“Are you feeling alright?” he murmured with genuine concern shining in his dark eyes. “Do you think that this has something to do with your nearsightedness? Could it be a symptom of something more serious?”
His anxiety shocked me. I blinked up at him as guilt settled low in my stomach. Alexander seemed actually worried for me. His woodsy scent surrounded me, lowering my inhibitions, and I began to lean forward and tilt my head to the side before I could think better of it.
Surprise flickered in his eyes, but he followed my lead. His hand slowly traveled down, and he cupped the back of my hot neck, warming it even further.
It should be considered illegal how much I wanted this man.
Right before our lips touched, my rational side took over, and I pulled away abruptly. I scooted away from him until our bodies were no longer touching. Even though I now felt cold and empty without his warmth, I knew that it was the right choice. I couldn’t make smart choices with Alexander’s warm hands on me.
“I’m alright,” I assured him in a shaking voice.
Alexander studied me for a moment, and then his gaze seemed determined, like he had made a decision about something. Weariness filled me, and my instincts were correct because a secondter, he reached for me and grabbed my waist with his warm hands.
“What are you doing?” I squeaked as an electric bolt went down my spine. My head was spinning from his touch, and my legs began to tremble as memories of his hands roaming my bodyst night shed into my mind.

“It’s okay.” Alexander replied in a quiet, soothing voice as he set me down on hisp. “I just want tofort you, nothing more. You can trust me, Olivia.”
Shock surged through me when I realized that I truly did trust him. I trusted him way more than I should.
As soon as I felt his warm body against my back, I rxed into him, my head falling back onto his strong shoulder.
He began to gently y with my hair, making the tension leave my body. I couldn’t move even if I wanted to. My heart slowed, and my eyes fluttered close as I allowed myself to rx.
For a long time, the only sound in the car was our soft breathing and the gentle rustle of our clothes as Alexander gave me a massage. His expert touch turned me into putty in his capable hands. First, he got all of the kinks out of my shoulders, then my upper back, and finally, he moved to my aching lower back.
As he massaged me, I let out quiet whimpers of pleasure. I couldn’t help it, his warm touch felt so good. He used just the right amount of force so that it didn’t hurt, but it still got all the knots out of my body.
Soon, I became so rxed that I fell into a sort of trance. Then, I allowed myself to drift off into the most peaceful sleep I’d ever had.

I woke up with a smile on my face. But when I looked at my surroundings, the smile slipped. Why was I sitting on Alexander’sp in the car? I nced down at my body, afraid that I wouldn’t have any clothes on, but I quietly sighed when I saw that I was dressed.

out the window and saw that we were in a parking garage.
“What time is it?” I asked, my voice seeming too loud in thepact
space.
“Midnight,” Alexander answered and rubbed my back.
My eyes widened with surprise, and I looked at him questioningly.
“You looked so peaceful sleeping, I couldn’t bear to wake you up,” he exined.
I yawned again and stretched, ignoring.the way my heart warmed from his confession. “I’m sorry for keeping you trapped in the car. I can’t believe I actually fell asleep.”
