LAYLA
Instead of taking us to a restaurant. Theo drove us to a skyscraper and we rode the elevator to the
top floor where a penthouse was located. When I asked where we were, he told me that he bought
this penthouse close to Alpha Alexander’s ce so he coulde and stay here as long as he
wanted and also because he didn’t want to stay in a hotel whenever he
came.
He didn’t say it, but I knew he bought this ce because he wanted to be close to A and me. My
heart melted as we entered thevish penthouse. A jumped all around, running from one corner
to another with the excuse of checking out her friend’s new house.
Theo ordered the dinner from the restaurant in the building. After we were done eating, a chocte
cake was brought up which made A happy instantly. Theo knew A was crazy about chocte.
Chocte ice cream, chocte cake, chocte milk-She can’t resist any of that.
We celebrated the start of A’s new journey in school together and then settled down on the
couch in the sitting area to watch Frozen, which was my Baby’s favorite movie. Theo turned off the
lights, letting the light of the screen and the scenery dimly illuminate everything,
Now, we three are sitting on the big couch staring at the screen as Elsa runs away from her castle
and starts her journey toward making an ice castle for herself.
Theo is sitting in the otherer, with his arm spread over the headrest. The tips of his fingers
slightly touch my shoulder, making me shudder from time to time. A is sitting in the middle,
munching on the popcorn as she giggles excitedly at some scenes in the movie that excite her.
When we are together like this, it doesn’t feel weird. Theo gives me a semnce of stability that I
crave in life and I don’t think he even notices that Something about him is just soforting. His
whole existence is a big block of p peace.
A’s light snores bring me out of my thoughts. I nce at her to find her resting her head against
Theo’s waist, sleeping soundly. Usually, she doesn’t sleep unless I pat her but with Theo, she finds
the same peace I do.
*
Let me put her to bed.” He whispers carefully so she doesn’t wake up.
I nod, shooting him a soft smile. Theo scoops A’s small body in his arms and carries her up the
flight of stairs.
I pull my legs to my chest and rest my chin on my knee as my gaze drifts to the clock hanging
above the screen. It’s already half past ten. Alpha Alexander asked me to return by eleven.
Even if we set out now, I don’t think we will reach so I guess, we are staying here tonight. He can
get angry all he wants. I don’t need to care.
Theoes back after tucking A in bed and plops down beside me. My heart misses a beat as I
sneak a quick nce his way and find him dressed in only a white button-down shirt and ck
cks. His sleeves are folded back, showcasing his thick arms and the bulging veins. Undoubtedly,
he can make anyone’s panties drop and I don’t want to be an exception to
that
Do
you
want ice cream?” He asks.
I blink, moving my gaze to his face. My cheeks flush when I realize he has been staring at me all
along and he probably knew I was checking him out.
I thought men offer alcohol to women when they are alone. “I grin, cing my elbow on the
headrest and leaning my head in my palm.
–
You don’t like alcohol. You like ice cream. So, if I want to be on your good side, I should offer you
ice cream, right?” He

smiles, keeping his eyes on me.
You are good at this. “I shake my head, grinning.
I have to be. It’s not easy to impress a beautiful girl like you. I have to give you what you want to
grab your attention. “He replies yfully.
I lick my lips. His eyes drop to my lips as he gulps. Heat spreads in my cheeks once more.
“You always do that. “I whisper, gently grabbing his hand which is resting on his thigh.
What?”Theo drags his gaze to my eyes
You always give others what they want, Theo. When I needed protection, you offered it to me and
asked for nothing in return. When I needed a friend, you became one. When I wanted someone to
take care of A, you stepped up. From the moment I met you all those years ago, that’s all you
have been doing. “I can spend the rest of my life being grateful to him and it still won’t be enough.
“I wanted to do those things for you.” He belittles his efforts as always and gives me a soothing
smile that makes my heart s k i p another beat.
And? What else do you want, Theo? What do you want the most right now?” I caress the back of
his hand with my thumb.
Theo’s eyes search my face, lingering a little too long on my lips. His smile gets reced with an
intense look as he runs his tongue across his bottom lip.
