Chapter: 28********Michael or was it Matthew pulled away and stared deeply into his eyes. "Is it possible to be any more smitten with you?" He whispered and Alexander felt his face heating up painfully. "And I do love it when you blush." He looked into his eyes, and Alexander was captivated, they seemed to stare into his soul and see everything laid bare. Alexander licked his lips unconsciously, ever so slightly pursing them creating just a tiny gap. Matthew tilted his head slightly and leaned in, and Alexander melted again.Whatever resistance he might have had to this new sensation melted away instantly, and he was taken by the kiss. It was completely different to Maria's and her lips were all he's ever known, well, until now. There was no softness, no pliability. His lips conveyed strength, power, passion, and security, and they moved with a deliberateness that Alexander had never felt before. Matthew's tongue lightly pressed at the opening to his mouth and he surrendered access
Chapter: 29.******"Yes, please, come in!" Easton exhaled when he heard that voice summoning him into the private office. Today has been quite an eventful one. First, Falcon had visited, and then his project White Prince was taken in for consideration by Falcon which resulted in him sharing a handshake with the billionaire for the first time. Falcon had actually liked his project and not just him. He never thought it would get noticed more so piqued many interests.His ears never heard sweeter words like the ones Falcon filled them with of promises and benefits which are to come with WP and not only for the industry but with his career as well. It was the happiest and most important day of his life and it was nearly close to being a perfect day. Then he had returned to his office and Sally had not only told him Alexander had gotten the job but had also been placed under two-week probation, it didn't bother him, knowing that Alexander would excel by the end of his two weeks. He was h
Chapter: 30.******"Thank you, Falcon-""Matthew!"Shocked out of their sockets his eyes bulged and his mouth uttered without hesitation. "Excuse me?!" Palming his mouth after that, he eyed the man apologetically even though he could only look at the back of his head, he still felt the need to apologize as if he were staring into those wicked sharp domineering eyes."Matthew, is the name and tell me, Mr. Easton, what inspired White Prince?!" Easton became visibly shaken when the man rose from his chair. Damn, the aura that man was packing was starting to sand his force into submission and he hadn't even faced him yet he was still facing the walls and Easton's breath began to quicken again when he turned, and finally, their eyes met.Unconsciously he stepped back a few steps, eyes blinked multiple times, what was this aura he emits? It was driving him crazy, all his senses went into an overdrive, rational thoughts eluded him and his eyes did nothing but stare while his mouth gawked wi
Chapter: 31.******Daring, he looked directly into Falcon's face and with a smile. "You took the punch." He charged and chuckled when he saw Matthew point to the side he had received the blow, feigning a hurt expression with a soft hiss like he just got hit again."He packed a good blow," Falcon confirmed and they both laughed softly. "Wonder what else he could do with those strong fists?" He raised a brow at Easton who visibly winced and then burst out laughing again catching his drift.Once he had calmed himself he took on a more serious expression and asked. "How is Allison?" "I haven't seen her in quite a few months but I should be visiting her soon, now that Alexander knows who I am.""You told him?""I...did more than that," gently rubbing at his lips with two fingers he nearly laughed out loud when he saw Easton's brows go up so fast as the realization settled in."You kissed him?!" "I'm sorry, I could not hold back anymore, he drives me completely mad." "No, don't apologiz
Chapter: 32.******"Wonder what facial expressions she would make when she finds out her husband has a twin and not only that but the twin is yearning for her ex!" "I will be sure to take a photo for you." This had Easton laughing."Gee, thanks!" He cried."You are welcome, Easton." Easton nodded with a soft smile. "How is he faring?" Matthew asked."Better as long as nothing happens to spoil his cheerfulness." He told him."What spoiled it last time?" "Allison told him Maria was pregnant.""Oh, no," "I know,""I can imagine just how badly that would have hurt him.""Told you he was nearly dead.""Don't tell me how, I can't bear it."Easton smiled nodding. "I will do my best to make sure he takes the job even if I have to blackmail him into doing it," Easton assured with a chuckle."Blackmail?" "Ah, don't worry, he may be your Alexander but he is also my Xander, I know him well." Seeing the uncertainty laced across Falcon's face, Easton knew he had to do better, the man was worri
Chapter: 33.*******The sea mountains have grown cold since Tide disappeared. The King in his rage has sent warriors even into Glasa to find Tide but all search has proved futile. Tideian has gone missing.Words spread fast across the Seas and panic rose. Sea dwellers worried for Tideian and the fate of Aquarial. Without Tideian, Aquarial has no balance. The Festival of the Tears had been canceled by the King, he saw no reason to celebrate when Tide could be anywhere possibly hurt and so he had ordered the Merelves to give the potions to the warriors and they went door to door delivering each to its rightful house.The Seven Seas remind restless as day after day Neptune grew furious and the Seas ran cold, colder than it should be. If Tide isn't found sooner, Neptune would lose his mind and Aquarial would suffer. It shall not be heard that during the Reign of Neptune the Sixth his Tideian disappeared.Never has that tale been told and it wasn't going to begin with him.It became a sa
Chapter: 34.*******Having dealt with a lot from Matthew and that kiss which left him feeling so much at once Alexander needed a moment to think. Easton had returned home seeking him out once they had finished dinner. It was all talk about Matthew and White Prince and him taking whatever job offer he got. He found it suspicious the way that Easton had said it."What do you mean, whatever job I got offered?""You see, the thing is, Falcon doesn't think the job of a secretary is fit for you.""What does he care what job I do? It's not his problem and why are you talking about this with me?""If you don't take the job Falcon has provided for you, I will lose White Prince!" "Wh-What?!" Alexander couldn't believe his ears. What happened to him and Falcon? He wondered seeing just how Easton was visibly shaken. "Did he say something to you, that son of a bitch!" He snapped, worried eyes gazed into Easton's wet ones."Look, Xander, you are just going to be working directly for Falcon, it's
Chapter: 35.*******"Why are you helping him?" One asked."None of your business." He fired back."Your funeral, man!" Another hissed."Where are your parents?!" He demanded but they ran away before he looked up. Seething he hissed and went back to dragging the man out. "Dumb kids..." He grunted under his breath. Finally pulling the man out and now in open view, Alexander gawked, with bulging eyes, he paused and stumbled backward at the sight that greeted him.There was no way this was a man in costume, he just didn't know how to place it but what costume could be so perfectly etched into the body like a second skin? He had openings on both sides of his ribs and his neck. Fins lined nearly half of both his slender arms and another stretched along his back. His fingers were long with claw-like nails and they seemed to be merged by fins of some sort. He could see the gills on both sides of his neck expand and close with each rough breath it let out.Like a fish out of water and dying?!
