this.”
West was getting used to me kissing him in front of people, since it seemed I could not help myself when it came to him. Now he expected it when I was around, and every night since the first. Though, it was getting harder and harder keeping my hands to myself. Especially since we both became aroused from being alone and having each other’s mouths.
“Do you have to leave today?”
“Da. I have a few things that need my attention.” He nodded against me. “I was wondering if you would like to go to dinner tonight?”
He buried his face into my chest and nodded.
“Words, moya lyubov’. I need them.”
He kissed my chest, and my dick perked up more than it already was from having him in my arms.
“Yeah, dinner out sounds good.”
“Excellent. I will organize a place and pick you up at six.”
“Sounds good.”
“Would you be interested in staying at my home after?”
He paused after a little yip sounded from his lips. I pinched his chin and gently dragged his head up to see his cheeks burning for me.
“Yes?” I asked.
“Da,” he replied.
“Good. Pack a bag then. Now kiss me so I can get ready for the day.”
Of course, when he did, I did not leave the room for another half an hour.

“I feel like a giddy gay teen on his first date,” I confessed as I sat on my bed, gripping the sweater I held.
Kylo snorted. “Shit, I would as well if an ex-mafia guy, who was hot and totally fuckin’ devoted to me, was on his way to pick me up for a night of sexy time.” He grinned and quickly added, “Don’t tell Saint I called your guy hot.”
Lucas and I laughed. “I won’t if you don’t call him hot in that appreciative tone again.”
“Well lookee here. Someone’s possessive,” Kylo teased.
“It’s good to see,” Lucas said. He took the sweater from my hands, folded it, and placed it in my bag. “I bet you never thought you and Adrik would be where you are.”
I shook my head. “Not in a million years. It might sound like my head’s in the clouds, but I never thought I could be this lucky.”
“He’s as crazy for you as you are for him. Anyone can see it,” Lucas said.
I hummed under my breath, my body warming. That I believed. The man kissed me every chance he got, no matter who was around—even in front of Dimitri and his parents, who’d been over for lunch before they departed early the next day to go back to Russia.
“What are you wearing to dinner?” Kylo asked.
I glanced down at my jeans and T-shirt. “This.”
Lucas and Kylo shared a look.
“What?” I demanded.
“You can keep the jeans, but maybe try a shirt. I’m sure Adrik will take you to a nice place,” Lucas said.
Groaning, I slapped my forehead. “Crap. I should have thought of that. I don’t have a nice shirt. At least I don’t think I do.” I strode to my walk-in closet and flung shirt after shirt across the room. None of them felt right. “No, no, no,” I repeated. I groaned. “I don’t have anything.”
A chuckling Kylo rested his hands on my shoulders. “Relax. He’ll like you in anythin’. Go out and finish packin’. I’ll find somethin’.”
“Okay.” I nodded, relaxing a little.
Lucas helped me with the rest and slid in a packet of condoms. I froze, my gaze rising to his. Lucas smiled. “Just in case.”
My face burned.
Lucas shifted closer, his hand dropping to my arm. “West… um, it’s natural to want something from Adrik.”
My goose bumps extended down my neck. “Lucas,” I moaned, definitely embarrassed.
“Your back is healed enough for a little playtime.”
“Oh my God. Do not call it playtime.”
“Sexy time?” Kylo suggested, walking back into the room and holding a plain white shirt. “White is always good.”
I waved him off. “White, sure. And no to sexy time. I am not talking about my… my time with Adrik. I don’t even know if he’ll want to touch me—” I clamped my mouth shut, not meaning to voice one of my fears.
“West,” Lucas whispered as he shook his head.
Kylo rested his cane against the bed. “West, I get why you would think that. Hell, I felt incomplete with my injuries, but from what I’ve seen, you’ll have a hard time keeping his hands off you.”
“He’s right,” Lucas agreed.
I knew it, deep down I did, but I couldn’t stop the worry about a naked night with Adrik. I wasn’t even sure I was ready for
