The Lycan King

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 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
