CALLA

Things between Viktor and I have been surprisingly pleasant, even fun, in the last few days since our date and he took my virginity. I don’t regret what we did, and he doesn’t either. While we aren’t overly affectionate all the time, he does find little ways to touch me and connect with me when we’re around each other.

He’s also not avoiding me anymore. He comes to bed at a reasonable time and he’s not slinking away before I have the chance to wake up. We haven’t had sex again and the tension between us has been growing. I’m not sure which one of us is going to break first.

I want him. My husband.

It’s not at all what I thought would happen when Pavel told me about the arrangement, but it’s true regardless. I want Viktor. He made my body sing in a way I never imagined it could. The way he was gentle with me endeared him to me and I’ve found it impossible to build walls around my heart again.

It’s a strange sensation to be falling in love with my husband. It’s the last thing I thought would happen after the first day I met him. There’s a tenderness about him now when we’re around each other and I’m soaking it up willingly.

I have to see this through and not just because I don’t have another choice. I want to find out what happens between us. I can only hope this feeling continues to grow and Pavel doesn’t do something to ruin it.

I do need to figure out something more productive for me to do other than read and lounge all day. I’ll have to talk to Mistie about it because I want to be a valuable member of this family. They’ve opened more than just their home to me. They have welcomed me into their family and I’m grateful to all the Orlov’s because of it.

My phone ringing pulls me out of my thoughts and when I see Pavel’s name on the screen, I’m tempted to not answer. I know it’s not a good idea and take a few deep breaths while reminding myself I’m safe. He can’t get me here.

I put the call on speaker because the notion of my brother speaking directly in my ear makes me feel creeped out. “Hello, Pavel,” I keep my voice neutral and level.

“Calla,” his voice is oily, and I can practically see the way he’s sneering as he says my name. “I trust you’re being a good little wifey.”

I swallow hard, unsure what to say or how the rules he’s set out for me apply when we’re on the phone. He made sure I understood I am only to answer explicit questions. I figure staying quiet is the best thing to do.

“I haven’t heard anything negative from Nikolai,” the name on my brother’s lips is dripping with derision, “I’m going to take it as a good thing. I’m sure if you were being an unsatisfactory wife then I would hear about it.
