Alphas Secret Life

Patient

We arrive at his house which is outside of town toward the same direction as the house his parents live in. it is gated with large iron gates. We pull up and he rolls his window down to enter in his code to open the gate. It opens immediately and we drive through. His house is larger than his parents and I wonder just how much money does the firm make? I am deep in thought when he pulls into the garage. He gets out and hurries over to help out and into his oh my god beautiful home! Its log with iron railing on the stair way, a large open fire place with a large flat screen TV. He places me at the bar that overlooks the living space and also separates the kitchen from a large dining room. I finally manage to get my mouth to work.

"Do you live here alone?"

"Yes I do" is all he says as he goes up the stairs and I hear him rustle around. When he comes back down he has a comfy looking blanket and a pillow. He takes them to the couch and then comes toward me. He picks me up and gently takes me over to make shift bed I assume.

Handing me the remote he says, "Watch whatever you want, I'm going to make up your room."

"Oh don't bother this is fine right here"

"No it's not, I have a room upstairs and you will be using it."

" Ok I just don't want to be any trouble."

"That's all you have been since I met you" He mumbled as he walked away.

I flipped through the channels until I found some movie about vampires on. I must have fallen asleep while watching because when I woke up he was sitting at the other end of the couch with just his jeans on with his feet upon the coffee table. Sound asleep. I didn't want to disturb him so I just closed my eyes trying to go back to sleep but I just couldn't. His presence made me unable to think about sleep. He looked so handsome lying there asleep basically at my feet, I have to stop. "Stop" I say to myself, he is your boss, and is nursing you back to health because he left you to get hurt on the job.

I try to move to sit up but the pain is so bad I groan and he jumps.

"Do you need something for pain? I went and got your prescription filled while you slept."

"yes please if you don't mind could you I'm help me to the bathroom"

He nods and helps me up I try walk but my hip won't allow it so he carries me to the bathroom and actually assist me in getting where I need to be. He then exits the room and waits until I finish.

I am mortified he heard I'm sure and I apologize as soon as he enters the bathroom.

“I brought you here to care for you in every way you need and I would have been totally pissed if you urinated on my couch, he smiled as he said it, which made me blush.”

"Well thanks for all your help, I do appreciate everything, but I could have taken care of myself."

"I have no doubt you would have figured it out but now you don't need to, I am at your beck and call for the next few days."

"Great, but you might regret those words in a day or two"

"I am sure I will," He jokes.

“Do you want to go back to watch some TV or go to bed?"

"TV, if it's not too much trouble, I am not at all sleepy now after sleeping all evening."

"Not at all your wish is my command madam."

We chose something funny to watch, he fixes popcorn and we sit side by side not touching but close. He doesn't talk at all through the move but I hear him giggle a few times. I am so comfortable I start to feel my eyes go heavy again.

I wake a short while later with my head on his shoulder and he has his arm wrapped around my middle, I try to move but he pulls me closer where my head is laying on his chest. I listen to the rhythm of his heart beat and fall back to sleep.

In the morning I wake up and he is gone from the couch where he held me all night. I hear him in the kitchen, I try to stand again but I'm still too sore, so I yell his name. "Kaden;"

"Hey, good morning, breakfast will be ready in five"

"oh ok thank you."

“hope you like bacon, eggs and toast" My stomach growls as I hear him.

"uh yeah I am an American."

He laughs out loud and says, "Smartass."

"Kaden; do you have coffee?" "Yes ma'am, I'll bring a cup with your breakfast, how do you like it?"

"Black and strong please."

As we eat our breakfast, Kaden is chatty, talking about his siblings and his family which is huge, but I can tell he cares a great amount of love for them all. He tells me he is the oldest boy but has an older sister named Nina and he and she are very close. He tells me that Lisa has also become a part of his family, kind of like the little sister he never wanted.

I laugh. "Yeah I feel the same way about her even though she is 6 months older than I am."

"How old are you Lexi?"

“I am almost 23, I have a birthday next month” He nods like he is taking what I said in,

 "I ask how old are you?"

“I am older than you, but my age isnt important”

"Really?" Ok I got this.

"30! I say after putting my finger to my temple as in deep thought."

“Do you really want to know how old I am Lexi?” He said that with a stern look on his face that almost made me wish I hadn’t pressed the issue, I am a natural investigator so I say "yes."

“I am 158 years old.”

What! I scream then bust out laughing. "Ok you’re crazy!"

“No I am not lying to you, I am 158 years old I was born in 1861."

” I laugh so hard my stomach threatens to loose what I just ate. I hold my hands up in defeat and say "fine, fine don’t tell me!" He raises his eyebrow at me and shakes his head.

“Are you finished with your food?” I nod and we don’t talk the rest of the morning. I could tell something was bothering him, but I didn’t press, I figure he has now realized I shouldn’t be here. Oh well, His problem as of now. I told him to take me home but he wouldn’t so now he is stuck with me.

He finally speaks to me after our little silent session asking if I would like to see my room, “sure" I say board out of my mind and will to do anything other than watch another episode of cops.

He helps me up and the pain is getting better as the day goes, I was able to walk to the bottom of the stairs but when I tried to lift my leg to step up I almost fell. He quickly grabbed me and hoisted me up bridal style to carry me up the stairs.

"Again thank you for your help”

"You’re welcome," He says.

"This is your room." He opens the door and I see clearly this is his room.

“Where will you sleep? “ He points to a couch over to the side of the room.

I raise my eye brows at him and he says, "I can sleep down stairs but I am afraid you will need my assistance throughout the night with the bathroom."

"Oh yeah," I say. "your right I keep forgetting I can’t hardly walk."

“Yes, and I don’t want you doing your business in my bed if you don’t mind” He said with a chuckle.

I blush and say "yeah that would be more embarrassing than having you help."

He leaves me laying on the bed of coarse with a large flat screen tv to watch but I am still board so I start looking around the room. It looks like any other bed room but much larger. He has room for his king sized bed pulse a sitting area. I am sure the bathroom is as big as a small living area; actually a bath would feel great right now I dig my cell out of my purse he brought up.

I text him. "Hey could I possibly take a bath?"

His response, "Yes, be up in a min!"

My response, "Thank you!"

And that was it. A few minutes later he enters the room and goes to the door in the middle of the room I hear him start the water then he come to me and helps me get up from the bed. I limp to the bathroom and it is as beautiful as the rest of the house. It looks literally like a garden with a huge tub. The steam is rolling up and I am excited to be able to use such things, I wasn’t rich growing up so this is kind of like a vacation to me.

“Do you need help um with anything” Did he just blush?

“No, I think I can manage from here, thank you again Kaden.”

"Stop thanking me; I shouldn’t have walked so fast out of the woods. It is my fault you were almost killed by that wolf."

"This is the least I can do."

“ Its ok, I didn’t get killed I am just little beat up.”

"It shouldn’t have happened at all, I am sorry Lexi."

“Its fine really, now get out so I can use this luxury bath of yours," I say smiling my best smile at him.

"Are you sure you need any more help?"

“Yes, I am sure.” I inch my way into the hot water, It feels so good. I can feel the hot water lapping around my sore body, the hot water feels as if it is pulling the soreness out of my muscles. I lay back and soak and let my mind wonder, I think back on the day I say Kaden come out of my apartment building. There is no way he hurt that woman. I wonder what he was doing there though. I will figure it out because Lisa was right, There was no way Kaden Lance hurt any female.
