CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Rayne's pov
I needed to make a decision quickly.
Because the way Alessandro was looking at me right now made my head spin. It made my breath hitch, and it also caused water to drip outside my pot. I'd been looked at with desire, heat, lust, and need... But his eyes held something else too. Something dangerous, visceral, and so damn fiery that I felt every nerve in my body light up in flames from just how his eyes raked me in. I couldn't deny that I wanted him, that I wanted to kiss the hell out of his cocky grin on his lips. And I knew that he wanted me. I know because he said it and because I could see it too, the effect I had on him. And truth be told, he had the same effect on me, if not more. I didn't know if these were just hormones, or maybe, it was because I had a short list of men I'd allowed into my space, or because he was him but I knew that I f*****g wanted him inside me here and now. I didn't mind him taking me here on my doorstep.
The last thing I had expected to come out of our dinner was for the both of us to end up at my doorstep with our libido all over the place —desperately needing to f**k each other. For f**k sake, this was the man that got off his way to make life easier for me. And not only had he told me he wanted me he had shown it too. And that s**t was sexy as hell. It could be the hottest minimal action a guy has done while pursuing me. He had made such an outstanding effort— I gave him that. It was sexy as hell. Well, no, a guy making such an effort would also be considered sexy. But a particular form of sexiness came with that of Alessandro. It was not every day you come upon a billionaire Alpha who wasn't ashamed to tell people he wanted to f**k you.
I still didn't say a thing. Instead, I just stood and watched myself, trying to see a thing or two through his eyes, but the man was just unreadable. I gauged and studied his expression to check if he was being serious or playing games. And then I saw it and I felt it too. The level of his desire for me. Amongst all the quagmires of skepticism in me and shadows clouding his face, I saw it— a desire so fierce and palpable. The fire in his eyes was almost dominant, and it commanded me to submit to it.
"I know what I want, Rayne. The question is, do you know what you want?" He said, and I just gaped at him. I opened my mouth to speak but closed them back because I had nothing to say. I just wanted to jump him right here. For the last time, I made my calculations, and there was nothing for me to lose.
"What do you want, Rayne?" He asked again, and I straightened up to answer.
"Protocols, be damned," I snapped. "Come inside" I couldn’t even control my words, but they left my mouth with confidence as I stepped aside, watching how a gigantic smirk appeared on his lips.
"With pleasure," he replied, stepping over the threshold with one long stride without an ounce of hesitation. He slipped his hands into his suit pants and pulled out his phone and car keys. He dropped the car keys on my table but punched a few buttons on his phone before he finally dropped his phone on the table.
"I just turned my phone off. Do the same," he commanded menacingly.
"Why?"
"Because I had a rough day. And about to have a rough night. I don't want anything interrupting my session. Turn it off and drop it on the tables now," he announced again.
Damn! Did he just insinuate how he would f**k me? Rough?
"I don't like it when I'm being commanded," I replied instead of obeying him.
"I don't like it when I'm being disobeyed, Rayne. I don't take it likely with women that disobey me, especially on the bed. Drop your phone. Now" he ordered.
"What do you do to women that defile your orders on the bed?"
"You don't want to know, girl," he answered.
"Oh, trust me. I'm far from being a girl. Tell me, what do you do to the girls that defile your orders?"
"I punish them severely."
"Then punish me severely," I demanded.
"I'm not doing it any other way; let's go to the bathroom and wash you up first?"
“I won't have you..." Before I could finish my statement, he snatched my hand from my side and turned me around swiftly. I was going to protest, but then again, before the words left my mouth, I was already on his shoulders. He spanked me hard on my butts, and a loud growl escaped my mouth from the pain, which shortly turned into pleasure.
Oh. My. God.
"Where is your bathroom?" He asked.
"Go straight, then turn left. Second door by your right" I'm amazed by how diligent my sentence came out.
He carried me on his shoulders through the hallway like I weighed nothing and dropped me on the bathroom floor once we were inside. He kicked off his shoes and next to his socks, and I just stood staring like a zombie. Next were his cufflinks, wristwatch, and ring. He leaned closer to me, rolling up his sleeves as if he was getting ready for a fight. His now revealed muscles twitched as he tugged on the buttons of his shirt.
He quickly discarded my clothes into a heap on the ground and in the flash of an eye, we were both butt naked.
"Come here", he said, but I wouldn't have any of it.
"Ladies first," I smirked and stood in front, using my fingers to pick the hair on his chest. "Let me", I said and went down between his legs in slow motion but halted when the sound of my doorbell went off.
What the f**k?
