Chapter 59 For eve

• Nikolai's POV
• As soon as the conference meeting ended, I quickly turned off the computer and tugged on the combat boots that were already laid out in front of my bed. As soon as I was done throwing my clothes on, I walked down to the training ground as quickly as I could. I sighted her as soon as I approached, seated comfortably astride a log of wood. 
• I felt the duffel bag I had come with slip from my fingers as I tried my hardest not to gape at her. When she stood to face me, my lungs emptied of all the air intact. She had complained about the jeans and T-shirt she wore slowing her down, so I had asked her to see Annalise for a change of outfits. She needed to be as comfortable as possible in order to get to her full potential.
