The Russian's Assertive Lover (The Tonov Triplets Series Book 2) (10 page)

Six months later...

Courtney wrapped her arms around Nik's waist. “Morning,” she murmured, pressing her lips against his back.

“Morning, beautiful,” he said, turning around to pull her into a long kiss.

Behind him, pancakes were sizzling on the stove. They were in their apartment now. Courtney had been staying there ever since Cindy found her own place without a poisonous boyfriend. With her student debt piling up, and with classes taking up a lot of work time, Courtney agreed to move in with him. He had welcomed her in completely and so far, he hadn't regretted it. “If you're not careful, the pancakes will burn,” she admonished.

“Shh,” he whispered. “Let them burn.” He kissed her long and hard, his hands gently framing her face. “I think I have my breakfast right here.”

“Really?” she asked. “Again? You must seriously be hungry.”

“For you, milaya moya. Always.”

She giggled and pulled away. “Unfortunately for you, I have a whole different kind of hunger. Pancakes first, then maybe sex.”

He groaned. “You drive a hard bargain but deal.” He lifted her left hand and kissed the pale white scar that now graced it, right where the initials had been. As far as he was concerned, it was a huge improvement, and Courtney agreed. She smiled lovingly at him and pushed the collar of his shirt back to kiss one of his own scars.

“If you insist on trying to heal my scars, then I'll have to do the same for you,” she murmured.

Nikolay smiled. There was no way he was ever going to love this woman any more than he already did. He would happily spend the rest of his life trying to ease her pain and heal her scars as long as she was with him. “I love you,” he murmured.

“And I love you,” she said, smiling up at him. “But I also like pancakes.” She kissed his cheek and then moved away to sit at the kitchen table.

Nikolay laughed and turned back to the stove just as there was a knock on the door.

“I'll get it,” Courtney called. She got up and went to the door, her smile fading when she saw a strange woman standing there, holding a baby. A baby with bright blue eyes that matched Nikolay's exactly.

“I'm looking for Dimitri Tonov,” the woman said. “I have something of his.”
