*LAST UPDATED JUNE 2021* "Think you don't want me?" He asks, running his hand under my dress and along my inner thigh; amusement laced in his words and features, as he smirks down at me.

Truth to be told; I feared the proximity - or lack of it - between us. One inch and his lips would be on mine. One inch and his toned chest would be pressed against mine. One inch and his hand would be closer to where he wants it. "Let me show you how much you do." His fingers linger on my lacy underwear as he closes the distance between us, holding me up. ❃ ❃ ❃ Alpha Alexander - the man known for overthrowing an existing Alpha, something never done in history before by someone his age.
