Contracted to the Wrong Alpha
Chapter 54
Lex’s Pov
I was a nervous mess standing outside her room door and doing nothing, I couldn’t knock nor could I bring myself to boldly open her door.
Maybe Raven should have taken my place instead. It was stupid to think that I could face a lady whose expression towards my actions was filled with disdain and disgust.
I wanted to go to her to apologize and comfort her but how on earth can I fulfill that promise when I have what it takes to kill her? I tell her to avoid me but I’m here dying to smell her scent and stare into her pretty eyes.
Goddess, I need to talk to Lilia and I need to do it alone while I figure out how to fix the mess in my company and hers. She was wrongfully cursed and it needs to be reversed as soon as possible.
I swallowed hard and the image of her being slapped by me haunted my brain but the feeling of seeing her once more was so great and It took over my entire body.
I pushed the door open and it hit me, that fruity smell of peach and Jasmine oil mint caressed my skin and I stiffened. My jaw tightened as I tried to fight away any thoughts that would make me feel relaxed.
Her bed was empty, safe for her mobile phone which kept buzzing and the cat in me was forced to take it to take a look at it but I pushed it off. Her room was so clean and arranged, that different antiperspirants and deodorants were arranged in the drawer where the mirror was fixed. Her laptop and a stack of files were seated neatly on the table and her bed was neat with a fluffy purple duvet that called onto me to lie down.
I was sleepy, all thanks to the large intake of alcohol which was now messing with my system but the pulsing nerve in my body was more than enough to keep me awake. I wondered where she was, maybe she was outside and would come inside soon. I dragged my feet to sit down on the bed, eyeing the room as if it was a strange abode, a place made for Lilia, and I have never felt so jealous. I wished to stay and lie in this scent too, goddess! I could stay here forever because of her scent and I was beginning to get scared of getting so vulnerable.
She came inside and shut the door of the restroom behind her and froze midway on seeing my presence sitting on her bed. She looked around to be sure she was in the right room which almost made me chuckle but I was far from getting chuckled, I was already on fire.
Fuck!
What was she wearing?
I couldn’t tear my gaze away, a tiny piece of short white lace in the form of a nightie was wrapped around her delicate skin.
Her skin glowed in the dim lights, her long golden brown hair was dripping with water and the scent of her shampoo was heavenly.
I gawk shamelessly, she was beautiful. Sinful pink lips, a fuck me dreamy eyes that blinked in confusion, and a perfect pointed nose to compliment her beauty.
Her gown wasn’t only short but had a deep V neckline that exposed the right amount of her tits. I could clearly see the shape of her nipples through the transparent fabric and Xander roared with such ferocity that made me tremble as cold sweat broke on my forehead.
I stood up, staring at her face. I couldn’t think anymore at her sight, I’m fucking tongue-tied and whipped not when she was giving me a stare of accusations and a mixture of raw vulnerability and defiance in her eyes.
She glared at me as I took a few more steps towards her and the pulse in her neck quickened than ever, her chest heaving in erratic breath.
“I know why you’re here Lex, don’t worry. I heard everything and I’m willing to go to Midnight Shade tomorrow. Just go, I’m trying to avoid what you’ve said.” She said, avoiding my gaze but her tone was sharp and precise.
“Flower, I..” I swallowed and faltered in my own words. I can’t believe I’m getting speechless before this woman.
“Things were not supposed to happen this way, words got out. Alveria got stubborn.”
She nodded at me and folded her hands across her breasts, giving me a cocky stare.
“I know, it’s not your fault. Sooner or later, you all would have found out. It’s my fate, I’ll face it even if it means dying as long as my parents are safe.”
“It won’t happen.” I gritted my teeth and she let loose the defiance and feral feeling she was holding.
“That’s enough bullshit I’ll hear and take from you Lex, get the fuck out of my room.”
“Flower listen to me…” I tried to touch her but I received a stinging slap and I retreated instantly.
“What do you want from me Lex, are you such a confused soul? Please let me be, I’m trying to avoid you so stop acting as if you care, stop the promises because no matter what happens, I remain nothing to you and I will end up getting hurt by you!” She yelled so loudly and I ruffled my hair in frustration but I wasn’t ready to give up so easily. A part of me told me I wouldn’t get this opportunity again once I leave here without setting things straight with her.
“I just want you to listen to me.”
“No!” She growled and her eyes glinted, “Anything that has to do with Midnight Shade is my fate, I’ll face it. Just protect my parents till everything is over.” Her voice cracked with pain and she wiped the tears that fell from her eyes angrily.
“What happened at the office..” I started shamelessly, I couldn’t believe I was about to apologize to a woman. I’ve never done that before to anyone after Seraphina but here I am, willing, desperate for her to give me a listening ear.
“It wasn’t Intentional,” I whispered and she glared at me.
“I’m sorry, can you give me a chance to redeem my promise not to hurt you? I.. lost control and I wasn’t thinking.”
I tried to explain, feeling my emotions pouring out as I did something extremely terrible that warranted a public apology.
When did I reach this stage of caring about how she felt about my actions, a usual me would overlook everything and appease her with lots of money if I cared. But here I am, looking disturbed by how she felt not even caring about the downfall of my own company.
“Even if you still want to get mad at me, I’ll make it up to you.” I nudged further but she gasped exasperatedly and bit her lips. The one I badly wanted to fill my mouth with and bite so badly.
“But why?” She asked me softly. “Why are you even apologizing instead of letting things be the way they are? Why are you so invested in making things right?” She asked me, her tone was laced with confusion and I cupped her face, caressing her cheeks with my thumb and I could feel her neck pulsing so fast. It made blood flow southward.
“Because you’re mine until further notice and I don’t want to create bad blood between us”
“I remember your rules clearly Lex” she added, her lips curling into a scoff.
“What happened?”
I sighed and desperately buried the crook of my nose at her neck and she froze instantly, swallowing hard.
“I don’t know either, but I know the rules were broken, it broke the day you made me break mine, making me jerk off myself thinking about you,” I whispered huskily into her ears and she gasped, parting her lips, and panting in harsh breaths. “The day you keep proving how intelligent you are or was it the day you drove me insane by touching your wet dripping folds in your room, moaning my name sweetly?”
“Lex…Le.” Her face was red, she tried to avoid my gaze and Heaven knows how I restrained myself from having her right there. God! I saw a beautiful sight that made me hard for weeks thinking about that.
“That’s how you affect every single thing in me, flower, and seeing you hurt is the last thing on my mind. I’ll try to control myself next time rather than hurt you.” I raised my face from her warm skin and bit my lips hard, caressing her lips that parted open. Her arousal hit me so hard that I cursed hard, I made the mistake of keeping my eyes down and I was met with the most beautiful sight that made my cock twitch painfully. The purpose of coming to her room flew out and was quickly replaced with a forbidden heat that was draining me. Her nipples were hard, they pointed at my chest which heaved with a thumping breath and her tits were perfect.
Fuck!
I gawked shamelessly, I should go. Tell her what I need to tell her and leave or find a random bitch to satisfy my horny feeling.
But a word from her, that sexy tone that sounded like a moan to my ears broke the ice.
“Lex….”
“Fuck this Lilia!” I growled at the sound of my name and crashed my lips on her.
Kissing her hard.
