At The Club

Nikolai and Merri returned to the cottage and Merri went into the kitchen to make a pot of tea. He followed then stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her thin waist.

Leaning his head on her shoulder he whispered in a low and seductive voice,"Malyshka, do you really want to go to the Club?"

 Merri tilted her head, "Anya is looking forward to going, I don't want to dissappoint her."

His warm breath sprayed on her neck and her heart raced as he nibbled on her sensitive earlobe. Nikolai's hoarse voice was full of reluctance,"Then we will go." I want to keep the little angel to myself and monopolize her attention but can't say no. Forget it...Whatever she wants…

Merri softly sighed then turned, meeting his eyes filled with only her she tenderly kissed him. 

 The sound of the teapot whistling brought her back to her senses. In a breathless voice, she said, "I will make the tea, why don't you wait in the living room."

 Seeing the little girl avoiding his gaze and shyly biting her red and swollen lips he grinned broadly. Merri's flustered appearance as she hurried towards the stove made him want to scoop her into his arms and carry her to bed. My angel is the cutest…

He narrowed his dark eyes thinking about going to the Club…I don't want any other man to see her shy and innocent look. Only me!

Meanwhile at the Club, the lively crowd on the dance floor gyrated to the sound of the pulsating music. Seductively dressed dancers employed by the Club enticed the men present to indulge themselves as drinks and drugs fueled the decadent scene. The sea of bodies on the dance floor moving to the rhythm of a sensual song created an erotic atmosphere.

 Vera and Max stood on the side of the dance floor waiting for Nikolai and Merri to arrive. Vera was wearing an eye-catching silver sequined jumpsuit with a plunging neckline. The sexy jumpsuit barely covered her large breasts and accentuated her long legs. Silver and crystal earrings dangled down her neck and swung back and forth as she suddenly turned towards Max.

 Impatiently tapping her ten cm heels she was face to face with him and angrily snapped, "Why isn't Nikolai here yet?"

Watching the dancers he wasn't paying attention to Vera, annoyed she only invited him to come because of Nikolai. He leisurely swirled the ice cubes in the glass of whisky in his hand and ignored her.

Vera pulled him away from the loud music thinking that he couldn't hear what she said and screeched loudly, "Dammit! Where is your cousin!"

He flicked Vera on the forehead and teased, "Temper..temper…" He sipped the whiskey, " You should give it up. He likes the little fairy girl."

She pushed his chest and her nostrils flared, with an intense gaze full of determination she spit out, "Max Rushkin! I won't give up! I have loved your cousin for too long to let a little vixen steal him away!

 "How many times have I told you, Nik never had you in his eyes. Fuck! He never gave a shit about any woman until he met this little girl. There are plenty of men in this town who are interested in you, me for instance. Why waste your time deluding yourself?"

Consumed by jealousy and hatred, her entire body quivered, she pursed her red lips into a thin line, "Just wait…you will eat your words when he marries me!"

She stormed across the bar to find the men she hired to abduct Merri. Hmmph…will he still like the little slut after her face is ruined and she is gang raped?!

 Max shook his head, it is surprising that my cold cousin likes a pure and innocent little rabbit. But, he obviously cares alot about the little fairy from the way he dotes on her.

Nikolai entered the Club with Merri and his sister. He wasn't happy because Anya gave Merri a short black lace dress to wear. Out of the clothes she brought to the cottage for Merri , this dress was the most conservative but still revealed her shapely legs.

 Merri liked the dress so he had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Now that he witnesses the hungry stares of several men devouring Merri, he wants to turn around and leave.

 Max strode over and rubbed Anya's head, "How did you convince Nik to bring you?"

 She swatted his hand, "Don't mess up my hair!"

An unruly looking man approached them, he was wearing a burgundy silk shirt with the top two buttons undone and tight black jeans. Two heavy gold chains and a tuft of black chest hair were exposed giving him a wild look. Seeing the delicate girl standing next to Nikolai his deep blue eyes lit up. With a wide grin he reached out and pulled Nikolai into his chest then pressed his mouth close to Nikolai's ear, "I want the woman next to you. How much?"

 The veins on Nikolai's neck bulged and he tilted his head, his face contorted in anger. "If you want to die, say that again."

 "I was joking." The bar owner,Larus Grovnik, laughed then let go of Nikolai.

Nikolai retracted his murderous aura, adjusting his expression to face Merri. He had a smile on his face as he introduced Merri and Anya to Larus.

 "Vera and the guys are in a private room on the second floor, follow me."

Nikolai intertwined his fingers with Merri's and they followed him up the stairs.

Max waved his hand for Anya to go and she was reluctant, enthralled by the electric atmosphere. She coquettishly held his sleeve, "Max, I want to stay down here."

"No. Nik said to keep an eye on you."

Anya stomped her foot, "Cousin! This is more fun! Sitting around a private room sounds boring!"

He watched Nikolai and Merri walking up the stairs, boring? There should be a lot of fireworks in that room when Vera sees the little fairy. 

"Well, we can stay here for a while. Do you want a glass of juice?"

Anya wrinkled her forehead and pouted."Can't I have one glass of wine?"

"No."

She held up one finger and gazed up at him with an aggrieved expression, "Just one."

 He was unable to refuse his little cousin when she acted like a baby, "Only one."

Upstairs in the private room, when Vera saw Nikolai enter she walked over with a big smile. "I was wondering if you were coming." She took Merri's hand and tried to pull her away from him. He didn't let go of Merri's other hand and Merri looked at him with a helpless expression.

 "Nik, I want to introduce Merri to our friends."

 "..." Merri had a strange feeling, our friends?

 He possessively pulled Merri into his embrace, "No need." 

 A man sitting on a couch licked his lips while staring at Merri's beautiful face. He set down a glass of wine then pushed the woman sitting on his lap onto the floor. He staggered over to them and stood behind Vera then hung his hand on her shoulder, "Nik, long time no see."

 Vera had an ugly expression as she removed his hand reaching into her jumpsuit. "Sergi, you are drunk."

"Not."

 His eyes remained glued to Merri as he asked Nikolai, "When did you get back?"

Nikolai remained expressionless but he wanted to gouge the drunken man's eyes out. "A few days ago."

"Why didn't you call me?"

"I was busy." 

"Who is this little beauty?" Sergi stretched his hand to touch Merri's cheek and Nikolai grabbed his wrist. He suppressed his killing intent but speaking Russian warned, "Not someone you can touch. If you don't want to lose that hand, leave. Now."

The woman who came with Sergi scrambled over and held his arm,"Babe…come sit down."

 Sergi wrapped his hand around the woman's waist and sneered, "Boring." He leaned on her as they walked with her to the door then turned, "Brother, you have changed."

They were all speaking Russian and Merri had a bewildered look on her face. Although she doesn't know what they were saying she could tell Nikolai was angry…very angry.

He noticed her furrowed brows and kissed her forehead. In a pampering tone that wasn't lost on Vera he asked, "Do you want a glass of juice?"

She smiled at him, "Sure."
