“You’re right. Tonight wasn’t a date. When I take you on a date, it won’t be with other people.” Alexander brushed my face with the tips of his fingers, and my legs trembled so much that I was worried I was going to copse to the floor. “I want you all to myself when we go on a date.”

    Before I could even think of a response, Alexander’s mouth was on mine. I gasped as he threaded his hands through my hair and slid his warm tongue to touch mine. My heart mmed against my rib cage as our lips molded together, and his hands roamed my body, as if he needed to touch every single inch of my skin.

    On their own ord, my hands untucked Alexander’s shirt out of his pants, and I shuddered when I felt how hot the skin of his muscled back was.

    He groaned against my mouth and began to kiss my neck, devouring my sensitive skin. All I wanted was more of Alexander. More of everything that he was making me feel at that moment.

    And as I reached for my keys to open my apartment, I knew that was exactly why I had to stop this. If Alexander and I spent the night together, everything would just be moreplicated in the morning.

    As I began to pull away, Alexander’s phone rang, and it was like someone had poured cold water over us, breaking the spell.

    I blushed as I pulled away from him.

    His hair was disheveled, and his cheeks were flushed and red. He scrambled to silence his phone, but I was already backing up and putting my apartment key into the lock.

    “Wait, Olivia-”

    “Goodnight, Alexander,” I said and shut my door.

    *Author*

    Alexander let out a long breath and leaned against the wall. He was still rock hard, and all he could smell was Olivia’s floral scent.

    His phone was still ringing, so he answered it before even looking at who was calling.

    “Hi, Son,” said his father, Neil.

    Alexander frowned. He wouldn’t have answered his dad’s call if he had

    known it was him.

    “Hi, Dad.”

    “I just got off the phone with Stanley,” his dad said briskly. “The manager of your apartment building just called him and told him that his daughter–Nora Cater–had been dropped off at your apartment. He wanted me to call you and see if you could take her home.”

    Alexander froze. “Are you sure he wants me to take her home? I don’t even know Stanley that well, and he trusts me to do that?”

    “Yes, Alexander,” Neil said, his voiceced with impatience. “I think I can be trusted with rying a simple message.”

    “I’ll take care of it,” Alexander said with a curt tone, then hung up before his dad could say anything more.

    Alexander would take Nora home himself, but he didn’t want her to get upset when the man that she thought was her brother couldn’t stay with her. So, he called Richard and instructed him to take Nora home.

    Thankfully, he hadn’t left for Ld yet, so he was avable. Alexander made it clear that he knew she was intellectually disabled and made sure that Richard would stay with her until Nora was safe. He knew that he could trust Richard with this job.

    After onest look at Olivia’s apartment door, Alexander headed for the elevator in need of an ice–cold shower.

    Olivia was still leaning against her apartment door, breathing heavily from their kiss. She was wondering if she had made a mistake when she pulled away from Alexander. Should she have invited him in?

    She stayed upter than she should with that question bouncing around her mind.

    The next morning, Olivia woke up from a text message from Alexander that she had received in the middle of the night.

    ‘I hope you get enough rest, babe. When you wake up, go upstairs. Mike will have made your favorite foods for breakfast.‘

    She couldn’t help smiling down at her phone for a long time, her heart warming from Alexander’s sweet, thoughtful message.

    But then, she made herself snap back to reality. She wasn’t going to allow herself to fall for a man because of food. A meal that he didn’t even prepare.

    As Olivia threw off her covers to start the day, she vowed to herself that she was going to be a ruthless woman. Whatever was between Alexander and her was pure lust. That was all.

    But five minutester, she caught herself smiling down at his message again.
