Kate's smile faded a bit. "I'm sorry, Alexander. There isn't any other path. That road is the only way to get in and out of Averill Park."Alexander sighed, feeling disappointed. He had been hoping for a solution, but it seemed like there was none. However, Kate's warm smile and welcoming demeanor helped to lift his spirits."Dinner's ready, so come inside and join us," Kate said, gesturing towards the delicious smells wafting from the kitchen.Alexander smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Kate. That sounds wonderful."Alexander smiled gratefully as he stepped into the cozy living room. "Thank you, Kate. That sounds wonderful," he said, appreciatively.Kate held the door open for him as he walked in, taking a quick scan of the room. Sebastian raised his head from the meal he had just started eating and looked at his father in surprise. "Wow, Dad, what happened? Didn't you go back to the city?" Sebastian asked, curiously."I couldn't," Alexander replied, taking a step towards the dining tabl
"Sure," Kate replied, walking into her room. She rummaged through her closet and found an oversized pair of trousers and a T-shirt that belonged to her late father. She had kept the clothes for years, unable to bring herself to get rid of them."Here," Kate said, handing the clothes to Alexander."Thanks," Alexander replied, standing up from the dining chair. He immediately pulled off his sweatshirt in front of Kate, revealing his broad, smooth chest.Kate's eyes widened in surprise as she stammered, "Wha... wha... what... is...?" before quickly running into her room, feeling embarrassed.Alexander smiled to himself as he watched Kate runoff. "So cute," he chuckled under his breath. Kate closed the door to her room and leaned against it, feeling her heart racing with conflicting emotions. She couldn't believe she had just seen Alexander's chest again after ten long years. Her mind wandered back to the last time they had been intimate, a hot and romantic night with slow music playing i
Alexander was lost in the moment, his emotions taking control as he surveyed every inch of Kate's body. He couldn't resist the overwhelming desire he felt for her, and he knew he had to have her. As he leaned in closer, Kate's heart raced with anticipation, and she knew that this moment would change everything.Alexander's desire for Kate was overpowering, and he leaned in closer to her, his lips itching to meet hers. Kate's heart was racing with anticipation, and she could feel the tension between them building with each passing moment. As Alexander reached out for the pillow behind her, Kate's hands clenched tightly on the bedsheet, her eyes locked onto his.But just as their lips were about to meet, Alexander abruptly pulled away and sat up on the bed holding the pillow in his hands, leaving Kate feeling shocked and disappointed. She let out a deep breath and lay back, looking up at the ceiling, feeling embarrassed and confused. Alexander noticed the change in Kate's demeanor, he c
Lost in thought, Alexander turned to look at Kate, who was sleeping peacefully on the other side of the bed. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt as he watched her, knowing that he had a lot to make up for. He knew that it wouldn't be easy to regain her trust, but he was willing to try.As he closed his eyes, Alexander made a silent vow to himself that he would do whatever it takes to make things right with Kate. Kate woke up early the next morning, feeling a deep yearning in her body. She stretched and let out a contented sigh before turning to look at Alexander sleeping soundly beside her. As she gazed at him, she couldn't help but admire his rugged good looks, tousled hair, and strong arms adorned with manly beads. Kate's heart swelled with affection as she looked at Alexander. As Kate's gaze lingered lovingly on Alexander, her heart swelled with affection. She couldn't help but feel grateful for having him here with her. After basking in the warmth of her emotions for a fe
He flinched at her touch, his eyes wide with shock "I'm sorry," he muttered. "I didn't mean to scare you."As Kate lay beneath Alexander, she could sense the turmoil that he was struggling with. She could see the pain etched in his eyes, and her heart went out to him. Without hesitation, she reached out and touched his face, her fingers tracing the contours of his cheek.As her hand made contact with Alexander's skin, she could feel the warmth of his body, and it sent a wave of comfort through her. She knew that he needed her at that moment, and she was determined to be there for him.As she lay there, her body pressed up against his, she could feel the rapid beating of his heart. It was as if his emotions were so strong that they were pulsing through his body. She wanted to take away his pain, to make everything right for him, but she knew that it wasn't that simple.As Kate's hand touched Alexander's face, his body trembled with emotion. He could feel the warmth of her touch, and it
Alexander and Kate chuckled at Sebastian's statement, feeling a sense of relief that the tension had been broken. They both knew that Sebastian had been through a lot not having his both parents together as he grew, and they didn't want to make things any more difficult for him."Sorry about that, buddy," Alexander said, ruffling Sebastian's hair affectionately. "We didn't mean to keep you waiting."Sebastian smiled, feeling a sense of warmth at his Dad's gesture. For the first time in a long time, he felt like his family was coming back together, and it gave him hope for the future. Kate rose from the bed and flashed an awkward smile at Sebastian who returned the gesture. She made her way to the kitchen and retrieved the prepared meal, consisting of fluffy pancakes and crispy bacon. As Alexander and Sebastian took their seats at the dining table, Kate served them a delicious meal. They ate in silence for a few moments until Alexander broke it with a compliment for Kate's cooking skil
Alexander pushed the dining table chair back with a slight screech and stood up, feeling the need to stretch his stiff back after a long meal. He glanced around the dining room, taking in the elegant decor and the remnants of the delicious meal he had just finished. As he walked towards the kitchen, he could hear the faint chirping of birds in the nearby trees.Upon entering the kitchen, Alexander paused to take a deep breath, inhaling the familiar aroma of freshly brewed coffee that filled the air coming from the next house. He walked over to the counter where Kate's coffee maker stood, a sleek and modern machine that she had recently acquired. He carefully selected a mug from the cupboard, admiring the delicate design etched onto the porcelain.With a confident hand, he measured out the coffee grounds and poured them into the machine, listening as the water began to heat up. He watched as the dark liquid dripped into the mug, feeling a sense of satisfaction as the aroma intensified.
Caleb's eyes widened in surprise. "Kate Morrone? You mean the bar waitress back then in College, at our favorite Bar?""Yeah, that Kate," Alexander confirmed. "And it turns out, she had a son. You know, the one in the article that Harley Smith published? He's really my son."Caleb's jaw dropped in shock. He had read the article himself and had been amazed by the story of Alexander Sterling being accused of Rape and threatening to kill Harley Smith's Son. And now, to find out that his best friend was the boy's father was almost too much to process."Wow, man. That's incredible," Caleb said, trying to wrap his head around the news. "Congratulations!""Thanks, Caleb. It's still sinking in, you know? But I'm happy. I'm really happy," Alexander said, his voice filled with joy.Caleb could hear the smile in his friend's voice, and he couldn't help but feel happy for him. After all the struggles Alexander had gone through, it was about time he had something good happen to him."Well, I'm happ
