Sofia.
I felt a pair of arms wrap around me and I sobbed harder clinging to the person not even caring that it was one of the trio.
Burying my face in his chest inhaling his calming earthy and minty scent making my waterfall of tears stop to gather my willpower.
I knew that I was hugging one of the monsters that decided to cage me again. But I didn't care enough to push him away knowing that I'd use any type of comforting.
I was a touchy sensitive person and hugs always made me feel good. They pulled me to earth and brought me a sense of calmness but this wasn't the case this time.
Feeling my tears and sobs subsiding to small sniffles. I hurriedly pushed his hands away standing up stiffly to lock gazes with his pretty hazel guilt-filled eyes.
Nikolai.
If he felt guilty, so why not just let me go?
And why did I feel safe in his arms despite my growing resentment for him and his brothers?


Sofia.
Walking in groggily. I slumped on the bed to scream into the really nice fluffy pillow letting my frustration and anger out.
The one time I thought that life was actually going well for me and I get kidnapped by some hot psychopaths that claim to fucking love me. Me?
I turned around to lay on my back. Staring at the ceiling of the pretty room I was in, aimlessly, remembering what Nadei said before I stomped my way to their God-forsaken room.
A few minutes earlier..
"You should go get ready were going to our home in a couple of hours," he murmured tiredly, yet a hint of excitement could be detected.
That was not my home.
The Golden retriever of this crazy family-I mean Nikolai eagerly added, "We'll get one of the maids to bring you something to wear until we get home lyubov'. It would also be good for you to take a nap. You look tired."
Whose fault was that?
I looked at Nial waitin

