PLAYTHING OF THE ALPHA PREDATORS 123
APRIL I’d been in the shower for a few minutes now, and my phone had rang countless times during that period. No one called me these days, so I always felt like doom was once again lurking close by whenever my phone rang. It would either be someone bringing me bad news or someone who’s more than eager to rain more insults on me since that’s all I got from people these days. I wasn’t eager to find out who was calling me, so I took my precious time in the shower and only stepped out when I was done with my twelve step bath routine and no sooner. When I headed to where my phone was on my bed, it started ringing again and I grabbed with the speed of lightning when I read the caller ID.The relief that hit me was instant and overwhelming and I had to pause for a second to realize how silly that was before I hit the answer button. “Ace, hi! How’re you doing?” I asked immediately, realizing how awfully worried I was about him even after my unpleasant run-in with his mom. “It’s his mothe

ACEI stirred slowly, gradually opening my eyes to find a head of flowing hair beside me that was buried in a copy of Pride and Prejudice.April’s pretty face was undoubtedly the best of sight to wake up to, especially after being unconscious for a quite a while. Even in my state of mind, I knew that I was constantly worrying if another bullet has hit her despite the one I’d taken, so it was a huge relief to see that she was hale and hearty.For a few beats, I was simply content with watching her, pleased that the bullet had hit me instead of taking the life of a woman whose beauty rivaled that of goddesses and renaissance paintings. “Is Darcy worth your attention more than I am even though I’m on a hospital bed?” I finally broke the silence. “You’re awake,” she turned to me with a huge smile on her face and was throwing her hands around me in a hug before I could process anything. But as quickly as her hands wrapped around me, she withdrew like my skin had burnt hers. It’s either

APRIL Nick looked clearly wounded by my refusal to go with him and I hated that whenever I made a decision about the guys, someone always ended up hurt. However, I was making the right decision this time around, and while I hated that Nick was caught in the crossfires, I had to stay back and cater to the man who literally got caught in a firing for me two days ago. As much as I wanted to catch up on everything that happened between when the police barged into his home to arrest him and now, that wasn’t high up on my list of priorities until I was able to nurse Ace to health for saving my life even when I didn’t deserve it. So, for now, Ace’s full recovery was my main focus. But I couldn’t help how horrible I felt about Nick’s hurt expression that I was clearly responsible for. “I’m really sorry, Nick. I know this doesn’t make you feel good, but I think it’s best if I stay with Ace for now,” I apologized in a solemn and sincere tone.He stepped closer to me and leaned in, his feat

APRIL It’s almost been a week and Ace has been recuperating at an impressive pace according to the doctors. We’d become roommates at this point, and he was more tolerable than I thought he’d be in the first place. He was a little too willing to share his food with me, and he found staffs to sneak in snacks for us in the middle of the night. Strangely, he never made any sexual comments or sexual advances towards me in the last five days, and he turned out to be a great listener when he didn’t have any means to puff smoke in the air to ignore you. We’d now even managed to develop a casual friendship over a few days when we couldn’t even manage to be acquainted when we knew each other for months. It’s crazy that all we needed to bond was him getting shot in my stead. Should we be thankful to the assassin? Or would this have happened eventually? “Do you want the rest of my eggs and pancake?” Ace’s question pulled me back to reality and I looked down to see that I’d been absentm

APRILI knew this day was coming, I just hoped it’d wait until the day Ace was being discharged. Right now, his mother looked like she’d been dying to say that for days and I saw it in her eyes every time that she walked in here and spotted me, it was always clear that she was fighting the urge to unlock the nearest window and throw me out like trash. “We’d appreciate that, yes,” Ace’s father backed up his wife without wasting a breath.I didn’t even get a chance to think up a response before Ace piped in, “she can’t leave, she’s staying here with me until I’m officially discharged,” he insisted. His father’s face immediately turned red with fury and he was soon marching towards Ace’s bed like a man storming off to war.“What the fuck is your problem? Is death the only way you’ll ever see things sensibly? This is the second girl you’ve liked and just like the first one, she almost got you killed by foolishly letting you play hero!” his father flared up like Ace’s last words were fu

APRIL Ten minutes ago, Ace’s mom had screamed the entire hospital down and about three doctors and some assisting nurses had come running to her precious son’s aid. We’d been seated, well not me… Ace’s parents had been seated on the bench outside the suite while I was standing and pacing worriedly while wondering what must’ve gone wrong with him. He’d been doing great in the last few days and we hadn’t needed the emergency button even once, and now everything suddenly went to shit? Maybe it was the stress he racked up from arguing with his father. “Why’re you still lurking around here? Shouldn’t you be on your merry way home? or haven’t you caused enough ruckus?” Ace’s mother shot me her signature hateful and irritated look. “I made a promise to be here until he’s fully healed and I’m sorry you don’t approve of it, but I’m going to stick to my word,” I told her in as respectful of a tone that I could garner. Deep down, I wanted to tell her how much of an unnecessarily mean bitch

APRILLuckily, the doctor came to my aid before she could burn a hole in my skin.“Unfortunately, that’s not a wise choice Luna Jackson,” the doctor cautioned her in a tone filled with reverence, “it’s this young woman’s presence that pulled him out of a near coma, and it’s also her nearness to him that has allowed him recover faster than anyone should in his condition…” Ace’s parents looked between each other, clearly torn and in distress about the decision they had to make. They were weighing if their undying hatred for me was worth risking their son’s life, or if they could tolerate me just to keep their precious heir alive. “I honestly doubt that there’s a medical explanation for how all of that is possible, but since her presence keeps him grounded and fastens his healing, it’s best if she’s always at his side, especially right now after the shock incident,” the doctor finished and I could see the wheels turning in the heads of Alpha and Luna Jackson. “Whatever, you can go in,

