Mr. Rutherford led Lucas and Alexander to their cubicles which were adjacent to each other. They completed the work that he assigned to them on time. They were done for the day and were contemplating on going home when Lucas's dad summoned them.
They reached his office and went inside. "What happened to you, Alexander?" Asked Lucas's dad with concern.
"I fell from my motorcycle, uncle Eric," he said.
"Be more careful in future," he advised.
"Yes, I will, uncle Eric, " said Alexander.
"Lucas, take Alexander to the apartment where I want him to stay. You can help him shift tonight," said his dad.
"Can I stay with him tonight? Please, dad?" He asked, hop
The warm, soft feel of her mouth against his own stunned Alexander and he stood like a statue, too overwhelmed by the heavenly feeling of her mouth on his. Serenity gently bit his lip and plunged her tongue into his mouth kissing him with abandon. She was tired of his longing looks and decided to take the initiative. Her gentle probing made him groan in pleasure. He came out of his stance and crushed her to himself, dominating the kiss, playing a duel with her tongue.His tongue tasted her hungrily, kissing her wildly, as she clung to him to support her jelly-like legs. It was a passionate kiss, very different from the ones he ever had. Not like the meaningless ones he got on the three se*ual encounters he had before.This was from the soul. It was like an addiction, once you get a taste you want more. He didn't want to stop. In fact, he could
Alexander bit her lower lip asking for permission to plunge his tongue inside her mouth. They forgot everything around them, lost in the warmth of each other's bodies and the hot kiss that they shared. Serenity eagerly opened her mouth to him and he deepened the kiss, exploring her mouth, tasting her thoroughly. Serenity let him dominate for some time and then she kissed him back, dominating the kiss.Alexander was excited at how she was responding to him. He didn't want the kiss to stop. Suddenly Serenity's phone buzzed and she reluctantly left him. He released her as she picked up her phone."Yes, Luke," she breathed into the phone."I was making pasta, tell me," she said, rolling her eyes at him."No, I'll come in fifteen minutes," she informed him and dis
Alexander strode towards his motorcycle with Serenity following him out. He handed her his spare helmet which she fixed on her head. Liam came rushing out, running towards them."Sera, you forgot your phone," said Liam, handing her the mobile phone with a knowing smile on his face."Thanks," said Serenity. Alexander mounted on his motorcycle and waited for Serenity."Don't do anything you shouldn't. Go straight to school," said Liam with mischief in his eyes, before running away at top speed, leaving Serenity gaping at the mischief monkey. He knew!Alexander chuckled with amusement and Serenity blushed and climbed onto his motorcycle. She held onto the seat for dear life in case anyone was watching her. They rode out of the mansion and Alexander turned
She obliged him and gave him a brief kiss. They didn't wish to get caught. It was these little encounters with Serenity that fuelled Alexander's desire to succeed in life. He knew that the love he felt for Serenity wasn't just a crush or a teenage whim. He knew that she was the one with whom he'd like to spend his entire life.They met many times in between to catch a moment with each other. Both tried to interact as much as they could. Knowing each other well, cooking for one another, eating, chatting, making out, everything made them realize that they couldn't live without each other. For Alexander, it meant the world since he had no one in the world to call his own. Serenity became his only reason for living, his only reason to fight it out, his only reason to prove himself. He waited for the day when he could prove his worth and be able to establish himself. All for her.
