.

When I went down to get water, Yuri and Boris are already in the kitchen drinking their coffee.

"Good morning Yuri, Boris."

"Good morning Madamme." Yuri said in response. Boris did not say a word.

"Yuri please make sure Nikolai and Alexei are not bothered today and until they fully recover, I'm sure you can take care of business in the meantime."

"Yes Madamme."

"Thank you Yuri."

I then went back upstairs holding the aspirin tablets on my left hand while holding the water on the other. When I entered the room I'm surprised to see Nikolai already awake, he's resting his back on the headboard of his bed. Goddammit Nikolai! I feel like my panties are going to drop just by looking at his godlike face. I try to compose myself and brush aside my craving for Nikolai.

"Why are you up already? And where's Alexei?" I said while placing the water on the table next to the bed. A few seconds later Alexei went out of the bathroom.

"Alexei go back to bed now!" I said as sternly as I can. Alexei's hair is disheveled but it perfectly suits him. Gosh, there's no way that these two will look bad at all.

Alexei let's out his usual smirk. He then went back to bed beside Nikolai and hugged a pillow while lying on his stomach. Both of them are looking at me intently.

"It was not a dream brother." Alexei said to Nikolai.

"You're actually here baby." Nikolai said.

I gave them a duh look.

"Yah, I am not an apparition. Now take these." They now have smiles plastered on their faces. The two look like kids on Christmas morning.

I went to Alexei's direction and handed him his aspirin. I took the medicine kit from the cabinet and went to Nikolai first to put some medicine on his small cut near his left eyebrow. I can see from the corner of my eyes that their attention are glued to me. I just ignore them and continued with what I'm doing.

Nikolai, however was not able hold it any longer. He run his hand on my waist and pulled me on top of him effectively landing me on his lap. He did not say a word but just continues staring at me. At this point I can already feel my face heat up. I know that I'm slowly turning crimson.

"Stop being creepy Nikolai."

He softly chuckles in response while planting his face on my breasts.

"Nikolai, I'm not done yet."

The love of my life inhales deep while his face is still buried on my cleavage. He then scoops my bum with his palms and makes soft squeezes.

"Okay, now behave. I have to tend to your brother's cut."

Alexei is just observing as Nikolai fondles me. I then transferred to his side. Leaned over and tended to his cut on his lower lip. I feel so guilty for causing these two to fight. If only circumstances were different.

"Nobody leaves the house today." I said as sternly as I can.

A gasp escaped my mouth when Nikolai tackles me to bed and climbed on top of me, making my back presses deep down the bed.

Alexei walks towards the door while a smile is plastered on his face.

"Alexei, I said nobody leaves."

"I'm not going to leave princess, I'm going to get coffee."

Nikolai is now pinning me while his hand cup my face.

"You're really here. I thought It was just a dream." Said Nikolai while inspecting every inch of my face. Geee..I think this man is overreacting.

"Let me make it up to you. I know what I have done was unforgivable, if you could just....." I did not let Nikolai finish. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him on his lips. In an instant, his already hard cock grew even harder.

"I love you baby." Nikolai said. His eyes are looking at me intently like he really missed me. He again plants a kiss on my lips but this time, he uses his tongue to reach my tongue.

"I love you too Nikolai, just don't push me away again."

"Never again baby. Never again." Said Nikolai, his eyes are full of remorse yet hopeful at the same time.

At this point I feel like my heart is full of warmth. My Nikolai is back. The Nikolai who took my breath away the first time I saw him is back.

All of a sudden, out of nowhere Nikolai asked me the most awkward question ever.

"Who kisses better? Me or Alexei?" Is he seriously asking me this right now?

"Uh I cant decide." I teased him. I tried to get up but he pinned me to bed even tighter.

He again lunged and passionately kisses me. "How about now? Can you decide now?"

Oh god Nikolai, the Mafia Boss is like a kid.

"Uh, nope, still can't." I'm already struggling to hold back a giggle.

He again landed a kiss on my lips. He made small painful bites on my lower lip and uses his tongue in between. Dammit, Nikolai really tastes amazing. He has no idea how turned on I am right now.

"How about that?"

"Hummm.. can I still think about it?" At this point a frown forms on his face. I could not hold it any longer so I let out a laugh it boomed all over the room.

My adorable Nikolai drops his head on my neck in embarrassment. My Nikolai, the Mafia Boss, is back in his playful self.

"Your kiss is better Nikolai."

His eyes sparkled the moment Nikolai heard that.

To my surprise, he grabs me by my waist and carried me downstairs. My legs are wrapped around Nikolai's waist while my arms are intertwined around his neck.

We directly went to the kitchen. We saw Yuri, Boris, the chef from Dile and the old woman he's always with. They all looked at us. I can see a smile forming on Yuri's face and Boris as well the moment they saw us. Well that's a first.

Nikolai then walked towards Alexei's room. We found him in his bathroom brushing his teeth.

"Baby tell Alexei what you told me." Oh god, is this man being serious?

"Uhh no." I said, feeling so embarrassed.

Nikolai went beside Alexei with a smirk on his face, looking all arrogant and proud.

"She told me my kiss is better than yours."

I feel like all the blood rushed away from my face. Alexei spits the bubbles and finished with his brushing. "Yah? Well she told me she liked my kiss. I'm good with that." Oh god, just strike that lightning of yours and hit me straight to the heart, I want to die right now.

I quickly interrupted them. "Hey! Who's hungry? I am!"

