He looked at me as if I were his dinner, his eyes flick from my eyes down to my lips. The moment his lips were inches away from mine and we were on the verge to kiss, a bang on the door interrupts us. I wanted to kill that person.

Alexander slides off me and grabs himself a shirt before walking towards the door, I inwardly scream into the covers. I follow Alexander to the door, and my eyes widen once I see Leo. "We need to talk-" He pauses the moment he locks eyes with me, his eyes travel down my shirt-Alex's shirt.

I could tell he was drunk; he held a bottle of vodka in one hand and began laughing. He pushes Alex out of the way and storms towards me, raising the bottle high. I gasp but my feet seemed to have glued to the ground, before Leo go any closer to me.

He is slammed against the wall, the bottle of Vodka crashes onto the ground and I jump on my feet. I look up and see Alex holding him by the collar against the wall with one hand, "Leo, you're fucking drunk."

"She killed-she-she killed him..." He slurs out, my brows loosen and my jaw tenses. Shame and guilt wash over my face, I glance down at the spilt liquids.

"Calm down Leo." Alexander whispers as he slowly settles him on the floor, "let's get you cleaned up and into bed." Leo nods softly, Alexander helps him stand properly before taking him into the bathroom.

I decide to put myself to use and grab a broom, I sweep up the glass into a corner. I place the broom onto the wall and crouch down to pick up the big pieces, Alexander closes the bathroom door behind him. "What are you doing?" He storms towards me, taking the glass from my hands before pulling me up on my feet.

"I was just cleaning."

"You don't need to, it's fine." He brushes past me and shoves the glass in the bin. "Go to bed Nova." He said my name, he actually said my name. He's definitely sad.

I see him grip the edge of the sink; his head dipped down. I slowly step towards him, and once I'm behind him...I wrap my arms around his waist.

Alexander Solonik hates physical touch, anything emotional. I could tell by the way he reacts. But with me, I feel like he's slightly different.

I feel like he has come to terms and accepts it. I rest my forehead on his back and feel his breathing, Alexander turns his head sideways. "Hugs are good, it helps lower stress..."

I then step away and walk to the bedroom.

I close the door behind me and settle inside the bed, slipping my legs under the covers. I switch of the lamp from my side of the bed, close my eyes and try to force myself to sleep.

I hear the door close after half an hour, I pretend to fall asleep as heavy footsteps reach the other side of the bed.

The cover is lifted and there is a dip in the bed, then I feel arms a wrap around my waist and pulls me close against him. "Lowers stress, right?" He whispers into my ears.

I turn my head around along with my body, my fingers brush his cheek with my thumb and stare into his beautiful blue eyes. I nod my head and rest my forehead onto his, our noses accidentally touch.

I think-I think I'm falling for Alexander.

And it's scary.

Falling.

Alexander brushes a lock of my hair to the side, and before I know it-I feel his lips on mine. The sweetness of passion was condensed into a single kiss, a million loving thoughts condensed into a single moment.

His lips suck slowly onto my bottom one, my hands wrap around his neck as he pulls me on top of him. I feel his tongue pushing into my mouth; however, my gated teeth don't allow him.

He bites my lip, causing a gasp to escape my mouth before inserting his tongue into mine. Alexander's hands travel from my waist to my lower back as I moan softly. His tongue wraps around mine and he begins sucking. He is tasting every corner and nook of my mouth. This man knows how to kiss.

He slowly raises the back of my shirt; my hands glide down to his chest. His hands covered mostly half of my back, he raises my shirt and I help him slide it off. He shifts our position, and I am suddenly underneath him with him towering over my body.

My hands slide under his shirt, feeling every abdominal feature on his body. His lips travel down my jaw-my legs slowly raise against his waist. Alexanders hands travel to the back of my thighs to push it further up his body as he fits between my legs. I feel his dick harden against me.

My hands then travel to his back, he immediately grabs my hand and pushes it above my head.

Why did he just do that?

Does he-does he not want me touching his back?

I slide my hands out of his grasp as he kisses down my chest, his fingers pulling down one of my bra straps as it falls down my shoulders. Alexander kisses my arms; my hands slide out of his grip and touch his back accidentally. He grabs it. He grabs my wrist tight but not enough to hurt me before pinning it above my head.

"Alexander-why?" I whisper.

"No Nova, don't argue with me." He speaks, I guess he just has his limits.

A loud bang stops us from going any further, Alexander drops his head into my neck before lifting himself up and away from me. My lips were definitely swollen. My head falls onto the pillow as I watch him leave the room to check out the noise.

◾◾◾

He never came back to bed, actually funnily enough when I woke up to check on where he was-the apartment was empty. Leo was also gone. He-I guess he got what he wanted...I guess he had a taste and that was enough for him.

The landlord came back and opened my apartment door for me, my keys were on the kitchen counter and my apartment was an absolute mess. I close my door behind me and lean onto it, playing with my fingers as I toss the clothes, I've had for three days into the wash along with my underwear and bra.

I held onto Alexanders shirt.

Showering in my own shower, using my shampoo and conditioner felt like a blessing from god. I take the chance and begin to clean my apartment; I notice that half my fridge has gone old and had to chuck it in the bin. Once the counters were clean, the living room was spotless, and the floors were brushed.

I begin to make a shopping list.

I needed a few things from the market, I could walk it.

I grab my apartment keys and attach it to my car keys before exiting my apartment, I walk down the hallways. I press the button on the elevator, tapping my feet against the marble flooring.

The elevator door slide open, I step inside and press onto my floor before it closes a foot makes Its way between the doors allowing, I go to sensor back open. I look up and see a man stepping inside, my fingers fiddle with my keys.

"New?" He asks.

"Moved a couple of weeks ago actually," I smile.

He nods, the man was only a few feet taller than me. In no way taller than Alexander. He wore a black suit, and his hair was messy blonde, the complete opposite. "I don't usually dress like the men in black by the way." I stifle a laughter.

"Didn't even cross my mind." I respond.

"Derek, Derek Shephard." He takes his hand out for me to shake, and I shake it.

"Nova, just Nova."

"Well Just Nova, it was lovely meeting you." The elevator doors open, I let out a laugh and look up to lock eyes with a pair of blue ones. "See you again hopefully." Derek speaks walking past Alexander, Alexander stared at me then back at Derek walking to the exit.

He blocks me from trying to leave.