Alexander dragged himself on the next day. He had to go for his fight on Saturday and didn't know what excuse to make to avoid Serenity's questions. After office when he returned, Serenity came down to his apartment with food that aunt Eugene had sent. They sat down to eat together. "Lex, where did you go yesterday?" She asked curiously. "To the shopping center. I had some essentials to buy," he lied, hoping that she wouldn't ask him to show what he bought. She just nodded and left it at that. "Next time, I too want to go with you. Okay?" She said, with an excited smile. "Sure," he said, returning the smile. They finished their food while discussing Liam and his latest crush at his school. A
"Where can he go, Luke? It's 9 already. His phone is switched off. What do we do with all this food? What will we tell mom?" Asked a worried Serenity. She and Lucas had come in an hour ago with Alexander's dinner that their mom had sent. They'd been trying his mobile phone for the last one hour but he wasn't answering their call.Both waited worriedly and finally decided to go home, leaving his food with the building security guards. Lucas walked to the security guard's office when a black Honda Accord screeched to a halt just outside their main gate. Several men picked up a brutally bruised and bleeding semi-conscious man and brought him inside the building. The security guards rushed towards them. Lucas too went forward.Suddenly Serenity came rushing from where she stood beside Lucas's car. "It's Alexander. Stop everyone, he's wounded," she yelled in p
The next morning Serenity woke up and dashed to Alexander's room. He was still asleep. So she went back to freshen up. Lucas went to check up on Alexander. He saw that he had woken up and freshened up too. Kathy was just leaving after giving him a glass of warm milk and biscuits."Hey, dude, how are you feeling now?" He asked, checking his face. The swelling had reduced a lot."Alive," said Alexander with a grin. "Thanks for saving me."Lucas looked down at his hands. "You could have informed me, Alex. Why did You go to fight without informing anyone?" He asked in a hurt tone."You would have got upset and maybe would have informed uncle Eric," said Alexander, knowing that Lucas was hurt. He too felt bad but he couldn't help it.
They reached their hotel on Santa Monica beach, LA around lunchtime. Alexander stared at the beach with wonder."Is that the beach where we'd surf, uncle Eric?" Asked Alexander, staring at the beach and the ocean with wide eyes."No, that's Santa Monica State Beach, our hotel is located here. We'll surf on the Venice beach," said Lucas's dad.Their car entered the gates of a grand hotel, luxuriously decorated with sprawling lawns as they entered through the gates. They clambered out of the car and stood staring at the hotel."This is the first hotel that we built in the West," informed Lucas's dad and everyone looked at the hotel with wonder."It doesn't look that old, dad," said Lucas.
9 Months LaterSerenity devoured the sundae that her heart had been craving to have and grinned happily at Alexander. For the last nine months, she had been having weird food cravings and Alexander had obliged her to the best of his abilities. He had transformed himself and had become a very good cook, putting all of them to shame. Serenity couldn’t have asked for a better life partner and she was glad that she got a chance to see this side of his character.He was very caring always but the way he selflessly cared for his family was something she had never seen anyone do. He took her to every doctor visit and took out time to make her a diet chart to follow every day. Not only their unborn baby, but the way he cared for Adriel and Alexa was also applaudable. Her parents had arrived last month and even they couldn’t help but praise Alexander’s efforts. The tw
Two Years Later"Sera, we're leaving with Alex for our surfing classes," yelled a fifteen-year-old Walter."Pwetty pease, ucl Water, can we goo too pease?" Said two-year-old Alexa, with puppy dog eyes. Walter picked her up in his arms. She looked so tiny compared to his five feet eleven inches in height."Not today princess. Today we have a test," he said and she stared at him with hope."What s a tes ucl Wiill?" Asked Adriel, looking up at William who was of the same height as Walter."It is something to check if you're learning or not," he explained.Alexander came out of their bedroom, dressed up for surfing. He kissed Serenity's forehead, "Take care, Serena. If you need me just call, ok?" He said.