“I want to kiss you, La. Can I?” He asks softly.
“Kiss me.” I nod.
He pulls his hand out from underneath mine and cups my cheek before our lips meet. He kisses me
slowly, taking his time to suck and nibble on my lips gently. His grip on my cheek remains careful as
he consciously makes sure to not hurt me.
We pull apart to breathe for a moment before I grab his cor and tug him in again. I kiss him hard,
and he follows my lead before shoving his tongue between my lips and exploring my mouth
delicately. I moan as I pull him into me more.
The harsh lips, and devouring kisses that scorch my soul sh before my eyes, making me close
my eyes tightly. I don’t want to think about Alpha Alexander. It’s only about Theo and me.
Theo and me, I remind myself as Iy down on the couch and he hovers above me.
His hand lowers to my thighs, wrapping my legs around his torso. I breathe over his lips as we pull
back.
Do you feelfortable, La? “Theo whispers, pressing his forehead against mine. Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
I open my eyes and peer into his soft green eyes. This is the man I should always think about. He
cares so much about me.
Touch me, Theo. “I utter, finding my cheeks flushing under his stare
Theo’s Adam’s apple bobs down. My heartbeat esctes, making me tremble under him.
Are you sure? His breaths caress m
my wet lips.
“Yes. “I swallow.
Theo hikes my dress up as he stares into my eyes. My toes curl as his fingers touch my panties. His
touch is feathery soft but a rough and demanding touch reigns my mind and makes me breathless. I
imagine Theo’s fingers to be Alpha Alexander’s callous fingers that f u c k me as if he wants to bring
me to my
knees.

Chapter 42
Theo rubs small circles on my c l i t with his thumb as his lips find their way to my neck, kissing,
nibbling, and sucking my flesh. My back arches as his thumb puts more pressure.
But it doesn’t feel right.
As long as I am caged in my fantasy, imagining a huge man atop me, plunging his fingers deep
inside me, and making me take it hard, I find pleasure. But when I face reality and find myself under
Theo’s body, something goes wrong in my core.
Bile rises to my mouth when I realize how horrible I am right now, I can’t do this to Theo or myself.
This is-
I gasp as a loud knock sounds on the door. It’s like someone wants to break the door down and
come inside. Whoever it is. doesn’t even bother to wait a moment or never tries to ring the bell and
bangs on the door again.
Theo retracts his face and hovers above me. His eyes move towards the door before narrowing.
–
Let me get that door. “He whispers as he looks back at me.
I nod meekly, finding no words in my mouth due to the messed up conflict I am in. Theo gets up and
moves towards the door while I stay on the couch, regaining my breath and not even bothering to fix
my dress.
now?”
* What the f u c k do you think you are doing right now! Theo shouts.
My heart drums in my cars as I sit up on the couch and nce over my shoulder to see who it is.
My soul almost departs. from my body when I find Alpha Alexander standing behind me in all his
glory with his eyes spitting fire.
Fear grips my insides. I jump to my feet, only to have those murderous eyes trail down my legs.
Realization dawns upon me. My dress is still hiked up.
“Alpha Alexander, “Theo hisses, taking a threatening step towards the man who has barged inside
like he owns the ce.
You.” Alpha Alexander ignores him and points his finger at me. Get our daughter ande out right
now.
“You can’t just–
“Theo. Don’t, please. We should head back. “I cut in because I still remember Alpha Alexander’s
threat and after seeing him: kill an Alpha heir so easily before, I don’t think I want to take the risk
“But La-
BER
“Please. “I grimace, looking at Theo’s face which is turning red with anger and hurt.
I can tell he is disappointed because I am choosing to listen to Alpha Alexander but he doesn’t
know I am doing this to save his life. I steal ast nce at the scary figure standing in the middle of
the sitting area before I fix my dress and run up the stairs to pick up my Baby.
When Ie down with A, my gaze flickers to the wall clock which indicates that it’s only been
five minutes past eleven.
My heart clenches as I realize he knew I won’t listen to him so he came here to make sure I know
who holds the power.
