Page 30 of Care: Part 1

Her heart was still beating out of control, and her eyes could never leave the bulldog in his hands. The dog began to move and walk over to Avelina.

“Adrik, get the dog!"

Adrik didn't do anything as the dog kept walking towards her. All he did was sit there laughing while Avelina plastered a frightened expression on her face.

The moment the dog jumped down from the bed, Avelina took off running. She could hear the four paws slapping against the ground as she ran out of the room.

"Get the dog! I'm not playing!" She cried only to hear Adrik's laughter coming from inside his room.

The hallway was way too long. She didn't stop until she had made it to her room, where Avelina slammed it shut the second she was inside. She was finally able to catch her breath as she leaned against the door.

The sound of the dog waiting for her outside of the door made her heart never slow its fast thumping. The dog then let out a small bark as if alerting her that it was ready to come into her room.

"Come here, girl!" The sound of Anton's voice called out, speaking in Russian.

Avelina then could hear the dog’s footsteps descending from the door and toward the sound of Anton's voice. Once again, she found herself letting out a breath of relief.

After a long moment, she could hear a rustling of the doorknob.

"May I come in?" Adrik's voice had questioned.

She stood up from the floor and opened the door with narrowed eyes. Avelina didn't want the dog to come back, so she pulled Adrik into her room and quickly slammed the door shut.

"I liked lying in bed with you. Do you mind if we do that more?" He asked.

Choosing to ignore him completely, she walked right past him and toward her restroom. Avelina couldn't believe he had just let the dog attack her while he stayed in bed, laughing his heart away.

"Did you not hear my question, Avelina?"

She let out of sigh before turning to look at him. "I'm choosing to ignore you because you let a dog attack me when I begged you to stop it.”

"Sobaka is harmless. She only wanted to meet you. If there were a dog that had plans on actually attacking you, I would not just let it do so.”

Her heart fluttered at his words. For someone so brutally honest, he managed to have a way with words. "Just because you're cute, it doesn't mean I am no longer mad at you.”

"Why was Anton here with his dog anyways?" She questioned.

"He came to get an assignment, and he brings Sobaka with him because she doesn't like being in his house all alone sometimes.”

She frowned at his response. It was such an adorable story, if only it weren’t a dog he had to bring.

"I'm going to shower, but you can wait for me if you'd like," she smiled.

"We should care more about the environment. A shower together would seem to suffice that, don't you think?" He asked, his hand touching her shoulder and trailing up her neck as his eyes followed his movement.

"Or we could both just take shorter showers.”

He walked closer to her leaving her heart to skip a beat. His other hand had moved down to her hip. Adrik pressed himself closer to her.

"I will see you after your shower.”

He moved over to plant a kiss on her cheek. The feeling seemed to tattoo itself in her brain. She was in a state of bliss, her body was awakened. Avelina didn't ever want to wipe it off.

Her eyes followed him as he walked out of the restroom and into her bedroom.

The second he was gone, she looked at herself in the mirror before cupping the cheek that he had just kissed with a smile on her face.

She stepped out of the shower. Avelina grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her body. She then proceeded to do her nightly regimen of brushing her teeth and taking care of her skin.

Once she finished everything, she walked out of the room to find Adrik already sleeping in her bed. His shirt was completely off, giving her the perfect view of his abs that trailed down to his v-line.

Heading over to her clothing, she slid on a pair of underwear and shorts. She then turned away from Adrik before sliding on a T-shirt.

Avelina walked over to her bed, where she crawled in beside Adrik. A smile was playing out on her face when she leaned down and pecked his cheek just like he had done for her.

The moment she slid into the blanket, warmth immediately enveloped her. Desire picked at her emotions when Adrik circled his arm around her waist and pressed himself closer to the back of her body.

She didn't want to leave him within the next three months.
