Chapter 3: Nikolai’s POV

I know I’m laying things on thick with Addyson but I can’t help myself. I’ve just asked her to allow me to get to know her and she seems very skeptical but also kind of interested in the idea probably against her Peter judgement. She has no idea how much I want her. My dad always told me that when I found the one it wouldn’t take days weeks or months to know, but that I would feel it instantly and he’s right. Something was different about tonight at the island celebration. When she arrived the air shifted. The way she came into the crowd causing as little stirring as possible. She sat at the table in the very back close enough to the exit so that she could make an easy break if need be. During my speech I tried to rush through it because I just wanted to be near her. After I was done I went to Malvina and Johanna and asked them to introduce me to her. Hearing her voice for the first time stirred my soul. I knew from the moment we touched I had to make her mine. Before I knew it I had forgotten about us being in a crowd of people or the fact that I was hosting the party and that I needed to be making rounds and addressing people. All I knew was that she was mine and I needed to stake my claim before any of the other singles in the area realized she was here alone and deserved to be wined and dined. I kissed her. Gently at first seeing as I didn’t want to startle her. A woman like her needs slow passion with guidance. Them out of now where a passion like no other hit me. When she responded with that damn most that I felt in my core I knew that she needed and wanted to be claimed as much as I yearned to claim her. The chemistry between the two of us was enough to set the whole island ablaze. I completely lost control and if it wasn’t for my father coming to interrupt us when he did, I would have taken her then and there and with the way she was responding to me, she wouldn’t have fought it at all. I come out of my thoughts and look deep into her eyes.

“Nikolai, I’d love to get to know you but I also want to be realistic about this. As wonderful as this has been, or has the potential to be rather, we live in two totally different worlds. I don’t want to rush into things and i really don’t want to become too attached only to have to end it when I leave in a couple of weeks.” She says and I can see the wheels in her head turning trying to figure this out.

“Hey, that’s completely understandable but like I said, we’re just getting to know each other. The rest we we’ll figure out when that time comes.” I say honestly. I don’t want her overthinking this.

“Okay… then yes. Let’s get to know each other better.” She says and I cannot contain my excitement.

“Okay, great. So let me take you out tomorrow. We can do whatever you want to do just as long as I get to spend the day with you. No expectations, just you and I enjoying one another’s company.” I say beyond excited at the thought.

“I’d really like that.” She says gently. A soft smile touched her lips and a deep feeling of pride feels me knowing that I helped put it there. We make quick work of the rest of our walk. When we reach the door I fight the urge to all her to invite me in because there is no doubt that my gentleman like behavior will be left at the door. I’m dying to hear more of her soft moans. I really want to see how loud I can get her to be while I’m inside of her or while I’m tasting her sweet juices on my tongue. I shake the images from my head and clear my throat.

“Well I guess this is where I tell you goodnight,huh?” I say dreading the thought.

“Yeah, that’s usually what happens here.” She laughs gently.

“You have a beautiful laugh Addyson.” I tell her while brushing a few stray strands of hair from her face. She looks up at me with her beautiful eyes and it is as if I can feel her pulling me closer without touching me at all. “I know it’s a little late to be asking permission, but is it okay if I kiss you good night?” I ask.

“Please.” She whispers. That’s all I needed. I lean in and kiss her with the same passion as before but much slower. By the time I break the kiss, her eyes have drifted closed and her hands are clutching my shirt.

“So, I guess I’ll see you in the morning?” I ask her gently.

“Yeah.” She answers in a husky voice. I think the difference in her voice brings her back to center because she starts a bit at the sound and then clears her voice. “I’ll be ready around 10, so I guess you can come by then and we’ll head out?” She asks with a bit of uncertainty in her voice.

“Sounds perfect to me. I’ll see you then.” I lean down to kiss her once more. “Goodnight Addyson. Sleep well.” I say gently.

“Goodnight Nikolai.” She turns and heads into the house. I stand there a few seconds after she closes the door until I hear the locks click. “Good girl.” I say to myself s as I walk off. I feel giddy and I don’t usually feel giddy after talking to a woman but something about her makes me excited. I cannot wait to see the day she has planned for us tomorrow.

