Chapter 21

Heather was on her tiptoes, gripping his shirt tightly as Alexander lightly pressed his lips to her.
Was there any plausible explanation to say that his lips were a perfect fit to hers?
He began moving his lips and sucking her lower lips before she could even comprehend the overwhelming happiness. Given that she had no idea what she was doing or even whether she was kissing him properly, Heather was certain that she was quite clumsy with her response to his action.
When Alexander detached his lips from her for a few seconds to breathe air, Heather could not help but speak in short breaths, “I am sorry… I am not sure if I am doing this correctly.”
Her words only made him scowl at her. In order to make his point clear, he drew her closer until his entire frame touched hers. He bought his mouth closer to her ears and whispered, “You are doing it perfectly, Heather. Never self-doubt yourself.”
“Are you certain…”
He put his lips back on her before she could finish speaking, causing her to stop. This time he was not tender like before. His lips were tightly glued against her, and there was urgency. She had no control over her actions, her body was working on her own accord, and she was not complaining.
However, In contrast to the last time, she refrained from opening her mouth for fear of losing this precious moment to be with him.
Alexander said, "We must stop," as he felt his hands involuntarily grab for her blue shirt, meaning to unbutton it.
“Please don’t,” Heather mumbled, not wanting to feel foreign of this feeling she was experiencing with him.
“I do not want to, but we must before you fully understand what I feel about you and what I intend to do with you.” He made an effort to explain, but Heather did not want to adhere to his words, especially when he felt the same desire for her that she felt for him.
“Is it that bad of an experience if I share the same sentiments as you? The feelings are mutual, Alexander. I don’t want to stop kissing you. And I am definitely intrigued to know your intention to partake in the same.” She spoke while just separating her face just enough, so she could stare into his eyes.
“I don’t think it is a wise idea at the present stage when you must do nothing but rest.” Alexander expressed his worry.
“I think otherwise, Alexander Diadem. Contrary to what you would think or believe, the minute you kissed me, I felt renewed and more energized than before.” Heather stated, her eyes shining and her skin glowing.
She brought her face closer to him and kissed the corner of his lips to persuade him of his words. She only wished that she had the same effect on him that he had on hers. Much to her pleasure, actions made him groan, making her smile against his skin.
Alexander said, "You do not play fair, Heather Crown," pulling her nearer to him and squeezing her waist.
She grinned at him and dragged her lips to the other corner of his, and mumbled, “Learnt from the best,”
“You are natural, but just to jog your memory, I also did something else after teasing you relentlessly,” Alexander suggested by arching his brows.
Heather was more than eager to imitate his movement as she completely mashed her lips against his, but rather than sliding them against his, she slightly sucked on them as if she wanted to taste his sweetness.
“Heath…”
The kiss was getting more frivolous. It was clear that they were enamored with one another and desired nothing more than to completely lose themselves in one another.
“We need… I need…” Heather mumbled, but Alexander did not allow her to speak. They had enough of chit-chatting and playing games.
She wrapped her legs around him, her arms tightly around his neck, and their mouths were locked together as he raised her up without saying a word. He then lowered himself to grab her bottom. Heather sat on top of him as he took a seat on the bed, his back supported by the headrest.
Alexander did not realize when his hand started wandering inside her shirt and began caressing her back as Heather unbuttoned some of part of his shirt. She then started kissing his jaw, but when Alexander pulled back a little of her hair and bent down to kiss her neck, she let out a loud gasp.
“Alexander…”
At her voice, he started peppery kisses on her neck and removed the top three buttons of her shirt. He started to widen it apart so that he could suck on her flesh before stopping in mid-move.
When Heather felt adrift without his lips on her, she could not help but ask, “What happened?”
Alexander looked straight at her and buttoned her shirt, and pressed his lips tightly on hers. “Nothing I am surprised of. I knew that our first kiss would make me lose all self-control, but I did not anticipate it to be so enticing.”
“You blew me away too, Alexander. But I fail to comprehend why did you stopped." With a little grimace on her forehead, Heather questioned hesitantly.
Alexander grinned and kissed her forehead, “Because I do not want our first time to be the moment when we both are recuperating. I want our first time to be free of any burden or aftermath of the weariness we are carrying because I can assure you that once we both are of our former selves, none of us will be able to leave this bed for a long time.”
She blushed at his words and turned her head aside to conceal her feelings for him. But Alexander seized her and forced her to look at him, saying, “You, my dear, are far gone from hiding your feelings from me. You have me at your fingertips for life.”
“Only if you don’t hide yourself from me.” Heather bargained.
“It is a sweet deal.”
Once more pressing his lips together, Alexander relished the tiny bit of sweetness she had given him to savor.
