“Baby girl,” How the name left his mouth sent goosebumps to her face. She could feel his cold breath fanning her face, his breathy hot scent filled her nose.
A wave surged through her body when his scrappy rough fingers touched her face before going to pick a lock in her hair. He twisted it between his thumb and the forefinger and rolled it slowly.
He leaned closer to her ear, inhaling her scent. The hot breath made Jasira go still on the bed. It took her every power in her not to snap her eyes open.
“Daring me was never a good choice, baby girl.” He whispered lowly into her ear before biting her earlobe sexily.
A full-bodied shiver ran through her. His breathy cold voice sent tons of goosebumps from her hair to her toenails. Her body radiated with shivers before they all formed a pool in her core.
He leaned away from her and stared at her face. His eyes lasted a second on her dried lip before he returned his gaze to her eyes. He brushed off the hair covering her forehead.
His eyes lingered on her hard nipples which strained out of the hospital gown. He chuckled lowly to himself and stood up.
He strode slowly and elegantly to the door and grabbed the doorknob before turning to Jasira.
“And baby girl, I knew you were not sleeping.”
Jasira snapped her eyes open at his words. Her cheeks reddened with embarrassment.
Busted! She thought closing her eyes tightly embarrassed to make eye contact with him but then she knew this was her only opportunity to speak with him.
She slowly opened her eyes only to find him staring at her with a smug grin on his face.
“Alejandro,” She called and his face pulled into a tight frown at the mention of his name. She groaned and rolled her eyes.
“I knew it was my lord to me.” She added tired of his nagging.
“Please come.” She pleaded. Alejandro hesitated for a while before walking up to her. He took his seat on the chair next to her.
She turned to him after dropping the flower to her side. Her eyes stared into his emotionless blue eyes and sighed.
“You shot me.” She started. Alejandro was unmoved, he simply nodded.
“Told you I would.” He replied nonchalantly.
Jasira tried to sit up on her own and a loud painful groan left her mouth. She shut her eyes at the pain radiating all her body.
“Shit!” Alejandro muttered before helping her up.
“Thank you.” She muttered and he gave a curt nod.
“That was not a nice thing to do.” She scolded and he chuckled darkly at her words.
“I’m the opposite of nice, I’m wicked and self-centered.”
She groaned. He would never let her have the last words.
“I knew, I knew, don’t remind me again.” She groaned rolling her eyes. Her eyes dropped to his neatly coiled hair that dropped to his neck. Her fingers itched to touch them.
She placed her hand on his cheeks and slowly rubbed her thumb on the hallow of his soft skin. Alejandro was confused at what she was doing, he was fighting with his inner demon of letting her continue or stopping her but the earlier won and he hated that.
“Can I touch your hair?” The words slipped out of her mouth after being coupled up in her mind for a long, she pushed her lips forward to look cute.
“No!” He snapped and leaned away from her making her hand drop in process.
“But.” she pouted sadly darting her eyes cutely. Alejandro scoffed and shook his head.
Very childish.
“Why can’t I touch it? C’mon, it’s beautiful, let me find out if it is soft?”
Alejandro chuckled genuinely which took Jasira by shock. That was a real nice chuckle. It’s not dark or anything. Her heart warmed at the sound.
“Nope.” He said adamantly and Jasira rolled her eyes.
“But?” She pouted with tear-filled eyes.
“Jasira, you are overstepping your boundary.” He snapped. His voice returned to its cold usual self and she groaned loudly.
“When are you going to release me?” She asked on a serious note staring deep into his confused face.
