ALANA

Double Crossed

Alexis Levan's POV

It is the morning that everyone was waiting for. I feel my eyelids suddenly drooping, now that it is the time to wake up. I carefully remove Hayden's heavy arm from my waist and rest it on his side. He's still sound asleep.

Getting out of bed, I quickly grab my undergarments to cover my naked body and then, look through my small suitcase for some fresh clothes. After that, I hop in the shower and let the steaming water relax every muscle of mine.

Today, we will meet Alana's source and release all the dirty information we have on Eros. I would finally be able to rush back home, to New York. It would be a brand new start... with Hayden.

AND...

I won't ever have to see the cocky, hot-headed Alana again!

Yes, I won't see her again.

Ever...

Why does it feel strangely melancholic, that I won't be seeing her again? It is for the best, isn't it? Me, never coming across her again. Isn't it how it should be? How it was meant to be?

Immediately, I feel the hot water give me tingling sensations.

That's not the water, Alexis.

They're someone's hands.

The pair of hands, tighten their grip on my waist and with a harsh pull, I am pressed against a body.

A woman's body.

A naked woman's body.

"I think you didn't enjoy last night with the robo-boy, as much as you would have enjoyed with me" she whispers in my ear, with that raspy and taunting voice.

"I think you're making assumptions" I reply confidently.

She brings her mouth near my neck and I feel her breath on my skin. Did I mention 'confidence'? Yes, it's all gone now.

And she kisses me on the shoulder... but doesn't stop right there. Not even for a moment. Her kisses travel from my shoulder to my neck.

"You should..." I close my eyes. My body begging her to continue, but my heart begging her to stop this right away.

"Stop?" she asks me. Just when I'm about to give her a yes, she grabs my wrist, pins it behind my back and pushes me against the glass wall of the shower.

Why am I loving this?

"Should I stop, then?" she questions, and presses her body against mine, taking my ear-lobe between her teeth and biting me, licking me.

"Do you really want this to stop, Alexis?" she lowered her voice to a very dangerous level, when she said my name. She is making me question my own desires.

I moan, as my eyes fly open. I am not pinned against the wall. There is no woman behind me. No one biting my earlobe or kissing my neck.

I'm alone.

And fucking turned on.

It was all going on in my head. She is not here. Alana is not here.

Holy shit! No, it wasn't Alana in my head. It was just... some woman. Some woman, whom I don't care about!

But my body is not lying. I feel my vagina burning. Please, you can't be serious, you little shit!

I roll my eyes at myself and my thirsty body. Turning off the shower, I head out and change into fresh undergarments, a white short and a black tank-top, with a large, white, off-shoulder shirt to finish off my look.
