Jennifer and I decided differently.
Though, having her help men from injuries is the closest I want her to get to my business.
“I’m so glad I can finally see you again!” Katya beams, pulling Jennifer into a hug. My girl looks back at me with a slightly shocked expression, but once she sees my reassuring nod, she smiles and hugs Katya back.
I still think Jennifer isn’t used to being treated like this. Katya tends to overstep boundaries sometimes.
To be fair, both Katya and Jennifer don’t meet other women often.
Although recently, Jennifer, Victoria, and my mother have been spending a lot of time together. Don’t know what they’ve been up to, though.
Women’s stuff, I guess.
I’ve seen them play with Mary and Enzo often the last few days.
It makes me sad, kind of. I wish I could have more free time to spend time with them.
However, although Jennifer and I are sexually attracted to each other, I’m not so sure how Jennifer feels about me getting close to Mary.
Her daughter is adorable, but I want to keep a bit of distance for now. Maybe, one day, I can spend more time with her.
When Jennifer is more comfortable with it. It was obvious to me she wouldn’t be, the other day.
And if she’ll never be, then that’s that.
I’m not going to force myself onto her family.
Katya releases Jennifer after a few seconds. “Should we go get some coffee?” she asks.
Without even looking at me, Jennifer nods.
I’m glad. I don’t want her to feel like she needs my permission to do everything. Especially with someone likeKatya, I want her to have a normal life. Make her own decisions.
However, I still want her to feel reassured. I want her to know she’s safe around here.
“Are you sure you’ll be fine with that?” I tease. She laughs. Jennifer says, “Being with Katya is safer than riding that thing again.”
I look at Yuri. “She’s talking about my Harley.”
For the first time today, a faint smile appears on his face because of Jennifer’s and my teasing. “You took her for a ride? I thought it was holy to you. You’ve always bragged about not taking random bitches with you.”
I gulp, not daring to look at Jennifer. Fuck. I’m sure she’s gonna either tease me or possibly be mad at me for that later. “Changed my mind.”
He nods. “If you say so.”
The room falls silent. But then, as usual, Katya cuts through the uncomfortable silence. “Alright then, we’ve got girl things to talk about. Will you guys join us once you’re done? We’ll be in the living room.”
Yuri nods. “Of course, beautiful. We’ll join you immediately after we finish this… discussion..”
While our women immediately take off, all we do is watch them.
We don’t move for a few seconds, the sounds of Katya’s heels and Jennifer’s sneakers on the marble floor being the only sounds audible for a while.
He sighs, being the first one to speak up. “Alright then. Want to talk in my office? It’s more private there. I don’t want to bother my wife.”
“Good idea, Volkov.”
He nods before walking up the staircase. I follow him closely behind. It actually surprises me how much he trusts me. Any normal boss wouldn’t let another Don walk behind him on a staircase.
