Chapter 20: You're Mine

Ashley's POV

I turned, feeling a tight knot forming, making me aware of my bladder trying to explode. I groaned, I don't want to leave the bed but if I don't the consequences would be great. I sluggishly opened my eyes, pushing the blanket off me. I tried standing but there was another heaviness on me, 'What the fuck?!' I looked down only to find a huge strong arm damped over me, 'How the...?'  I frowned immediately. Yeah I totally forgot, well I'm now officially sleeping in Alexander's room, and well I'm not hating it neither am I like this. 'Lies!!'

I tried pushing his arm but it was just too heavy, like what does he eat?! I kept pushing, turning to slide out of his grip but no, he had such a tight hold on me even though he's asleep. 'I give up'  "Xander?" I know, I'm powerless. He didn't budge, not even a movement, "Alexander?" I called louder and he responded by pulling me extremely close. His hot minty breath were hitting my neck and goosebumps rose all over me. I stared at him, wondering if he's doing this shit intentional but he eyes were closed, his blue eyes enclosed in his eye lads, his hair was disheveled, making all his sexiness times 10, I couldn't resist the urge to run my hands through his hair and before my conscience could give me reasons why I shouldn't, I found myself propping myself with my elbow. Looking at him from this view, made my insides flutter, I leaned in, staring at his sleeping form, my hands were already hovering over his hair and I took a deep breath before proceeding.

'So soft!'  His hair felt like feathers on my hands, there wasn't a single tangled hair, it felt like my hands were passing through water, no obstacle, no restrictions, no barrier. I kept my ministry going but I got distracted. I looked over at his lips and I zoned out, his lips were so fucking soft on mine and I relished it, the way he grabbed my thigh set me on fire and I just couldn't hold it in. His lips were so pink, so full and very very demanding, I could feel a blush rising to my cheeks. All of a sudden, I'm being pushed down by strong arms. I gasped as I fell flat on Alexander's chest, I looked up and my eyes were met with his and a casual smirk playing on his mind numbing lips. I placed my hands on his shoulders then pushed back but his hold on my waist only tighten, I puffed air then glared at him but his brain wasn't functioning to see that I didn't like this, because the next moment, he pulled my close to his face, No, close to his lips and breathing became a hard thing to do. A soft laugh escaped his lips making my eyes snap back to his. "Breathe Ashley, we don't want you dying now" he said and I gulped heavily. I don't know if it's me or him, cause his icy blue eyes seemed to darken and his stare intensified but it was uncomfortable, in fact I loved it. The look in his eyes were so drawling and I found myself gawking shamelessly at him. He closed his eyes before whispering, "Futue hoc(Fuck this)" and his flipped us, making me squeal in surprise but his lips swallow whatever comment I wanted to say.

His lips were going at a slow pace but it was still enough to make me mad, his hands were slowly running up my exposed rib cage and it was setting fire behind its trail, my mind and body were no longer mine and I kissed him back. He nibbled, sucked and bit my lips, forcing involuntarily sounds and moans from my mouth, I was at his mercy, at this moment I could do anything he asked of me. I grabbed his hair, messing it more and he let out a manly groan which had me want more, before the kiss could progress any further he pulled my lips in between his teeth before pulling away. I was panting for air, staring at him still in a daze, our foreheads were touching and I just wanted the time to pause, to give me a moment to relish this moment and feeling all together.

