Wonder in Underland

Chapter 10

~~Snow's POV~~

Eventually, Alex tired himself out and he grew quiet in my arms. All that was heard was his uneven breathing and a few sniffles here and there.

I waited for what seemed like forever, comforting him in my arms, before Alex slowly let go of me and pulled back.

I looked down and met his puffy red eyes.

"I-I didn't mean to..." he whispered wiping his face with the back of his hand, smearing tears across his cheeks and face.

I reached out and took his hands in mine.

"Alex, it's okay. I believe you. You just got upset, right?" I asked staring straight into his eyes.

He nodded.

"Then please tell me what happened. I need to know." I told him, gently rubbing his fingers with mine.

He seemed to calm down a bit as he took several deep breaths before opening his mouth once more.

"I-I was washing him, like he had me, and he..." he paused as his face flushed and his hand moved to cover the deep purple hickey I now noticed on his neck. "...he-um..."

I reached up and gently brushed his hand away.

His neck was moist, probably saliva, with bite marks around the afflicted area. The hickey itself was a deep dark purple and blue color with some red around the edges.

Overall, seems like Chester really lost control of the cat this time.

"Okay, so was that it? You were upset that he made a sexual move on you?"

"No no that's not it!" He fired out before he resumed his blush and looked down. "I mean, not really. He just said that I smelled like someone...and then he said my sister's name..." he mumbled the last part as his eyes locked onto his feet.

"Alice?" I spouted out, obviously confused.

He nodded once again.

"What does Alice have to do with his sexual desires and impulses towards you?" I questioned out loud.

Alex shrugged. "I have no idea."

Interesting.

Alex eyes widened and suddenly looked up to me.

"Snow! That ring he has! It has an 'A' on it!" He exclaimed.

Already my mind was piecing the pieces together.

"A for Alice. But why does he have a ring for Alice?"

His gaze softened and his eyes fluttered.

"Did he...did he plan to propose to her?" He asked, eyes clouding up once more.

Why is he reacting this way? Is he sad that Chester liked his sister?

A lightbulb went off over my head.

Or is he jealous?

My own heart fluttered at the thought.

Alex...likes males?

I shook the thought away, silently scolding myself for thinking such things.

I focused back on Alex and saw him furiously wiping at his eyes which had become wet once more.

A small smile formed on my lips as my eyes slowly fell down his naked body. They immediately picked back up to his face before they landed on his lower-half.
