Escaped My Ex, Got Snatched by His Rival - Chapter 427

Chapter 427: Dark Possessiveness (2)
So just as the coffee finished dripping in his mug, Nicolai sent a message to Ari which would both annoy and make it impossible for her to ignore him.

[So, I was thinking —did you take a fall this morning? With all the trouble, you had with adjusting my length and all.]

It took her three minutes to read the message and just as Nicolai wondered if she was going to ignore it, but — then again, if his Pallas didn’t surprise him, she wouldn’t be his Pallas, right?

Two seconds later, she responded to him.

[Careful, Mister de Luca. Your narcissism is showing.]

She was so freaking adorable. She was stuck up, but she was still cute. Nicolai could imagine her glaring at the message as if hoping to put him in his place by going all prim and proper.

[What’s wrong? Are you not going to call me Nico, like you did last night.]

[I don’t see the need to]

A grin etched on his lips as Nicolai brought the mug of coffee to his lips and took a swig from him. He found her attempts to dodge the happenings of last night adorable.

The noise in his head from yesterday had quietened down, but the intense urge to never let Ariana escape was still where it had been.

[Why? Do I have to be naked and buried inside of you for you to call me Nico?]

[Stop it.]

[Why? Do you remember what happened last night? Well, I do admit that I hated washing your essence off me just now. The thought alone is enough to make me hard.]

He wasn’t joking, the memories from last night were enough to make him harden.

[I am at work.]

[And yet, you are texting me? That’s not good. Does Aiden know that you are texting me? Bet he wouldn’t like.]

[For now, it is me who doesn’t like it.]

[You liked me just fine when you were begging me to go harder]

[I did not do such a thing.]

Nicolai grinned upon reading the message that Ari had sent, but then a second later he texted her solemnly

[But honestly, are you okay?]

[Why are you asking me this?]

[It was your first time, and you didn’t let me help you in any way, I am honestly a bit concerned.]

[I am a doctor, I know what I need to do —Mister de Luca. Not only that, I also took a pill first thing in the morning, so I believe that I am fine.]

Pill? It was then he recalled coming inside of her. In all honesty, Nicolai had never gone bare with anyone. He didn’t want any kind of complications to arise, Ari was his first and he was certain that she was going to be his last in many ways.

Certainly before her, his initial reaction to these words would have been a worry, then panic before he went high in alert mode to get rid of any possibilities. However, when Ari told him that she had taken the pill, his first reaction was disappointment.

What did this mean? Was he hoping for her to get pregnant with his child?

His attention was diverted by another message that flashed on his screen.

[Are you always this caring towards your bed partners?]

No. He wasn’t. He didn’t care what happened to them as long as he got his release. Most of them were experienced, and they knew what they were getting into. Ari however —

[No, you are special. And I am sorry about last night, I shouldn’t have released inside of you.]

And though he said that, Nicolai found that the only thing he regretted and felt sorry for —was the fact that Ari took that fucking pill.

Only if she hadn’t, she would have no way out left in front of her.

“Where the fuck did you go last night, Nico?”

Turned out that his cousins were flipping their lids off after he drove out of the club. They won the best and yet, neither Aiden nor Kayden stayed in the club to count the bills that they had won.

Funnily enough, Kayden also put the bet that Nicolai would be the one to win when he was one of the competitors.

The two of them were so freaking dramatic.

While Aiden looked around the city with Patrick, the two of them looking through every murder case that took place last night, including the suspects on the list, Kayden went snooping around the Serpents’ territory.

He actually kidnapped a few of the underlings and interrogated them one by one, as he went like— “I know that things are a bit tricky, but if you have seen the arsonist who set your club on fire, call me.”

Of course, in return, he received some really heavy injuries, but Kayden said that he didn’t regret shit.

The only one who was calm was none other than Zena which was surprising as his sister usually went crazy when he went MIA all of a sudden.

“Nowhere,” Nicolai answered as he looked at Kayden who was sporting a swollen cheek and a heavy cut on his neck which was treated by his brother, Aiden in a trice— as per Kayden.

“What do you mean by nowhere?” Aiden banged his fists on the table. “We called you for the entire night and yet, you did not answer our calls.”

Because he was too busy answering someone else’ sweet calls.

Nico the Great twitched as if he were waking up from his slumber and Nicolai cursed. Not here! His family was right in front.

But of course, he couldn’t tell them that he was having the best night of his life when they were worried sick, so he went with the only available option.

“I was dealing with my raging temper,” he replied. “You all know and so do I. I needed a different way to cool off.”

“Fantastic,” Kayden rolled his eyes. He turned to his brother and said to him, “This man ruined my fucking face, and then he went off to go cool down somewhere else.”

“Yeah, who does that Nico?” Aiden asked with twitching lips. “His face is the only decent thing about him.”

“You—”

“What’s wrong Zena?” Nicolai asked as he noticed that his sister was surprisingly quiet. “Why aren’t you fussing over me like usual?” Noticing her unusually quiet countenance.
