Her Volkovs #Book 1

Belle's POV

I glanced at the window and I see two black SUVS pull over next to the car Nikolai assigned for me. Yuri went out of the vehicle first and opened the car door for Nikolai.

I intertwined my hands in front of my breast and took a deep breath. This is it.

"Hey A... come, I'm going to introduce you to Nikolai."

Amy crinkled her eyebrows while sporting a smile. "Yah? The Nikolai himself? The Mafia Boss? Your demigod boyfriend?"

I just smile in response at Amy's silliness. I grabbed her hand and walked towards the living room. Dylan is already in the couch while Ivan and Vasily are outside.

A few seconds past, the door was opened by Ivan for Nikolai.

The living room instantly filled up with Nikolai's inexplicable godlike presence. I feel like my abdomen instantly tingled in response.

The man who completely owns my heart and soul is standing at the door, looking at me intently. He is wearing a navy blue suit with a vest inside. His beautiful green eyes, his tattoos peeking from his wrist and collar and his overall magnetic presence is slowly overwhelming me.

Nikolai entered the living room and walked towards my direction. His attention is focused on me while completely ignoring everyone in the room. He then grabs me by my waist while sporting a serious look on his face.

What is up with him?

"Why did you cut your hair without my permission?" Nikolai said sounding all mad.

Geez... so its because of my hair.

"Nikolai, I did not cut my hair. Amy styled it to make it appear shorter."

His expression slowly toned down as I explained to him. Nikolai continued to wrap his arms around me while pulling me close to him. Dammit, he really smells so damn good.

"I want you to meet my bestfriend Amy." I said while removing myself from Nikolai's embrace.

When I turned around, I swear Amy's eyes are glittering while looking at Nikolai like she saw Santa or something.

"A..." I tried to catch her attention.

Nikolai's lips are pulled to the side as he reached to shake Amy's hand. "Hello Amy, its a pleasure to finally meet you." Amy shook Nikolai's hand back.

"Hello Nikolai. Finally, we have met." Amy said, she's trying so hard to have a poker face but knowing my bestfriend, deep inside her, she's already struggling to keep it together. She's just too transparent. "Nikolai this is Dylan, Amy's brother."

I can feel the awkward silence when I introduced the two. Nikolai did not even hide his indifference towards Dylan. He just looks at him. Dylan himself did not even bother standing up from the couch. They just stare at each other. Oh my god. This is so awkward.

I quickly interrupted their stare-down and took the attention of the love of my life.

"Uh Nikolai, where are you taking me tonight?"

"It's a surprise. Shall we?"

Nikolai held my hand on our way to his car.

When we are already inside the SUV, Nikolai pulled me to his lap and wrapped his arms around me.

"I miss your sweet smell baby." Nikolai spoke near my right ear it instantly gave me goosebumps. He plants small kisses on my neck and cheek as he breathes in. I can already feel his cock grow hard from his pants.

I glanced at Yuri and Boris in front and they are just looking straight on the road.

"Nikolai..."

"Hmmm...?" Nikolai ran his hand on my thigh where the slit of my dress is situated.

"Thank you for the lunch you sent for me." I said while I feel my face blush. Nikolai lets out a smile in response.

All of a sudden my phone buzzed. I tried to reached for my phone from my purse but Nikolai tugged me back to him.

"Nikolai, Ill just take this please." He lets out a frustrated sigh but still did not let go of me. A smile formed on my face as Nikolai acts like a teenage boy.

When I answered the call, I quickly removed it from my ear because Amy is screaming on the other side of the line.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! B!!!!!!! Nikolai is indeed a demigod!!!!! The pictures of him did not even give justice to that face!!!! He is drop dead gorgeous. Omg B!" Amy sounds hysterical as she spoke profanities in our language.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! B!!!! Are you there?"

I decided to speak to Amy in our native language so that Nikolai would not be able to figure out that we are talking about him.

"He also smells good A." I giggled. Nikolai continues kissing and running his hand all over my body. I feel like I'm already running out of breath.

"Yah? Omg!!!!!" Said Amy.

"What is he doing now?"

"We are making out and you're interrupting us." I chuckled. Amy lets out a laugh in response.

"Really? Okay, well I'll leave you two in kiss, I mean in peace." Amy said teasingly. We both giggled in unison. Amy dropped the call after throwing me a kiss.