By the time I was done with my daily morning routine, Alexander wasn't in the room. I flipped my phone open and the time was 11:57am. I was dressed in a violet jumpsuit and my casual canvas. I headed downstairs, wondering what Samantha was making for breakfast. My eyes almost bulged out from its sockets, inside the kitchen stood a shirtless Xander making waffles. His back was turned to me and every slight movement he made, his muscles would flex and I stood there, like a deer caught in head lights, gawking at him. "Why are you standing there?" He asked and I cleared my throat awkwardly, he had a devious smirk playing on his lips and I could feel my cheeks burning with embarrassment. He always has a way to make me feel... Strange, he brings out everything in me, including the ones I had no idea existed. I walked up to the stool before taking a seat and he does the same after setting the food in front of me. We have a dinning table but we don't use it, there are just two of us, so there's no need and I love sitting close to him. I took the honey jar and began to pour on my waffles. Xander suddenly grabs it from me then glared at me, "That's enough. Careful what you put in your mouth," I stared at him for some seconds before frowning. "Alexander, can I have my honey back," he didn't even grace me with a glance. Like really?! Ever since that visit to the doctor, he's always making sure I don't eat too much sugary things,  I don't go out without a hoodie, he treats me like I'm a kid and it's annoying! I pull his plate closer to me while he stares at me with confusion. "I want my honey back," I said and he sighs, he tends to sigh a lot. "Ash, just eat. The honey on your waffles is a enough," he said but I still feel like bugging him. I started eating but didn't give him his plate, his eyes narrowed at me and I suppress the urge to laugh.

He stared at me but I wasn't bothered, he's not getting this back. He stood up and I stared at him wide eyes, 'He's not mad, is he?'  I quickly pushed his plate back and he sat down immediately with a laugh. He tricked me! I made a few mumbles and he laugh only intensified. I've never heard him laugh and his laugh was so loud and rich, it made my heart and head feel light. I think I am falling for him, if not fallen.

I'm sitting in the living room watching a movie but my mind is totally on something else or rather someone. I looked at the diamond ring on my index finger, he gave it to me and I've been wearing it ever since. It had a blood red diamond on it and it was so shiny that it catch anyone's attention. Alexander has been working endlessly, he's not around, he's always in his office or at the company. A tired sigh escaped my lips, I looked at my shoes then smiled. I took the left side of the house since I know what's at the right side. This side had more guards but they weren't paying attention to me, I kept walking till I got to a pool, yeah people a swimming pool. It was so big and blue, it had rails to hold, some seats, and even a bar. I don't know if I can swim and I don't intend to find out now, I walked closer to it, the sun was making the water shine or something but the blue colour was odd and beautiful, I've never seen anything pool as blue as this, though I've never seen a pool or don't remember seeing one. I pulled off my shoes, then put my toes in first just to check the temperature, 'I don't want Xander to complain' 

I don't know how long I've been sitting close to the pool, swinging my legs back and forth, I heard footsteps approaching me but I don't turn, I don't need to turn it's probably just one of those stoic men. I closed my eyes, letting the water soak into my bones, "There you are!" I heard someone say and I jerked forward like the clumsily old fool that I am,

Splash!!!

Yeah you all guessed right!! I'm in the pool, pushing myself up but still it seems my legs were bonded together, making swimming had for me... Wait a sec, can I even swim?! I'm drowning. Drowning ladies and gentlemen! I was suddenly yanked up with too much and I felt my shoulder crack. "Faex!!!! What's my problem?" I heard someone say, it sounded familiar but my head is currently spinning. "Lady Ashley?! Faex!" I coughed out the water in my system, heaving up like I'd just ran a race of my life. I laid there, staring at the sky, thinking about how I've been s lifeless human right now. "Ashley? Are you alright?" I turned looking at who scared the living hell out of me, Axel was soaked from head to toe, his hair were sticking to his face. I gave a nod then made to stand up, Axel quickly stood up grabbing my arm, aiding me up. I was completely drenched, my jumpsuit were like a second skin on me, exposing my white bra and panty, and hell! I was so cold. "Let's get you inside," I just followed, I wanted to get out of this freezing breeze, my bun was all loose covering my face, making it hard for me to see, I kept brushing them aside but they were just too curly to move away.

