Sofia."And that's all there is to know, your assignments will be sent directly to you through emails. I wish you all the best and you might resume starting with the tasks assigned to you."I nodded straightening my knee-length skirt trying my best to not fidget under her hard, scrutinizing gaze. I had every reason to impress this woman but damn it was hard to read through her."Finally, your workstation is right here, our main programmers and designers are on this floor. They all like working in closed spaces so they won't be bothering you or anything." Elaina-- my supervisor explained, her thick Russian accent apparent with a hand gesture to the unopened office door with laced professionalism in her tone and I offered an understanding smile at her cooperative self."Find me if you need anything.""Thank you."And with that, she turned with one last firm nod to head back.My anger skyrocketed to the roof at the fact that the trio made her give me an entire office instead of working
Sofia.Fingers hooked under my chin."Baby, why can't just be a good girl and listen for once?" Nadei's soft tone, despite the gruffness of his deep voice, sent butterflies in my stomach. The feeling close to being warped in a warm blanket as he patted my head."But I just wanted-" my objection was cut off as he pinned me to the thick glass window, his hand behind the back of my head. My face coming directly with his lower chest and I for the umpteenth time cursed myself for being short.He hoisted me up at my thighs holding me up against the wall as he gazed at me, Nikolai, and Nial caught in my line of sight from either side.A hand slid around my throat like a collar. Tight but gentle somehow. "Little one," I just hummed avoiding eye contact which got me a slap on the thigh making yelp."Look at me," and I did at Nikolai.Nadei's face was buried in the crook of my neck, his five o'clock shadow tickling my skin as I suppressed a moan at the feeling of his hardness pressing up again
Sofia.I stirred awake, the bed dipping on each of my sides as I turned around to face the three men-- my three angry and upset men. I frowned rubbing my eyes from sleep. The disorientation swinging my vision back and forth."Love, sleep," Nikolai said upon noticing my shifting on the bed as I held my arms above my head softly groaning at the feel of my limbs being stretched out."What time is it?" I asked hoarsely."It's five am, little one. Go back to sleep.""I don't feel like sleeping anymore," I yawned. "Are you guys alright?" My worry was evident in my voice as they peered at each other for something.Whatever it was they had a mutual understanding on got a grimace to distort their usual smiling faces around me. The action shooting an uncomfortable anxious feeling within me."We're okay. Doll," Nial's dry answer had my suspicions right on spot.He was never like that. Cold."You don't sound or look okay," I interjected and they stood up abruptly their eyes looking mournful and
Sofia.Finishing up the defects and errors on the program I was sent to code. I sighed leaning back to stretch my tangled muscles deciding to head over and oversee how the trio-- my men- were doing.I was walking towards the trio's office, humming to Only love can hurt like this until a loud curse reached my eyes from outside their door.Identifying the loud voice as Nadei's. My hand immediately latched swinging the door open with fear as their eyes snapped to me in alarm. "What's wrong love?" Nikolai asked racking a hand through his blond curls."I just wanted to check up on you," I hugged him and Nial moving to Nadei that was holding a folder of some sort.The anger rolled off of him in waves and I clasped my hand around his rigid form pulling said folder from his grasp. Noting it as his reason of discomfort. I wanted to burn the damn thing.He cuddled me to him as if to calm himself down and I swooned at the act when he pushed his face into my crook planting soft kisses as my feet
Sofia.Chaos ensued after the three words I muttered but Nial still held me as I cried till my eyes went dry, sore and red rimmed yet he kept rubbing my back soothingly. The backlash of the other two was far worse than expected.My sniffing died down and I leaned into his huge form.I couldn't be more grateful that he was being calm-- rational about this. I could feel the anger rolling off of him in frosted cold waves chilling me to the bone yet he was so, so gentle.He held me in his arms as I broke down and he did nothing but make it better by just holding me in his embrace as if to shield me. Protect me and I loved the feeling of his arms around me.The other two were seething, growls, angry shouts, and grunts of displeasure echoing through the closed space and the gloomy evil darkness surrounding them was almost, physically suffocating-- it was perilous.And said anger was channeled towards the whole office that was trashed to pieces-- I could tell that they had some sort of an id
Sofia.But a half an hour into sitting in comfortable silence, I decided to be my dumb self once again. But the real question was, when was I not being dumb?Pulling myself up from their cocooned embrace to stretch my arms above my head, my sweater rose at the action showing an adulterated amount of skin. "Now, now, enough of the emotional shit. Let's go get us some lunch, I'm starving," I joked but winced after seeing the unamused look on Nadei's face.Okay... So, joking about it didn't make it any better.Copy that. Party popper."Too soon, I guess," I stated awkwardly, rubbing my nape but my words got a soft chuckle from Nikolai that shook his head looking down at me as he stood up."He's just being grumpy, Love," I snorted at the glare Nadei shoot his brother."When is he not grumpy? Is the question."Nial and Nikolai laughed as Nadei tried to act angered at my words but a small smile pulled up on his luscious lips. "Bad, bad girl," He mouthed shaking his head and I blushed feroci
Sofia.Nadei pulled a chair for me and I gave him a soft kiss on the cheek as a thank you. He sat down next to me, Nial and Nikolai facing us."That's the least I can do for you, princess." He squeezed my thigh where my skirt had risen to expose my skin and I shuddered at the cold sensation of his rings and the rough texture of his fingers.I internally swooned at his words but reprimanded myself at how I overappreciated some gestures that were the bare minimum when it came to men.The maids served the trio their meals receiving a grateful nod from them as Anne came into view, my excitement was evident on my face. I felt like a kid getting their favorite candy which was practically true in my case."Per your request, Miss," Anne said giving me a polite smile as she placed my bowl of soup and freshly baked garlic breadsticks, a grin taking over my lips."Thank you and please call me Sofia, how many times do I have to tell you that-" I said with utmost seriousness, "We're past the whole
Sofia."Baby, please say something," Nadei's deep voice plucked me out of my thoughts.I prepared myself to say whatever it was to wipe out their insecurity and tell them that I wasn't leaving anytime soon. Not anymore."I knew that. More like guessed-" they looked confused but interested, I rolled my eyes. "The tight security and heavily armed bodyguards and the extravagant and excessively large mansions. The whole carrying your gun with you even-to-the-bathroom-thing was easy to make me put two and two together," I shrugged.They let out snorts and I bit back a giggle at my wording. "You guys even have this dangerous and domineering aura surrounding you. I've seen the way people looked at you when we're out in public, so, it wasn't hard to know that you might be involved in some shady business," I completed wittily.They stared at me, emotionlessly and my face fell."Plus, I was born into that kind of life, even if I didn't want to be," I sighed "I was deemed to know of the kind of
