The Lycan King

Chapter 11. Shopping

Nikolai

I took a shower before searching for Ava, I didn't want her to see me like this. I messaged Andrei about

Ava's whereabouts. Sofiya and her were at the beach, sunbathing.

Fucking hell.

I groaned. I quickly walked to the beach. Andrei was sitting on a hammock, reading something while

Ava and Sofiya were sleeping on the beach chairs, Ava was on her back, her bikini back was open and

my eyes widened. I quickly went and sat besides her, tying her bikini and looking for her top when she

squealed and looked around. She relaxed when she saw it was me.

"What are you doing Nikolai?" She grumbled, rubbing sleep from her eyes. Her skin had turned darker

because of the sun, it was not the same creamy, rosy-white complexion of her in which I could see her

blush easily and had come to love. I hope the tan goes away fast.

"What are you doing like this here?" I growled. When I didn't find any clothing of hers, I removed my t-

shirt and covered her up. Her whole ass was out!

"I'm sorry. We were sunbathing." She mumbled looking down.

"There is no sun right now. It's evening Ava" I groaned. "I don't want you wearing such clothes outside."

My eyes took in her naked form. She looked hot as fuck.

"You told me I could do what I want." She whispered, still not looking at me. I pulled her chin up so she

looked in my eyes.

"You can, but wear clothes your own size." I told her bluntly. I didn't want to point out that her ass was

out or her bikini had become a thong.

"Yes, Nikolai." She mumbled like a child that had just been scolded. "I thought that since this is a

private beach and no one was here, it wouldn't matter."

"This is a private beach but there are a lot of people and staff staying in our home, there are cameras

on the entire estate except the rooms. Sofiya knows that." I said, giving her a pointed look but she just

waved me away.

"This is my home, I'll do what I want. I can't not live my life in fear of being watched." Sofiya said sassily

and I rolled my eyes.

Ava didn't say anything, didn't complain and wore my t-shirt until we reached our bedroom.

I felt like a dick now, I told her she could do what she wanted and now I was stopping her from doing

the exact same thing.

"Ava, I'm sorry." I told her before she entered the bathroom, hoping she caught the reasons and the

deeper meaning.

"I know you always wish the best for me Nikolai, you will tell me to do something when you know I will

benefit from it." She whispered and I closed my eyes. She still wanted me to be her Master but she was

doing this for me. I felt like the biggest dick for not realising it earlier.

"Do you want to join?" She asked me.

"No, you go ahead." I mumbled. I don't think I could control myself after seeing her naked again after

that night. But that night was also the reason I didn't want to touch her, she needed time before we

could get intimate again and I would wait as long as she needed. She nodded and entered the

bathroom.

At night, we slept like last night, not touching each other, she was on her side and I was on mine. We

didn't sleep naked like we always did, I wore my boxers and she had worn a top and shorts. It didn't

feel good but I reminded myself that it was the right thing to do. We would get past this, I was sure a lot

of men would sleep without holding their woman and would wear clothes to bed. I had become so used

to our routine that I couldn't fall asleep. I groaned internally and flipped facing the other side so I wasn't

facing Ava. Maybe if I pretend I'm alone, I can sleep.

I went to the kitchen where I knew Ava would be. She was making bacon strips for Sofiya today.

"Can I get some too?" I asked entering the kitchen and she turned to me looking shocked before

relaxing and smiling at me.

"Sure, take a seat." She smiled and I sat on the bar stool beside Sophia.

"Thank you." I told her once she placed them on my plate.

"Ava." I caught her hand before she moved away, I wanted her to be close to me.

"Do you both want to go shopping today?" I asked looking at the girls.

"Yes!" Sofiya said but I already knew that, I was waiting for Ava's reply. She nodded.

"This is my credit card. I have had your name added so you don't have to worry." I smiled at her.

"We are going to have so much fun! I'll show you the best brands and the from where we could buy, I'll

even-"

"No." I cut Sofiya's rant.

"You will buy whatever you like, from wherever you like, don't worry about the cost, it should be of your

choice, you will decide what clothes you wear." I told her seriously, giving Sofiya a look too. She

nodded, knowing what I was doing. I regretted yesterday's actions but I'd do it again if I had to, I could

not let her wear clothes that barely covered her.

"Yes, Nikolai." She said with a nervous smile, taking the card from my hand.

I ate my breakfast and went to keep my plate in the dishwasher, standing exactly behind Ava who was

now cooking breakfast for the others too.

I spun her around and kissed her, it had been so long since I had kissed her, I felt like I and my wolf

would go crazy if I didn't touch her. She kissed me back passionately and I knew she had missed it too,

I kept my hands to her shoulder level only. I didn't know what she was comfortable with and I didn't

want to push it.

"I have a car pulled up at the door for you, Andrei and two more guards will be coming with you both.

Please stay with them." I whispered in her ear before I stood to my full height and walked out of the

kitchen, Dimitri, Vladimir and Mikhail following me. We went to the meeting room and took our seats.

"They can take care of themselves." Vladimir told me.

"Barely." I snorted before we continued with our work. The day of the court meeting was coming close

and a lot of work had to be done.

After a few hours of work, I was climbing down the stairs when I heard the car pull up from a window.

Ava was here. I went up to the main foyer, wanting to see Ava's clothes, her choice and what she liked.

I saw one bag in Andrei's hand and four in each of Sofiya's bodyguard's hands and I frowned.

"You only bought this much?" I asked her, frowning. I expected more clothes. Didn't she like shopping?

"Yes, I couldn't decide what to buy and then I had to call Sofiya who was in another shop to help me

buy things. And then I was tired and it was getting late so we came back and I could buy only this much

in the remaining time." She told me quietly.

I knew she was upset with herself over this. I took the bag from Andrei's hands and led Ava up to our

room.

"It was your first time shopping, Ava, you did great." I told her encouragingly.

"Thank you, Nikolai." She whispered.

"Your welcome, my Love." I smiled at her, opened the door to our room for her, she gave me a shy

smile as she entered.

I opened her bag to see what she had bought. They were a couple of undergarments, bikinis and

clothes.

"Do you want to try them on and show me?" I asked. I wanted to increase her self confidence with this.

I had a good idea.

"Yes!" She grinned and started stripping. I gulped and looked away. This was not the time to get hard

but my wolf and my dick didn't understand that.

"Nikolai, look." She said and I turned around to see her. She had worn jeans and a top. She looked

really good.

"You look amazing, my Love, like you always do, but in these clothes you look even more beautiful." I

grinned at her.

"Really?" She asked me, her eyes twinkling as she watched herself in the mirror.

"Really." I smiled at her happiness. She stripped again and then tried other clothes, it was a tight dress

that came to her knees but was made of a thick material so she could wear it during the winter.

"This is the best dress you have bought, you look gorgeous." I grinned.

I went near her and took a hold of her hand before twirling her around. She was caught by surprise but

she laughed with happiness. I could see each and every curve of her body and my cock twitched again

at the sight. I quickly looked away.

She had tried more clothes before this and I complimented each one. But the dress was really the best

one yet.

"Oh, its dinner time, we should go." I said before she could get to the swimsuits or bikinis.

"Yeah, I'll change out of it. Wait for me please, Nikolai." She told me and I could hear the ruffling of her

clothes.

"I'll always wait for you, Love." I smiled. I looked again when I was sure she was covered.

"Lets go." I told her, holding her hand in mine as we walked to the dining room.

After dinner, we showered separately and then slept on our own sides of the bed and I hated each

second of it. I wanted to pull her close to me, hold her while she slept but I didn't.
