All Chapters of The Mafia King's Collateral : Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Nikolai’s POVThe afternoon sun streamed through the kitchen windows, casting a warm, golden glow over the marble counters. I had slipped out of bed quietly after Liora had fallen into a deep, peaceful afternoon nap, her body exhausted from the emotional days and the passionate night we’d shared. She needed the rest. I wanted to do something for her - something simple, something that showed her I was here, fully present, and committed to making up for the distance that had grown between us.I decided on lunch. Nothing too fancy, but made with care. I chopped fresh vegetables for a salad, seasoned chicken breasts with herbs and spices I knew she loved, and started the rice in the cooker. The kitchen filled with the comforting smells of garlic, lemon, and herbs. As I worked, my mind kept drifting back to her - the way she had looked at me when I returned, the tears of relief, the way she had clung to me like she never wanted to let go.I smiled to myself, flipping the chicken in the p

Nikolai’s POVI stood in the main foyer with my most trusted men gathered in a quiet semicircle. The morning light spilled across the marble floor, but the atmosphere was serious. Dmitri, Viktor, and three senior guards waited for my final words before we left for the jet. Liora was already by the door, speaking softly with one of the staff about our bags. I kept my eyes on my men.“Listen carefully,” I said, voice low and firm. “For the next few days, nothing is more important than the safety of this house and the little girl inside it. Alora is to be guarded with every bit of skill and honor you have. You do not leave her unattended. You do not allow anyone near her without my direct clearance. You stay alert at all hours.”Dmitri nodded once. “Understood, Pakhan.”I continued, looking each of them in the eye. “I am trusting you with the most precious part of my life. That means you stay sharp. You stay present. You do not create problems that force me to return early. I want this

Nikolai’s POVShe was trembling in my lap, soft and warm and already so responsive that every small sound she made went straight through me. I kept one arm firm around her waist, holding her steady while my other hand continued its slow work beneath the thin fabric of her dress. Her breast filled my palm perfectly. I squeezed gently, then more firmly, rolling her nipple between my fingers until another quiet, shaky moan slipped from her lips into mine.I kissed her deeper, swallowing the sound. My tongue stroked against hers in the same unhurried rhythm as my hand, tasting the way her breath hitched every time I pinched just a little harder. She pressed closer, her body restless, thighs shifting against mine. I could feel the heat of her even through our clothes.“Still being good for me?” I murmured against her mouth.She nodded weakly, eyes half-lidded, lips parted and already slightly swollen. “Trying…”I smiled and kissed her again, slower this time, while my hand left her brea

Nikolai’s POVAfter the last of the food was cleared away, a comfortable silence settled over the suite. I kept Liora close against my side on the wide sofa, one arm wrapped around her shoulders while the ocean breeze drifted in through the open balcony doors. Neither of us felt the need to fill the quiet. The simple peace of sitting together, full and unhurried, was enough. Her head rested lightly against my chest, and every now and then I pressed a soft kiss to her hair, content to simply exist in the same space with her.After a while she shifted and looked up at me with a small, almost shy smile.“I’ll be right back,” she said quietly. “I just want to quickly use the toilet.”Before I could answer, she leaned in and gave me a quick, sweet kiss on the lips. Then she slipped out of my arms and disappeared down the short hallway toward the bathroom. I watched her go, a faint smile still on my face, and leaned back against the sofa. The suite felt even quieter without her soft pre

Liora’s POVI was still on my knees, cheek resting lightly against his thigh, when Nikolai reached down and gently guided me up. His hands were firm but careful as he pulled me into his lap, settling me across his thighs so that I was facing him. The sudden closeness made my already flushed cheeks burn hotter. I could still taste him on my tongue, and the realization made me feel shy all over again.He cupped my face with both hands and kissed me softly slow, tender presses of his lips against mine that felt completely different from the heated urgency of earlier. There was no rush in the way he kissed me now. Just quiet affection. I melted into it, my hands resting against his chest as he continued the gentle exploration of my mouth.When he finally pulled back, a small, almost playful glint appeared in his eyes. Before I could say anything, his hand slid down and delivered a firm, unexpected spank to my backside. The sharp sting made me jump and let out a soft squeak of surprise
