CHAPTER FIFTY SIX
Emory's Pov
I woke up to my wolf's voice and tantrums. She was screaming and clawing at the wall of my head.
"Emory Salvatore Infantino, where are you?" Her voice resounded every time she clawed the inside of my head.
"Damn girl! Hold your stuff, will you? What's with the weird name combo, by the way?" I answered her and I felt her roll her eyes.
I groaned and checked my phone for the time. It was still six AM. I still had four hours before class started. Wanting to sleep more, I bounced back on the bed with the type of sheets that makes you want to be a grilled barbecue fish and wrap yourself around it and stay in bed forever.
Touching the side of the bed, I realized it was empty. I frowned when it felt a little warm so I lowered my nose to the sheets and sniffed. Alex's smell lingered on the sheets as he had slept on them. Like it was his.
The realization hit my head and I felt the impact a bit more tough than I would, the impact of an ideal brick on my head.
Sitting straight on the bed, I pulled on my disheveled hair and schooled it into a messy bun, my eyes oscillating widely as images of last night's event came back to me. The restroom…the car…my couch….and later bringing it to Alex's home….the light kisses and bites…the shower we had together…another round of hot s*x…us cuddling after and…..
"Where the f**k are you?" Ruby's wolf snarled again.
"Why…"
"What is going on?" This time Ruby's voice reverberated in my head. The echoes from her voice trailed longer than necessary.
"I'm fine" I rolled my eyes at her frenzy.
"Where are you? Are you safe? Are you getting some good f**k? You better be girrllll"
"I'm safe. I'll tell you the rest later!" I snapped before shouting her out.
The smell of fresh toast, bacon, and eggs filled the room and occupied my senses. My all was soon consumed by the smell of coffee. I gingerly kicked the covers off my body and was about to step down from the bed for as my mother would always say, 'I was a sucker for caffeine' I was interrupted from going further when I heard the door creak and shortly afterward, Alessandro walked in carrying a tray of the said food and of course, two cups of coffee…
Yay…. Breakfast in bed, sweet!
He placed the tray in front of me and took a cup of coffee.
"Hey" his voice was so silky and husky that it seemed that his 'hey' meant, hey can we continue with what we were doing last night?
"Hey" I felt like pinching myself for replying in the same husky and breathless tone.
"I brought you food. Figured you'd be hungry by now" he leaned forward and fixed the loose strand of hair at the back of my ear, his eyes roaming my face. I was flustered. No man had ever treated me so right. No man had ever treated me special with so much care and gentleness.
Feeling speechless and shy as supposed, I grabbed my coffee mug and took a huge sip hoping the coffee would break me from this daydream. I took a bite of the toast and man, was it the best toast I've ever tasted?
I pushed the tray of food towards him and mumbled. "Let's share". Picking a couple of scrambled eggs with my fork, I directed the spoon to his mouth and he wasted no time opening up and receiving it.
" Hungry much?" I teased.
"For you more than anything else" he answered so casually, whereas I was heated with lust. Damn! He took a bite from the bacon and began to chew gently but with agility...the way his teeth pressed to the bacon did a little bit of a stunt to my stomach and I literally felt my intestine form into a knot waiting for him to unknot it. He was chewing like he was in a freaking commercial or was it just me? Jeez!
I bit down on my lower lip, restricting the blood flow and the itch on it to feel Kyle's lip on mine. Alessandro let out a low laugh —almost baritone and throaty and absolutely pant-melting.
"Baby start eating, or I'll feed you"
"How about you feed on me?" I asked, looking at him through my lashes. He dropped his cutleries on the tray and with his index finger, he tilted my chin and made me look at him. "You my love, are insatiable" he whispered and I gulped. I was so sure he heard the ugly frog-like voice I made. Did he just say the L-word? "Breakfast in bed after an eventful night isn't complete without a little natural milk" he air quoted the natural milk. "You baby are in possession of my milk and I'll sure as hell milk or out until I'm full. Eat first you'd need strength " he finished with a smirk, leaving me utterly dumbfounded. This man is something else.
"Don't you have training classes with your beta today?" I asked.
"I do but I most likely won't attend"
"You'd skip training class…why?" I asked wide-eyed.
"My outlined schedules for today circle only around you. Unless you need me to accompany you to your own lesson, I won't train. I'd drive you around town and hopefully, we have another quick round before you get to the ring. I'd hang around until you are done then bring you back to here or your apartment….wherever you want baby" he finished as though he had read my thoughts. I dropped my spoon and took another sip of my coffee.
"I'd love to but I have an appointment with a friend" he arched a questioning brow so I continued. "She's a human..."
"She's cool?" He asked with concern.
"Yeah"
"She isn't gay?...."
"She isn't," I said with a flushed face.
"Great then! I guess I have one less thing to be worried about" he cooed, brushing a finger against my face.
"But I do have a problem….a real one!" I said making a serious face
"What?" Alessandro asked, slightly alarmed!
