I fidgeted on my feet.
I thought I looked nice when I looked at myself in the mirror after putting on the dress and brushing my hair. I didn’t have any makeup on, though. I couldn’t even remember the last time I had worn something as simple as lipstick, and admittedly, I thought my skin looked a little pale from the lack of sunlight, but I looked nice … didn’t I?
Slowly, I walked over to him. He held out his hand and I hesitantly placed my much smaller hand in his. His palm was warm and big and rough. It felt nice against my own.
“Oh, princess. You look good enough to eat.”
I bit my bottom lip.
“Are you wearing the underwear I brought you?”
I hesitated before nodding.
“Show me,” he commanded, moving me closer to him.
I gulped in a hard breath, looking at him. He didn’t do anything more than stand there, waiting for me to make my move. I wondered if my reluctance had more to do with my shyness than it did with me not wanting to do this for him.
There was already a familiar pounding between my legs when I grabbed the hem and pulled the dress up, showing off the pale blue underwear I had chosen.
Nikolay groaned, running his fingers lightly over the thin fabric covering my mound. My grip tightened on the dress.
“Fuck, the fact that something I bought you is touching your sweet pussy is enough to drive me insane. Are you wet for me, baby?”
I didn’t answer him.
I didn’t know how.
He smirked. “Later. I can find out later.”
The dark promise in his voice made my heart race. I slowly let the dress fall. I had been right. It surpassed my knees by an inch, and it flared at the hip. I felt like a fairytale princess.
Nikolay opened the door to the room and crossed over the threshold. I hesitated.
He looked back at me, his hand still holding mine. “Princess?”
I held my breath as I moved out of the room for the first time.
It felt surreal.
Having been stuck in the room for so long, I was getting sick of the four walls that surrounded me. But now that I was out of it … for some unknown reason, I didn’t feel safe.
I moved closer to Nikolay.
He bent his head down.
“Stay close to me. I won’t let anything happen to you, okay?”
It shouldn’t make me feel better to know that this bomb was promising to keep me safe, but it did.
It fucking did.
I stayed close to him, one hand holding his and the other clutching his shirt. He didn’t push me away.
The house was much bigger than I remembered, and when we got downstairs, I could hear noises coming from another room next to the living room. It sounded like some sort of party.
I looked through the open doorway, pausing when I saw Damien and Mikhail, their backs to us.
As if he could feel my eyes on him, Mikhail turned, his gaze landing directly on me.