I don’t have to wait for my alarm to go off to wake up this morning. Thanks to Addyson anytime I dozed off to sleep images of her flooded my mind. Visions of her riding me, me taking her from behind, my head in between her thighs while she screamed my name, her wearing my ring, her pregnant with my babies. Over half the night my dick was as hard as steel. I finally decided to take matters into my own hands to try to ease the ache but it was to no avail. I couldn’t get her out of my head and I still can’t hence the tent in my boxers. I get up and take a cold shower and prepare for my day with her. Once I’ve completed all of my morning routine I head out the door. It’s then that I realize that I don’t have her number to tell her I’m on the way and that I am also early. To give her some time, I stop and grab us a couple coffee and then continue my journey to her. When I reach her place I see her sitting out on the sand staring out at the beach. She must not hear me approaching because when I speak she starts a bit.

“Beautiful isn’t it?” I say. She looks up at me and smiles.

“Yes it really is. Sorry I didn’t hear you come up. I guess I was caught up in my own little world. It’s so peaceful here.” She says softly. I squat down beside her and hand her a coffee.

“Yeah, it makes you not want to leave.” I say honestly. I hate that my time here is always so short but hopefully in the next few years I can make this my home again.

“My thoughts exactly.” She laughs a bit.

“So what do you have planned for us today?” I ask her. She answers almost immediately

“I was thinking that since you know the island, you could show me around.” She looks at me.

“I’d love to do that. You about ready or would you like to sit out here a little bit longer?” I ask her.

“We can go. I’m excited to see the rest of the island.”

“Great!” I stand and then offer her my hand for assistance. She grabs it and joins me in standing. She tries to let go of my hand once she’s upright on her feet but I give hers a little squeeze and she looks up at me. “I’d like to hold onto it for a little while longer if that’s okay with you.” I say.

“Oh, okay.” She closes her fingers around mine once more and we walk up the shore towards my car.

“I figured I’d drive you around for a while and then we can get out and explore by foot.” I tell her. I open the door to the car and help her in. Once we both are squared away in the car, I pull off. Our drive is quiet yet peaceful for the most part, aside from me pointing out different places to her and telling her a bit about them. Our drive comes to a halt when I pull up to the island reserve.

“Wow this is absolutely beautiful. What is this place?” She asks.

“This is the island reserve. My parents actually own it. This is where all of the locals come to spend time with their families. Dad wanted this to be a place of safety. Growing up and even now when I come to visit, I come here just to think or clear my head.” I tell her. Sharing this part of me with her feels right.

“Wow it’s amazing. Thank you for sharing this with me. It’s beautiful.” She says.

“You’re beautiful.” I say as I brush her wind blown hair out of her face. I place a finger under her chin. “ I’m going to kiss you now.” I don’t wait for an answer, I just lean down and brush my lips against hers. From the moment our mouths connect, sparks fly. All of the pent up tension from earlier this morning picked that moment to read its head. It was back and I mean back with a vengeance. I end the kiss with more abruptly than intended. “Te hinaaro nei au ia ino roa oe.” I say in my native tongue. She has me so mixed up that I can’t remember to speak English. “I’m so sorry Addyson. I can’t control myself when I’m with you. You have me so twisted up mentally. I want you so bad it hurts.” I tell her truthfully.

“I don’t know how to respond to that but what I will tell you Nikolai is that I feel it too.” She says and I know it’s the truth. I can see it in her eyes. She wants me as badly as I want her. I center myself and try to calm down. “ Please don’t feel bad Nikolai.” She comes close and I feel her hand on my chest.

“I’m okay beautiful. It just seems that with you self control is something that I lack.” I tell her honestly. “Are you hungry?” I ask her as we walk back to the car. She stops to think.

“Yeah I could eat. Have any ideas of where we could go?” She asks as we drive off.

“I know just the place not too far from the house.” I tell her.

“Perfect.” She says. We fall into a comfortable silence. I reach over and grab her hand and rub my thumb across the back of it. She looks up at me and smiles and I swear to Christ I’d give my left arm to see that smile for the rest of my life.
