Chapter Twelve

 I sat on the couch and drank some bourbon and cleaned the bunker a little. I heard a bunch of noise upstairs so I went up to check it and saw the guys carrying a bed. "What's going on?" I asked confused. "You don't have a bed down there. You can't sleep on the couch forever" Alexander replied. "Good timing brother... a-after we ate a large meal now you'll letting us carry this" Matthew struggled. "Baby can you move from the stairs?" Alexander asked and I quickly moved aside. I watched as the three muscular soldiers go through hell to get this bed down the stairs and into the bunker, and I enjoyed every last second of it.

After they put the bed in between the surveillance corner and the living area, it worked as a divider. "Mattress and clean sheets and pillows are upstairs. Help yourselves out" James grunted as he pushed me and ran upstairs. And before I could walk up to get them Alexander stops me and told me he'd do it.

I sat on the couch until he joined me. "Hi" I smiled at him. "Hi," he chuckled. "Can I kiss you now?" he asked looking at my eyes then my lips and back at my eyes. "If you want" my mouth curved into a smile. Alex and I leaned in and kissed, it seemed that we were both desperately waiting for this moment. Both of us started pulling each other into the kiss, and now I am on his lap, straddling him. Alex paired the kiss with a tight hug, knocking me out of breath so I tugged on his sweater and he pulled back. "Do you want me to stop?" he seemed like he was feeling guilty. "No the opposite but don't kill me in the process" I joked as I leaned in to kiss him again. He dominated the kiss and once again bit my lower lip, this time he took me by surprise and I didn't hold back my moan. After feeling his smirking into the kiss, content with himself, I started to kiss him from his lips to his collarbone. Determined to find his sweet spot. I nibbled his ear lobes and caressed the nape of his neck as he traced my body with his hands. I heard him groan multiple times but then I felt something underneath me. I glanced and saw his bulge had become more prominent. He had seen me glance and he pulled me back. A worried look on his face, "we'll take it slow okay? You should change. We need to sleep tomorrow we have lunch" he said as he got up. "Wait! Where are you going?" I asked confused as to why he stopped. "To get some fresh air, I'll join you soon," he said and walked out.

I changed into my comfy knitted crop top and short set and slipped under the covers of the bed. "My god this is comfortable" I spoke to myself. Ten minutes later Alexander walked in and took his sweater off and stood by the bed. He literally feels like a tower to me. And this is the first time I've seen his body this up close and MY GOD, he was sculpted by gods. "My eyes are up here" he made the same joke I made earlier in the storage room and I giggled. He joined me and we stared at each other.

"Did I do something wrong?" I asked because it was killing me. "No why?" he chuckled. " Why'd you stop then?" I blinked and he sighed. "I don't want to push you" he spoke low. "What do you mean?" I asked confused. "For what you've been through... I didn't wanna push until you were comfortable" he took his gaze away from me. And I just smiled at how soft he is around me. "Look at me... have you ever since we've met saw me sleeping with anyone around? Even kids? And why no one argued that I get my own room alone? It is because I don't trust anyone, whenever I went to sleep. I only trusted my gut feeling, like with Haya, Lewis, Reem, Wadha, the boys and especially you. I don't why or how or when I started feeling this comfortable and safe around you but I do. And I'm happy that I do because you are who you are." I smiled softly at him as his gaze softened. "So don't you worry about that. If there is something I promise I'll say it" I added and he pulled in toward him and made me sleep on his chest and I wrapped my hands around him as if we were hugging.

We didn't realize that had fallen asleep without an alarm until James came down to wake us up. "HEY! Love birds, do you realize what time is it?" James yelled to wake us up and it worked. "Jesus James" Alex grunted as he stretched. While I was sleeping I turned the other way to sleep more comfortably, giving Alex my back. "IT IS 11" he yelled again and I groaned covering my whole face into the pillow. "Shit we gotta check everything before Victor comes. Princess?" Alexander nudged me a little, "NO! I'm tired and I wanna sleep. Leave me alonee" I begged. "We can't we have Victor to deal with and after that you could sleep all you want to" he tried to convince me. "Pleaseee" I cried out. "Come on" he pulled the blanket away from me and the cold air hit me.
