Mr. and Mrs. Executive

Chapter 5

The both of us pant hard from our exertion, and I try to catch my breath as fast as possible.

Sitting up straighter, Alexander pulls me back into him and places his hands, one on my waist, the other cupping my cheek.

"You know I love you right?" He asks tenderly, leaning forward and placing a soft kiss on my forehead.

I nod, "I love you too."

"Good, he says, the corner of his mouth lifting into a slight smile before he turns serious again, "then maybe you can understand why I can't actually tell you anything."

My reaction is instantaneous and I soon find myself leaning back as far as possible whilst sitting on his lap.

A difficult feat I assure you.

"What do you mean?" I snap at him.

"Nora."

Just from that one simply way he says my name, I know he won't be telling my anything anytime soon.

Glaring up at him with all the distaste I can muster, I throw him a deadly look as I scramble up from his lap, grabbing my silk robe I quickly tug it on.

"Nora listen to me."

Not listening to him, I march out of the office, tugging my robe back on while I'm at it.

Heading up to the room, I can hear  Alexander's boots scuffling against the floor as he comes after me.

Entering our bedroom I slam the door behind me. Not bothering to turn around, I head straight into the shower, anger rolling of me in waves.

********
Stepping out of the bathroom with a towel securely wrapped around me, I barely give Alexander a passing glance as he sits on our bed, his hair wet probably from taking a shower in another of the rooms.

Marching into the closet, I wear comfortable pajamas and then get into bed, too tired to even argue with him.

That certainly does not mean I won't be holding a grudge.

Slipping under the covers, I turn off the light and ignore Alexander as he too gets into bed.

"Nora, come here." He murmurs in the quiet dark room.

Not bothering to give him a verbal response, I edge even further away from him, nearly on the edge of the bed.

I can feel the ruffling of the sheets being pulled back and forth until a warm arm snakes round my waist pulling me into a warm hard body.

Grunting in disapproval, I try to scoot away from him.

"C'mon Nora don't be like that." He mumbles into my ear.

Turning my head, I glare at him before scooting further away once again.

"Nora?" Alexander growls now sitting up in bed.

I sigh in content as I nuzzle into the warm comfortable sheets.

All too soon, my warm comfortable bubble bursts as the sheets are ripped away from my body.

Looking at the culprit, Alexander stares back at me, almost glaring.

What the hell did he have to be angry about?

I should be making him sleep on the couch for playing me like that.

Turning away from him without a reply gives him all the answer he needs.
