Nick A Novels & Stories

She just had to keep watching. “Fuck that Julia, you’ve never done this before, why now, i mean..” Nick voice trailed off, he was making a gesture as if he was referring to Diana being there. He took another sip at his whiskey clenching his teeth, reaching inside his breast pocket; Nick brought out a packet of London’s best. Everything she saw in Ohio kept surprising Diana, a police was in a nightclub drinking whiskey with his duty uniform, and not only that; he smoked too. Diana wondered what sort of police Nick was. She concluded that he must be one of the road ticket givers.

I hold myself together before my knees give out completely. Mike steps back, his gray eyes sweeps over me. "And who might this gorgeous woman be? Your Luna?" Cassius clears his throat. Is he blushing? I'm blushing. Mike’s gaze is rolling over my body, taking in the smooth fit of my dress, my curves. He particularly stayed on my cleavage. "My name is Nicki," I say. "Oh, Nicki . . ." Mike starts. "Mike, meet Nicki Barnes," Cassius supplies. "She’s a brilliant software engineer, the best you’ll ever meet."

There she is, with her sister. I walk towards the bar and lean my forearms on the cold wooden top. “Hi doll, what can I getcha?” Nick says as he approaches me and I look at him and I see the look he gives me. “Hey handsome, could I get a soda, please? It is so hot today.” I say with a giggle, really getting into character, and he smiles at me. Nick is a handsome guy. Just a shame his taste in women is really shit.

Nicko nodded, said, and smiled, "Then do you know where my territory is?" Zack Thompson also asked in a condescending tone, “So what? You want to compare your territory to mine? Well tell me, where is your territory?" Nicko responded casually, "Westcoast Town, the whole of Westcoast Town, is my territory!" “Tch!” Zack Thompson snapped at him, “You want to trick me by saying the whole of Westcoast Town is yours? Have you never considered Mr Russell Raines? I can tell you my relative is Russell Raines' confidante, and he is Adam Reinhart. Now you still dare to provoke me?”

JULIE "Yeah, sure. Call me Nick or Nicholas," he suggests and heat coats my cheeks when I realize he just asked me to use his pet name if I like. "Okay.. so how about — um… Nick?" I say, almost whispering the words. I am not sure if I sound pleasant or nervous. Whatever it is, I am surely nervous right now. His name is pretty, to be honest. Nicholas — a Greek name, if the knowledge is still in my mind. And it means the "victory of people". It is a strong and bold name, perfect for a bold and humble man like him.

Ingrid calls out. "Nickie?" Nick asked. I laughed. "Minaj." I mouthed to Nick and he smiles. "It rhymes with Annie. Now don't say you don't like it when I call you Nickie cos I'll take back my vote." Ingrid says. Nick laughs. "Okay boss." He salutes.

I took my back when the man nodded at me, but then got halted when I saw Alpha Jacob walking toward us. “Brother! Finally, you came. I’ve been waiting for you for quite some minutes now.” What? Alpha Jacob has a brother?

I could have done some serious damage to Calvin and all of the fuckheads if I had truly wanted to. ‘Neo said that we have to cross through one of the training rooms,’ Nika said. ‘Okay. We’ve got this.’ She flashed me a wolfish grin that showed how ready she was. Nika was one scary wolf when she wanted to be. She held enough power inside of her that she could destroy damn near anything she set her mind to. “Together,” I murmured and gave his hand a squeeze. “Together, beauty.” My lips tipped up with the nickname. It felt familiar when everything else felt out of fucking control.

"What about Nick?" Alinta stared at Marisol with a look that said she knew something was going on between them, but she reassured her first. "Don't worry. Things were a bit rough at the beginning, but I heard Nick secured a partnership project with the National Security Agency. Now, he has government protection, so everything's fine." Marisol wasn't surprised that he'd secured it. She understood the value of Nick's algorithm, the CN Large Language Model. It was inevitable that he'd succeed.

I just stared at the screen, not knowing what to do or say as Dorian spoke based on Nick's 'about'. "You just had sex with the most private businessman and millionaire in Indiana. Nicholas King, the owner of NK Security Company."
