Hero

Daniella's POV

We returned to our Presidential Suite on the top floor of The Venetian, with Lucas's enthusiastic voice filling the air as he showered Alpha with praise.

"You were incredible, Alpha! Seriously, climbing onto that ledge like it was nothing to save Siau Yin? I was trembling just watching you! Maybe you were a rock climber in your past life!" Lucas teased, his eyes wide with admiration.

Alpha tilted his head thoughtfully. "Maybe."

Eric, always quick with a quip, chimed in, "Nah, I bet you were a firefighter."

Alpha nodded, a small smile tugging at his lips. "Could be."

I interrupted their speculation with a wave of my hand. "Alright, alright, let's stop guessing Alpha's past professions. For me, what matters most is that he doesn't have a girlfriend, a fiancée, or a wife."

Alpha turned to me, his expression softening. He reached out, taking my hand in his. "I hope I don't have any of those either because spending this past week with you has made me fall completely in love."

My heart squeezed at his words, but I forced a wry smile. "And after what you did earlier, you've made it even harder for me to pretend this is just a 'casual' relationship, as Lucas suggested."

Lucas, ever the realist, lightly patted my shoulder. "Come on, Daniella. Don't overthink it. Just enjoy this trip. If it turns out Alpha has some secret wife or something, we'll deal with it then. For now, relax. Have fun."

He turned to Alpha and gave him an approving nod. "Thanks, man, for making sure Daniella's one step closer to Alex Wong. I'm pretty sure your heroic act will land us at his main table tonight. This is huge for our firm."

With that, we parted ways, heading to our separate rooms.

I planned to take a quick shower, change into a comfy t-shirt, and nap for a while before the evening's dinner party. Grabbing a fresh set of clothes, I made my way to the bathroom.

Inside, I turned on the hot water and watched the steam rise as I filled the bathtub. A warm soak was exactly what I needed to ease the tension of the day. As I sank into the water, my body relaxed, the heat melting away the lingering anxiety. Closing my eyes, I let my mind drift and, at some point, must have dozed off.

I didn't hear the soft creak of the bathroom door opening or the quiet footsteps approaching.

When I finally stirred, I blinked up to find Alpha sitting on the edge of the tub, his intense green eyes gazing at me.

"Alpha," I breathed, my voice barely above a whisper.

My breath hitched at the sight of him, his emerald eyes piercing through the haze of steam, locking with mine. He didn't say anything at first, just sat there on the edge of the tub, his gaze soft yet filled with something that made my pulse race.

"Alpha," I whispered, barely able to find my voice. "What are you doing here?"

His lips curved into a small, almost hesitant smile. "I couldn't stay away. After what I said earlier... I needed to see you. To make sure you understood how much I meant it."

The warmth of the water around me suddenly felt insignificant compared to the heat in his eyes.

"Alpha, this is... I mean..." My words trailed off as he reached out, his fingers brushing a damp strand of hair from my cheek. The simple touch sent a shiver down my spine, and I felt my cheeks flush deeper than they already were from the bath.

"Tell me to leave," he said softly, his voice low, almost vulnerable. "If this is too much... if you need me to go... just say the word."

I should have told him to go. Should have created some distance, reminded myself of the boundaries we were supposed to have. But I couldn't. Not when he was looking at me like that, like I was the only person in the world that mattered.

"I don't want you to leave," I admitted, my voice trembling.

His smile deepened, and he leaned closer, his hand still resting lightly against my cheek. I could feel the warmth of him, so close, the scent of his cologne mixing with the lavender steam from the bathwater.

"You terrify me, Daniella," he murmured.

I blinked in surprise. "Me? Why?"

"Because I can't seem to stop wanting you. No matter how much I tell myself I should keep my distance, you pull me in. And the worst part?" He paused, his thumb tracing small circles on my cheek. "I don't think I even want to resist anymore."

My heart was racing now, a wild, uncontrollable rhythm that matched the raw emotion in his voice. Slowly, I reached up, my fingers brushing against his hand. "Then don't resist," I whispered.

He didn't hesitate. In one fluid motion, he leaned down, his lips capturing mine in a kiss that was both gentle and electrifying. The world melted away. there was no bathtub, no Vegas, no contracts, just Alpha and me, lost in the moment.

His hand slid from my cheek to the back of my neck, pulling me closer as the kiss deepened. My own hands found their way to his chest, clutching at the soft fabric of his shirt, feeling the steady thrum of his heartbeat beneath my fingertips.

When he finally pulled back, just enough to rest his forehead against mine, we were both breathing hard. He pulled down his trousers and oh my god. He was huge… He entered the bathtub and stand in front of me "I want you, Daniella," he said, his voice low and filled with emotion. "I don't care about my memories anymore. Let me stay like this, just Alpha, without a past. All I want is to build my future with you. Can I?"

I swallowed hard, my heart pounding as I nodded, my eyes helplessly drawn to his perfectly sculpted body, his six pack and sharp V-line making it impossible to look away.

He leaned down to me and kiss me again. And naturally , I spread my legs wider so he could have better acces. Wetting his fingers he plunged two fingers inside me, that moves making me gasp at the waves of emotions following through me. He went gently at first , pulling out just as he grazed my spot.

 " I want you." I moaned my heartbeat increasing in tempo

" You want this?" He asked me playing his huge cock infront of me and I nodded.

"Okay.. your wish is my command, Honey... " He muttered, putting his thick, ten-inch cock, fully engorged and squirting precum. I swallowed like it was the first time I have sex. Putting his hands under my thighs, he raised them up, successfully impaling me in his cock, filling me to the brim.

It was the best feeling.

He pulled in slowly and gently watching his cock went in and out,

" Oh.. this is so great….. Alpha.."

" Oh.. Daniella you are so tight" and then he slammed in with force, he started pounding harshly.

Slapping sounds and grunts in the air fueled my ecstasy as we both neared our release and when it comes , we both screamed to the heavens.

We clung to each other, our breaths mingling as we tried to steady the wild rhythm of our hearts. In that small, intimate bathtub, something far deeper than passion had unfolded, it felt like our souls had intertwined, creating a memory I knew I would carry forever. Alpha wasn't the first man I'd shared such intimacy with, but with him, it was so much more than physical. Every touch, every glance, was electric, filled with a depth I had never experienced before. In his arms, I found a completeness that left me trembling not just with desire but with the realization that I was utterly, hopelessly in love with him.

But even as my heart swelled, a fragile question stirred within me. Could he possibly feel the same way? Or was this moment only mine to hold on to?
