Chapter 294 I Won't Blame You Unless You Cheat
As Victoria settled into his lap, Alexander's gaze bore into her and said, "Why do you want to go to the hospital? Can't I personally examine you?"
"But...""Surely, Victoria, you don't believe I would cast you aside simply because you're not a virgin?" Alexander's question hung in the air, heavy and unyielding.A silence fell upon them, stretching out within the confines of the car. Victoria was rendered immobile, frozen in place."I hold no judgment for your past, unless it includes infidelity," Alexander declared, his tone firm. "And as for the examination, I am more than capable of handling it myself. I require no assistance."Abruptly, Victoria found her head cradled by a pair of hands, her lips claimed by Alexander's in a swift, decisive move.Alexander's forceful maneuver pushed her back onto the seat, leaving Victoria gasping for breath. She was taken aback, her senses overwhelmed by the electric charge pulsating from his strong fingers as they ventured up her thighs. Instinctively, she reached out to grasp his wrist, but his strength was unyielding, her efforts futile."Alexander, please, no," Victoria pleaded."Did you not express a desire for me to try? I will fulfill your request now," Alexander countered."No, Alexander, I've changed my mind. I don't want to try anymore," Victoria protested.Suddenly, a wave of fear washed over Victoria as a past memory resurfaced, a haunting scene where she had been choked into unconsciousness. Tears welled up in her eyes as she struggled in desperation, only to be silenced once again by Alexander's insistent lips."Are you playing games with me, Victoria?" Alexander demanded, his voice laced with suspicion.He ceased his kisses abruptly, his hand lingering on her delicate skin. He studied her, his voice softening, "If you wish for me to stop, then soothe me."Victoria's mind went blank. "What?""You've always been adept at placating others, haven't you? The elders are always delighted by your charm," Alexander pointed out.Victoria was at a loss for words. How could placating elders be the same as placating a lover?"Or perhaps you secretly desire to experiment with me," Alexander suggested."No, that's not it," Victoria denied, her voice trembling as Alexander's hand shifted slightly."Then soothe me," Alexander commanded, his eyes burning with an undeniable desire."I... I can't," Victoria admitted, her gaze lowered in defeat."Is it that you can't, or that you won't?" Alexander asked.
"I can't," she confessed, her voice barely a whisper, her gaze still averted.But her soft-spoken words had a calming effect on Alexander, his mood visibly improving. How could she not know how to soothe someone? Yet her vulnerable and humble demeanor had already melted his heart. All she had to do was look at him with those eyes, and he was ready to give her everything he had."You're capable, Victoria. You can do anything," Alexander assured her, resting his forehead against hers, his lips gently brushing against hers."I can't... no...""That's alright. I actually prefer that you don't know how to placate someone," he murmured, his kisses slow and tender."Stop. I can, I can," Victoria said.
Alexander's hand was slowly inching towards an extremely intimate area. Panic set in, causing her to tremble.But Alexander was relentless. His voice deep and husky, he asked, "Can you?""Please, remove your hand," Victoria pleaded anxiously."I'm afraid you'll have to persuade me. It seems my hand has lost its will to move," Alexander teased.Victoria's cheeks flushed a deep crimson, her embarrassment rendering her speechless. Her face was hot, her earlobes tinged with a tantalizing shade of pink.But she really didn't know how to placate someone.Suddenly, a memory surfaced, a moment when he had allowed her to hold him. With a deep breath, Victoria released Alexander's hand, her own trembling as they slowly ascended. Finally, her slender arms managed to encircle his neck, holding him tightly. Her voice barely a whisper, she pleaded, "Please."
