The only girl he ever dated?

I swallowed and looked her up and down. Like the rest of Bianca's friends, she was gorgeous. Platinum blonde hair, blue eyes, full lips, sharp features, and legs for days.

Is that the type of girl Nikolai usually fall in love with? I was not as tall as her, I was a brunette with dark eyes. He did call me hot the other day but he made it clear to me before we did this that I shouldn't expect anything from him and this relationship, it was purely physical, more like he was introducing me to the world of sex, helping me become a woman only because I had asked him to.

Now that I think about it. If I hadn't asked him to touch me, would he have done it? I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to suppress all these unwanted thoughts. I wanted to enjoy the night with Bianca, it was my first time at a nightclub and here I was thinking about Nikolai Costello.

"So, what are you to him?" she pressed, trying to get information out of me about my relationship with Nikolai.

"I live with him," I said, it was the simplest explanation. It's how it started. My parents died and he took the poor stray orphan Evangeline into his home.

"I haven't seen you before with Bianca or anyone..."

"My parents were murdered recently, Nikolai took me in" I answered, looking down at my lap.

Her lips parted. "Aw, you poor little thing, I'm so sorry"

I gave her a smile with difficulty. "It's okay, I'm fine now"

"What's your name?"

"Evangeline... What's yours?"

"Nice to meet you, Evangeline. I'm Katerina"

"Your accent is not---"

She cut me off. "I'm Russian"

More drinks were served and in my turmoil, I drowned every single drink that was presented to me, no matter what it was, how it tasted, or what it will do to me.

"Let's go dance!" Bianca held my wrists as all of her friends made their way to the dance floor.

Bianca jumped up and down to the beat, her hair freely flowing around. Most of the guys in the club were staring at her and her friends. As the music continued to pump and the alcohol coursed through my veins. I felt myself letting loose and my body began to move to the beat.

Bianca hyped me up and danced with me. I laughed uncontrollably, my hands in my hair, and then slid down my body. My hips rolled with the upbeat music. I have never had this much fun before.

I didn't know what time it was but I could feel my body get tired from the continuous exertion on the dance floor. We wobbled back to our seats, I almost tripped in my heels but Katerina held me up.

We were a mess, drunk out of our minds. We slumped into our seats and laughed over a joke Bianca made. I really thought that we will have a big birthday party where Bianca will cut a cake or things like that but no. Apparently, this is how big girls celebrate their birthdays. I still think there's nothing wrong with cutting a cake.

"How is he?" Katerina asked, placing her head on my shoulder.

I frowned, I knew who she was talking about but I didn't want to answer her as a sense of jealousy washed over me. This was the girl he dated, he liked her enough to date her for three years but even the thought of being intimate with me, he had to think long and hard. He made it clear beforehand that what he was doing to me was just “sexual favors”

I picked up the bottle from the table and emptied it. I think I might become an alcoholic soon. "He's fine..."

"Is he fucking you?" she whispered in my ear.

I cast her a sideways glance. He had kissed me and done other things to me but he didn't fuck me. He made sure to keep his pants on while we were intimate. The thought that maybe he was disgusted by me suddenly made me nauseous.

"No..."

She frowned as if she found it hard to believe. "It's written all over your face, girl. I know how he is, I have been in your place"

I couldn't help the sarcastic laugh that escaped my lips. "We are certainly not dating"

He is just granting me sexual favors, I wanted to add bitterly but I kept my mouth shut.

"So, he never even touched you?"

I shook my head, feeling disoriented. "Nope"

She made a hmm sound and looked deep into her thoughts. Bianca staggered over to me and sat on my lap. She wrapped her arms around my shoulders and I did the same with her waist to keep us steady.

"This bitch right here is fucking crazy! She's my new best friend!" she announced to no one in particular and all the girls were too drunk to even sit properly. Out of all of us, Katerina seems to have managed her alcohol the best.

"I love you, E!"

"I love you too, B..." I smiled, hugging her closer.

The sound of heavy footsteps caught our attention. Bianca stood up and then rolled her eyes as she saw Nikolai's soldiers approaching us. I know they were Nikolai's due to their black suits. All of them looked like they came out of bodyguard movies.

They stopped before us, eyed all of us, and then looked at one another. "Come on" they gestured for us to follow them.

A little unsteady on my feet, I got up and wrapped my arm around Bianca as we followed them out of the club. Katerina and Bianca's other friends followed them out too.

We stepped outside and my eyes fell on Nikolai. He was leaning against a black Cadillac Escalade, his arms crossed over his chest. He had taken off his jacket and was wearing a white shirt, black tie, and black slacks. For me, no other man could be as handsome as he is.

A hint of a smile pulled on his lips when he saw me, and he wiped at it with a thumb before sliding his hands into his pockets. Butterflies fluttered in my belly, out of everyone here his eyes were on me.

I lost my footing and almost stumbled to the ground but Bianca held me up again. I looked down at my heels and then back at Nikolai, where my smile immediately fell.

Katerina was pressed against him while she was babbling about something. I frowned, something twisted in my chest at their proximity. I glowered at her hand that rested on his chest. My eyes felt hot, I could feel tears forming in my eyes as he didn't take her hand off of himself. He replied to whatever she was asking him.