Sofia.
I didn't even realize it when Nadei sat on a chair in their fancy dining room and pulled me onto his lap not noting my discomfort.
I looked up, glaring at him. My anger and confusion were blinding my rational side, suddenly not fearing him anymore. "Let me go, I'd like to sit down. Over there." I pointed at a random empty chair.
Looking down at me with amusement struggling to pull his arm that was pinning me by the waist to his front, he answered with a sharp 'no' making me scowl at him and stare at the other two across from us with a pointed glare.
"Let.Me.Go.Now!" I shouted, insisting on every word as I dug my short but neatly clipped nails at his hand getting tired of this stupid mouse and cat crap.
He growled. It sounded feral, animalistic. A fucking warning and my eyes widened as my chin got held between his long fingers. Here comes the pain. I shuddered anticipating the worst as always.
His voice was strained and angered, "Stop moving or I'm going to do something you won't like, Little girl."
I heard two light chuckles from Nikolai and Nial across the table. What the fuck, people? Couldn't he just understand that I was uncomfortable? And that it was borderline weird, caveman shit.
Looking down at my hands feeling small and flushed at the way his voice made me feel mumbling, "Could you just please, put me down I don't feel comfortable on your-r," I spat out the plead like poison, my emotion too varient to mask." Erm- lap."
Tightening his grip on my waist he again answered with a grumbled 'no' squeezing my waist.
Plan D it was then.
I would play his- their twisted game then. So, I decided to ask nicely. Too nicely.
Blushing at what I was about to assert looking at Nadei's unwavering grip on my waist to his jade green eyes. My eyes slightly watered on demand as I hoped to pull whatever this was off.
"P-please d-daddy?"
I heard three sharp inhales and something poked my bum, instantly. Oh, my. He didn't. Did he just-
No,
Freaking,
Way.
Blushing redder when I knew what that single word had done to him. I looked at Nadei with a pleading look making him clear his throat and avoid my eyes.
He hurriedly set me on the chair next to him to adjust the very impressive bulge in his black sweats making me blush a beet red at my unholy thoughts.
Just cause I was a virgin didn't mean that I hadn't read things.
Thank gods that Carter suggested that reading erotica and steamy romances would make me know some things that I never did before.
Gods, I missed him.
Remembering that we weren't alone I glanced to see that the other two struggling to keep their laughter at bay from my weird interaction with Nadei.
It wasn't that funny but sure. Awkwardly averting my eyesight elsewhere, they actually busted out laughing and pointed at the slight blush rising on Nadei's creamy complexion.
"Черт возьми он краснеет," Nikolai clasped his stomach and laughed at his older brother's unwavering scowl.
(He's flustered for fuck's sake)
Seizing his laughter Nail wiped the corners of his eyes, muttering to Nikolai, "Это знаковый брат."
(this is iconic, brother)
Stopping his brothers from mocking him any further Nadei turned to me and said sweetly, the scowl that he had on a second ago leaving his gorgeous features. "What do you wanna have for breakfast, Little one?"
I smiled internally at the fact that he got over the awkward situation, focusing on the food that I wanted to fill up my plate with some chopped fruits, and pancakes with some OJ.
After practically shovelling food into my mouth.
I sighed, relieved. Placing my hand over my slightly bloated pudgy stomach patting it. I looked up to see the trio staring at me weirdly.
I shrugged and peeped around the excessively huge dining table that was enough to attain twenty people or more as I wondered how these giant handsome ass men were still single and lived in a giant mansion.
Did they not feel lonely? Why build a mansion in the middle of nowhere? Why did they kidnap me? Why are they treating me like this?
Why me?
I bet women threw themselves at them but why me?
I gulped hardly keeping my overflowing tears to myself. I wasn't someone worth having anyone's attention on but still, why me?
"-Baby girl, are you alright?" Nial's soft yet deep concerned voice pulled me out of my daze propelling me to be aware that I had been zoning out. Again.
I looked at Nikolai and Nial to see them at each side of my chair peeking at me with concern.
Wiping the single tear that managed to leak down my cheek. I pulled on my big girl panties on and squeezed my eyes shut.
"Why do you want from m-me? Can't you all just let me go? I promise I won't tell anyone just--just let me go, please, I beg of you. I can't--" my head was cast down as I felt my heart clench in pain.
I just wanted to be normal.
My chin was lifted to meet those pretty brown lovestruck eyes. Nial.
His voice was unexplainably soft, caressing my tear-strained cheek with his palm. "Sweetheart, we're aware that we hurt you and took you from your home and are so so fucking sorry for that but we can't let you go now. You're our королева, how can we? We're too attached. We're selfish and can't let you go."
(Queen)
Shocked and perceiving the fury that was awakening within me clouding my brain with nothing but bloodlust and anger. I hoped that it was a tongue slip. Hoped that this was some sick joke.
"What do you mean 'our'?" The question I was able to ask was fortunately strong coming and laced in sharpness.
Nikolai grabbed my hand from my right side clasping it in his huge one awfully soft one. My light colored eyes snapped to his that shone with adoration, hope and love. Mine glared with malevolence.
"As in our lover, friend, soulmate and eventually our wife. Love, we want to spend the rest of our lives showing you how much we love you and cherish you like the goddess that you are."
What?
"We want you to be ours."
Huh?
Looking at him horrifically. I pulled my hand to hold it to my chest and pushed away the chair to stand up. My impending panic attack rose a notch. What the fuck was wrong with these men?
"Wow, wow! Hold up, when the hell did I agree to any of this? Plus did I just hear you say 'our' as in all three of you? I'm NOT marrying any of you and damn fucking straight you are more than selfish. How can you even think of forcing me into this?"
Standing up to their full height made me shrink back. Menacingly, his jade orbs turned darker than I had ever seen them be.
Fear rose within me almost instantly.
I was a whirlwind of emotions around these men. A rollercoaster of feelings twisted my insides and turned my heart into a jackhammering mess. I was mad, beyond comparison and sad but mostly afraid.
I had a lot to lose but a lot more to live for.
"Now, now, Little one. Why make the sound of us getting married sound so bad?" The other two looked disturbed but cautious of Nadei's reaction to my disagreement and unadulterated anger.
"We'd be fulfilling all of your needs and showing you how much we love you and adore you. You'd never want or need anyone but us in exchange for your love, heart, body and soul and we'd be yours and yours alone and you, ours."
What kind of weird-ass love confession is that?
I didn't even know them.
I took another step back, horrified. They had tried to reach out to me, eyes softening, arms outstretched in what seemed to be an invite that I was sure going to refuse and refute.
"S-s-stop wh-why would I marry any of you nor want t-to be with y-you? I-I don't know any of you and I sure as hell, don't l-love you also isn't what you're saying illegal-" pausing to gather my self-control, completing my sentence.
"- Hell, even you kidnapping me is illegal and now you want me to marry you. Y-you're delusional and crazy. Just leave me the fuck alone!" I cried out the last part with anguish.
Falling to my knees crying silently to whatever Gods above. Why was I so prone to heartbreak and loss? Just why?
How could they love me?
Me? Of all people.
I was going to be caged once again, that much I knew.
However, it didn't mean that I wasn't going without a fight.
Not this time.

Sofia.
I felt a pair of arms wrap around me and I sobbed harder clinging to the person not even caring that it was one of the trio.
Burying my face in his chest inhaling his calming earthy and minty scent making my waterfall of tears stop to gather my willpower.

Nikolai.
If he felt guilty, so why not just let me go?
And why did I feel safe in his arms despite my growing resentment for him and his brothers?
Shaking my head out of the intrusive thoughts, I peeped at the other two giants, halfheartedly mumbl
