Chapter 28 The Rules, No Distraction 1
Elena Pov
The poolside has this beautiful, but low-key luxury sight just like the inside of the mansion is. The space was wide and enough to throw a party, and the pool was big enough to accommodate people.
A small dim bulb lit up the place and gave the night a mysterious feeling which was enough to leave one breathless, just the way I am at the moment.
I sat on a small stool, my easel stood in front of me, and my hand tightened on the pencil I was holding. My fingers haven't stopped trembling since the words of Marcus and I still can't believe what was happening.
I had only sneaked in here to take some videos of Alpha Marcus swimming for my selfish use, but who would have expected that I would be caught, and the most craziest thing is that I had thought I would be punished or thrown out of this place after crying out my feelings for him but instead, I'm sitting here waiting for Marcus to come out from the side room near the pool.
After Marcus had laid out his suggestion, I was so stunned to speak. My brain had gone into a dead line and my body had trembled in shock. I had thought he was being sarcastic but who would have expected that Marcus was serious? Before I could say “No”, he had snapped his fingers and to my surprise, one of his guards, who is an S+ Alpha, jumped out of nowhere and appeared in our presence.
And right in front of me, without caring for my opinion, Marcus had ordered that the guard bring me an easel and some drawing items. I had stood in a daze, my heart pounded so fast that it felt painful, my brain couldn't understand what was happening, my lips had parted but I could say nothing and could only watch as things went along with his orders.
I didn't even know when he left my presence.
But now, as I sat here, I felt a chill run down my spine. I have always hidden in my room to draw out my most sexual fantasy, I have always imagined what he looked like naked, and I had sometimes triggered my heat while thinking of him or drawing him, but today, this would be different because I won't just be drawing him from my imagination, Marcus would be sitting or standing in front of me as he wait for me to draw his god like figure and handsomeness, and thinking about it, I freaked out.
“Oh my goodness! What was I thinking before yelling out what I wanted to do with those videos?!” I muttered to myself, panic oozing through my system.
My fingers tightened around the pen, and my breathing rose. I closed my eyes and tried to regulate my breathing, but it became so chaotic and made me panic even more.
“What would happen if I didn't draw it to his taste? Hold on—” I suddenly paused as I thought of something weird. I tilted my head to the side and my eyes dimmed with confusion.
“What was he thinking? What is Marcus trying to do? Oh my goodness… Why do I feel like something isn't right?” I mumbled, then narrowed my eyes and raised my head when I heard footsteps that set my heart ablaze.
I sat down tensely, my head shifted to the side and my whole being focused on the place where the aura and footsteps could be heard. My hands were on my lap, and my fingers pinched my skin in nervousness.
“Thump Thump Thump”
My heart beat so fast and loud as I awaited the presence of Alpha Marcus.
The air thickened around me, my breathing slowed, my eyes moist and hot, and my skin throbbed with goosebumps. I don't know why I'm feeling this nervous, but something just tells me that tonight…
Suddenly, the thought in my mind died down. My eyes widened as they focused on the figure that appeared. My lips parted in wide gasps, and my face burned with shock… and excitement!
And what was I seeing?! What else would make any artist sit up in excitement and make their blood boil crazily?!
Well… their muse! And who is my muse?
The man who stood a bit far away from me. His dark eyes locked with my excited ones, his wet hair was smoothed to the back, his body was already dry, but they remained hot and… Fuck!
My lips trembled, my eyes shook and my breathing choked as I slowly moved my eyes down, like I was studying the most gorgeous work of art ever made. Slowly, from his Adam apple that bulged sexily, seducing my eyes and tempting me to take a bite, then down to his broad shoulders and slowly… my eyes moved to his muscled chest, which looked so strong and sexy. I couldn't help but go into a daze just by looking at his chest.
My mouth watered, and my eyes darkened as I imagined resting my head on that chest, and maybe, purring on it and this thought alone made my lower abdomen tumble from too much heat.
Thinking about what's next my eyes will see if I look down, my heart shook and my fingers clenched so tightly, but I still slowly moved my eyes down, and when I got to the sexy line that connected to his waist… oh my goodness!
No wonder he is named as one of the sexiest Alphas alive. No wonder people call him devilish! It's not just because of his aura, his power, or his wealth, but also his god-like gorgeousness that made one’s heart seize.
“Gulp.”
I took a deep breath, blew out air, and finally, I moved my gaze lower, but what I saw made my heart sink with disappointment.
I gritted my teeth and my nose wrinkled in dissatisfaction.
“Why is he tying a towel below?! I had thought… I thought…” I stammered, and my face suddenly turned red.
“Darn it! What the hell were you hoping for?! That he would come out naked?!”
Suddenly, a strong presence snapped me back to my senses. I looked up, but was startled to find Marcus who had been standing at a distance now standing very close to me.
My eyes widened, my heart thumped at the closeness between us and my breath seized.
We stood so close to each other, and I could see every pore on his face. I frowned, swallowed in panic, then raised my hand which held the pencil to his chest in hope that I could push him away, but… why the hell is he so strong?!
“You—” my words died down my throat when I felt him come so close that I could feel his breath on my neck. Then the next thing that happened was even more shocking.
I felt Marcus move very close to my neck, then he inhaled my scent deeply which made me stiffen.
“Mhm… You smell good…”
Bang!
My brain exploded, my whole body stiffened in shock, my mind went blank, and my blood boiled with excitement. Slowly, I came back to my senses, turned to look at Marcus whose eyes were narrowed deeply as he stared at my neck dangerously, as if he wanted to bite off my skin.
My fingers clenched, and I opened my mouth to ask him what he meant by that. I wanted to ask him if he truly liked my scent, if he—
“Why are you still in a daze?!”
His calm and indifferent voice snapped me out of my daze.
My eyes shook, and I looked at him blankly, “Huh?” I asked.
Alpha Marcus moved back. His face morphed into a cold expression that made my heart skip a beat, and before I could make sense of what was happening, he spat;
“For being naughty, you’ll draw a picture of me while I lie there. But,” he paused, and my blood froze with it.
I swallowed blankly, and my face turned red from nervousness and also excitement for what was about to happen, but also worried for what rules Marcus would give because I'm sure he wouldn't let me go, and I’m right as his next words confirmed my guess.
Marcus looked at me indifferently, his eyes narrowed briefly, then darkened after that which made my heart sink, then the corner of his lips suddenly curled in a smile that caused my pulse to rise.
“No distraction! I’ll give you only 30 minutes to draw a perfect image, and if you get distracted and aren't able to show me what was drawn,”
He chuckled dangerously, then I felt the surging energy pheromones in the air, they made my soul shake and my legs go weak.
My eyes widened as I looked at the calm Alpha in front of me in shock. But he didn't care, instead, his low, hoarse voice which sounded like danger itself sounded—
“I’ll tie you up, break your fingers and make you never hold a pencil or a phone ever again!”
