"Babe, guess what." Alexander chimed as he entered the bedroom.
I quickly finished applying my mascara, turning around to face Alexander, who was beaming a grand smile on his face.
"What's up?" I questioned with anticipation in my tone of voice.
"Remember when I got a call last night." Alexander started off.
Recalling the events of last night, I nodded my head waiting for Alexander to carry on.
"Well, it was Jason, him and Rose are moving back to the UK, permanently." Alexander gushed, as he wrapped his arm around my waist, spinning me around.
"Really? That's amazing, I bet you're happy about that." I replied feeling ecstatic from the pure excitement and happiness gushing from Alexander.
It was refreshing to see Alexander chime with excitement. Jason was his best mate in school; starting from primary school, all the way to college. Even though they parted ways; with Jason attending university in New York, and Alexander taking over his father's company at eighteen. They still managed to stay in touch.
Finding out that he was now moving back to the UK, with his wife, Rose, it was great news that we needed to hear.
"He just text me, him and Rose are flying in tonight, I made plans for us to have dinner with them when they are settled." Alexander said still beaming with excitement. He moved his arms around my shoulders, pulling me in for a hug.
The strong hold around me, enabled me to mould within his chest. I took in his scent, which felt like my body had been sent to the clouds to float away.
"Perfect. I can't wait to meet them." I replied with my eyes closed, as I felt every aspect of Alexander's hold on me.
Much to my disappointment, the hug was cut short. Cupping my face so elegantly with his hands, he placed his supple lips on my forehead, gifting a kiss. As he peered close to my eyes, he scrunched his nose. I then instantly understand that we had to cut the sweet moment short, as we had to make our way to the office.
***
Hand in hand, we entered the office, we both said morning to Lily and entered our own office. With me slightly in front, I set my handbag on the table. Behind me I heard Alexander close the door.
As I turned around, I immediately met with Alexander's chest, he was closer to me than I thought.
My eyes automatically connected to his. His brown swirls were inviting me to close the gap between us. He delicately moved my caramel locks behind my ears, the soft touch of his fingertips felt like a feather dancing on my skin.
His other hand snaked around my lower back, jerking me to inch closer to him.
"Alexander, what are you doing? Lily can come in any moment." I whispered, slurring my words at the end, as Alexander was sending my brain to oblivion.
Alexander lowered his head, with his mouth close to my ears. His heavy breathing scorched the inside of my ears. Shockwaves erupted within me, feeling tingles and shivers that ran down me like a wave.
"That's why we have a lock on the inside." He whispered in a low and seductive tone. The deep tone to his voice, made me melt like an ice lolly, my legs suddenly felt like they were going to give way.
"You know." Alexander said alluring me with his voice. "We haven't done it in the office."
I gasped at the naughtiness coming out of his words. I couldn't help but let out a shy chuckle. I playfully tugged on his suit.
"Alexander!" I exclaimed. As he moved his face away from my ears, he met my lips with a small kiss.
But before I could say anything else, his lips dangerously attacked mine. My hands found its way around his neck, where I was able to hold him for support. I needed the support as my legs felt like liquid from the intense heat running inside me.
His supple lips danced and moulded into mine. It was like his lips were always meant to be connected to mine. Alexander's hand landed on my hips, and that's when I felt a rush of excitement surge through me as he lifted me up from the ground.
My legs were instantly wrapped around him. He kept me hoisted up with a firm hold on my bum. My body was trembling, different intensities and feels shot through me like fireworks.
I then found myself settled on the edge of the desk. Where my bag fell to the ground, as if an earthquake shook the table of its contents.
This was it. We were actually doing it, in the office. If I was told years ago that that this is what I would be doing in an office, I would have been disgusted and ashamed. In this very moment, I couldn't think of anything so hot and steamy. Doing it in the office, with my sexy as hell fiancé, made me feel intoxicated and giddy at the pure rush, excitement and thrill of it all.
Just as my head arched back, and Alexander's lips found its way on to my neck. The sound of a dull ring ruptured from my bag. At first, we chose to ignore it, Alexander continued to devour my neck as if it was something he was yearning for all his life. But the continuous ring, was not going away.
I let out a frustrated groan, Alexander knew the phone was not going to stop ringing. He slowed down the pace of his mouth, until he hesitantly moved away. His ragged breath enabled his chest to heave in and out. Both to our disappointment, I took myself off the desk, pulled my risen skirt down and picked up my bag to retrieve the barking phone.
"To be continued." Alexander teased, shooting me a seductive wink. Heat rose to the edge of my skin, at the sexiness and captivating look Alexander sent my way.
Once I was able to take my eyes away from him, I focused on my phone that still continued to ring like there was no tomorrow.
When I saw the caller ID, my heart instantly dropped to the pit of my stomach. The enticing high I was on with Alexander, was drained from me. The hairs on the back of my neck shot up like a rocket. A heavy feeling was welcomed in my throat, it felt like I was going to hurl up any second.
Rebecca was calling me. There was only one reason why she was calling me, that was to start the plan of action to take down Charles.
I didn't let the worry overtake me. Taking in a sharp breath in and exhaling out, I answered the phone.
"Hey Rebecca." I said in a strained voice. The tone of her voice was serious, I knew whatever she was going to say meant business.
After about five minutes on the phone, humming at all the points she said, I hung up and let out an elongated sigh; as if I was keeping my breath in, scared to breath like a normal person.
Alexander got up from his seat, getting closer to the back of me. Once again, his arms wrapped in front of me, my back was now flushed against his chest.
The strained tension that was hooking me like a fish, was now evaporated from the warmth of Alexander's touch.
"What did she say?" Alexander asked in an almost worried tone, with his face buried in my neck.
"She wants me to come over, so we can get started on my witness statement." I mumbled.
As much as I didn't want to leave from Alexander's warmth, I had to. With all my strength, I seeped out from his arms.
"I should get going." I sighed, picking up my handbag.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Alexander asked holding both of my hands in his.
Wrapping my hand around his neck, I pulled myself forward connecting our foreheads.
"No baby, it's okay, you've got a full day of meetings. I'll be fine." I said in a low tone, with that said, I pecked Alexander with a small kiss on his lips.
As I backed away to leave the office, my arm was softly pulled and I was jerked back to Alexander, when his lips connected to mine like a magnet.
His lips brushed mine so softly like butterfly wings, it was just the right time for me to inhale the heat from his mouth.
"I love you." He consoled, nuzzling his nose to mine.
"I love you too." I replied in a soothing tone.
I then stepped out of the office, making my way over to go through the events that has enabled me to have nightmares. Although I wanted to push all of this out, I knew it was something that had to be done.
I had to go through each and every feeling I got from Charles. The way he disgusted me, and how uncomfortable he made me feel. I also had to go through the ordeal of him and his wife, who the police have not managed to find, capturing me and keeping me in a dingy room like a caged animal.
I was lucky enough to be saved in an instant by Alexander. Shudders and shivers ran down me at the thought of Alexander not saving me.
Although I had the worry hang over me like a dark cloud, I was determined. I had hope that with the help of Rebecca, I could be the one to take Charles down.