APRIL “You’re looking at me like there’s something you badly want to say, and it’s eating you from the inside out,” Ace was saying as he held out his hand for more of my Cheetos.“Nothing’s eating me out,” I lied and hugged my snacks to myself, refusing to share, “but some part of me’s been wondering why you never take anything seriously. You’re always nonchalant and unbothered in the most tense situations.”I ended up spilling what was on my mind anyways.“What a greedy bunny,” he smirked before stretching for the snack bar and picking up a chocolate bar. Then, he practically swallowed it in one bite before shrugging and getting off the bed, then taking off his hospital robe. I forced my gaze to train itself anywhere but on his magnificent chest that was now on display as he walked to the wardrobe. “On a lighter note, I got the doctors to discharge me because I have proof of him being an opium addict that could make him lose his license, so we can leave now,” he said while struggl

APRILLogic had been flung out the window and I was fully engrossed in him. “Kissing you feels even more amazing than I remember,” he groaned before standing up and lifting me with him before starting towards the steps. As he walked, he kneaded my ass together in a way that made my pussy lips grind against each other which in turn made me moan helplessly. Soon he was kicking the room door open and placing me down on the bed. He spread my legs and pushed my dress up to expose my soaked core to him. “I’ve missed how fucking wet you get,” he hooked a finger in my panties and ripped them off me without restraint. Before I could catch my breath, he was kissing a line up my inner thighs while his thumb was massaging my clit in a way that nearly drove me mad. “So precious. So perfect,” he bummed as his lips hovered at my entrance. I bit down on my lower lip and moaned loudly, pushing myself closer to him so his lips were grazing my wet folds. The very next second, he let out a hungry

APRIL I was completely floored by his words, because I’d convinced myself constantly that he didn’t like me. “I’m already in love with Nick, and he’s the only man for me,” I boldly told him even though I was swept off my feet by his heartfelt confession. “How about you repeat that without looking away from me? Especially that last bit, make it believable enough,” Ace placed his hand on my jaw and turned my face so that our gazes were now locked.His eyes lingered with raw hunger on my lips and I found myself biting the full end of my bottom lip as I wondered what thoughts were running through his head as he watched me. “Go ahead, say it again,” he urged, his eyes now back on mine.I swallowed hard and tried, “Nick is….I only… I love… uh…” I found myself stuttering helplessly and being unable to even recall what I’d said earlier, especially because his thumb was stroking my chin sweetly.When he saw that I couldn’t repeat it, he looked awfully pleased, smiling as he wrapped an arm

APRIL Upon hearing my question, he seemed to instantly shut down. The playful smile on his face had faded in an instant, and it seemed like that was the one question he wasn’t expecting to be asked. I didn’t want to push him to share anything he was uncomfortable with, so I pressed my palms together and smacked my lips…“It’s fine, you don’t have to answer it. I just asked a question so you wouldn’t tickle me, I didn’t mean to cross any boundaries,” I pushed my hair out of my face and turned away from him. In a literal second, his hand cupped my jaw and my face was almost swimming in his huge palm, then he turned me so I was facing him again. For what felt like the hundredth time today, he glanced at my lips and his eyes darkened with desire. “I want to tell you, that’s just my default reaction to being reminded of her,” he explained, a sad smile touching his unfairly beautiful lips. I just nodded, giving him the go-ahead while trying to mask my surprise at his behavior.“Her nam

APRIL My jaw was literally sweeping the floor at his sudden revelation, and I was convinced that I’d heard wrong. “Wha…. What?” I asked incredulously. “Because I’ve run out of reasons to make you stay and I can’t bear you leaving.”Boldly, he repeated himself, and that was a big deal because the Ace I’d known and detested for months hated to repeat himself, especially not in obedience to a woman’s request for him to do so. “I… I don’t know what to say, but I think I need to leave,” I told him in a weirdly dazed voice and it’s clear he could see that I was surprised by his words. He reached for my duffel bag and held into it, “if you insist on leaving, I’m getting into this duffel bag or I’m clinging to it and following you wherever you go.”“Please don’t leave me here. I’ve been craving your presence for months and I honestly don’t care that the only way I became worthy of it was by taking a bullet for you. I’ve run out of ideas to make you stay, but I’d really love it if you did

APRIL“Since you’ve taken your pills and you’ve been well fed, I think you should get a personal nurse or one of your trusted staff to tend to you, because I’m taking my leave,” I got out of the chair and started towards the living room where my duffel bag was lying on the couch. He followed behind me immediately, blocking my path before I could reach out for the bag. My face hit his chest and he wrapped his hand at the back of my neck before pulling me away a little and tilting my head so that he was gazing right into my eyes from almost two feet above me. “Cool your horses,” his gaze swept slowly over my face, “I still need to take a bath to get rid of that hospital stench and I need your help getting undressed.”He reached down and took my hands, then guided them slowly to the hem of his shirt, stealthily using my fingers to rub his toned waist. I felt my entire body tingle as he started to use my hand to lift his shirt off his abs at the same tortuous pace. As my fingers grazed