She walked to the reception party in the garden. A huge white tent-like structure was made under which everyone was gathered. The entire area was decorated using natural tones like sandy beige, white and gray complemented by bright purple and lavender. Bouquets and centerpieces were also kept simple and featured white roses, vibrantly deep purple tulips, and lavender sprigs.The 20-foot head table covered in a white cover was lined with real white and neutral sea coral as well as floating candles and lavender ranunculus. The chairs were covered in white with lavender bows tied around them.Her eyes searched for Alexander who was enjoying a drink with her brothers, Lucas, Liam, and Tyler. Mark, uncle Colton, uncle Ethan, and her dad were laughing loudly with their better halves sharing jokes. It was a completely different scene from her last reception part
On the day of the wedding, Alexander was whisked away to Lucas's house by Liam, Walter, and William much to his dissatisfaction. He had imagined watching her getting ready for him!The men were all getting ready at Lucas's house so that the women could get ready in peace at Serenity's house. Aunt Kelly, River, and Carmella helped Serenity get ready. Nancy, Violet, and Valerie's nanny, Mary looked after Valerie, Ryder, and the twins. Last night Mark Orbitz and his family arrived and they were accommodated at Colton Young's house. Serenity met Paige and felt glad that her misunderstandings had been cleared.They would all directly go to the chapel. Alexander had requested a first look and Serenity agreed. River and Carmella fixed her hair into a braided updo, beautifully secured with sequin pins. She wore a 3D lace applique, sleeveless wedding dress w
After breakfast, Alexander received a panic call from Lucas. Violet's water broke and she was in pain. They were rushing her to the hospital. He informed Serenity and asked her to call her parents and rushed out. Serenity called her parents and informed them. They would reach the hospital directly. Serenity couldn't leave her babies and go see Violet. She would have to wait for Alexander to return home. She waited patiently the whole morning for an update.At lunchtime, Walter and William came over to her house to inform her that Violet had given birth to a healthy baby girl. They had all decided to name her Valerie, as it contained the letters V for Violet and L for Lucas. Violet was fine and would be released the next day. Lucas, Liam, Alexander, and their parents were all there with her at the hospital. Their parents would return back to Lucas's house while the three men would take turns to
Nancy came into the nursery with a smile the moment Alexander went out. She helped Serenity to switch the babies.After they were done, Serenity went to Alexander's room to freshen up for dinner. However, to her immense embarrassment, Alexander sat at his desk on his laptop. The moment she walked in, he looked up at her. Serenity’s cheeks colored profusely as his piercing gaze swept over her body. “Umm, I’ll just change out of this,” she said awkwardly. Alexander nodded silently, his eyes not leaving hers for even a second. There was a strange electric current in the air around them and the se*ual tension was too much to bear. Serenity picked up her clothes and rushed into the en-suite to change as Alexander’s eyes followed her around. She changed into a navy blue A-line, chiffon, sleeveless dress and walked out into the bedroom. Alexander’s eyes again took h
Alexander carried her all the way and up the stairs much to her embarrassment. "Lex put me down. I can walk, " she said, her cheeks flushed and hot. Did he forget that Nancy was inside somewhere?"No, I want to carry you," he said stubbornly, glancing at her and winking. She rolled her eyes at him but her heart was beating faster and faster with every step that he took. She wondered where he was carrying her to. With his admission came the realization that she had unnecessarily misunderstood him. He had always loved her. If she hadn’t been so stupid, they would have been married by now."Alex, where do I keep Serenity's stuff?" Asked Grant, coming up behind them with Serenity's luggage. She wriggled to get down but Alexander held her tightly, not releasing her at all. Serenity’s cheeks colored profusely.
It was a wild, searing kiss that heated her whole body. His tongue plunged into her parted mouth and he tasted her like a hungry predator, not able to contain himself anymore. His arm left the wall and went around her waist pulling her closer and crushing her against his hard body. His tongue played with hers, making her surrender completely to the intense and wild kiss. His body was already on fire, his kiss was full of passion too and it melted Serenity to the core of her heart. He was all she'd been craving the whole of last year. Now that he was with her, she couldn't help but hold him close. Her fingers tangled in his silky hair as she moaned into his mouth. He kissed and kissed her more till she was completely breathless."Oh, God, I've wanted to do this for so long," he said in between kisses. She couldn't move out of his arms, not that she wanted to. Her knees had turned to liquid. He had tha
"Let them come in, Alex," said his mom. Alexander helped Serenity with the strollers. She came inside and sat in the living room. His mom poured over Alexa and Adriel, cooing at them, making them gurgle with pleasure."Oh, aren't they cute? They must be quite a handful," she said, picking up Alexa in her arms. Alexander took Alexa from her arms and held her to his chest, nervously so as not to hurt her."She's so tiny. What's her name?" He asked, slowly rocking Alexa. She snuggled into his chest and Alexander felt choked with emotions at her behavior. He felt a strange connection to her and he had no idea how."Alexa," said Serenity, her cheeks coloring a little. Would he realize the connection?Alexander looked at her, and at Alexa. He was confus
