Nikolai woke up at the crack of dawn, his room was dark but he moved effortlessly despite the visual limitation. He stepped out of the room after a while of moving around silently, fully dressed, a cigar in hand.

The hallway was lit, the light washing over his cold features as he started for the guest room. The drug should be wearing off soon, he should know, it was what he took to fall asleep, night after night.

He woke up like clockwork after it wore off, his nights dreamless and short.

He didn’t trust Angelo to sit tight for the entire day and he didn’t want to keep the assassin tied up all day. One day was fine, but after a week it would be torture. Angelo seemed like he would like that, and Nikolai couldn’t give him that luxury.

So he settled down on a nearby couch and waited for Angelo to rouse. His men had already rifled through the van that Angelo drove to the apartment complex in and to his disappointment, it wasn’t outfitted with explosives, he had been too hopeful.

All they had found was a discarded set of clothes and it was easy to make the connection that it belonged to Angelo so he had his men get more. Nikolai stared at the assassin on the bed, at some point he had curled up like a little animal, his hair wild.

Angelo could draw his attention in a room full of people, it was no surprise that things ended up the way they did. He didn’t seem like he did anything for the thrill of it, the assassin didn’t have even a single sense of humor.

Angelo didn’t keep him waiting for too long, the Beta slowly uncurling as he roused. Pale eyes peered out of a confused face until they got to where he was seated, only then did Angelo stiffen, a sharp clarity coming to his previously muddled eyes.

"Angelo, you’re up." Nikolai said with a pleasant smile. "Clean up, you’re leaving with me." He said calmly, sitting back in the chair.

Angelo was still half-awake, it was unlike him to be so out of it, as a matter of fact, it was unlike him to fall asleep at all. So it was a fact that Nikolai had put something in his drink, how unfortunate that it wasn’t poison.

"I’m not," He said calmly, his fingers gripping the sheets.

"That wasn’t a suggestion." Nikolai said coldly.

Angelo however refused to budge, "Then you’re just going to have to drag me out," He shrugged, his tone light despite the words he spoke.

Nikolai forgot to draw on his cigarette, staring at the assassin in disbelief. Very few people defied him, and even less did it so casually, especially in Angelo’s current conditions.

He rose to his feet, "Alright," He accepted calmly, walking to the door.

Angelo watched him leave warily, he hadn’t been expecting Nikolai to give in so easily. Once again, they were at a stalemate, Angelo couldn’t infuriate the Mafia King enough for the other to draw his gun on him and spare him this trouble.

Mafia King Nikolai didn’t return, he hadn’t even bothered to lock the door. He had left Angelo unbound and sober, was this another trap?

Angelo didn’t move from the bed for the longest of time, he sat still as the sky brightened outside, a troubled expression on his face.

Lake woke up wrapped in his mate’s arms, it was still the crack of dawn so it was unlikely for him to be up so early. Davian was wrapped around him, the Alpha gentle even in sleep.

He had become extremely cautious a short while ago, right at the same time that Lake’s bump became visible. Lake found it endearing at first but it soon became a nuisance.

He wasn’t too worried about that, however, because they would leave soon for their month-long vacation. It also doubled as a honeymoon and Lake would get to have Davian all to himself.

As his pregnancy progressed, Davian took on more and more duties, Lake didn’t mind, he was just worried that it would take a toll on Davian. He didn’t mind doing it, he was just more hungry these days, and more sleepy, but his mind was still as sharp as ever, he could run the Mafia House by himself.

After all, Davian had wanted to give up on the Mafia House completely...

"Hey, are you awake?" Davian’s raspy voice broke into his thoughts.

Lake smiled as the Alpha nuzzled his mating mark, a gentle hand on Davian’s head. "I wanted to use the restroom," He gave a random excuse.

Lake hadn’t known why he had woken up but he had been content to let Davian hold him while his thoughts ran wild.

Davian lifted his head, "Was I holding you too tight?" He frowned, already pulling away.

Lake clung to him, "No, I just wanted company." He said shamelessly.

Davian sighed in relief at that, getting out of bed to help Lake off, "You should have woken me up. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Lake was really spoiled. "No, hold my hand," He requested.

Davian already had a gentle arm around his waist, the Alpha holding his opposing hand with his free one. Lake let his eyes slip shut when Davian pressed gentle kisses on his face, Davian was guiding them to the bathroom, he didn’t really need to use his eyes.

"How did you sleep?" Davian asked softly, not letting go even after they got into the marble bathroom.

Lake’s response was a sleepy hum, he couldn’t fall back asleep just a few moments ago but now he was dead on his feet.

He didn’t remember getting on the toilet, dozing off so hard that Davian had to hold his whole body up. The Alpha had to carry him back to the room, getting on the bed with him in his arms.

Davian gently cradled the sleeping Omega, usually, he would have seized this opportunity to get out of bed and prepare breakfast but Lake always noticed when he did. And having Lake come find him instead of sleeping wasn’t worth cooking him breakfast.

So now he kept his mate company in bed, learning to sleep right through his own internal clock until sunlight came streaming into the bedroom room. Only then did he get up to get ready for the day.

"Shower with me?" Lake reached out to him from the bed, those honey eyes seemed to hold the sun, his dark brown hair messy.

Davian gritted his teeth, beyond tempted. But he knew that Lake was only docile when he wanted to be, the moment they got into the shower, the Omega would take complete control of everything and he would be at his mercy.

"Let’s shower tonight instead," He stiffly turned down the wonderful offer.

Lake pouted, knowing that Davian saying that meant they wouldn’t be showering together at all. After gorging on Davian’s cooking at dinner, he would be too sleepy to hold the Alpha to his promise.

He wasn’t disappointed for too long, after all, today was the last day before their vacation. So Lake brightened up, "Alright then," He said before getting out of bed to skip to the bathroom.

Davian narrowed his eyes at that, he couldn’t help but feel a streak of ice go up his spine. Lake had to be up to something, his mate had accepted his response graciously, which was unlike him.

Davian liked whenever Lake was pouty because he didn’t often get to see it, so maybe he had formed a bad habit of turning Lake down just to see him whine. But now there was none of that, Lake had just given him a sweet smile before happily skipping to get cleaned up.

He walked off to his connecting room deep in thought, was there something he was missing? Did they have something special to do today that he had forgotten.

Lake was still beaming while he drove down to FluxCorp, Davian was still a little concerned but seeing his mate so happy melted his worries, his mood brightening.

"I like seeing you happy," He said honestly.

Lake turned in surprise, like he hadn’t noticed that he had been smiling up a storm. The Omega had been making mental plans for when they went on vacation, it was to a quiet island with white beaches and serene waters. When they got there, he would spend a full week inside with Davian.

It would just be them, no meetings, no reports, no Mafia House to run. And there he could finally corner his mate into getting what he wanted... sex.

He wasn’t starved of affection, if anything he had been spoiled rotten, but Davian was so wary of penetrative sex after his stomach rounded, like the Alpha was scared of popping his tummy with his dick. Even Doctor Perez’s words couldn’t reassure him so he would have to take matters into his own hands.

The doctor would be tagging along with them on their trip after all, he would be in very safe hands.
