Chapter Twenty-Five

Sabrina

The slamming door wakes me up and I flip to my back, then sit up. Everything around Aleksi has me on high alert and there’s no way for me to turn it off.

My eyes follow the heavy footfall and lands on a half-naked Aleksi. He stops mid track but doesn’t look my way. He seems lost in his own world as he removes every single piece of clothing he has left on. He gets a notification from his phone, and he picks it up, listening to whoever called him. Aleksi doesn’t talk, but he listens to whatever is being said on the other end.

Everything about Aleksi is rigged and hard. He is the embodiment of lust, and I don’t know how to breathe properly again. He turns my way and the small sound that leaves my mouth is not because I’m freaked out. My gasp is so audible that it shocks Aleksi out of wherever he goes to ignore things.

Aleksi doesn’t say anything either, as he watches me watch him. He stands there still listening to whatever and my eyes peruse everything on him, stopping when I see the duchess tattoo. It’s still there on the left side, in that pretty cursive font yet daunting at the same time. Aleksi’s fingers trace over the name. I follow his finger all the way until he’s done tracing over it. He doesn’t say anything, but there is a moment between us that makes me feel like we’re both lost in a place of our own.

“Are you going to keep staring at me or are you going to pretend to be sleeping again to avoid your punishment?” He taunts.

“I, I was going to take a shower.” I respond because that’s the first thing that comes flying out of my mouth.

“You’re trying to shower with me?” Aleksi asks.

My throat goes dry and the shyness that I haven’t felt in years comes creeping up on me so fast that I shut my eyes. My skin grows hot, and I know my face is becoming a shade of red. “You want me to get in with you?” I squeak out.

“You can shower when I’m done.” Aleksi scoffs. “We’ve got shit to do today, duchess. I don’t want any fucking around with me today. Are we clear?”

I nod.

“No, no. I need to hear you say that.”

“Yes, we’re clear.” I respond.

“And if I catch a whiff of you trying to appear less than what you are right now, you will regret it. I may not want you suffering for the shit that you couldn’t control like your dumb-ass one track mind when it comes to certain situations that have to do with me, but don’t fuck with me. Think it through. I have a business to still run, and no one will save you from my wrath.” He says and begins walking away.

“Does this mean that you won’t hurt me for what I did in the hospital?” I ask.

“Check your ankle, duchess.” He says, and I do just that.
