Alexander’s POV

Staying in this mansion was proving to be more suffocating that I had expected, I had to deal with Ethan and his lackeys following me around but honestly, they were the least of my problems, my biggest problem right now was being under the same roof with Maria, I wanted nothing more than to grab her in my arms and do all the pleasurable things to her while she writhed beneath me.

I was not expecting this array of feelings on meeting her, she had appeared in my dreams many times before coming here and when I had seen her, I had thought it might be coincidence but now, I was not stupid enough to believe that I felt nothing for her.