"You have a wonderful colour of hair," Axel complimented,

I don't like them

"I don't like them,"

I turned around, checking for who said what I just said but then realised it was also my voice. 'That's weird'  Axel went on about how beautiful and natural my hair is and how my eyes were like rare gems and I kept blushing over and over again. 'Maybe Axel isn't as stoic as I thought he was.'  We got to the house in no time but Axel didn't come in, he said he had some things to do and that he just wanted to inform me about Alexander. "Samantha? Where's Xander?" I asked, since I haven't seen him. "Dominus went upstairs," she replied, before going back to whatever she was doing. I went upstairs to our bed room but Alexander wasn't there, I got dressed, changed my cloth, combed my freaking curly hair with too much force which resulted to an aching scalp. I wore a black hoodie and leggings with my flops then headed to the only place Xander could possibly be.

'What's wrong with him? He's just sitting down there, typing away, writing down things, making calls and speaking in tongues. I had no idea he could speak another language!'

I have been in this room, this office, Xander's office and he hasn't graced me with a glance nor a word. He's been quiet, doing his work and it's not only confusing but annoying to me. I prefer him been cocky and all but his silent treatment is just suffocating, yes we did talk but it only lasted for 3minutes, just 3 fucking minutes. "Are you okay?" I decided to ask, I know he loves his quietness but this isn't quiet. This is choking, it's nerve consuming and it's killing. He rose his head from the computer in front of him, arch a perfect brow, tilted his head before answering, "Yes," that was that. His voice was a give away though, he was mad at me but what's my offense? I racked my brain, searching for any wrong move I play but found none. "Are you mad at me?" He didn't answer. 'Fine, if he doesn't want to talk, I won't force him to. He can be mad for all the world care!'  I marched out of his office, he didn't call me back and I'm not bothered, 'liar,'

He didn't call me back! He didn't check up on me and I did just the same. I know this is so stupid, fighting over something I don't know but it's his fault. He doesn't tell me a thing, he doesn't share anything that bothers him, he's so mysterious, so dark and I love that but still. I feel a connection towards him, a strong pull, everything about him is so attracting to me. Yeah I'm in love and I don't know if he feels the same about me, if he feels this pull towards me, if I'm the only one falling in this endless well. I'm in the room, playing some sort of game and I'm failing miserably, my mind isn't my own, it's filled with thoughts of just one person, just one fucking person, Alexander. The door opens, revealing the man plaguing my mind and emotions. Alexander just ignored me, he ignored me and I bit my lips to stop whatever salty water to flow from my eyes, he went into the bathroom while I continued with my game.

Putting my phone down, I went to the closet to get my night wear. I chose a matching crop top and shorts. Just as I walked out, my eyes found Xander wrapped in a towel, hanging dangerously low, revealing his v line, rigged abs and a tattoo. I gulped audibly, this isn't helping out one bit, I'm trying to murder my emotions for this man and he's here igniting wild thoughts in my head. He looked up from his phone and my eyes met his, he rose a brow at me questioningly then I realised I've been gawking at him like a monkey. I race to the bathroom, slamming the door behind me. 'Take a deep breath Ash, just breathe. Put your fucking self together! Breathe'  I stared at myself in the mirror and my face was on fire. My neck and cheeks were so red, almost the same colour as my hair. My body was hot and I decided to use warm water to bath. I got dressed in my red nightwear before stepping out.

Xander wore a black sweater pants but no shirt. 'He's trying to kill me!'  He's always shirtless but still, he looks like a model, his abs were tormenting me, they were driving me crazy, I balled my hands, it's been itching to touch him, to run over his chest and abs, everywhere. He still hasn't looked at him.

'Fuck this! I'm asking him'

"Why are you mad at me?" I asked standing in front of him. He's sitting while I'm standing but still his head is at my abdomen. 'Am I that short?'  He looked up but still didn't say a thing, and my anger is on a thin thread. I pushed his head and he snapped his eyes towards mine. He held a glare but that doesn't scary me, in fact I glared back, and he dropped his phone. "What do you want?" He inquired, "I want to know why you are mad at me, what did I do?" He sighed before pushing his ass up the bed to sleep. To freaking sleep! I grabbed the blanket from him, throwing it aside before I burst.

