Joanne and I traveled around Paris until night and lost track of time. Joanne finally drove me home past ten at night. Alexander has returned to the mansion. He shook his head when Joanne and I came in and laughed like friends, carrying our groceries.

I'm tired, but traveling, taking care of myself and shopping together is a pleasure that is very hard for women to miss. So for this time I really enjoyed it after a long time I was busy with work and training at the Operations center.

I immediately went to my room to clean it myself. And want to rest because of fatigue. And of course unpacking groceries, it's hard to miss when you're done shopping. As I was arranging my groceries in the cupboard, someone knocked on the door. Did Alex think, it's past twelve o'clock. I opened the door. And he's standing there.

"You had fun today?" he entered as soon as I opened the door and immediately sat on the comfortable sofa in my room.

"Really" I smiled broadly. I packed some shoes and accessories into the wardrobe.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it" he smiled back at me.

"Thank you for everything. I haven't been walking around like this in a while, recent events have put our working hours outside normal limits."

I'm still tidying the last box of my groceries into the cupboard. Good thing he came when I had cleaned up all the dresses. I want the dress to be a surprise.

"You want to thank me. Come here"

I watched him stretch out my hands.

"You're asking for another kiss" I grinned.

"Yeah, stay on the cheek. I won't be naughty. As long as you do it right."

My Lord, why is he acting like a big bear that is cute to me. What if I really fell in love with him. I'm advancing. He immediately hugged my waist. Why am I so comfortable in his arms, even though we were close only a few days.

He never fell in love again. Joanne's words ring in my ears. What it was like to live forever and be lonely for decades. I feel sorry for him, I am getting sentimental, without realizing it catches his face. And I kissed his forehead softly.

It seems that Alexander was surprised by my kiss, as I was surprised by my courage. When I ended my kiss he hugged my waist tightly. I cried further, I hugged his back, allowed myself to stroke his fragrant hair and put my cheek on top of his head. I'm playing with fire!

"Did Joanne say anything about me?" he still hugs me.

"A little"

I was suffocating. This hug felt very comfortable, but I was so scared because I realized for Alexander that maybe this was just a lust closeness, a natural attitude that has been formed to approach and comfort every woman.

"You want to ask me something?"

He looked up at me with his eyes so close. I always can't get away from those mysterious gray eyes. And every time I close to him my heart beats crazy.

How can I escape this needle hole. I will definitely be devastated because I love him, but can not have him completely.

"Alex, why are you being so cute to me?" I ventured to ask.

"I don't know, because you're cute I guess. I didn't plan anything. Do you think I will ask you a reward, like taking you to my bed and making you a woman?" he read my mind and said it so vulgarly.

Alexander pulled me to sit on his lap. He looked at me so intensely that I didn't dare look him in the eye. I choked with the hot hue creeping up my cheeks.

"I will not touch you until our wedding day, my girl who always blushes. I make my promise to you now. Even though right now I resist the great urge to touch you and make you sigh while saying my name." I can't take my eyes from his eyes.

"Alex" why is he doing this to me.

"You don't need to be afraid of me. I'm not as jerk as you think, I still know how to respect a virgin and sincere girl like you. And I truly appreciate your sacrifice for your clan."

Alexander meant his words. The intonation of his voice was almost cold and it terrified me of his mental strength. But at the same time he was like a dark passion that made me want him even more.

"You want to say something?"

Now why do I feel like a student who is caught guilty. I just shook my head.

"Now it's my turn to ask. Why did you kiss me like that? What's in your mind? Joanne told you about me? " Alexander's eyes search for an answer.

"I…"

I really wasn't ready to answer his question. Should I say I feel sorry for him. That's an insult. Men are unlikely to accept pity. Or I started falling for him. I'm not ready or sure to admit that feeling yet.

His eyes locked mine in search of an answer. I was embarrassed and moved restlessly.

"I just got drift away" was the best answer I could find, I grinned widely hoping he would believe me, even though I clearly didn't believe my words.

"Hmm really?" he clearly didn't believe what I was saying, but he didn't seem like he was going to force me.

"Go to sleep, it's past midnight. Tomorrow I'll take care of work and leave you early in the morning, you don't have to get up early take a rest, but at three I'll come home and we'll take a walk." I immediately smiled.

"Really?" my eyes sparkled with joy.

"Yes the day after tomorrow we have to go to Joanne's place, there is a family meeting, guests will start arriving at five in the afternoon." I nodded, Joanne told me about it before.

"Okay" I was still sitting on his lap while holding his shoulder.

"Now get off my lap, or you want me to carry you to the bed and sing you a lullaby. Or I can even do better. I'll make you sigh my name until you fall asleep exhausted" he started to show his jerky side now.

"You pervert get out of my room now."

I immediately stood up. Alexander laughed in satisfaction. And I put my hands on my hips, pointing to the exit.

"Good night Alexa" he was still grinning widely when he came out.

"Good night Alex."

I closed the door and leaned against the door. My Lord, I will not be able to endure this temptation. Sooner or later I will definitely fall into his arms. What should I do.
