Playing with Fire

Chapter 46 - The daredevil princess

Charlotte's POV

"Sweet dreams." I pouted.

The following morning, I woke up early and called Alexis, waking him up. It was 7 a.m.

"Hmm?" He mumbled sleepily without opening his eyes.

"Alex! Get up!" I exclaimed, tapping on his arm.

"Give me five minutes." He mumbled and buried his head into the pillow.

"Alex, wake up!" I frowned, annoyed, tapping his arm again and again.

"What do you want?" He asked angrily as he finally opened his eyes.

"I am hungry." I gave him an innocent look. "I would make myself breakfast, but you ordered me to not to leave the bed."

He closed his eyes, breathing deeply. "Fine. What do you want to eat?" He asked, irritated and threw the cover away before getting up.

"Hmm." I rubbed my chin, thinking. "Omelette... pancakes.... Fresh orange juice... coffee." I flashed him a smile.

"Fine. I will make you breakfast." He mumbled and walked towards the door, yawning.

"Alex?"

He clenched his fist and turned towards me. "What?" He asked between gritted teeth.

"Could you put another pillow behind my back, please? It is uncomfortable." I replied innocently.

He heaved a loud sigh and approached me, grabbing a spare pillow.

"Any other request?" He asked angrily after putting the pillow behind my back.

"None. You may leave."

He clenched his fist and opened and closed his mouth without saying anything. Then he stormed out. I burst out laughing as soon as he closed the door behind him.

After a while, he came back, holding a tray in his hands. He approached me and placed the tray on the bed.

"Where is my bacon?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows.

"You didn't tell me you wanted bacon as well."

"I told you. You forget. I want bacon too." I lied.

He took a deep breath, closing his eyes. "I know what you are trying to do, but you are playing with fire. Be careful." He warned me, giving me a knowing look.

"What? I am not doing anything." I gave him an innocent look.

He raised his eyebrow, unconvinced and placed his hand into his pocket.

I grinned, amused and shrugged my shoulders. "You are not always served by your boss and co-partner. So I decided to enjoy this opportunity." I commented nonchalantly and winked at him.

Alex rolled his eyes. "Don't get used to it. It can have some side effects." He gave me a devilish look. "Moreover, I can make you pay for it. So be careful, koukla mou. I can be cruel when I want to be. And I can make you beg me easily." He added huskily, giving me a salacious look, and roamed my body from head to toe, running his tongue over his lower lip.

I cleared my throat and ruffled my hair nervously as I understood what he meant. "Umm...Actually, I don't want bacon so much. These foods are enough. Thanks." I mumbled and took a piece from my omelette.

He chuckled, amused. "Bon appétit, koukla mou."

"Thank you. Would you like some?" I asked, pointing to the tray.

"No, for breakfast I prefer something else." He replied seductively and bit his lower lip provocatively, undressing me with his eyes.

I gulped nervously, staring at him. He chuckled and went to the bathroom.