"I'll take her..." a man in his late twenties took Bianca in his arms, scooping her up.

Bianca squealed. "Baby, I had so much fun!"

It was her boyfriend, Stefano. He kissed her forehead before he took her to their car and settled her inside. I swallowed and looked back at Nikolai who was still busy with Katerina. They looked good together, they were closer in age and height. She looked exactly the kind of girl someone like Nikolai would date. She was educated, sophisticated, and beautiful. With small hesitant steps, I walked toward him.

Katerina fiddled with the buttons of his shirt and then placed her hand on his cheek. Bile rose to my chest, I staggered and fell to my side to the floor.

"Jesus Christ" I heard Nikolai say.

Before I knew it, he was crouched down beside me, and then pulled me into his arms just like Stefano did to Bianca and walked to his car. He made me sit in the passenger seat and fastened my seatbelt.

He closed the door from my side and then I heard him walk to the driving side.

I heard Katerina's voice. "Wait... Niko, I... I need to---"

He cut her off. "I'll talk to you later."

The door opened from his side and he sat in the driving seat. He started to drive as I just stared at him from the side. Instinctively, I touched his cheek, running my finger along with his chiseled jaw which had a prominent stubble on it. Then I ran my fingers through his thick locks, scraping his scalp and softly tugging on his hair. He didn't stop me or gave me attention, all of his focus was on driving.

"You are so handsome..." I whispered.

I think I saw a hint of a smile on his handsome face. For a second in between, he glanced at me and then turned back towards the road.

"You had fun?" he questioned.

I did have fun but Katerina ruined the night for me. I didn't know how to tell him that. I was jealous, it was clear that I was jealous but I couldn't say that to him because then he'll know that I might have some feelings for him. I'm not going to tell him that, I'm not that dumb.

"I did... I flirted with a lot of guys" I lied, I wanted to see if he'd get jealous too. The whole night we partied, not even a single guy approached us or talked to us. They were staring but that was just it.

His window was rolled down and he had placed his elbow over it. His long finger brushed across his bottom lip like he was in deep thought. He didn't seem amused by my words but then gave his head a shake.

"No, you didn't."

I scoffed. "Of course, I did"

"No one approaches our women" he just said. "Everyone knows who Bianca Costello is. Only a guy with a death wish would approach our women, in our own nightclub"

I swiped my tongue across my lower lip. "I'm not your woman"

He glanced at me and raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you?"

I shook my head, playing with the hem of my dress. "Nope..."

He let out a breath of dry amusement. The giant metal gates of the Costello estate came into our view. The guards opened the gates and Nikolai drove into the beautiful driveway made out of gravel stone, halting before the main door of the house.

I unfastened my seatbelt and opened the door but before I could step out, Nikolai was by my side helping me out of the car. He snaked his arm around my waist and pulled me to his side. My hands fisted his white shirt that perfectly fit his muscled body.

He walked in taking me along with him. I looked up at him as he strode towards my bedroom. I don't know where I got the confidence from but right outside my room, I pushed him into the wall beside the door. He was caught off guard as his back easily landed against the wall. I fisted his collar with one hand and grabbed the nape of his neck from the other. I pulled him down into a passionate, hard kiss.

It took him a minute to respond but then he wrapped both of his arms around my waist as one of his hands trailed down to my ass, landing a gentle slap. I moaned into his mouth and felt him smile against my lips.

I pulled back and looked up at him through heavy-lidded, lust-filled eyes. "I want to have sex"

I roamed my hand down and palmed his erection over his pants. I smirked to find him as aroused as I was. I leaned up and placed a kiss on his neck, and then a gentle kiss on the jugular notch. He made a deep, masculine sound of approval. I smiled and kneeled before him, kissing his erection from over his pants

"Angel..." he said but it came out as a strained groan. His hands threaded into my hair and he pulled me back up before latching his lips back on mine.

He grabbed the back of my thighs, and picked me up, wrapping my legs around his waist. He flung open my bedroom door and took me inside, he roughly threw me on the bed.

Excitement built into my stomach, and I felt myself getting wet just by the look in his eyes. My skin itched for his touch, empty ache settled between my legs. I felt my core throbbing, pulsating as my breathing got shallow.

He leaned over me, placing his arms beside my body. He gently caressed my cheeks with his knuckles and shook his head. "We are not having sex, Angel"

I frowned, disappointment clouded my features.  "Why?"

He breathed out a laugh. "We can't"

"Why not, Nikolai?" I asked breathlessly.

He dipped his head and kissed my forehead before he straightened up and took off my heels. With a minimum effort, he turned me on my stomach and unzipped my dress, slipping it off my body.

"Fuck..." I heard him mumble under his breath.

His hands left me and he walked into the closet, I turned on my back and sat up. Nikolai came out of the closet holding an oversized t-shirt. He made me wear it and then covered my body with a duvet.

"Sleep"

It was an order and I was way too drunk and tried to argue with him anymore as I turned on my side and closed my eyes.