"What the fuck is your problem? Why are you being so annoying? Ahh! You ignored me throughout today and you fucking think it's cool and now you're taking your fucking ass to bed! Like what the fuck is wrong with you?!" I yelled at him and before I could say another thing, he was right in front of me. I stumbled back almost falling but he held me, he glared hard and I flinched at the gravity it held. "Don't ever use the fuck word on me, I hate it," his words were calm but poisonous, "You reek of inferiority, you smell like Axel, like a fucking inferiore daemon(Lower demon)" 'is that it? Is that why he's mad? It isn't my fault I smell like Axel and how do you smell like someone?' 

"It's not fault I smell like Axel for heaven's sake!" As soon as those words escaped my lips his eyes seemed to glow but it vanished, he took a predatory step towards me and I back away but his hand grabbed my arm, it was firm and gentle, something only Xander can do. "I don't want my mate smelling like another man, I don't like my things smelling like filth," before I could say a word, he continued, "I'll get this horrid stench off you." He claimed. I was swept off my feet and a surprised squeal left my lips.

Xander dumped me on the bed then got on, hovering above me, staring at me like I was a meal. My chest rose and fell at a rapid rate, I was scared, in fact it was the opposite, I was excited, nervous, and mostly shy, his gaze were so loving, adoring and intense. Xander buried his head in my neck, inhaling deeply before a low growl vibrated through him. "I don't like this smell on you, it doesn't suit you," I don't know if it were my ears or something but his voice turned deeper, it was huskier and more sexy. I released a shaky breath, trying to balance my heart rate and he chuckled. "Relax, I haven't done anything... Yet," he whispered coyly in my ears, making a shudder rake through my body. I looked at him but his face wasn't visible, only his hair were on display. I kept taking breaths till I was able to calm my racing heart even though it's by 2%

Xander still left his face in between my head and shoulder and I'm wondering if he's asleep. Suddenly I felt his teeth graze me and I stiffened, my body was clearly burning, the sensation I felt was unimaginable, and I wanted Xander to continue whatever it was he was doing. I felt him place kisses all over my shoulder before he moved to my neck, he kissed a spot that made me gasp. I felt his lips curl up then he spoke, "Found you," I didn't have the time to ask what he found because he attacked that particular spot, never for once missing. My hands were balled and I kept squirming under him, arching my back, moaning like there was no end, he abruptly left my neck then came for my lips and I didn't resist him. His hands were moving all over my body, leaving a trail of burning sensation pooling between my thighs, I tried to close them but Xander's large hand only parted them more. His glorious mouth travel to the swells of my breast and he was so merciless, his actions were like that of a starved animal, he kissed every part of my body like I was his last meal and I responded with actions unknown to me. My hands were roaming, touching every part of him, seeking him and he grunt in reply, making whatever pressure between my legs intensify, his tongue licked my bottom lip but I didn't understand what he was doing. Xander hands squeezed my ass and I gasped in surprise and his tongue invaded my mouth. If I thought his kisses were mind blowing then I think this is heaven, the way his tongue were exploring every nook and corner had my toes curling, he tasted so sweet, so minty and I wanted every bit of him.

I felt something poking me, it was hard... Very hard but I ignored, my body was ablaze and if I don't stop this, I'll burn but I don't want to stop, I never want to stop. I accidentally rubbed against this hard thing and Xander released a strained groan like he was in pain and I got worried, he gave my lips one last suck and bite before letting go. He was staring at me and I could only do the same, his blue eyes were so dark and deep and they seemed to be glowing, he gave my head one last long kiss before he stood up and a gasp left my lips.

He was... He was... Hard. And not any type of hard, solid hard, strong hard, attention seeking hard. My eyes were wide, they were bulging out because of the massive swell in his pants. How is he going to fit in m- 'No! Get those nasty thoughts out of your little head!'  I was still having an argument with myself about the swell his pants when all of a sudden I felt sleepy, 'Like hell?!'  I didn't do anything stressful so why am I sleepy? This isn't suppose to be happening, I shouldn't be sleep! But my head is dropping to the pillows. Why now? Why when something interesting is happening?

Fuck you sleep
