Chapter 16: Ivan's Move

NIKOLAI’S POV 

 

Every evening since I snuck into the Eriks’s mansion, I made note of listening to their conversations from my rooftop. And today's conversation took a different turn, and now I realized just how much trouble I had caused. 

 

I landed on the balcony of my bedroom as I watched Ivan march toward my mansion looking angry. Instead of being bothered, I was turned on. I never expected them to compare notes and realize that I had been seducing them without shame. 

 

I looked at the watch on my wrist and noted it was close to midnight and Ivan was coming to me at this ungodly hour. I listened as he lied to the guards that I was expecting him, and the guards let him in. He walked into the mansion and knocked on the main door. I removed my robe and remained with the bottom pajamas on. I smirked as I walked down the stairs. Barefooted, I walked stealthily as I felt him pacing by the door, huffing in anger.
