And we’re off

Max brings Tina to the house, blindfolded as requested

As soon as I see her I almost have a heart attack

I knew she was beautiful but tonight I’ she is

The dress is a perfect fit on her Her body is nice and curvy and this dress showcases her perfectly

I’ht we dine like royalty

Max walks her toward s me

Then we’re alone and I say, "Hello Princess"

She’s blindfolded but she can’t hide her s"

I pull her close toher up I whisper, "You are stunning Absolutely beautiful"

She kisses my chin and drawls, "Well, a three thousand dollar dress and eight hundred dollar shoes will do that to a girl"

Daot she owned a boutique and would probably kno s cost

Yes, it did cost a little Is Tina worth it?

Hell, yes

I kiss her lips lightly and say against theo, baby"

She replies, "Always, honey"

Nik undoes asp when I see hi! He’s wearing a dark grey suit (I think it’s Armani, too), a white linen shirt, I see platinum onyx cufflinks on his wrists and black Italian dress shoes I knoears things like this to work all the tiht he looks different He looks classy and chic As he turns I see the tribal tattoo behind his ear and I just want to lick him He looks delectable

He smiles down at me and takes eable when it comes to cars but this one looks expensive He opens the door for me and kisses my hand when I’m in I strap myself into this rocket car and when he seats himself behind the driver’s side I ask, "What kind of car is this?"

Nik’s eyes light up as he tells me, "A Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale"

I raise my brows and nod to make it look like it’s a very impressive choice but I obviously have no idea about cars and Nik chuckles atabout

We drive for about half hour sharing a comfortable silence I close my eyes and enjoy the ride

After a while I feel Nik’s hand onand he says, "We’re here, baby"

I open my eyes and I’m immediately confused

It looks like we’ve arrived to a nice house A lovely house, actually A mansion even

Yes, it is acobblestone drivehich takes us a while to drive down When we arrive at the entrance I see there are valets I’m helped out of the car by Nik and step on to a sapphire blue carpet

Where the heck are we?

Nik s at my obvious confusion He takes , the smell of food assaults my taste buds

It’s divine

It s Nik walks me from the hall to another room and I see we’re actually at a restaurant

I’ve never been to a restaurant like this before This is too classy for the likes of me

We’re approached by the host and Nik speaks to him in what I assume is Russian The host smiles widely at hi area is stunning There are se tables, and booths The chairs look hand carved and alone would cost a few hundred dollars per each There are white tablecloths one ith black tablecloths thrown the opposite way on the tables You can just see the corners of the white tablecloths sitting underneath the black The plates all have gold rims The cutlery is definitely silverware

I’m a little intimidated, to tell you the truth I don’t want to embarrass myself but mostly I don’t want to embarrass Nik

Nik helps me into my seat then seats himself and asks, "Do you trust me to order for you, sweetheart?"

I answer immediately, "Yes, of course You knohat I like"

He takes htly as he looks over my shoulder but tries to cover it

The waiter comes to our table and takes our orders I’ when I see him smile behind me and I hear heavily accented voice say, "Privet bratu"

I look to enuine affection at Nik Nik stands, hugs and kisses both men on both cheeks They converse for a reeting

The youngerblue eyes He looks around e When he notices me for the first time his face turns awestruck, he puts a hand to his chest and kneels next to el An honest to God angel"

I can’t stop the giggle that for his head and s at his friend

The older man is tall but not as tall as Nik He has messy brown hair, soft brown eyes and an easy ser man across the head and says a heavily accented, "Get off the floor, you are eel"

I don’t knoho these h esteem and I can see why They’re sweet and hilarious

Nik raises a brow at me in question I smile and nod Nik invites his friends to sit with us a while which they do

They introduce theer man is Alexei and the olderis Russian and Nik replies in English, "You can talk in front of Tina We don’t have secrets"

Wow

I love this man I feel warm all over

Alexei smirks and nods his head ,"So, she is not a date, huh? She is a wifey"

Nik looks thoughtful and replies, "Yes She is"

I reel back in my chair My face pales and my heart beats faster

Holy Hell…Nik and I are married?! When did that happen?!

Nik sees my face and chuckles Lev and Alexei smile at me and Lev explains, "A wifey is e call a woman who is important to us She ain I respond a breathy, "Okey Dokey"

Nik, Alexei, and Lev all smile at me but the looks on their faces say you’re a dork

Alexei starts, "We hear you’ve had some problems with the Sixes"

Nik shakes his head and says, "No No problems with the Sixes Just with O to my Tina"

His Tina?! A!
