Chapter 98: CHAPTER 98: A Moment Of Devotion

　　Shuddering, Alexander pulled me to him, his arms tightening around my waist until I could barely breathe.

　　"What kind of ideas?" He whispered and I pulled him into me with my legs wrapped around his waist, eyes locked on his.

　　His harsh exhalation at what I'd just implied was the air that filled my burning lungs.

　　"Then show me." He whispered in my ear and I nodded, asking him to put me down. When he did, I took his hand, reveling in the fact that let me lead him to his bedroom in utter silence. Then again, there was no need for words, not when the sexual tension in the air was thick enough to cut steel.

　　Pushing him gently to sit on the bed, I tried to take a step back but his hand grabbed my waist, rooting me in place.

　　"I thought you'd run off again when I didn't reach you last night." His voice cracked and that was when I finally realized the extent of his terror. He must have been so worried after I turned off my phone.
