Page 64 of Bound For You
“I saved you, Avs, and you know what? Your husband refused to see your twins.”
I turn my glare to whose Sergi’s eyes widen. I smack the back of his head.
He turns to Ivan. “Dude!”
Ivan just shrugs. “What? She might be shy, but, fuck, can she be scary sometimes.” I roll my eyes, and he comes over and kisses my head. “I couldn’t let you die, Avery; you’re going to be my best resident.”
I snort and smile at him, and he walks out, saying he’ll come check on me later. He also tells me he’ll call up to NICU to have the babies brought down, making my heart flutter.
I turn toward Sergi, and he sighs, and rasps, “It didn’t feel right without you. I didn’t know if you’d make it, and I thought our daughter was dead. I just couldn’t without you.” Tears fall down my cheeks and I grab a hold of him and hug him tight as he sobs in my neck. “You can’t leave me, baby.” I nod and my fingers through his hair.
“I love you,” I whisper.
He pulls back a little and rasps, “I’m sorry, baby: this was all my fault.”
I shake my head. “Vasiliki, I knew him when I was four years old.”
He pales, then curses. “Your birth mother’s druggie boyfriend.”
I nod. “Only he’d worked up the ladder since then.”
Sergi sighs and leans his forehead against mine. “They won’t hurt you anymore.” I nod against him, knowing what he means. They’re gone.
The door opens and a woman comes in, wheeling in my babies. I grin while Sergi tenses. I look at him with a furrowed brow, but he just scowls at the woman as she rasps out, “Hi Sergi.”
She’s trying to be seductive, but it comes out whiny, and now I see his problem. I don’t like causing drama, I prefer to stay in the shadows, but I’ve just woken up after nearly dying, and haven’t even properly held my babies.
I take a deep breath, then I say calmly, “Instead of trying to seduce a married man in front of his wife, how about you bring me my babies, then get the hell out of my room.”
The woman jumps and looks at me, paling, and I scowl at her. Sergi gets up and walks over to her. She smiles at him, and I shake my head.
Her smile soon disappears when he pulls the twins’ bassinet out of her grip, and states, “I don’t want you anywhere near my children or wife again, do I make myself clear?”
She pales again and nods, then looks at me.
She sneers at me.
Rolling my eyes, I state, “Did you know that I’m going to be doing my residency here under Ivan?” She gasps, and I smile. “Also, one of my closest friends is Sofia Volkov—I think you may know her. She’s spoken about you before. Apparently, you havea thing for seducing married me. You look at my husband again, and I’ll sic my best friend on you. She knows how to use a gun.” Sergi snorts and wheels the babies toward me, and the nurse scampers out of my room. I say, “Sergi.”
He already has his phone out. “I’m on it.” He dials, waits for her to answer, then says, “Sofia, do it.” She says something to him, and he smirks, then hangs up. “She’ll be out of a job in the hour.” I nod, a woman like that shouldn’t be allowed around sick babies.
He kisses my forehead before picking up our daughter and placing her in the crook of my left arm. Then picks up my son and places him in my right. I look down at my twins, and my tears fall down my cheeks.
I choke out, “They’re perfect.”
Sergi nods as he runs his fingers through my hair. Anthony moves his head toward my chest, Natalia following her brother on the other side, and I grin and look at my husband. He smiles, then helps me take off my gown, then he helps the twins latch on. I wince at the initial contact. Geez, that hurts.
Sergi frowns. “You okay?”
I giggle a little. “It’s normal for it to hurt at first.”
He breathes a sigh of relief and I smile at him, then sob a little when they start suckling and my milk flows for them. I was worried that, after everything that happened, I wouldn’t produce milk for them.
Sergi smiles, kissing my lips gently, and he teases, “I hope they know they’ll be sharing.” I snort and shake my head at him with a grin, my man.
“I love you.” He smiles.
“Not as much as I love you,dragotsennyy.”
