    Chapter Forty-Seven


    Adrik


    I was anxious to get home to Sephie. Missing talking to her before I left for the day was harder than I


    thought. I had already grown ustomed to our morning routine in just a few short days. Not being


    able to kiss her, to talk to her this morning made me miss her more than usual. I found myself hoping


    that she was in better spirits tonight thanst night, but I vowed to do everything in my power to make it


    better if she wasn’t.


    “We’re 10 minutes out, boss. I also sent word to Andrei that we were on our way home. He said


    Princess was starting to get impatient and worried,” Ivan said. The corners of his mo uth were curled up


    in a half smile.


    “Thank you, Ivan. Did he say anything else?”


    “Net. Just that she was starting to worry because it was sote, and we weren’t back yet. He told her


    you had ate


    meeting.”


    I found myself getting more anxious to see her. I never wanted to cause her worry. I should’ve told her I


    had ate meeting, but it slipped my mind. I was too focused on how beautiful she looked while


    peacefully sleeping this morning


    to consider small details.


    We approached thending pad on the side of the house. It was dark, but the lights from the helicopter


    were bright enough that I could just make out Andrei’s sizeable frame walking toward thending pad. I


    could see Sephie’s red hair just to the side of his head. She must be hitching a ride. It was one of the


    small things that made me adore her. She had a childlike innocence about her in so many ways, but I


    was impressed that she could keep that innocence knowing what she’d been through. I smiled at the


    thought of herughing with Andrei while they waited for us tond.


    As soon as we touched down, I opened the door and stepped out. Andrei kept Sephie a safe distance


    away, but I could already see her gorgeous smile as she waited for me. Ducking to avoid the des, I


    walked quickly toward her. Once I was clear, I stood uppletely and saw her running to me. I was


    met by her lips crashing into mine as she wrapped herself around me.


    I should let her sleep in the mornings more often if this is how she greets me when I get back…


    I pressed her even closer to me and returned the kiss, barely able to breathe from her passion. As the


    guys walked by us, they whistled. Somebody pped, even. She had been shy before about showing


    too much affection in front of them, but that was clearly not an issue tonight.


    I groaned and broke the kiss, needing to breathe. “Somebody missed me.”


    She grinned up at me. “Maybe a little.” She stood on her toes and kissed me once more.


    I smiled against her lips. “I missed you more,” I said as I reached down and picked her up in my arms.


    She wrapped her arms around my neck, resting her head on my shoulder. “How was your day,


    solnishko?”


    I felt her tense slightly. “Um…good.”


    I stopped immediately. “Who do I need to have killed?”

    She giggled, that sweet preciousugh that meant she was truly happy. I felt my heart swell in my chest


    just looking at her, happy in my arms. “Well, technically me, so I feel like that’s a bad life choice all


    around.”


    She was so adorable; it was hard not to smile at her. I looked at her sternly, with one eyebrow raised.


    “Persephone,


    what have you done?”


    “I made Tori put Andrei in the doghouse already. I didn’t mean to! We were just joking in the kitchen,


    and she walked in, thinking Andrei was hurt and we startedughing more and she thought we were


    laughing at her.”


    Delicate ego on that one. I just shook my head and continued walking. “Women areplicated.”


    “You’re telling me,” she said as she rested her head on my shoulder once again. As we walked to the


    house, her fingers yed with my cor and ran lightly over my neck and chest where it was exposed.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    She was driving me crazy and didn’t even know it.


    We got inside the house, and I set her down. “Did you eat? Do you want me to make you something?”


    Always so thoughtful toward everyone else. “No need, love. We ate already. I am, however, still


    hungry,” I said as I kissed her lips once more, then whispered “just not for food” into her ear.


    I was not expecting her reaction. She wrapped her arms around my neck, pressing her body


    completely to mine and kissed me just as passionately as she had on the helicopter pad. I felt my


    desire for her trying to takeplete control.


    I wanted her. All of her.


    I heard her moan softly into my mo uth and that was the end of my control. I grabbed her hand and


    pulled her toward the stairs. “We should go upstairs before I loseplete control, solnishko,”


    I walked quickly up the stairs. She was right behind me the whole time. It almost felt like she was


    pushing me to go faster. We got to the bedroom and as soon as the door closed, I pulled her toward


    me again. I turned and pushed her against the door, pushing my body against her, my lips on hers. I


    was now fully aroused and wanting her to know what she was doing to me. She grabbed my shirt,


    untucking it. Her hands quickly found their way to my bare skin, her touch was almost electric. She ran


    her hands up my back and I felt her dig her fingernails into my back lightly. I groaned into her mo uth. I


    could feel her smile as she knew she was driving me crazy.


    Her fingers quickly moved to my chest, unbuttoning my shirt. Once she got two buttons unbuttoned, I


    stepped back from her. I pulled my shirt off over my head and threw it down. My hands grabbed her


    hips to pull her to me once again, her lips immediately on mine once again. As slowly as I could, my


    hands slipped under her shirt. I didn’t want her to feel ufortable. Not now.


    She broke the kiss and looked at me like she knew what I was thinking. She smiled at me, gently


    pushing me back so I would give her a little room. She lifted her shirt over her head and threw it on top


    of mine. She then grabbed my hands and ced them around her, so I was touching her scars.


    “It’s okay. I want you to touch me,” she said, looking me in the eyes as I ran my hands over her back.


    She didn’t flinch, she didn’t get tense, she just looked at me while my hands ran over her scars. I


    leaned down and kissed her neck. I could hear her breathsing quicker as I nibbled my way down


    her neck. With one hand, I unbuttoned her pants, pulling at the zipper to give me more ess.


    I grabbed her hips, picking her up. She wrapped her legs around me, her lips finding mine once again. I


    walked us to the bed. Laying her down, I pulled her jeans off, throwing them toward the pile of shirts


    somewhere by the door. She


    laughed. I ran my hands up her long legs, watching her reaction to my touch. I leaned down and kissed


    her stomach. She flinched and giggled. “That tickles.” I rubbed my facial hair lightly over her stomach to


    make herugh again.


    She pulled me up to her lips, wrapping her legs around my waist as Iid down on top of her. I could


    feel the heat between her legs. I was dying to be inside her. I kissed her neck again, giving her little


    bites every so often as they always made her gasp slightly.


    “Adrik,” she said breathlessly. Her breathy voice turned me on even more. “I want you.”
