Chapter 26
Dominic
Ever since she came home looking like a new, sexy woman, Katerina has had a fire in her. Her attitude, while still feisty and rebellious, hasn’t been vicious or paranoid. She’s flourishing here.
She spends her days training for battle. Nikolai’s been teaching her how to fight in the ring, to shoot a gun, a crossbow, knife fighting, knife throwing… If it’s a way to be violent, she’s studying it. But it’s not just that.
She’s been training in other ways. She’s working out in the gym hours a day. And she runs around the compound every day. She’s either really slow or building endurance because her runs are now at least an hour a day.
I don’t know what I expected a wife to do. Maybe go shopping or bake or sew or garden? But not my wife. No, she’s far too badass for that. That’s why she’s perfect for me.
I’ve been keeping tabs on her. I know her progress.
She’s turning into a damn good soldier. She used to be a terrible shot on every weapon.
But her aim has tremendously improved. She lasts longer in the gym now too.
I’ve even watched her in the ring on the security cameras.
She’s pinned Nikolai more than once. I’ve been across the house, ready to storm in there a few times when he didn’t tap out quickly enough.
It’s not right that this man has felt my wife’s body pressed to his when I haven’t.
We still get into our tiffs, but for the most part, the water’s been calm.
Too damn calm. She’s placed a damn boundary between us, and I want to tear it down.
I want to touch my wife. I want to feel her skin.
Her lips. Her cunt. I’m fucking desperate.
I’ve gone crazy fantasizing about her. I jerk off in the shower every damn day.
There’ve been meetings I’ve zoned out because I’m picturing her naked. The closest I’ve ever seen was that first day in the shower when she stripped down to her bra and panties. They were plain, boring undergarments. But on her, it was the sexiest thing I’d ever seen.
I want to see more.
I want to feel more.
Fuck, she’s driving me crazy. And I don’t think she even means to anymore.
