22. Darkness!
Author’s POV
Bella was looking for Alexander, she was feeling bored so she decided trouble him.
“Excuse me… Where is Alexander?”
She asked the guard.
“Gym… Third floor”
He replied nonchalantly.
She scowled at him.
“Does he have your remote control too… Robot!”
She said but he didn’t react.
She shook her head and head towards the gym. She doesn’t fear him anymore, in last few days she has understood that he is a good person, at least he treats her good.
She went to the gym and her breath hitched when she saw him working out.
“Fuck!”
She gasped.
He was shirtless, covered in sweat. Muscles flexing with each move. Shirtless and gym shorts hanging low on waist.
Her eyes roamed on his chicken legs. She gulped when she noticed his V line, disappearing under shorts.
She has never seen such a beautiful man.
“Wrong move, Bella… Let’s go back before he makes you drop your panties.”
She murmured and turned around to leave.
Before she leaves doors of gym got automatically locked. She gasped and turned around, he was looking at her with raised eyebrows.
“Leaving without saying hii?”
He teased while walking towards her, flexing his sexy body.
“No, I was going on the roof… Came here by mistake.”
She tried to open the door as he started making her nervous.
“Really?”
He placed hand beside her head, on the door.
She Gulped when his body heat engulfed her.
She still remember that kiss, It’s addictive. She can’t take it out of her mind, want to experience it again but she know that it’s wrong.
“What do want?”
He whispered near her ear. Bella sucked in a breath as his hot breath fanned her sensitive skin.
“Tell me…”
He snaked his hand around her belly and her back flushed against his front.
Bella shivered as his hand went under her crop top and rested just below her breasts. He removed hair from her neck and touched her skin with his lips.
“Alexander”
She breathed out.
“Hmm”
He Groaned in sexy voice making butterflies dance in her belly.
His phone suddenly rang and now he Groaned frustratingly. He let her go making her sigh in relief.
“So, what were you doing here?”
He asked again, disconnecting his call.
“I was getting bored…”
She trailed off.
“So I was here to ask you that can I call you with Nick name because Alexander is big name and it’s boring.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“It’s my great grandfather’s name”
He cocked his eyebrow.
“Ohh… I am sorry… But it’s too long”
She suggested.
“Can I call you Axi”
“No!”
He quickly said.
“Call me Alex”
“Alex is boring too… Axi is unique”
She replied.
“Okay, fine… Alex it is.”
She raised her hand when she saw his serious expressions.
“Where do you get these stupid ideas?”
He asked resuming his pull ups.
“It’s my talent”
She grinned.
Suddenly lights went off and Alex heard high pitch scream. He quickly got up and went for Bella. He found her hand in the dark and she quickly hugged him tightly.
“It’s okay, you are fine…”
He rubbed her back. The way she screamed made sure that she fears darkness.
Bella was hugging him for her dear life. She is scared of darkness, specially when she is in new house.
Suddenly old memories flashed in front of her.
“I am sorry… Please open the door.”
Little Bella cried on top of her lungs but her father didn’t open the bathroom door. It was her punishment for going out without permission.
Little girl was terrified of the darkness. Crying alone in the cold bathroom. Since that day that fear made permanent place in her mind.
“Bella are you okay?”
Alexander’s soothing voice brought her back to from the bitter memories.
She nodded and broke the hug when lights turned on again.
“I am sorry… I just can’t deal with darkness.”
She mumbled.
“I figured it out”
He replied caressing her head.
“Why?”
He questioned, deep down he knows who might be the reason behind it.
“I will be in the bedroom”
She mumbled and walked away ignoring his questions.
He clenched his jaw angrily. He called his right hand man.
“Luca, I want to know everything about her father…”
“You want to kill him… He is a piece of shit, can I do the honor?”
He asked.
“No, worst than death”
Alex said.
“Okay… I’ll be on it…”
Luca replied.
Alex disconnected the call and went back to his room to check on her. She was sleeping on the bed while clutching on the pillow tightly.
He sighed and went for a shower and to control his temper before he ruin everything. He doesn’t want her to know that he knows everything. Not yet at least.
He came after shower, she was still in the same position. He laid down beside her and turned her around.
“There is nothing to be afraid of darkness… It’s just a place where lights can’t reach”
He said caressing her cheek.
Bella looked at him with sad smile.
“I can’t stand it”
She mumbled.
“I can’t take it out of my mind…”
He rested his hand on her cheek.
“Today I will give you something… And i promise whenever you see darkness, you will only think about this thing.”
He switched off the lights and she grabbed his hands.
“Alex…”
“Shh… Close your eyes and feel it… It’s all your. Free yourself from every bound…”
He whispered and kissed her forehead.
She felt his lips on her neck and grabbed his arm.
“Alex”
“Trust me”
He assured her.
His lips traveled downward paying attention to her belly. Bella closed her eyes as his lips did wonders on her skin. It made her forget everything. Her limits, her boundaries, everything.
Her head rolled back when kissed her thigh. She didn’t realized when her nighty gathered around her waist and peeled off panties from her core.
