Chapter 24 024
Danica's POV
The bright ray of the morning sun seeped through the comfort of my eyes being tightly closed. I blinked once and then twice, trying to adjust to the impact before opening my eyes completely.
My heavy eyes moved round the room, trying to register the fact that this wasn't a dream. I was really laying down in a beautiful dream room... Oh and yes, with a strong arm wrapped tightly around my waist like I was going to run off into some wilderness.
Alexander.
A small smile touched my lips as I recalled the events of last night after he assured me he would never hit me over a mistake.
He returned to sniff me out a few more times before flicking that devilish tongue of his over my bare neck and for some reason, I almost got a mini orgasm from that one lick. It felt like I got marked right there and then.
From there, he got me off the kitchen island and the minute I said goodnight, I bolted to leave but he wasn't done with me. Not even nearly.
He wanted to walk me to my room, since he was no longer sleepy. I didn't argue because I knew there was no point arguing with the likes of Alexander.
From escorting, he promised to lay down by my side quietly and watch me sleep until he felt sleepy as well, then he would leave. Or so he said.
But right now, a certain attractive big man is laying right here, sleeping like a baby who has no care in the world.
He looked so beautiful, peaceful, I could get used to seeing him like this, if my being an omega didn't already complicate issues beyond normal.
I slowly raised my hand to protect his face from the ray of the sun. I didn't know how long I kept that up but I got out of his hold to drag the curtains close when my arm began to feel numb.
It was fifteen minutes after seven but I couldn't bring myself to wake him up. He probably hasn't had a good night's sleep in a while. So I simply grabbed a robe and a small towel before dashing into the bathroom.
Renee had reluctantly told me the time to resume at work and I didn't want my tardiness to be the reason why she would hate me more than she already has.
Resumption time is 7:40 and I'll get there at exactly 7:40. No extra seconds... No messy presentation... and definitely No distractions...
I was done washing up within eight minutes and when I got out, I almost jumped out of my skin at the sight of Alexander sitting relaxed on the bed, shirt long gone and his hands tucked behind his head against the headboard.
For a few seconds, I practically ran out of words to say and I simply stood there gaping at him and still avoiding his gaze at the same time.
"Good morning, Dani" he muttered, his deep voice sending a shiver snaking down my spine.
"Good morning, Alpha" I responded with a tight smile, avoiding his gaze all the while. I was suddenly too aware of the fact that aside from my robe, nothing was covering my body. I was suddenly too aware of every bolt in my body responding to a single sentence that came out of his lips.
I'm going crazy. Most definitely. There's no doubt.
It took a raise of his brows and the displease in the words he said next was enough to remind me that I was drying my hair before I stopped midway at the sight of the sinful Greek God straight out of the pits of sweet hell sent to torment not just my body but also my sanity.
"I see we're back to... Alpha" he drawled and I cleared my throat once before nodding. I resumed drying my hair with the towel as I responded briskly.
"It's work hour already. I'm permitted to call you by your name only within my comfort zone, am I not?" I said as I took steady strides towards the bed to grab the clothes I dropped there.
The plan was to have my bath and get dressed right here before he woke up from the peaceful slumber but that was obviously out of the question now. Apparently, he's not ready to get off the bed and I'd be damned if I actually got dressed in front of him. So I tried to escape in my own way.
"And this is not?" His sarcasm was obvious in the words but I simply kept up my initial humor. "Then, tell me, Dani. Where and when exactly is your comfort zone?" He asked thickly, voice completely calm, in contrast to the force he applied as he pulled me to the bed in one swift move.
"Come on, tell me where... And when.... Is it when I do this?" He whispered huskily, hovering over me as he joined both my hands in one of his and pinned it above my head.
"Or when I do... This...?" His voice went low, his free hand sneaking up my robe slowly, torturously.
"Alexander..." I whimpered, my breathing labored and my mind reeling with several emotions... Fear of where this is going and the fact that I had no willpower to stop it, fear of getting late on my first trial and a desire so strong that I'd let him take whatever he wanted right here, right now.
"Yeah? Finally in your comfort zone?" He taunted, hooking up the hem of my robe even higher. Every drag of his powerful hand over my thigh left a tingle at its wake and I felt desire pool between my legs. A desire so strong I feared he would smell it.
"No... I... I'm"
"No? Not yet?" He murmured, and I jerked when his finger grazed my inner thighs.
"I'm going to be late for my first trial" I blurted out, breathlessly, pleading with him with my eyes as my voice suddenly went paralyzed for the job.
"As you should be... For defying me so confidently, don't you think, Dani?" He murmured in response and I almost choked out a sob.
A finger grazed my sensitive skin again and I arched my back softly, panting silently as I watched him withdraw the finger only to lick it off with his tongue.
"I'm going to let you off this time because you look so hot, lying right here beneath me, totally at my mercy as you silently beg me to spare you"
"I'm also letting you off because you taste so... good. But make no mistake, Doc. The next time I have to correct you, I'll do it with my tongue buried deep inside you and damn those bewitching eyes of yours, I'm not going to stop even if you beg me to." He muttered, choosing his words carefully, full of promise, and slowly, I began to come to terms with the fact that this secret mate of mine was a man with a very naughty mouth.
I nodded without even thinking. Anything to get away from the one man who almost sent me tumbling over the edge of a release by his mere words.
He got off me and released his firm grip on my hands and I breathed in a hard sigh of relief. I immediately scrambled out of the bed with my clothes held tightly against my chest as I bolted into the walk-in closet, ignoring the laughter that bub
bled behind me.
That man right there doesn't disappoint as a total flirt!
