Kitten

Chapter 31: In your arms

As a thank you for reaching 3 million reads on Stolen to be his Princess, here is another chapter xoxo

Lily's POV:

"Here, you can take the floor. Here's your blanket and pillow". Alexander's lips quirked up into a smirk showing me that he had no intention of sleeping on the floor, but that's what he gets for trying it on with me when my dad was not even metres away.

Alexander and I had brushed our teeth and straight after I had escorted him to my large bedroom.

"You've got another thing coming if you think I'm sleeping on the floor. The only place I'm sleeping is on your bed with you wrapped up in my arms". Alexander's voice held no space for compromises.

I swallowed down my playfulness as I watched Alexander lift his T-shirt over his head before letting the loose material fall to the floor.

"Holy shit" I mumbled to myself as I let my eyes roam over his tempting torso. He was certainly a man who took care of himself. Light beamed off his perfectly defined 8 pack. I didn't even think you could get an 8 pack, but Alexander was living proof that it was possible.

"See something you like kitten?".

"Nope" I said confidently as I turned to plump up the pillows. I needed to do something to distract myself from ripping his clothes off and having my way with him.

A squeal escaped my mouth as I felt a pair of strong arms worm their way around my waist and pull me up against a very hard yet incredibly warm chest.

"Don't be shy kitten, it all belongs to you. If you want to touch me, all you have to do is say the word".

I closed my eyes tightly as I felt Alexander's lips press against the soft skin of my neck and slowly kissed his way down to my collarbone.

"A-Alexander, stop" I moaned lowly not wanting my father to hear.

"No" he growled as his hands now started to move on their own accord.

Alexander spun me around and crashed his lips against mine as he pushed me up on my bedroom wall. But unlike all the other times we had kissed, this was passionate to say the least but not dominating. His kiss spoke a thousand words and shared a thousands feelings. He stole my breath away from me like thief in the night. But I'd gladly surrender to his criminal ways and let him take me down with him.

"You're so cute when your flustered kitten. Now let's get these clothes off you".

Even though I had recently gotten out of an abusive relationship, it felt so perfect being with someone like Alexander. He had his head screwed on properly and knew exactly what he wanted. He brought me a new found hope. He was always complimenting me at every opportunity. A rush of adrenaline burst through every vessel in my body every time I was with him and I loved it. He made me strong, he gave me confidence and I felt on top of the world with him.

I stood there in front of him with a wicked smile on my lips as he let his large fingertips trail against the hem of my T-shirt.

Alexander slowly lifted the top up and soon enough he had lifted the material off from my skin.

"You're so fucking beautiful mon amour".

Alexander cupped my chin and lifted my head up so my eyes were staring straight into his. Those eyes, those truly magnificent eyes that I got lost in every time I looked into them.

"Gracias, oh shoot that's Spanish".

"Way to ruin a moment kitten" he chuckled before pecking my lips with his before pulling away.

"Sorry, languages are not my thing. But I had no idea you speak french".

Alexander turned around giving me the opportunity to slip my bra off discretely and get myself into some pyjamas.

"There's a lot you don't know about me Kitten. But we have plenty of time to get to know each other better. Just hurry your cute ass up so I can cuddle you".

Slipping on a pair of cute pyjama shorts and a long sleeved top I jumped into bed and moved myself against the wall so Alexander could squeeze in next to me.

"Alright Mr impatient, I'm ready for you".

"By ready I hope you're naked".

"Oh my gosh Alexander shut up you perv".

His husky chuckle echoed around the room as he turned around to face me. When his eyes landed on me tucked up in the bed his eyes instantly softened and stood silently staring at me.

"Are you coming or what?" I snapped at him playfully unimpressed at how intimidated he was making me feel under his gaze.

He walked slowly towards me and slipped his large body under the thick duvet cover.

Alexander huffed after making himself comfortable and I laughed louder than expected seeing his feet literally pressing against the end of the bed.

"God damn it" he sighed before turning over to face me with an uncomfortable expression.

"I knew you were tall, but damn, you're literally the size of my bed. Maybe you should just sleep on the couch"-

"Like hell I am" he growled as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me so we were now chest against chest.

"It's fine kitten. As long as I have you in my arms. But perhaps tomorrow you should stay at mine. I have a king size bed. Plenty of space for all sorts of positions" he winked and I slapped his chest at his cheeky suggestions.

"Behave".

We laid peacefully in each other's arms letting the silence ring through the room. It was not an uncomfortable silence, no, it was very peaceful and comforting. Alexander had his arm over my waist and drew circles on my lower back where the area of my pyjama top had risen.

"It feels so strange sharing a bed with a man other than Matthew".

Alexander stared down at me with a frown as he stroked away the loose strands that had fallen out of my messy bun.

"You've never been with anyone other than him?".

"I shook my head and stared down at Alexander's beautiful tan chest and stroked my finger against his defined pectoral abs.

"Never. I was with him since I was a teenager. He was my first everything".

"Kitten, look at me".

Alexander could feel the mood sullen as I refused to look at him. I loved being with Alexander, but a part of me felt like I was the one cheating.

"Baby, please".

Giving in to his pleas, my eyes slowly rose up to meet Alexander's mesmerising eyes and smiled sadly at him.

"Kitten, I probably know what you're thinking. I know that you two were childhood sweethearts and I know he meant so much to you, but I want you to know that you're allowed to move on. He hurt you so much baby. I can see that it's killing you so much. You deserve happiness and Matthew once gave that to you. But he made his choice. He chose to throw away someone so beautiful and perfect. You need to move on and I will spend every second of our time together showing you how truly perfect you are. I promise you Kitten that I'll always be by your side".

Alexander stroked away the tears I didn't even realise I was shedding and pulled me tighter than before.

I rested my head against his chest and listened to his steady heartbeat as he stroked the back of my head like an owner would with their little pet. It was such a comforting feeling and I would happily lay here for days like this feeling safe and secure wrapped up in Alexander's arms.
