ALESSA

When I woke up in the morning, Stephen wasn't beside me on the bed. The sound of shower running was coming from the bathroom, made me realize Stephen didn't leave for his work yet. I looked up at the clock on the bedside table to see it was almost 7am. Sighing, I slowly removed the blanket and walked towards the closet. I was quickly getting dressed when I saw Stephen walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, showing his perfect v-line. My eyes followed his movement around the room as he walked into the closet and I saw him smirk as he caught my eyes on him.

"Good morning, love." He spoke softly and started to button up his shirt.

"Good morning," and with that I walked into the bathroom.

I brushed my teeth and washed my face before I started to fix my hair. I was brushing my hair when I saw Stephen walking in, already dressed in his suit. I ignored him and focused on what I was doing but suddenly Stephen walked toward me and wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me into his body softly and nuzzled his face into the crook of my neck. His arms were warm and gentle around me. I wanted to push him away but I didn't want to ruin his mood.

Or maybe his arms were so warm around me that I didn't want him to let go.

"Do you want to go out someday?" He asked softly, staring at me through the mirror.

I frowned my eyebrows, being confused at his question. After the last night incident, I noticed a sudden change in him. Was he trying to act nice so it would be easier to submit myself to him?

"Yes or no, Alessa?" He demanded.

"Where do you want to take me?" I asked nervously.

"You tell me. Where do you want to go?" He murmured with a small smile on his face.

I gulped and I knew my heart was beating fast. When Stephen was trying to be nice, it meant there was something bad going to happen. He was being nice to me when he let me escape during the party. He was being nice to that man last night who wanted to force himself on me before he killed him.

"I...I don't know..." I stuttered.

"Hmm..maybe we should go for shopping. You don't have enough clothes anyway. Or maybe we can go to some random places or park if you want." He suggested.

"Okay." I agreed.

Stephen smiled before pushing my hair to the side. He started to place wet kisses along the length of my neck. He kissed, sucked the spot softly.

Surprisingly, I melted into his embrace.

I found myself pushing my body into his. Finding my sweet spot behind my ear, he teased me with his tongue. Grazing the sensitive skin with his teeth, he chuckled when I pushed myself more into his hard body.

He was slowly seducing me. My mind reminded me that it was wrong. I wanted to push him away, slap him for touching me that way but my body acted differently.

My head fell back when he dragged his lips to my neck and sucked on the tortured skin. I felt his hot breath in my wet skin that tingled me to my core.

His hand went down at the end of my dress, as he slowly pushed my dress upward and exposed my thighs. His fingers traced my skin upward until he reached my panties. He pressed his fingers lightly right over my heated core.

"Stephen..." I whimpered and squirmed in his arms, feeling his length harden against my back.

And this happened all of a sudden. One moment, he was teasing me through my panties and the next moment, he pushed me away as if I disgusted him. He ran his fingers through his hair and over his mouth before he looked away from me.
