Chapter 21: Travelling

Alexander's POV

I watched as Ashley's head dropped to the pillow, within minutes she was lost in her sleep. I closed my eyes, thinking about how things could have progressed into something she isn't ready for. My inner self was so ready to have her, to ravish her, to make her beg for release, to eat her whole but she wasn't ready, she doesn't have any idea about me and the things I'm capable of. I was burning, my temperature increased in ten folds just with a touch from her delicate fingers, I grew hard just hearing a moan escape her soft lips. I groaned, willing my demon to calm down, trying to eradicate images of her soft body pressed against my hard one. I walked into the bathroom, stripped all of my clothes then entered the shower, setting the water to the coldest. The temperature of the water was cold but once it cascades on my body it turns warm due to my heat, I stayed there for some few minutes before stepping out.

Ashley's fiery hair was sprawled all over the pillows, she has quite some temper, bursting out like that was quite shocking, her cheeks were red, eyes were dark, body rising and falling at a rapid rate. I chuckled at the memory. I need to do other things like attend to the pest that had the guts to send a threat to me. TO ME. I knew Vlad was stupid but I never knew the extend, I never knew he wanted death quickly and in such a horrible way. The pest sent an email, telling me about Ashley, about how someone wanted her, he even tried to place a price on her. To say I was furious would be an understatement, I was practically seeing red, I wanted blood and not just any type of blood, I wanted Vlad's blood, his and that of his entire family and still I wouldn't be satisfied.

'How dare he?! What gave him the audacity to bare thoughts of my mate in his rotten mind?!'

I went to the office, finished all of my work from the company and that of the mafia. We need new guns and explosives and also trusted men, men this days are just pussies, cowering away like rat. I raked my hands through my hair, feeling my frustration and anger building up, I need to sort the issue of Vlad and also need to go visit Berlin for an important meeting. I need to make sure Ashley's safe before leaving tomorrow, yes the earlier I settle this, the more Ashley's safe. I could just leave her with the guards and Samantha but still. Samantha has an abnormal urge for blood, all her kinds do and the guards are annoying piece of shit, just a look and they are all mesmerised. Especially the humans, the demons are easy to handle but humans have the tendency to disobey and act foolish, they act like they were created from stupidity. A message entered and I don't bother to check the name, I just opened it

Would you like to meet?

From the message I could tell who sent it, there's only one person begging me to end his life and that's Vlad. I thought for a minute, I should meet him, make his wish come true in the most terrifying ways possible.

Berlin

I smiled, I am going to enjoy ripping his eyes from their sockets.

"What the fuck?! Look at the fucking time you're calling me!!!" I growled at Dimitri's words. He knew how much I hated that word, it show disrespect to me and I wouldn't let it go if it were another soul, "Why did you call me now?!" He was really angry about something and I clearly don't care about it, "I need you here, tomorrow. 9:00am," it was silent at the other end and I knew he was still there, his heart beat was like a background sound. "Why? You never want me at your house, always nagging like a bitch about me destroying it," he said and he wasn't wrong. You can't leave Dimitri for an hour, he tends to destroy everything in his part and I pity his mate, she'll have a lot of handling to do. "I have a job for you an-"

"What job?! I'm not going to Berlin for that meeting." I hate it, I hate it. I hate when I'm been interrupted especially like the way Dimitri did just now, very rude and disrespectful. I swallowed my anger, took a deep facing the clock. It was 3:42am and I need to get to Ashley, she always notices my absence. I groan, shutting Dimitri's ranting, "Stop barking!" I growled, the line went silent but he was still there. "Come over to the house. 9:00am," I don't wait for a reply. Dimitri can be a handful sometimes but he's good, he's also a sadist, he might look gentle, happy but he is so so dark. I got to the room and once I laid down, I felt Ashley's hands touch me, I pulled her in and she buried her head in my chest, seeking warmth. Her body was always cold but not abnormal cold, even after a hot bath, she would still be cold while I am and will always be hot.

