Chapter311 Alexander's Threat
Both of them were equally stubborn.A light smile graced Alexander's lips as he suggested, "Let's take a bath."With one hand, he effortlessly cradled her, while the other swung open the bathroom door. However, Victoria clung to him tightly, pleading, "No, Alexander, please."He paused, his gaze fixed on her."Please, don't bathe with me," she murmured, her eyes downcast, her cheeks aflame.Victoria couldn't fathom why he always insisted on doing things that left her flustered.Alexander pinned her against the wall, sighing, "Kiss me.""What did you say?" Victoria's voice was hoarse, her sanity teetering on the edge."If it brings me joy, I'll naturally heed your wishes," Alexander assured her.Victoria's hand found its way to the nape of his neck, her eyes fixated on his thin lips, her heart pounding in her chest.A memory from a previous night flashed before her eyes. She had been rendered unconscious, and before she slipped away, she remembered that the man hadn't kissed her skin. Even afterward, there were no signs of their intimate encounter on her body, save for the dark red stains on her bed. She wondered if the man who had been with her hadn't kissed her. And now, she was about to kiss the man she had fallen for at first sight.Her lips brushed against his forehead, a soft, trembling touch that warmed Alexander's heart.For a long, silent half-minute, neither of them spoke.Then, Alexander lifted his gaze, asking, "Do you know how to kiss?"Tears welled up in Victoria's eyes. As she leaned in to kiss his lips, they spilled over, tracing wet paths down her cheeks."If you cry again, I'll make love to you right here and now," Alexander threatened, his patience worn thin by her tears.Victoria immediately ceased her crying, her tear-filled eyes brimming with hurt as she looked at him."Shall you bathe first?" Alexander suggested."Okay." This time, Victoria responded quickly, nodding her agreement. Alexander didn't press her further.With a sigh, he lifted her into his arms and carried her into the bathroom.Victoria sniffled, her heart heavy. Alexander set her down on the sink, cupping her face in his hands. He gently wiped away her tears, whispering, "I knew you'd use your tears to manipulate me. One day, I'll make you use them for something else."Victoria didn't fully grasp his words, but her ears burned at the sound of his voice. His gaze, intense and unwavering, bore into her.She quickly lowered her gaze, unable to meet his stare.Alexander wiped the last of her tears away, his fingers lightly brushing the corner of her lips. He traced a path down to her neck, concealed under a layer of makeup."Victoria, he's serious," Alexander murmured.Her heart fluttered at his words, but she didn't dare to meet his gaze.As Alexander left, Victoria caught a glimpse of him from the corner of her eye. She couldn't resist stealing a glance at his retreating figure.'What did he mean by that?' Victoria wondered. 'Alexander often refers to himself in the third person. Perhaps he's giving himself some leeway.'Lost in her thoughts, Victoria lowered her gaze.As Alexander spoke on the phone, the sound of the bathroom door echoed through the room. Victoria moved to the closet by the bed, retrieving a set of pajamas before slipping into the bathroom.A soft chuckle escaped Alexander's lips, his voice growing gentler on the phone. "Alright, let's proceed this way. Arrive earlier tomorrow night."He sauntered over to the bathroom door, leaning against the wall, his ears tuned to the sound of running water inside.Despite his anger that night, Victoria's delicate demeanor left him helpless.---Later, Victoria lay in bed, sleep eluding her. Alexander remained close by her side, his proximity causing her heart to race."Victoria?" His deep voice cut through the darkness."What's wrong?" Victoria turned her back to him, feeling his presence draw closer. She buried herself deeper into the corner of the pillow."Let's have a baby," Alexander suggested, pulling her body closer to his.
