Page 52 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

"Tomorrow. Tonight, I’m busy." Alejandro replied coldly.

I felt several eyes on me but dared not look up. I knew Alejandro was looking at me but I had no idea what he meant. I won’t deny that my stomach was fluttering with nerves, and dare I say it... Anticipation.

27. Losing Self Control

ALEJANDRO

From the fucking moment she walked into the room, I lost it. The sway of her hips and the slight bounce to her breasts destroyed me. Fuck rules and consequences, I wanted her. I watched as she had taken a seat, ignoring me.

I don’t know what the fuck my problem was but when she had walked off after Jasmin had rushed over, I had been tempted to talk to her, about what? No fucking idea. But why do I care right? We were not meant to fucking be anyway. Yeah, I could keep telling myself that. We all know I don’t fucking care about what’s meant or not.

There have been a couple of women at a few mating balls that I've taken an interest in. They found their mate but when I showed some interest, they were willing to throw away a future for a one night stand. Not sure what the fuck they thought, that I’d claim and mark them? The point is, if I wanted something, I took it. That was the fucking problem, I never cared about the aftermath... but did I or did I not give a fuck now?

I watched as Rayhan complimented her. The dickhead… He was my fucking nephew but I was getting fed up with male teens who were acting like wannabe men. Irritation consumed me thanks to a certain nympho.

As dinner had progressed I hadn't been able to focus on much, trying not to undress her with my eyes. Then I went and told her to meet me in my office. What exactly was I going to discuss? Yeah, I had no fucking clue.

I now paced my office, taking out a cigarette and lighting it just as there was a knock on the door. Her delicious smell of hazelnut chocolate mixed with something else filled my senses, and I tilted my head.

"Get in." I said coldly.

The door opened and she stepped inside.

"Close the door."

Her heartbeat quickened as she shut the door and looked at me.

"What did you want?" She asked, crossing her arms under her breasts.

"Definitely not you, in case that’s what you thought when I called you." I remarked.

Yeah, I have a habit of wanting to piss the fuck out of her. She frowned at me;

"Good, because I have better things to do than waste my time with you. Jasmin’s still waiting for you too." She said, now tapping her foot. "So, hurry up."

I walked over to her, satisfied when her heartbeat quickened.

"Is it just me or are you fucking dumb? How many times do I have to tell you to show me respect?" I growled, backing her up against the door.

I needed an excuse to get close to her, like always. I couldn't keep away, even when I tried.

"I’m being well behaved, what do you want me to do? Bow down to you? Respect is earned, not demanded."

"Hmph, don’t get all wise and shit on me. We both know you don’t even know the meaning of the word respect."

"Oh, I do. I just pick and choose who’s worthy of it." She said, now looking me over.

My eyes flashed. Her uncaring attitude was irritating the fuck out of me. Wasn’t she the one who got turned on the other day by me just being close to her?

"Watch that mouth of yours before I shut you up for fucking good." I growled, slamming my hand against the wall next to her. She didn’t even flinch as she looked me square in the eyes. I held my cigarette in the other hand, glaring at her as I blew out a string of smoke. She didn’t even cough, her defiant eyes burning into mine.

She wasn’t making this easier on herself.

"I’d like to see you try. What are you going to do? Drown me in smoke?" She snapped, now trying to push me away. I didn’t even budge an inch as I looked down at her, from this angle I could see the tip of her smooth cleavage…

"I have my ways, you don’t want to know." I said quietly, slowly looking up into her eyes. I knew she caught me looking and I didn't really give a shit.

"Maybe I do…" She said, her eyes filled with the same emotions I saw that very first night…
