The kiss
Lily’s POV
As soon as he had decided that I was set on my answer, he crashed his lips down on to mine in complete contrast to the gentle touch he had done moments prior.
The oxygen was punched straight out of my lungs at the feverish pitch of his lips pressed against mine. Immediately everything filtered into white noise around me as he started molding his mouth against mine, which I matched back just as desperate.
His lips felt contradicting like rough paper and soft silk and it was euphoric. He reached down and ran his hands down my sides as if he was trying to memorize every inch of body that he was touching until he reached my thighs and wrapped his demanding hands around the under side of them.
He lifted me up abruptly and locked my legs around his narrow hips.
My arms shot up around the top of his shoulders for support and gripped the back of his neck.
He teased his tongue against my bottom lip and without thought I opened my mouth and invited it in.
He wasted no time in darting his tongue inside my mouth and danced it along my own. The taste of him was enough to leave me feeling mindlessly drunk from that same whiskey and mint that suffocated my senses.
I’ve been kissed before, plenty of time by Chase. Kisses that disgusting me, that made feel like burning my lips.
This was different , it was not forced or one sided. It was the kind of kiss that shatters reality around you and has you reevaluating your grip on sanity.
Today I was having my first official kiss. A kiss that I wanted , that I craved for. But I don’t think I would ever be satisfied.
His palms travelled up my thighs until they reached my behind and squeezed it firmly over my black jeans, and my hand tangled into the back of his hair over the action.
A fever sparked in my lower belly, it twisted and thrashed violently while our mouths folded against each other with increasing eagerness.
A deep groan travelled through his chest and my legs wrapped tighter around his hips, and he eagerly pushed them againys the space between my legs in return.
He squeezed my ass roughly again, grinder his hips forward and then dragged his blunt nails up the back of my thighs.
His action caused a sharp whimper to escape from me and my fingers gripped tighter on his hair like it’s the only sanity I could cling on to.
A clearing of throat could be heard causing me jump away from Alex but he held me tightly to his body. “Sir, we’re about to land”. The man who had been in the air balloon all these while said.
“Alright”. Alex said in an irritated voice and waved him off.
He turned back to me and flashed me an enchanting smile before turning me around so I had my back to him.
He hugged me like that as we watched the sky while the air balloon prepared to land.
From that moment, I knew that I was completely damned. Any hope of running away from the feelings I had for Alex was completely disintegrated because his claws were no firmly embedded inside of me and I felt like I had willingly let him take hostage.
I am completely and utterly fucked when it comes to this man.
I just hope that things would remain like this between us. I never want to know the Alex that did not see me.

Lily’s POV
The past few weeks had been nothing but a dream for me. Alex has been acting really different and not just any kind of different, but the good kind.
I’m not saying that the almighty Alex is a simp for me now and has confessed his undying love for me, but he’s been acting different around me.
Treating me better, caring for me and actually seeing me. He comes home often and even if we still don’t sleep on the same bed as a couple but he checks on me whenever he’s back from work.
All these attention that he has been giving me has me feeling on top of the moon. It’s just really shocking and at the same wonderful.
But alas all these would not come without a negative side to it. The anger and hate from Susan and Tiffany has increased incredulously.
It’s like before now they just hated me and wanted me to suffer but now, I think they want me to suffer bitterly and literally have me for dead.
They’re always picking on me at the slighted opportunity, cursing and accusing me of using voodoo on Alex because ordinarily he wouldn’t want anything to do with me.
How pathetic!!
Alex had always stood by me whenever Susan and Tiffany tired to humiliate me but that did not stop them at all, especially when he wasn’t around.
But I guess it’s just one of those things, although their words did not hurt me much as they did before.
I wouldn’t trade any of this for nothing. If I had to go through talk this pain just so I could feel Alex’s love then I would.
I would do it over and over again.
“So tell me, who has got you smiling like that?”. Gina teased and wiggled her brow playfully at me.
I was at work and behind the counter with Gina today. It was getting close to our closing time and the place was slowing down.
“Nothing”. I shrugged as I tried to hide my blushing face with my hands.
“Yeah right.” She scoffed. “I guessing it has nothing to do with the handsome and incredibly sexy man that came here the other day”. She said as she winked at me.
