"Good morning beautiful".

I honestly doubted his choice of words. I was not beautiful in the mornings. No. I looked like a complete mess. Especially after a day/evening with Alexander and his dominant ways.

"Oh my word what time is it?" I mumbled whilst rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

"It's 8:45 in the morning kitten".

Even though my eyes weren't focused on him, I knew he was currently smirking at me as he probably guessed the thoughts that were swarming around in my head.

"We slept that early? And all the way through. How?".

I let out a squeak as a pair of muscly arms snaked around my waist and pulled my body until I rested on top of his naked torso.

"Well, we did go for hours and many many rounds. Although I should be more tired seeing as I did most of the work".

Alexander winked up at me as he finished the end of his sentence.

"And who's fault is that? You told me I had to do as you said and you instructed me to lay still".

"And my kitten was a good girl and followed every order that her master gave her".

"S-shut up" I said whilst playfully smacking Alexander on his muscly chest.

Alexander carefully brushed the loose strands of hair out of my face and ran his thumb over my lip softly.

I loved the way Alexander stared at me. He made me feel like I was the most important person in his life.

"Where's my phone, shit my dad".

Jumping up out of bed in only my underwear I gazed around the room utterly confused as to where I left it.

"Baby, come back to bed. Call him back later".

Alexander grabbed my arm and attempted to pull me back but I shook my head. I put the call off once, I had to call him back.

"No Alex, I need to call him back. Clearly it's important".

Throwing on Alexander's hoodie, I began to turn the room upside down and search for the small device.

"He calls you a lot. Your family must mean a lot to you".

Alexander's tone suddenly turned rather cold as he began to speak of family.

"Of course they are. And they always will be". Sensing this was an uncomfortable topic for Alexander, I stopped hunting for my phone and walked back over to the bed.

My heart began to ache as my eyes fell to Alexander's emotionless face.

"You never told me what happened to your family".

"You never asked" he snapped back before sitting up in the bed so his legs hung over the side.

"Well, I'm asking now" I muttered nervously crawling myself closer to him.

"I have no family. They were both taken from me when I was young".

My fingers moved their way across his tanned back desperate to comfort him. But he was closed off and distant. This was a casket that he had locked away for quite some time. But now he was baring it all before me.

"Alexander, I'm so"-

"I don't need your sympathy Kitten. It happened years ago".

Wrapping my arms around his large back, I rested my chin on his shoulder and stared at his sad face.
