Nikolai

Three months ago you married Nikolai. Your relationship is based on appearances, sharing the same house but not the same bed, so you never got involved. He is a busy man and spends most of his time working at his company, so they don't see each other much, except when you accompany him to dinners and events. Precisely because of this distance, they would have dinner together, so that they could at least see each other on a daily basis Today is Friday night, and as usual, they are having dinner together, there is no conversation at the table, but they have gotten used to it enough with the presence of the other without becoming uncomfortable with the silence. After drinking the wine, you ask him to pour another for you, so he takes his attention from the plate, picks up the bottle and holds it towards the glass, but hesitates.

"I.. I'll pour some more for you but on one condition" His voice comes out calmly as he puts the bottle down, letting it rest on the table again, seeing you look confused "you'll have to drink the wine sitting on my lap."