I laughed at his silly behavior and turned away from to clean up the counter. “Gina please stop it”.
She waved her hands up frantically and leaned on the counter facing me. “Never. Why did you not tell me that you were married to Alex Dankworth. That is something huge love”. She pressed.
“I’m sorry, it’s not just something I would tell someone on the first meeting.” I reasoned.
“That you are married to the Alex Dankworth is not something you’ll go around telling people.” She scoffed sarcastically. “If it were me in your shoes, I would have his name branded on my forehead for everyone to see that I’m his”. She said dreamily.
“You’re just overly dramatic, I shouldn’t expect less from you”. I laughed.
“Whatever you say dear. So tell me what’s it like being with him”. She asked doe eyed as she fired me with questions.
“It’s alright”. I said with a smile small.
“Yeah, that smile doesn’t say ‘it’s alright”. She teased me.
“Gina!!”. I exclaimed as I was about to flee away from her before the sound of my phone ringing interrupted me.
I ruffled through the my apron and found my phone. “Hi”. I breathed out after placing the phone to my ear.
“Princess”. He was only one person who could call me that name with so much emotion in them. His deep sexy voice made the word sound even more beautiful than it is.
Alex had made it a habit to call me often when I’m at work. Not every day but every once in a while and I guess that’s what makes me crave him more.
“H- hi” I said again not knowing what else to say. He always seemed to have a way of messing with my senses.
His deep chuckle could be heard over the phone. “How are you doing?”. He asked.
“I’m fine. How are you?”. I said while biting my lips to stop my self from blabbing out nonsense.
He made me so nervous even over the phone when I could not see him. He still controlled every part of me.
“I’m fine princess”. He said with a smile in his voice. I could hear the sound of the smooth leather of his chair as he relaxed on it.
“Okay. Do you want something ” I asked quietly.
“Actually yes, I want you”. My breathe caught in my throat as soon as he said those words.
I just stood there holding the phone tightly against my ear, blushing profusely.
I wanted to scream on top of lungs how I’ve been dying to hear that from him. I wanted to tell him that he has me already and he will forever do.
But I didn’t. I just stayed quiet.
Words would never be able to do justice to what I feel for this man.
“I miss you Princess”. He continued after a while so silence.
If my heart was not already racing fast enough, I’m sure it was running 30 miles per second now.
I miss you too Baby. I screamed internally.
We had seen each other earlier today before leaving separately for work. But it already felt like we’ve been apart for months.
I guess that’s what love does to you.
Alex had made sure that Mark took me to work and picked me up despite my refusal but he was adamant about it. He was a really stubborn person.
I could hear the sound of his soft breathing but I’m sure all he was hearing from my side was my sharp breathing and hammering chest.
Did Alex Dankworth just confess to me now that he wants me!!! And he fucking misses me.
If I’m dreaming someone should just fucking wake me up already.
“What happened “. Gina mouthed to me as she kept staring at me the whole time. I guess this is enough proof that I’m not dreaming.
“Say something princess, I called to hear your pretty voice”. He chuckled.
“Okay”.
Really, that was all I could come up with. Please bash my head with a deadpan already.
He laughed again. “I’ll see you tonight. We have a lot to discuss”.
“Alright Alex”. I responded to him.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“See you soon”. He waited for me to respond with another quiet okay before the call went dead.
Phew!!
“I guess someone is getting laid tonight”. Gina wiggled her brows teasingly at me.
“No, I’m not”. I shrieked out embarrassed. “Were you listening to me conversation”. I cocked a brow at her.
“Not exactly”. She responded and looked away from me pretending to be so engrossed in scrubbing the shiny counter.
“I’m sure you did not cause if you did, you have heard him say ‘we have a lot to discuss’ and not we’re having sex tonight.” I scoffed sarcastically before Gina and I busted into a laughter.
“Yeah, I guess it’s going to be a very serious conversation”. She teased again and used her two hands to form a clapping position.
“Gina!, you slut!”. I shrieked and ran out to the back of the shop.
I wonder what Alex wants to discuss now. All these kind of things make me nervous.
I guess i would just have to wait until tonight. It’s not like I had a choice.
