Chap 12 Bella’s POVStupid, stupid, stupid!I felt so stupid! How could I let myself fall for his seduction again? But I couldn’t resist. His sweaty chest drew me in and fogged my senses, and his eyes told me things his mouth refused to say.He couldn’t resist me, but he was fighting us for a reason. I needed to know those reasons, I needed to know what could make him so hesitant, even though his whole body wanted it, wanted us. And for some reason, I wanted him so badly. I couldn’t get him out of my head.Anna told me to be patient, but I’ve already accepted our fate. Whatever was stopping him obviously means more to him than I do, and that’s fine.Fuck him, there are many other men out there.But they are not him… Sigh.This wasn’t my first rodeo, how the hell did I get hung up on a one-night stand? I finished up my hair and took a step back to see how I looked.Beautiful.“Like a goddess.” A voice said, startling me.Fucking Alex in my bedroom.“God you fucking
Chapter 13BellaThe ride was tense. Tense doesn’t even cut it. The only sound occupying the space was the sound of us driving.Alex was as still as a rock, and after stealing glances at him, I could se the grip he had on the steering wheel and the muscle twitching in his jaw and his forehead. Anger washed off him in waves, intimidating the hell out of me.I wanted to say something regarding the manner which he spoke to Collins. I had that covered. He had no reason to ‘swoop in to save me.’ Im beginning to notice had a hero complex. Or maybe he was just jealous. If that’s the case then I don’t really blame him. I’d be jealous if I had been a guy and someone was hitting on me.But i knew better than to bring that up when he had a death grip on the steering wheel.We got home, and without words he got out of the car. Wow okay then.I picked up my purse, and walked out of the car, and without a glance on the man leaning on the car, I walked towards my door.No. I can’t just walk away wit
Chap 14BellaI felt a large arm on my waist and a hard back pressing against me. I snuggled closer, enjoying the warmth the body provided me. memories from last night came rushing back to me, and my face heated.Last night was wild.I felt goosebumps appear all over my body and my sore pussy throb as I thought back to how he fucked me. Alex was a beast. I felt his hard dick on my back and I squirmed in his arms as his palm grazed my very sensitive nipple. I turned back to look at the man at my back, and I saw him gazing at me with hooded eyes.“Hey,” I whispered, touching his stubble. He gave me a small smile that made my heart beat with happiness.My fingers flickered over his face, grazing his soft lips. His lips parted slightly under my touch, and a soft exhale escaped his lips. I couldn't resist the urge to feel them against mine, so I leaned in, pressing my lips gently against his.We kissed softly at first then deepened the kiss, my heart hammering in my chest. I recognized t
Chapter 15BellaAlex gave me one of his shirt and since his shorts were too big for me, I went commando.Like he said, we shouldn't overthink things. It felt right so that was good. I regret nothing. What I regret was not making him jealous earlier.Who knew he could be so possessive? Another thing to add in the list of things I know about Alexander Reed. And he could cook, but if hes a good enough cook? We would know in few minutes. He smiled at me as he brought our breakfast to the bed.I smiled as I collected my plate, bacon, eggs and some pancakes. "Alex, this is too much. I can't finish it."Alex gave me a stern look, "You barely ate anything last night, butterfly. And you weigh even less. Eat."I pouted as I cut a piece of pancake and slipped it into my lips. He must have been staring so hard, because no one noticed I chewed almost the same piece of food for an hour.His eyes softened as he saw me swallow the pancake and his hand patted mine. “You need the energy to replenish
Chapter 16BellaThe dinner went smoothly. Alex visibly seemed more relaxed, and in no time, we were all joking around. I liked Emily. She had sass and fire, needed in a home full of men, but she seemed to argue with Maria a lot.The baby was so cute, and when I carried him in my arms, he smiled, making the motherly instincts I never knew I had to flutter.The twins playfully flirted with me, but after a game of monopoly, they recognised me as an enemy because I partnered with Emily to school the men.Cole and Alex accepted their loss like mature adults, but the twins were finding it hard to accept reality. Maria was the banker. The game went smoothly, well as smoothly as monopoly could go.I had so much fun with Alex's family, and after the game, Maria pulled me into the kitchen to do the dishes with her."Here," she handed me a dish cloth, "I'll wash the dishes, and you'll dry them.""Okay," I took the cloth, and we began."Bella," Maria started, and I turned my attention to her. "
Chapter 17BellaThe sound of loud knocking jolted me out of my slumber. It continued with urgency, and the person even tried to open the door.“Who the hell is that?” Alex muttered, turning in the bed. I wanted to ignore it but it continued angrily.I groaned, getting out of the bed. It was just seven in the morning.“I’m coming,” I wore my flipflops and stumbled out of the room.I didn’t bother checking who was at the door before opening.An angry looking Noah stood at the front of my door. “What the hell were you doing? I’ve been knocking.”I groaned, “What do you think Noah? It’s just seven in the morning.” “What’s your point? Half of the population have accomplished something at this hour.” I threw my hands up in the air, “And the other half is trying to get a goodnight’s sleep!”He looked at me for a while, “Whatever. Get away from the door, or can’t I come into your apartment?”I rolled my eyes, “What sort of question is that? Of course, you- “I clamped my mouth shut as I ins
Chapter 18BellaWe met the pearls crew in Dubai. They were all so nice and friendly. I couldn’t meet Laura personally but I met her assistant, who led us to the hotel where they already booked a room for us. It was a majestic five-star hotel to my taste, crawling with rich Arab men and beautiful women.Even Alex was impressed about this fact after criticizing the kind of plane ticket they bought for us, hence why we had to go on his private jet instead.The room was just how we wished it could be. It was a suite adorned with luxurious furnishings and breathtaking views of the city skyline.We settled in the suite after a brief arrangement to meet early tomorrow morning for our shoot. We had the whole day to rest.Alex was already in the suite when I walked in with a towel on his waist and water dripping down his chest.“Hey,” he greeted, taking my attention off his chest and to the teasing smirk on his face as he caught me checking him out. “I could pose for a picture if you like,” h
Chapter 19 Bella’s Pov It was seven o'clock, and I was dressed and adorned for our first shoot. Alex sat beside me in our car as we trailed behind Pearl's crew closely to the venue. I felt a lot more confident, like the real Bella people saw. Beautiful, fierce, unbreakable. All thanks to the one man I never knew could make me feel so beautiful, so seen. I blushed as I remembered events that happened earlier today in the dressing room while I was getting ready, his head between my legs as he handed his daily meal. He ate pussy better and more passionately than anyone I’ve ever met. And while I wobbled out of the dressing room to show the crew my look, he whispered assumingly dirty words to me like, “I so want to fuck you with that dress bunched around your waist.” Somehow, he managed to make that statement sweet by adding how beautiful I looked after saying that. And I felt beautiful, not just because he said so. He showed it, he made me love every one of my insecurities by mentio
