(Nicola's view)

I woke the next morning to discover that Nikki had fallen asleep holding me flush against his chest. I felt him stir and quickly closed my eyes as he sat up.

"Morning, Nicola darling." He greeted, as he pressed a kiss to my temple.

"Oh, morning baby." I replied with a yawn. "How're you feeling this morning?" he asked, as he stroked my cheek. "I'm okay, just still sore." I said, and he nodded sadly as he hugged me.

"I'm glad to have you here safely beside me, when you were kidnapped we were very worried." He said, before kissing along my jawline.

"Nikki stop, I need to go change." I said, as he let go of me with a whimper.

"I'll be back down in time for breakfast." I promised, and he nodded. "Okay," he said, as I hurried upstairs. Once I returned from upstairs, I walked over to the table and sat down next to Nikki.

"There you are my little dove, can you tell us a little more about what happened?" Nikki asked, as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

"I don't remember much, but what I do remember was I went to answer the door then I was grabbed by these two men who immediately put a hand over my mouth while the other knocked me out." I said, as I rested my head on Nikki's shoulder.

"I'm so sorry that happened love, I can't even begin to describe how much worry I felt when you were missing." Nikki said, as he pressed soft kisses to my temple.

"We were all worried about you Nikki Ruelle." Tommy said, as he and the other two rubbed my back in an attempt to comfort me.
