Chapter 18

In the dark living room, the man silently watched the sleeping girl.

After a long while, he seemed to finally make up his mind. Reaching out, he picked her up and carried her toward the bedroom.

Jostled in her sleep, the girl instinctively wrapped her arms around him like clinging vines, her soft face nuzzling against his neck like a kitten seeking affection.

The unfamiliar contact froze Alexei’s steps. The warmth of her body in his arms felt almost scalding, leaving him torn between moving forward or stepping back.

Biting back the urge to drop her, he managed to lay her down on her small bed. As he turned to leave, the girl murmured “Grandma” in her sleep–soft, tender, and full of longing.

Just as Alexei was about to exit the room, he found his hand firmly gripped, impossible to pull free. A surge of stubborn frustration rose in him, as if he were wrestling with himself.

Annoyed, he shifted the girl further inward, then lay down beside her, still holding her hand, occupying the other half of the bed.

Back in a familiar setting, the girl instinctively reached for her giant plush goose in her sleep, clinging to the warmth beside her.

With the girl nestled against him like a rose in full bloom. Alexei pinched the bridge of his nose, sighed, and finally wrapped an arm around her small frame before closing his eyes.

“Ah!” A scream shattered the quiet of the early morning.

Alexei caught the foot planted against his chest, pinning her back against him with one hand. “What? Sleep a little longer.” he murmured against her hair.

She’d slept like a baby, while he’d been up half the night.

“Why are you in my bed?” Natasha squirmed, pinned and furious, kicking at his legs.

How was this guy so strong?” she thought.

“Take a good look. You’re in my bed,” Alexei retorted without opening his eyes, playing the victim

His handsome face wore a lazy, exhausted expression–utterly distracting.

“Wasn’t I in the living room?”
