The Devil's Thirst Trap

Chapter 14

"Aren't you going to do anything about that Alex?", Sabrina said as she wrapped her arms around Alex from behind.

Alex held both his fists so tight that his knuckles turned white.

"Get your dirty hands off me right now.", he commanded in the deadliest and scariest voice ever which made her instantly remove her hands and walk away.

Sabrina was frustrated, angry, and jealous. Not once when they were together, did he show that kind of jealousy or anger when she was with another man, he treated her coldly. Alexander only dated her for the convenience of business, nothing more-nothing less. It was just a business proposal.

Alexander just stormed away into his office and decided to do his work, he kept aside because he wanted to spend time with 'someone', but unfortunately....someone showed up and ruined it. He always knew how sneaky and sly Sabrina was, that was one of the reasons why it didn't work out and he hated her so much.

He always considered everybody else dirty, even though it was ironic that he was a vampire. He hated the touch of 'humans' on his skin. But...with Zoey...he felt different, her touches ... felt sweet to him, just then he started to soothe around his neck and collarbone, where she touched him previously.

Meanwhile

Zoey had a nice steamy shower after the good workout she thought she had, but all her mind could ever focus on for the whole entire day was him. Alex. Even though Damien was close to her, his touch was never the same as Alex's. Her mind was filled with Alex and she had no idea why. It made her feel vulnerable, but she loved it...leaving her guard down for once.

Zoey went out of the bathroom and started to change into her casual clothes and thought about what she could do to talk to Alex and make him a bit happy and pleased with her.

"What the hell! This isn't me...Why am I so worried about how Alex sees me...", she muttered under her breath as she walked in a straight line, up and down her room.

Just then, Zoey came up with a brilliant idea. She decided to bake something special for Alex since he was in his office all day. She stacked the tray of cookies neatly as she walked slowly to Alex's office but soon stopped in her tracks as she heard a voice that made her shiver.

"Hello, Zoey."

Just then Zoey turned her head in shock to see Sabrina.

"Hey Sabrina.", she said as she continued to walk.

Zoey was about to knock on the door until she heard Sabrina say something, "I wouldn't do that if I was you.", Sabrina commanded Zoey.

"What do you want Sabrina?You and I both know why you're here.", Zoey said as she held the platter tight to her.

"Oh...and what is it?", Sabrina said walking up to her.

"You're using him for your convenience.I just hope he's not too dumb to not see your plans, it would really be a pity for a handsome face as him to be dumb as hell.", Zoey said as she showed her the best puppy dog face ever and then walked up to her and whispered in her ear, "And it would be my greatest pleasure to see your downfall."

Zoey left Sabrina speechless, Sabrina didn't expect anything like this from Zoey.

"You should try using some makeup Zoey to cover up your pores.", she said crossing her arms.

"And you should try to use less because you look like a damn ghost, it makes sense why he pushes you away.", Zoey said as she walked away and knocked on his office door, leaving Sabrina speechless and frustrated.

(Looks are really deceiving...aren't it...?), both the girls thought to themselves.

Meanwhile

(I can smell cookies....I could hear Zoey's humming earlier on....or was she just making that for Damien...), Alexander thought to himself, but just then he heard voices outside, all thanks to his good hearing.

"What do you want Sabrina?You and I both know why you're here.", Zoey said as she held the platter tight to her.

"Oh...and what is it?", Sabrina said walking up to her.

"You're using him for your convenience.I just hope he's not too dumb to not see your plans, it would really be a pity for a handsome face as him to be dumb as hell.", Zoey said as she showed her the best puppy dog face ever and then walked up to her and whispered in her ear, "And it would be my greatest pleasure to see your downfall."

Zoey left Sabrina speechless, Sabrina didn't expect anything like this from Zoey.

"You should try using some makeup Zoey to cover up your pores.", she said crossing her arms.

"And you should try to use less because you look like a damn ghost, it makes sense why he pushes you away.", Zoey said as she walked away and knocked on his office door, leaving Sabrina speechless and frustrated.

(That's my good girl...), he thought as he started to smirk to himself and decided to sit back in his seat as he heard Zoey's footsteps approaching.

"H...hey....Alex...", Zoey muttered in a quiet voice hoping not to disturb him as she saw a smirk played along his lips.

"Oh...okay, I see.Bye and take care.", Alex said as he acted like he was on a call. "Zoey, how can I help you?", he said as he took long strides towards her and taking the platter away and leaving it on his desk.

She found herself walking backwards until her back hit the wall.

"Uhm...I...eh...I just wanted to bring that for you because....you know...I thought...", she said flustered as she muttered under her breath.

(Just now...you just gave Sabrina a mouthful. Now you can't even keep eye contact with me?), he thought as he chuckled to her reaction that he found cute as he saw her eyes was constantly kept on his lips.

"Do you need anything dear?", he said as he put both his hands on either side of the wall making sure she couldn't escape as he leaned in to her.

"...is....ips", she muttered under her breath which was barely audible to Alex.

"Hmm?", he said leaning in closer to her to hear what she was saying.

"..iss.....ips....",she mumbled as she started to look down at the ground instead.

"Zoey, I can't hear what you are saying, please speak more clearly.", he said as he was getting impatient.

"I WANT TO KISS YOUR LIPS!", she shouted at him and then gasped in shock.
