Chapter 11
Belle's POV
Yuri took the wolves from their cages, put them on a leash, and gave them to me. He was hesitant at first but I assured him and proved to him that I have tamed Petrushka and Valkyre. I instantly fell in love with these two when I first saw them. They have majestic poise and intimidating growl. I know these predators are vicious but for some reason, I do not fear them. They, in fact, enjoy belly rubs and fur rubs. Nikolai, Dimitri, Boris and some women are at one table while Alexei is on the other side, talking and having juice or whatever cocktail with some girls as well. They look comfortable like animals in their natural habitat.
I went to Alexei's table first. I made sure that I let go of the part of the leash long enough to scare the women away. They instantly scooted on the opposite side of the table, looking terrified. Alexei instantly hissed at the wolves in a commanding Russian tone, the animals instantly stood down like puppies. Afraid the wolves will eat your bitches Alexei? I just rolled my eyes at him.
He looks at me quizically, surprised by my attitude. But, whatever. "I want to eat now Alexei." I said flatly and then turning my back on him before he can retort back and remind me that he's still mad because of what happened last night. If he's still mad, then fine. He can get mad or even ignore me as long as he wants, but we eat together no matter what.
The commotion already took the attention of the people from the other table but I was having too bad of a mood to even care.
As we approach the other table, the women slowly transferred to the opposite side. Petrushka and Valkyre are already charging and pouncing to get away from the leash to grab a bite off of our female guests when Nikolai did what Alexei did a while ago. The two turned into cute little puppies instead of scary wolves, to my disappointment.
Boris and Dimitri scooted over to make room for me and Alexei who is now walking smoothly towards the table.
"Good morning baby Madame." Said Dimitri as he takes the wolves from my hands. "Finally, our sunshine is awake." He added cheerily while giving Yuri a naughty look. He must have known that Yuri calls me his sunshine. I just ignore him because I don't want Alexei to notice and react negatively towards Yuri again.
I sat down next to Nikolai. I then kiss him on his cheek which he reciprocated with a long sweet kiss on my lips. In an instant, I turned into a mushy marshmallow inside. My god, Nikolai, your eyes are melting me away. Why are you so gorgeous?
"My darling woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?" He whispers.
"I was alone when I woke up. You know I don't like that." I replied.
"Hmm. We did not want to wake you. You were sleeping like a baby. And I've read that soon to be mums need a lot of sleep because then the babies can rest as well." He said while tapping a book on the table next to his morning coffee. How to be a Great Dad: A Guide in Raising Twins for Dummies.
There's a Spanish translation below the texts and a caricature of twin babies with suckers as the cover image. "Where did you get that Nikolai?" I asked in amusement.
Nikolai looked towards Alexei who is now sitting beside me, looking down on his phone and texting. I know he's really not texting anyone. He's just tapping away to dodge a conversation.
I slowly covered his phone with my palm and placed it on the table to get his full and undivided attention. "Are you still mad at me?" I asked him face to face.
"No." He answers dismissively.
"Really? Then why didn't you sleep beside me and your brother last night?"
"I have to leave for some urgent business last night when you fell asleep. I saw the book in the convenience store we stopped over, when I came back, I went to bed beside you."
"Yah?"
"Yah."
"I wanted to spend more time in the pool with you last night. I guess that's not gonna happen anymore." He said like a child deprived of candies on Halloween.
I covered my mouth to suppress a giggle. My goodness. He's just like his brother when he doesn't get what he wants. Volkov tantrums.
"Must be really funny for you to leave me in the fucking pool with a full hard boner and no clothes eh?" He added like a teenager.
"Aw.. look at that, my poor baby brother is upset because he did not get enough pussy and ass last night." Said Nikolai who is shaking his brother's hair, teasing him.
"Fuck off brother!" Alexei retorted.
"Okay, that's enough Nikolai. Behave please?" I said, removing his hand from his brother's head.
"Yes, Ms. Volkov." He said acting like an obedient pupil in my classroom.
