Her Volkovs #Book 4 novel Chapter 10

Nikolai and Yuri watching Belle and Alexei by the window in a room facing the pool below.

Nikolai: This is as close as you can have her Yuri.

Yuri: I do not wish to be involved Boss. She's never going to be mine. (Pauses for a while) Im going to bed. We have a long day ahead. Excuse me. (Attempts to exit the room)

Nikolai: Where the fuck do you think you're going? When I say you watch, you watch!

Yuri: (halts and stood for a while before going back to stand beside Nikolai) Boss.

Nikolai: When we were kids, my father treated you and your brother as his own sons. You had everything that I and Alexei had. You had Matushka's affection. You were my father's champion protege'. And then you finally got that tattoo on your arm and swore your life in the Mafia to protect me and the family. If I really think about it, you sold your soul to the devil--to my father. Belle, my beautiful wife, does not understand this. She thinks that the rule prohibiting you to involve in any serious relationship is cruel. And you know how much I love that woman. I will do anything for her. So here's what's going to happen Yuri. You are going to find a woman-- a decent one--you know the type that you think you can marry. Take her in and live with her in the mansion.

Yuri: Boss--- it's the Big Boss' rule. There's no getting around it. I don't want to disrespect Papa Vyacheslav just because he's dead.

Nikolai: I am the Big Boss. I am Vyacheslav now. I am my father's blood. So you answer to me! You fucking screwed up. Now you face the consequences.

Yuri: I understand.

Nikolai: Good. Now, if after knowing and seeing you with another woman, Belle still thinks that you deserve to be free and she supports your marriage, you will no longer be part of the Mafia, you can freely leave the mansion and build your own home and family. BUT, if my wife shows any sign of jealousy or distaste towards your marriage, you are going to dump the woman and we will go on with our lives. I will forget what you have done and I will not stand against your feelings for my wife, in fact, if she lets you, you can have her and share the bed with us.

Yuri: Boss?!

Nikolai: Your future with the Mafia depends on how your Madame will handle and react to the situation that you are in. Of course, she must not know about this.

Belle's POV

"Boop. Boop." Says Alexei, poking my breasts with his index finger as if popping a balloon.

"What are you? A toddler?" I just shake my head.

"I'm just happy. Are you happy? With me? With us?" He asks like a child on Christmas morning. His eyes are twinkling like the stars in the night sky. Geez.

"What do you think?" I retorted.

"I think, you're in love with me and my brother. And yes, I think you're happy. Are you?"

"Yes. I am Alexei. More than ever." I answered in complete honesty. I am very much happy with my married life. It's not normal but it's a happy marriage.

He grins like a child and drops his face on my breasts, making that motorboat sound. This time, a full-blown laugh escaped my mouth. As between him and his brother, Alexei rarely plays and acts like this. Perhaps, he is indeed really happy.

"Uh, princess? Show me your ass." He whispers.

I splashed water on his face, "No. I'm embarrassed."

"Why? It's only the two of us. Bend over baby girl. Just one time then we'll go back to the Villa. I know youre sleepy."

"Hmm." I look around just making sure that there are no people watching. I then turn my back and bent over to give him the perfect view of my bum.

To save myself from further embarrassment and this awkward position, I decided to tease him. I went out of the pool and ran for my clothes, quickly put on my panties, and grabbed his clothes and mine.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

"Catch me if you can, naked!" I screamed while running for my life. I covered my breasts with the clothes and ran as fast as I can to our Villa.

"Princess! Come back. Shit!"

I parted my lips when I heard him curse. Oh my god. I can't believe I pissed him. Alexei doesn't get pissed with me! Oh my gosh. My heart is pounding very hard.

"You did not see me! I'm a ghost!" I quickly say to the two security detail who are making their routine rounds.

Goodness. I think I'm going to run out of breath. When I reached the front door, one security detail instantly stood up from his chair and looked puzzled as hell.

"Madame?" He says, all confused.

"Good night! You did not see me. You're just imagining." I answered quickly.