I got dressed in a black tailored suit, combed my hair, wore a gold wrist watch, a black leather shoe and I was  ready to leave. I looked at the time and it was 1:49pm, I was  supposed to leave since 9:00am but I still haven't told Ashley about my travelling. I walked out of the room heading towards the kitchen where Ashley would be, she's not an early morning person, she sleeps till 10 or 9, I could pick another presence from the kitchen. It wasn't Samantha's or any of the guards, it was my brother, Dimitri and he was teasing Ashley. I entered the kitchen but she still hasn't noticed my presence, Ashley was frowning at Dimitri and he was smirking at her. "Dimitri, let her be," he turned to me, eyeing my carefully, like I was a predator ready to devour him even though I am. Dimitri gave me a knowing smile, the one that seem to reach his head. "Meum fratris, you've found her." I just rolled my eyes at his dramatic voice, Ashley was still standing, watching Dimitri carefully and I wondered what he did or told her. "Ash," she snapped at her eyes at me, her orbs checking out my attire, her cheeks suddenly turned red when she realised she had been staring at me. "You're late to work, what happened?" She asked, her attention on my face, she didn't notice she had moved towards me, before I could answer her question, her back hand was on my forehead, checking my temperature. She frowned, clearly not knowing if I was sick or not, since my temperature was always hot, I grabbed her palms that were roaming my face, bringing them to my lips. I gave each knuckle a kiss, she looked over at Dimitri and he winked her way causing her to blush, "I'm fine, I need to tell you something," she waited for me to continue, not interrupting, unlike Dimitri, "I'm travelling. I have a meeting or rather meetings at Berlin and Dimitri would be staying with you." She didn't react, she only looked at Dimitri who was munching on her omelette, then back at me, then at him again, then me. She was confusing me with her blank stares and I was getting pissed with Dimitri for no just reason, probably because she was also staring at him, she cleared her throat before settling her green eyes on me, "So you're leaving now?" The nervousness didn't go unnoticed by me, the slight shaky and worried voice were so vivid, her brows were jointed, confirming her stress. I gave a nod to her question and she deflated, like a balloon, making me hold her tight, she responded instantly, taking a deep breath, holding my blazer tight. We stood like that for a few minutes, not letting go but Dimitri just had to interfere with his cough. Ashley gently pulled away, taking her cold temperature with her, she looked at me with a small smile on her lips, "How long would you be gone for?" She asked, playing with her ring, "A week or four days," her eyes were wide, "A week?" she whispered, trying to comprehend what I said, I nod again. Ashley sighed, shoulders slacked, clearly defeated.

I left Ashley with Dimitri after giving warnings about her and her health and her bad habits, he simply waved them off like they meant nothing. I couldn't leave Ashley without giving her a reassuring kiss, a long passionate kiss, a kiss to comfort her. I unfortunately had to pull away before I lost control, her eyes were bright, no longer stressed. I made my way to the car, I was driving myself, I rolled down the window and Ashley waved at me with a sicken sweet smile. Dimitri stood beside her, towering over her, he bent close to her ears, whispering something that had her giggling.

It's been 5 long days, 5 annoying days. Vlad still hadn't pick a date for his death sentence and I'm losing my patience. The meeting was successful, the Hernandez company financed the flying bricks industry, they have a new project with the government and some high classed citizens and their funds weren't or rather aren't capable of holding both the projects and that's where I come in. It took them 3 freaking days to pick an amount and a lot of convincing, the daughter of Mr walker was such a distraction to them. Iris Walker, a 20year old kept talking, saying important things, she was just supposed to watch how meetings go but she couldn't kept her mouth and cursed legs shut. They settled for 38million dollars, I don't care how they going to pay back, Mr walker is greedy, that amount is just huge for those simple projects but like I said, I don't give two flying fucks about them and their work, all I care about is just Ashley.

Dimitri has been going a good job with her, taking her to the mall, and to festivals but she's happy that's all that matter. Whenever I called her voice was always cheerful, during video calls, she's always giggling, she made a new friend and I'm warily about who this person is. It better not be a guy, cause I'd hate to make Ashley sad with his bedridden news and if it's a girl, I really hope she's human and descent.

Chime! Chime!!

I walked out of the shower, hearing my laptop, I just went to get dressed, not checking who texted. It could have been Axel or Kaddy or probably Ashley since she always wish me a goodnight.

Fortnight chambers. 10:00pm

An evil smile designed my face. He's finally ready for his death sentence.

Such a benefiting space.
