Page 28 of Thalia De Luca

I quickly change into a pair of dark gray leggings and a shirt that is cropped. I quickly put on my shoes and run out of the room.

As I am running down the stairs, I see one of the maids wiping down the floor. "Meredith, can you please send someone to get my bags from my room?" I ask as I walk past her, and I see her nod her head. "Thank you."

I walk inside the kitchen and see the devil himself.

Alexander is sitting on a barstool next to my brother and they are just talking and laughing.

Alexander lifts his eyes so they meet mine and I see a challenging, amused glint in his eyes making me want to punch his face until he can't smirk or have that stupid amused smile on his face.

Killian turns his head and looks at me. "Hey, Thalia," Killian says with a smile still on his face.

I ignore him and walk towards Alexander so that I am standing right in front of him. "Is it hard to be a gentleman? Do you ever knock before walking into places?"

"If I knocked then I wouldn't have been blessed a few moments ago with what I saw, now would I?"

I give him a fake smile. "You’re a pig. No wonder why girls wouldn't want a relationship with you."

"Angel, girls would die to have a relationship with me. It's me who doesn't want one with them."

"Why? Does their dick sucking need some work before they officially become yours?" I tease but then I feel Alexander pull me closer so that I am standing between his legs with his hand on my wrist.

"No, actually it's because none of them seem to meet my needs," he whispers harshly in my ear. "Why are you asking, Thalia? Jealous?"

I glare at him and push myself away from him. "As if I want to waste my time fucking you. I probably won't even feel satisfied afterwards," I spit and Alexander just glares at me.

"We can test it out and see?"

"Ew," Killian glares at the both of us. "Can you guys please not test out that theory in front of me?"

I look at Killian. "As if I want to test out that theory at all." I roll my eyes.

Alexander stands up from the stool and walks closer to me, up until he is so close to my face, our noses brush.

"You’re such a little liar. Maybe if you admit it then maybe I won't edge you when we fuck. And trust me angel, I will fuck you, but it won't be because I make the first move, it will be because you’re begging me to," Alexander whispers quietly so that Killian can't hear. I feel my heart rate picking up a little bit before Alexander moves past me. "We have to go."

I turn to look at Alexander, while also trying to show and convince myself that what he said didn't affect me.

My heart is racing quickly, and I wish it wouldn't.

"Where are we going?" I ask, my mind completely up in the sky, in scribbles, in the stars.

"Russia, angel."

"What the fuck do you mean that there is only one hotel room booked?" I ask the girl who works at the front desk of the hotel.

"I'm sorry miss but it says that there is only one room booked for both Xavier Volkov and Anastasia Alexei," the lady says in a thick Russian accent.

I sigh deeply. "Yeah well, I remember specifically ordering two rooms, not one, so either fix it or I will."

Right now, Alexander and I are trying to check into the hotel but they’re saying we have to share a double bed hotel room and I want to be as far away from Alexander as possible.

"I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do. Most of the rooms in this hotel are booked."

Before I can bring out my gun and shoot her head, I feel Alexander put his arm around my waist.

"It's fine. I'm sure that you have done everything you can," Alexander says with a small smile on his face. "We will be on our way."