"Who was that?" Asked Nikolai while fondling me.

"It's Amy."

"What did she say?" That you look like a demigod.

"Nothing, she just said goodnight."

I was about to place my phone back to my purse when I realized I have got more than twenty missed calls and several unopened messages. When I checked it, it's Dardan and another unknown number. Oh my gosh. I quickly turned off the phone.

"What's wrong?" Nikolai said, noticing my sudden change in mood.

"Uh nothing Nikolai."

A few minutes later we arrived at Pauliana Hotel. Nikolai held my hand as we walked inside the grand entrance Wow, this place is really posh. There's a long and winding chandelier in the lobby and everything around seem so shiny and luxurious.

We were greeted at the entrance by a man in suit. He has glasses on and he looks too formal.

"Good evening Mr. Volkov, everything is all set."

"Thank you." Said Nikolai.

We walked towards the elevator. Yuri and Boris are following us from behind, while the man who greeted us walks ahead of us leading our way.

While in the elevator, Nikolai grabs the small of my back, pulling me close to him. Boris, Yuri and the other guy are standing in front of us not saying a single word. A few minutes later the elevator stopped at the topmost floor.

Nikolai and I are now walking

towards what seems to be an open air rectangular balcony. Right in the middle are the table and two chairs elegantly arranged. Tiny white lights are hanging around the railings of the balcony. They are moving like fireflies as the wind blows. A few rows of light bulbs are hanging on top of the balcony perfectly complementing the overall surreal atmosphere of the place.

Nikolai took a bouquet of red daisies and baby's breath from Yuri and handed it to me.

"Thank you Nikolai."

He lets out a smile in response. He

held my hand as we slowly walk towards the balcony. My heart suddenly jumped when I realized that the balcony's floor is actually made of glass material, effectively allowing us to see how high above we are from the ground. Oh god. My knees instantly wobbled quickly took a halt and grabbed Nikolai's arm.

"What's wrong baby?"

"I'm terrified of heights Nikolai." I have always been afraid of heights since I was a little girl. Few people know of this fact about me, unfortunately Nikolai is not one of them.

My hands are already shaking. I have this frightening feeling that the floor is going to collapse any moment soon. I feel like I am going to fall down.

Nikolai quickly carried me in his arms and walked out of the balcony. He then places me on the sofa. He cups my face while looking all worried. I feel like all the blood flushed away from my face.

"I'm sorry. I should have known." Said Nikolai while he wraps his arms around me.

"Nikolai, this is so sweet of you to have prepared all of these. I really love it."

"Really?"

"Uhuh. You have no idea how much you just made me so happy."

"We'll just have dinner in the restaurant, I promise no more heights." Said Nikolai, trying to comfort me.

"No Nikolai, can you just hold me tight while we go to the balcony?"

I really don't want to spoil this night just because of my stupid phobia. This is our very first date and I want this to be memorable. The love of my life prepared all of these, he has no idea how much I appreciate

his effort.

"Are you sure?"

"Uhuh, you are my safe place Nikolai."

Nikolai's beautiful green eyes looked at me like he's longing to say something.

"What did I ever do to deserve you baby?" Said Nikolai while running the back of his hand on my face. I just gave him a faint smile in response.

"Are you ready?"

I just nodded at Nikolai. He held my hand as we slowly step in the balcony.

"Don't look down okay?" Said Nikolai, while cupping my face.

"Okay Nikolai."

The moment we entered the balcony, I suddenly felt the wind blow my hair. I dare not look down. I can do this. I will not ruin our first date. My fear of heights will not ruin my first date. I just focused my attention at Nikolai's face.

"Your doing good. Almost there."

When we took a halt, he instantly grabs me by my waist and pulled me tight to his body. We are now face to face. The wind is blowing my hair to the side as some strands cover my face.

Nikolai guided my left hand to his right hand. I press my breast to his leftmost chest part then held his left shoulder with my right hand.

To my surprise, the sound of a violin playing filled the air. Oh my gosh. Can this night be more perfect? The small lights around us are dancing with the blowing wind. Everything around looks even more dreamy

and surreal.

"I want to confess something." Said Nikolai without a hint of playfulness in his voice.

I feel like my heart suddenly took a halt. What is he going to confess? All the bad thoughts are running in my mind right now.

"What is it Nikolai?"

"I was the one..."
