The Alpha and His Cursed Princess

Chapter 24

“Kiss her,” Casper growled inside him as he moved closer to her.

Archie’s lips barely moved when he said. “Amelia.” and traced the outline of her mouth with a lean gentle forefinger.

Her cheeks turned red through her skin and her heartbeats drummed in her ears, awareness tingling through every cell and filling her with longing. Doubtfully she realized she was holding her breath, unable to regain her wits to move. Drowned in the deep dark eyes, she clung single-mindedly to the most simple concept of staying upright.

Archie then whispered. “ You must know already that I am glad you came.” and he stepped away after saying it.

Amelia fought to hide the feeling of disappointment, and it was keen as a knife blade. What has gone wrong? why had he decided against kissing her?

Humiliation drove a desperate desire to gloss over the violence of response. She said on a breath which was very painful. “I wasn't looking for any compliment I was being slightly sarcastic.”

He did not answer her question so she still did not know whether he had invited her to Denmark to find out about Lucas and his friends were doing. Had he deliberately planned the convincingly intense gaze to block her brain with sensual expectation so she wouldn't push for an answer?

If so he knew now she wanted him more than he did. Her response gave him power, he had been able to pull away while she stood still in her place.

But pride came to her rescue. Stiffening her shoulders she lifted her chin and kept her gaze level and slightly ironic.

She had never been kissed and this was the first time he had kissed her however the kisses had been pleasant, only mildly stimulating about as far removed as nothing could be from jolting heady anticipations she had experienced when Archie touched her.

No other man had stirred her as much as he did arousing a need she had never felt before as vigorous and raucous as hunger. He was the only man able to set her hormones surging in that delicious terrifying flood of anticipation.

Amelia cool yourself, she warned her body but she had to wait a few seconds before her voice was steady enough for her to observe in a casual tone, “ I hope you will manage to convince Harry that his concern about my brother and his friends creating troubles in his border is baseless.”

Archie's expression gave nothing away but her skin tightened when her eyes met his as it was unyielding and different.

“I will tell him you said so,” he said then glanced at his watch. “I have a very important business meeting after some time with some overseas client so if you need anything just call up Brian.”

“No thank you.” She broke in the surge of response leaving her utterly annoyed. “ I think the jet lag must have stuck me I would like to go and sleep.”

Archie’s black Bros were drawn together as he scrutinized her face. “ I should have realized you would feel the effects, I'm sorry for taking you out for such a long time.”

“You don't have to.” She said promptly. “ All I needed is a good night's sleep and I will be fine.”

He nodded. “ I will be back later. When you want to eat use the telephone to call Brian and he will bring it for you.”

Archie was relieved to come out of the room as his body was losing his self-control and he had to do something about the heat in his body or he would die of the heat. Casper was driving him even more madder.

“I feel a strong attraction towards her Archie and I want her. Why didn’t you kiss her? I am mad at you? I am so heated up I can’t control myself. I somehow feel like she is our mate.”

Archie groaned with frustration as he walked inside his room and tore open his clothes before going and standing under the cold shower as his body was getting hotter and hotter and after about half an hour his body cooled down and he came out and sat down on his bed thinking, what had he put himself into.

"Amelia you don't even know what effect you have in me. You will drive me insane someday." He swore.

Never had any women affected him this way, he had a fair share of girlfriends but it was only because he wanted someone to quench his bodily need and never had any emotional attachment and none of them were humans but with Amelia, he felt so different. He knew he was wrong as an Alpha he has to control himself around humans but he couldn’t control himself around her and his Wolf would also go mad with lust when he saw Amelia. What kind of attraction was this as it was very infuriating but even if he wanted her she had to agree to it as he could feel her positive response and knew she was attracted towards him but what would it end up into.

He brushed his hair which fell on his face and decided to get over with the meeting and distract himself.
