Chapter309 The Depth of a Man's Love
Alexander positioned his hands firmly against the door panels flanking her shoulders, his gaze descending upon her. "Look at me, Victoria," he demanded.Obediently, Victoria lifted her gaze to meet his. She was acutely aware that provoking him would serve no purpose, so she opted for a display of humility and vulnerability. It was a strategic move, calculated and deliberate.Upon witnessing Victoria's compliance, a subtle shift occurred in Alexander's mood. His voice softened as he asked, "Why do you run away every time you see me?""I don't," Victoria denied.
"Are you sure? What about our encounter at the office building entrance?" Alexander asked.
Victoria found herself silently pondering, 'Can I claim I didn't see him?'In truth, she had seen him and hastily retreated to her car. She had no desire to be alone with him after work. But she couldn't alter the reality of the situation. Now, Alexander was once again on her doorstep.Victoria's heart pounded uncontrollably. She cast another glance at him, her voice barely above a whisper as she asked, "Why... why are you at my house again?""Of course, I would come," Alexander responded. "After all, my wife is temporarily staying here."The word "wife" stirred a wave of tenderness within Alexander. His earlier anger seemed to dissipate.Victoria stared at him, dumbstruck, perceiving a depth of affection in his gaze.He had called Isabella earlier that day, his tone so gentle. It was said that some men could exude passion even when regarding an ordinary woman.Victoria told herself not to think too much and said softly, "I don't want to be your wife anymore.""What did you say? I didn't quite catch that," Alexander murmured, drawing even closer to her.Victoria's gaze fell upon his face, now merely an arm's length away. Instinctively, she pressed the back of her head against the door, attempting to maintain a semblance of distance between them, but it seemed futile."Say it again," Alexander commanded, his voice low and firm."Alexander, can you......" Victoria's sentence was abruptly cut short by his sudden kiss.A twinge of pain shot through Victoria as Alexander's lips met hers.Alexander continued his forceful kiss until he detected her faint whimper of discomfort. Only then did he slightly release her, whispering, "Say it again."Victoria bit her lower lip lightly, daring not to utter another word. Yet, her resolve was unwavering. She had no intention of remaining with Alexander, not now, not ever.Alexander noted her refusal to speak. His gaze fell upon her bitten lip, and he gently raised his hand to cradle her chin. His lips found hers again, his kiss tender, as if to soothe her."If I see you bite your lip again, I will kiss you a thousand times," Alexander warned.Victoria thought to herself, 'Wouldn't he kiss the skin of my lips a thousand times?'Fear gripped Victoria, rendering her silent. She had just bitten her lip and immediately released it.Typically, she didn't bite her lip, but his recent kiss had left her feeling uneasy, prompting her to bite down lightly.Alexander observed her pitiful, silent demeanor and found himself drawn to kiss her once more.Victoria quickly turned her face away. Her heart felt constricted as she lowered her gaze, awkwardly suggesting, "Can we separate for a while?"Alexander remained silent, his gaze lingering on their close proximity before shifting to her flushed face.He knew that eventually, he would have to consume and possess her entirely. Otherwise, he would never find peace.At this moment, they were so close, he could feel her softness, and he was on the verge of losing control. Alexander considered that they might need a trigger.
