Playing with Fire

Chapter 33 - Dreams

Charlotte's POV

I yawned, rubbing my eye, and wanted to stretch out when I noticed a hard surface under my head. I touched it sleepily, frowning without opening my eyes; it was warm. My eyes opened wide as I understood what it was.

Damn it!

I gulped nervously, lifting my head up slightly, and looked at Alexis. Fortunately, he was still sleeping. If he saw me in his arms, it would boost his ego, and he wouldn't stop talking about it, teasing me non-stop.

I pursed my lips together and tried to pull away carefully without waking him up. However, he tightened his grip around me and sighed without opening his eyes. Then he buried his head into the hollow of my neck.

Fuck!

Now I was almost lying on his body, pressed against him, and his morning bliss was poking at my stomach. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how big he was.

Stop it, Charlotte!

I frowned and tried to pull away again, resting my hand on his chest, but he tightened his grip around my waist again. I gritted my teeth angrily and pulled away harshly.

"Are you planning to run away before I see you on my side? Moreover, in my arms." Alexis commented arrogantly, still holding me in his arms without opening his eyes.

"You were awake?!" I stated angrily.

He opened his eyes and gave me a cocky smirk without releasing me.

"Let go of me! Why did you pretend? You are annoying." I pulled away angrily, resting my hand on his chest.

If holding me in his arms wasn't enough, now he pulled me towards him more, making me lie down on top of him.

"No, I am still sleeping. Didn't you tell me you would be in my arms only in my dreams?!" He gave me a mischievous grin.

I gritted my teeth, giving him a dirty look. "You did it. You pulled me towards yourself purposely." I scowled angrily.

He raised his eyebrow with an amused expression. "No, koukla mou. You willingly find a refuge in my strong arms. Don't worry. I have this kind of effect on women." He stated arrogantly and winked at me playfully.

"Asshole! Let go of me now! And stop calling me koukla mou!" I demanded, irritated and tried to pull away.

In a swift movement, he rolled us over and trapped me under his body, pressing me against the mattress.

"Didn't I tell you to watch your language or I will punish you, koukla mou?" He asked huskily and bit his lower lip, looking at me salaciously before traveling his gaze from my eyes to my lips.

I gulped nervously while my heart started beating faster. Meanwhile, I squeezed my legs together as I felt the tingling between them, feeling his bulge against my lower stomach.

"Alexis..." I mumbled, resting my hands on his shoulders.

"You may call me Alex." He commented huskily while there were a few inches between our lips.

I bit my lower lip nervously and murmured softly. "Alex, I..."

"Yes, koukla mou?" He asked hoarsely, closing the distance between our lips slowly. I closed my eyes reflectively.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. I instantly opened my eyes in panic. Alexis' jaw clenched and he sighed, annoyed, pulling away.

He got up and approached the door while I was lying in the same position in daze.
