Chapter 21: In Which It Was So Close

A week and a half passed to Alexander's injury, his stitches, even though healed were still a little sore but it was nothing he couldn't handle.

During that whole time his little girlfriend had acted like a mother hen, making him food, feeding it to him and once she even went as far as offering to take him to the bathroom to which he declined with great emphasis. It was quite adoring for him that she was caring for him like that but only to a point and that line was drawn on when she made that offer. He was quite capable of doing stuff on his own it was only that he found it really endearing and she insisted was he letting her do stuff for him.

What annoyed the hell out of him because of that injury was the fact that he wasn't able to keep an eye on Isla the whole day and they only got to be together during the night.

However, today was going to be his first day back to duty since he got injured and maybe it was the anticipation of it that had him up early at 6 30 in the morning not that it was the first time.

He kissed the top of Isla's had who was sprawled over him, deep asleep.

After the first time they had shared the intimate moment, it seemed that he couldn't get enough of her and the little vixen loved his touch so since then they had repeated those actions of intimacy quite a few times and last night was one of them when she had seen his manhood for the first time and held it in her soft small hands tenderly with shaky, nervous hands as he had guided her utterly inexperienced hands up and down his length until he had found his sweet release after which he had made her writhe in pleasure as he guided his length up and down her wet core till she came but never once entering her.

Looking down at her soft features, her creamy skin and pin straight silky raven hair he could feel his heart expand with unconditional love for her. He knew she was it for him, it was her or no one.

H was cut off from his thoughts when a knock sounded on the door. His eyes widened and he shot up sitting straight with Isla still in his arms as he supported her back with one hand but she was stirring awake now as she clutched his bare should with one hand and rubbed her eyes adorably with the other but he had no time to swoon over her cute antics, there was someone at the door and Isla was half naked on top of him, in his room.

"Wait! don't come in, just a second" he called out to stop whoever was behind the door from barging in.

He quickly got up with Isla in his arms still clutching onto the soft single blanket as to protect herself from the chilly breeze, her eyes wide at what was happening as Alexander quickly carried her to the bathroom.

He set her on her feet and she looked at him with big fearful eyes, now wide awake.

"Stay here, don't make a sound" he said and she vigorously nodded her head as he walked out of the bathroom closing the door behind.

He made haste to pull on some sweats over his boxers and a t shirt before making his way towards the door but no before chucking Isla's clothes under a pillow, ignoring the slight pain and stretch of his stitches.

In record time he was in front of the door opening it to reveal a guard standing there but what caught him off guard the most was Richard Gambino standing behind the guard at a distance with another guard.

"Mr. Gambino" he greeted standing up straight in respect.

"Alexander, I see you are all better than before, I heard you sustained an injury during the Campbell estate raid but nonetheless you completed the mission successfully, I meant to visit you earlier when you had been injured but I had to urgently leave for Italy on some business but now that I am back and you seem well enough to get back to your duty I wanted to reward you for your good work, your account will be credited with fifty grande and I have mad you in charge of a 20 men security team which you will lead, they will work under you" Richard said, face stoic mirroring Alexander's own.

Alexander couldn't care less about the rewards being offered to him at that moment considering he was hiding Isla in his bathroom and any wrong move that might reveal her could fuck them both up pretty good. He couldn't even fathom the thought of being away from her if that was to ever happen.

"I am very grateful Sir and yes I would be glad to return to my duties now" Alexander replied, he was in a haste to get rid of Richard but he masked it well.

"Very well then, I won't keep you from it" Richard said turning around and walking out with the guards in tow.

Once Alexander heard the door to the pool house shut, he let out a sigh of relief, the tension in his muscles that he didn't even realise was there relaxing.

He then mad ehis way to the bathroom where he had left Isla at and she had kept quiet as a mouse.

He opened the door slowly in case she was behind it, she herself let out a sigh of relief as she saw it was only Alexander who had opened the door.

"You can come out now baby, they are gone" Alexander said ushering her out immediately considering she was half naked with only a blanket wrapped around her.

"Who was it?" she questioned stepping out and looking for her clothes.

"It was your dad, came to check up on me and compensate for the injury I sustained on the mission I carried out for him" Alexander answered while grabbing her clothes from under the pillow where he had hid them in case they stepped into the room which thank god didn't happen cause it was only now that he noticed Isla's purple bag pack in which she brought key lime pie last night laying beside the bed.

"Oh my god, that was so close" she said fixing her hair, her heartbeat still erratic from the events.

"It was, we'll lock the door next time onwards, it was very foolish of me not to do so before" Alexander said.

"Well, it's 7, I gotta go, I'll see you in a bit. I am so glad you'll be with me the whole day today" she said with a toothy smile placing a light kiss to his stubbly chin as she couldn't really reach up to his cheek.

"I am glad too, sweet girl" he placed a peck on her lips before releasing her waist having her all blushing.

It was endearing how a little thing such as a peck to the lips had her all blushing even when they had done things much sinful than that.