This time the living room where I have to pass through so I can run up the stairs to the Master bedroom is a little tricky because I know we have several men there. If I tiptoe, there's a bigger chance that the men will spot me plus the fact that Alexei is closing in from behind, I just can't slow down. So I decided to sprint my way like the flash and run for my life to seek refuge in Nikolai's arms.

I jump to the bed and crawled my way to Nikolai under the covers. "Nikolai? Nikolai, please wake up. Nikolai." I tap his face many times to wake him up.

"Ugh? Baby? What's the matter. You're shaking and you're naked and soaked!"

"Nikolai, it's Alexei. I---"

Bam! The door opened wide!

Slowly, a shadow appeared, and then Alexei came into the light. He is holding a pool chair in front of him to cover his manhood and he looks sooooo friggin pissed and serious! Oh my gosh! I almost burst out laughing but my fear of getting punished got the most of me.

I buried my face deeper into Nikolai's neck and begged my husband to save me from Alexei.

A barbeque breakfast party is happening in the block where the crime families of the Conglomerate are staying in. Each Mafia family is having breakfast in their respective front yards as music is blasted from different parts of the block. Kids are playing carefree, smiling and happy faces everywhere.

Members of other crime families are welcome to go to the other yards if they wish, including ours and the other Villa next to ours, the De Alba's. I have not actually met any member of the De Alba's all I know is that they are the Russia Mafia's frenemies.

Normally, I like festivities like this but I woke up grumpy as hell. Alexei did not sleep with us in our bed. Last night he went directly to the shower when I buried myself in Nikolai's arms. I did not know what happened next because I fell asleep.

I just can't seem to force a smile on my face, even more so when the first thing I see when I stepped out of the front porch are my boys, talking to women from other crime families, including Clara last night.

I know it's not fair for me to assume that these women have made their way inside Nikolai's or Alexei's pants one way or another but the way these girls act around them, based on past experiences, is more likely what I think it is. This is something I could not just easily brush off.

I don't want to imagine the lifestyle of these two when it comes to women and parties before I even entered the picture. I just can't. Nikolai and Alexei are the epitome of security, masculinity, and beauty, no woman can ever resist their charm. Their mere presence will knock any woman off their feet.

Before I expose my raging jealousy in front of all the people of the Conglomerate, I went back inside the Villa and found myself in front of a huge mirror.

Geez Belle, find some comb will ya?

I brush my bushy hair using my fingers, trying to untangle some stubborn strands but the more I try, I feel like the more it tightens. Uh! So frustrating!

"Madame?"

"Oh my gosh Yuri! Please don't come up to me like that again?!" I feel like my heart got stuck in my throat. How come I did not notice him right away?

"I'm sorry Madame."

I suddenly feel bad for overreacting, "Uhm it's fine Yuri."

"You should have breakfast. Do you want to go outside? I will have your food served immediately."

"Maybe later. Your Bosses look-- a little busy out there. I don't want to bother." Ugh! Subtlety Belle.

"They were just talking with some friends. It's not every day that people from other families get to see and greet Volkov. They are just making sure that they are still in good graces with the Russia Mafia."

"Uh! Why won't this stupid hair untangle!"

"May I?" Yuri said as he offers his hand to untangle my hair.

My arms are already tired and I'm already too irritated to do this myself I might end up cutting this with scissors if this goes on so I decided to let go of my hair. Yuri stepped closer to me and gently handled my stubborn hair. "Did you sleep with an unkempt hair last night?"

I just noded. It was not only unkempt but I was soaking when I fell asleep in my husband's arms last night. Although, I woke up clothed already.

From the reflection in the mirror, I can see how he slowly untangles my hair, one knot at a time. Hmm...whoever this man ends up with is one really lucky girl. Yuri -- minus the kissing part-- is a gentleman and very protective. I genuinely hope he finds a woman who will take care of him--for a change. All his life he has taken care of the Russian Mafia, maybe it's time for him to think of himself.
