Alexander's POVWhy? Why do I feel this closeness with Iris? Why do I feel as if my hands exactly know it's the way around her body?Why she has this inexpressible control over my actions, feelings everything?Why do I crave her presence?Why her smile brings this warm feeling inside my heart?Why was she engulfed in my arms, making me feel so much at serenity?Why whenever I see her, I feel like she is a faded memory, that I want to recall desperately.For fuck's sake, I don't even know this woman.Then why all these feelings?While this kiss was initiated by, desire and jealousy, it gradually is now into a need.The more my lips are moving against her, the more I feel like the abyss in my memory is being filled, making me continue kissing her more and more.In the back of my mind, I know this is wrong but I won't stop it, nor will let anyone do so.Now that I know how it feels to have her, I crave her more.I sound selfish. Fuck me if I dont know that. Last four years, I felt nothi
With my head high and eyes determined, I exit the bathroom and walked back into the hallway that was leading to the part, I was just at the dye of the hallway, and my eyes landed on Ethan, he was standing beside her mom, who is whispering something in her ear. Ethan shook his head at whatever she said and he looked annoyed, an expression that he holds a lot around his mother, looking around, I am sure to find some escape, I took a step towards him and save him from the misery. But even before I can exit the hallway, I felt my elbows being gripped and my hand on my mouth and was dragged to a room. The room was dark, but I don't need light to know who has dragged me here. And I was proved right when brown orbs clashed with my forest greens, his eyes filled with fury his jaw clenched. He has both his hands on either side of my head, while I am looking scared into his eyes. " Mr. Russo..." I whispered, trying to take steps aside and free from his hold, but even before
Iris looked at herself in the mirror, as she gets ready for work. She is wearing beige high-waisted regular-fit pants and matched them with a very plain white shirt. Her hair was tied in a loose ponytail. A watch in one hand and a gold bracelet in the other, for the shoes, she went for a transparent platform flat. Which was both casual and professional. Confident with her outfits her gaze stooped at her face, she tried to hide the bags under her eyes but, seems like she failed at it. Her thoughts were about to wander to the reason for her swollen eyes, but she knew better than to do that. Those thoughts will only bring anguish and depression, that she cannot bare. Yesterday when Ethan dropped her home, Iris opened her apartment doors only to find her son sleeping on the couch as his head was on Blair's lap, who was running fingers through his hair. As Blair saw Iris, she asked her to be quiet so she can wake Xan up. Iris remembers how she quite moved toward his
Iris's POV I opened my mouth to answer Xander about his inappropriate behavior, but before I could do so, we both heard the door knob turn. With the same speed he pulled me closer, he drove me away. I composed myself. " Iris, here you are and I thought will be late," saying Ethan took quick steps toward me, and out of habit gave me a tight hug and kiss on my forehead. "You ok?" he whispered asked. I know he wanted to make sure, after seeing me so tired last night. "Yeah, I am. " I said assuring him. Ethan hugged me back, but a throat clear made him pull away from me. "Mr. Russo. " Ethan greeted him in a clipped tone. Something tells me, Ethan is not pleased with his presence. There is no hatred but at the same time, I can see him being a little indifferent toward Xander. The way he so formally greeted him, without a smile and then his tone, was so... I don't know, but it was not the tone you use with your business partner. I mean he didn't even try hiding his
I fucking want to kill someone. Squeezing the pen in my hand, I glared at the man sitting across from me. If looks could kill, then this man would have been six feet under the ground. And for a change this time my anger is not directed toward Ethan. I am angry with a bald man, with one foot on earth and the other in the grave kinda old man, or I say a pervert, boggling shamelessly at Iris. He is shameless enough, to not even try to hide his dirt gaze. From the moment we entered he had his eyes fixed on her, as Iris is going around the table, placing the required papers needed for the meeting, he has his fixed on her ass. And if he soon, doesn't take his eyes off her, I am gonna poke this freaking pen in his eyes. But why Alexander Russo? My subconscious asked the 100th time and I have no fucking answer to that question. Why I feel this way toward Iris, is a mystery to me. All I know is that, for some reason, I feel this harmony with her, this need to protec
Iris's POV I stood at the door. While Xander paced around the office angrily.Before, I came with the thought to calm him down, but now I have no clue, how. Calming Xander was not something that I don know. Of anything for him, my mere presence was enough to calm him down. But there is a difference between this Xander and the Xander I knew. They are the same person, but still different for me. At last, I was enough for Xander to calm down, because I meant the world to him, he may be been chaos for the world, but he felt calm in my arms. I was his sanctuary, where he felt surrounded by serenity. But this Xander is Alexander Russo, to him, I am a challenge or a stranger, I don't know. But what I am sure of is, I am not the person who knows, how to calm him down. My once confident steps are now frozen and hesitant. I am debating if I should stay or leave until he has calmed himself. I was still debating looking between him and the door when I flinched at the so
Alexander's POV It's been fifteen minutes since they took Oris, inside, they stopped me from following, like the hell they could, it's only because Ethan held me back, that's the only reason here I am pacing outside of Iris's room. Looking continuously at her door. What the hell are they taking so much time for? "Can you stop, pacing like this is not gonna, speed things up. You are giving me a headache." Annoyed, Ethan complained. " Then stop looking at me," I answered hoarsely. Since the moment we arrived, he has his eyes fixed on me as if he is decoding something, looking at me, which is going to answer all the question swimming in his eyes. I am not blind, I am just ignoring his questioning looks. Because that's the last thing I care about. I don't know, what is stopping him from bombarding me with questions, he has all the rights, but he is not. That is making me both curious and angry. His indifference, towards another man, being this worried for his gir
" Mommy, I look good? " in his bubbly voice Xan asks as he, runs towards me. Today is a fancy dress competition in Xam's school, where they are supposed to dress like their favorite superheroes. Which was a task for me and Blair. Only we know how many shops we wandered to find their perfect costumes. But all was worth it. Because the happiness that came afterward, to our kid's face was priceless. They were never so excited about school like this as if today they are in a sugar rush. So energetic they are. Looking at my baby, I couldn't stop myself from gushing. My son is looking so cute. He is dressed as Captain America, and I want to just keep touching wood to keep all the evil eyes off my baby. " Aww... You are looking so handsome. Come here." Can't run into my arms, filling my heart with happiness that only he can give me. My baby is my world and he is the best thing that happened to me. Now I understand why mom use today, that motherhood is something, a b