I wrapped my arms around Alexei's neck and whispered in his ears, "We will bathe in the tub later, just the two of us, no Nikolai."
"Yah?"
"Yah."
"Hey I heard that. That's not the nicest way you treat the man you shot." Nikolai inserted with a sprinkle of guilt trip.
"Nikolai you cant bathe with us because of your wound. I'll just bathe you afterward okay? Did you have your wound cleaned and dressed already?" I asked, noticing blood on the fabric where his wound is located.
"Not yet. The in-house doctor will come over later."
"Is the doctor a man or a woman?" I asked just making sure.
"I'm not sure baby." He answers feigning innocence and finding an opportunity to get back at me.
"No need for the Doctor. Amy is here in Colombia with her brother. She can clean you up." I said, eliminating the possibility of another woman looking at his crotch. At least it will be my best friend whom I trust with my life and not just some random woman doctor. Amy may have a dirty mind and I'm sure she'll enjoy it a bit too much but I believe that she is more than capable as a nurse. She will do a great job.
"Dammit." Nikolai hissed.
Alexei laughed at his brother teasingly. "You thought, brother? You fucking thought you can one-up her?"
Nikolai just shook his head while reading his book, his brother got for him. I placed 4 stacks of pancakes on Alexei's plate, then on Nikolai's. I drizzled honey and topped bananas on Nikolai's stack while blueberries on Alexei's stack.
"Thank you, my love." Says Nikolai who looks so eager and focused on the book.
Alexei on the other hand is extra touchy and clingy, grabbing me on his lap and kissing my arms, chest and neck.
"Finish your pancakes then we'll go to the tub to bathe." I whisper.
"Just bathe?" He asks as if waiting for me to say some more.
"I will show you my ass and then you can do whatever you want to do."
"Yah? No Nikolai right?"
"Yah. No Nikolai." I answered, trying so hard not to roll my eyes once again. I know that giving him what he wants is the only way his Volkov tantrum will go away. And besides, making love to Alexei is always breathtakingly amazing. I am not complaining.
"What a fucking baby." Nikolai inserted, sporting a playful smile, teasing his brother once again.
Alexei hisses, "Says the man who can't sleep without sucking the Princess' nipples every night just to sleep. I wonder what would the Mafia think if they find out the Big Boss is an infant."
In all fairness to Alexei, he's just saying the truth. I bit my lower lip to suppress a giggle. Thank goodness their men are busy getting more food from the buffet table, they won't hear what these two had to say to each other.
"What can I say, I like the wife's titties." Nikolai answered, not even denying it.
"Me too. The wife's titties are the best titties." Answered Alexei, smiling and agreeing with his brother.
"What is Clara doing here anyway?" I ask when I caught her glancing at me as if trying to smile at me or something. Also, purposefully trying to change the topic since Dimitri and the other boys are coming back to the table.
"She's here to apologize for what she did to you last night." Nikolai said, with a serious tone in his voice. So he knows what happened in the restaurant. I am not surprised though. Everything that happens to me, I can be sure as hell Nikolai will know of.
"I think it's partly yours and your brother's faults really." I said as a matter of factly. "Women like Clara, had some connection with either or both of you one way or another, that's why they thought they needed to fight another girl just to get your attention."
"It was just a casual hook up and she knew that." Alexei answered. At least I did not have to ask who among the two is the culprit dick.
"Okay. So you want to know why she had the audacity of insulting me even though I was with you? Why she wasn't even afraid of throwing a glass of water at the Russian Mafia Boss and underboss' wife?" I retorted.
"Baby...." Nikolai inserted.
"No, let me finish. And let me answer the questions for the both of you."
"Princess."
"It's because they are thinking that I am just a bimbo you and your brother are fucking in the meantime. The flavor of the day. The disposable easy fuck. The hooker being shared by the Volkov Brothers." "Babe, you know that's not true. We are married for god sakes!" Nikolai said with a raised voice, it took the attention of the people around.
Yuri and the other boys instantly moved to ask the guests to leave. They then stood facing the fences and the street as if talking casually but at the same time, making sure we have privacy.