Dammit this is going to be a loooooong day.

♥♥♥♥♥

The three of us are now in Alexei's room watching a hockey game. The two would spit out Russian profanities from time to time as they watch. I think this sport perfectly suits the personality of these two. I mean, this sport is brutal. You can see blood, pushing, hitting, smacking, and the occasional punching and fighting from the players. The two are so focused in watching the game when Nikolai's phone vibrated.

"Answer that and I'll leave." I said as a matter of factly.

He did not even attempt to hold his phone. He continued resting his head on my lap. Alexei is smirking like a puppy as he watches his brother fold and submit to my command. He's sitting beside me, resting his back on the headboard of the bed.

"Same goes to you Alexei."

Nikolai chuckled in response.

Yes that's right. I'm so rocking this Irene vibe right now.

We spent the whole day and night on Alexei's bed. Nikolai and Alexei went back to sleep early. I know these two are having some major hangover.

I took Nikolai's phone since I left my phone at Dylan's, I decided to text Amy.

"I'm sorry A. B."

She did not reply so I decided to call her but she's not answering my call. I went to the bathroom and called Dylan.

"Hi Dy."

"Belle?"

"Yes, how's Amy?"

"She's at work, are you okay?"

"Yah, I just called to check up on you and Amy."

"Oh."

"Is she still upset with me?" Dylan need not answer my question. I can already sense it from him.

"It's okay Dy. Can I still come over?"

"Of course Belle, you are always welcome here."

"Thanks Dy."

"Uh Belle. What happened to us...it was..." I quickly interrupt him.

"Dy.."

"It's just that I miss you Belle. I miss your beautiful eyes. I miss your lips. I miss all of you. I know I screwed up." Dylan said sounding all defeated.

"Dy, please don't make this hard for me. I miss you as my friend, I really do. Can we please just go back to that?"

I can hear him took a deep breath. Dylan did not respond to my question.

"I'll come visit tomorrow, will you be there?"

"I'm not sure." Dylan said.

"I'll see you tomorrow okay?"

"Okay. I love you Belle."

I don't know what to say. I just cancelled the call without answering Dylan.

I really feel bad for doing this to him. Regardless of what happened, I still think I am at fault. I should not have entered into a relationship with him knowing fully well that Nikolai still owns my heart.

♥♥♥♥♥

The next morning Nikolai woke me up with small kisses to my face, lips, ears, neck and down to my breasts.

"Nikolai..."

"Good morning baby...should I get drunk so you will take care of me again?"

I feel like small volts of electricity are running through my body as Nikolai's lips touch my skin.

"Nikolai... I have work in a little bit."

"I know." He's now sniffing and smelling me like I'm some kind of a drug.

"Nikolai, what are you doing?"

"I miss your sweet and sexy smell. I miss you so much. I love you, baby."

"I love you and I miss you Nikolai."

"Tonight we are going on a date."

"A date?" Oh my god. This is actually the first time Nikolai said that word to me. A date with Nikolai.

"Uhuh." He planted a long sensual kiss on my lips.

Suddenly I felt Alexei move on our side.

"You two should get a room." Alexei said teasingly.

"We are in a room brother." Said Nikolai.

"Yah, MY room." Alexei retorted.

I just giggle at the two. "Nikolai, I have to prepare for work."

Nikolai halted and lets out a frustrated sigh.

"You know you really don't have to work anymore. Just stay home. Stay with me." He again plants small kisses to my breasts, and my belly.

"No, my kids will be waiting for me. I can't just abandon them. They have been abandoned enough by their own parents. This is the least that I can do."

"Is Dr. Thomas nice to you?"

"You know him?"

"Not really."

Dammit, I'm getting so turned on right now. I tried to play it cool and continued the conversation.

"How did you know him?"

He did not answer me and just continues giving my whole body kisses. I think I'm already flushing.

"Nikolai, you're like a cat."

Oh my god. Where did that come from? Of all the animals to describe Nikolai. A cat? Really Belle?

Nikolai quickly took a halt. He cocked his head and looks at me all puzzled. Alexei laughed so hard, he is rolling on the bed next to us. His laughter boomed all over the room while he is holding his stomach. "Oh, this should be good." He said, waiting for things to unfold in front of him.

Nikolai took my hands and pinned them to the side of my head. He then climbed on top of me to meet me eye to eye.

"What I mean is. You know..." I said, as I try to talk my way out. I slowly remove myself from him as he loosens his grip on me.

A wicked grin is slowly forming on Nikolai's face. I quickly climbed down the bed and ran as fast as I can away from him and out of Alexei's room. I squeal as I ran for my life.

"Ahhhhhhhh....."

"I'm coming for you baby." Said Nikolai all too wickedly. I can hear him running after me.

"Ahhhhhh....Nikolai!!!"

While I'm squealing my heart out and running for my life, he easily caught me on the stairs. He quickly grabs me by my waist and pulled me tight to his torso.

"Nikolai!"

He plants kisses on my neck and ears. Oh gosh I'm already running out of breath.

"Youre the only one who calls me a cat and will get away with it."

"What can I do, you are already under my spell." I said all too proudly.

"True. So, I will see you tonight?"

"Okay."

"I love you Mary Arabella Volkov." Said Nikolai while looking me in the eyes. I feel like I'm floating in the air. Oh god. This marvel of a man never fails to sweep me off my feet by just looking me in the eyes. This man's effect on me is too much. This is the Volkov effect.

"I love you too Nikolai Vyacheslav Volkov."
