Page 62 of Thalia De Luca

I raise an eyebrow at Rowan. "Why?"

"Stop asking questions and come here," Rowan demands, in a rougher tone that made me feel butterflies in my stomach. I walk towards Rowan until I'm standing in front of him. "Close your eyes." I do as he says and close my eyes. I feel a light touch on my shoulder, making my skin break out in goosebumps. "Now imagine yourself bare on a bed with silk sheets. A specific bed with a specific someone above you, running their finger down your body." Rowan's finger travels down. Alexander flashes in my head when Rowan drags his finger over my stomach. "That spot between your legs is pulsing and you can't help but rub your thighs together as you imagine everything that he will do to you." Rowan's finger travels down my stomach until it grazes the spot between my legs. "What's his name, Thalia?" Rowan whispers in my ear.

My head leans back as I say, "Xander." My hips lean closer to Rowan's hand, but Rowan pushes me away from him softly, making me open my eyes. Rowan's eyebrow is lifted, and his head is tilted to the side. "You're a jerk."

"Just proving a point," Rowan shrugs his shoulders and his eyes travel to whatever is behind me. "And looks like your lover is on his way to claim what's his." Rowan leans off the wall and is about to walk past me, but his lips are next to my ear again. "I'll wait in the car. If you don't come out in an hour or so, then I’m leaving you here."

I watch Rowan pass everyone in the hallway and walk towards the front door. As he leaves, I feel a hand grab my wrist and pull me away from the kitchen. I look at who is pulling me, and I see Alexander.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? Let go," I demand but Alexander ignores me and pulls me through the crowd of people. I let Alexander pull me through the crowd until we end up in a dark bedroom. Alexander lets go of my hand and he walks around the room, pacing like a fucking maniac. "So, are you going to tell me why you decided to drag me inside of some bedroom?"

Alexander finally faces me, and I swear I feel like my heart flips as he looks at me like he wants to commit the biggest sin on me.

"You have a thing for pissing me off, don't you? Do you get off on it or something?" Alexander asks as he walks closer to me.

I shrug my shoulders. "Maybe a little."

"I can tell." Alexander's hand slides onto my waist. "What were you and that fucker Rowan talking about? He seemed really close to you."

"You always have to worry about what I do with other people don't you?" I raise my eyebrow at him, and Alexander just has the audacity to smirk. "Maybe we were talking about how annoying your face is sometimes."

"Thalia, if I'm so annoying when why are you dripping wet right now?"

I can't help but press my thighs together.

How would he know?

"Ew. No." I grimace, but then feel Alexander's hand slide up my thigh and I feel his hand cup me. He can definitely feel how wet I am through my underwear.

My eyes close and I can't help but let a small moan escape from my lips.

"Seem pretty fucking wet to me, angel," Alexander whispers in my ear. I don't say anything. Instead, I grind into his hand that isn't moving, just pressing against me. "Oh yea, little Thalia is wet for me."

"Xander-" I get cut off by Alexander pressing his lips against mine. One of his fingers moves my underwear to the side and he slips a finger inside me making my grip on him tighten. The kiss is filled with something desirable and desperate. I want to feel his skin on mine and then the heat of his body surrounding me. I want more of him. "I guess your face isn't that bad," I mutter before nipping his bottom lip.

Alexander smiles against the kiss. "You want to sit on it?"

I can't help but smile and kiss him with urgency.

"You're so bipolar sometimes. It pisses me off."

Alexander takes his hand out from under my dress and then he leans back so we aren't kissing anymore.

"And you make me fucking crazy, Thalia. You might pretend or try and hide it from yourself, but I know you, Thalia," Alexander says, as his breathing slows down. "I know what you want. You want someone to love you but also excite you in ways no one else ever can. You want someone to challenge you to make things more interesting. To keep you on your toes and get your heart beating so fucking fast you won’t even know what to do. I know everything about you, Thalia."

And even though my heart feels like it's just going to rip my chest open and offer itself to Alexander, I still manage to pretend for another few seconds that Alexander Russo means nothing to me.

Thirty Two

I try calling Cameron for the fifth time today, but he doesn't answer.

I just want to know what the fuck Alexander said to him. I want to make sure that he is okay and that he doesn't think I’m a heartless bitch, but he isn't answering.

I mean maybe it's for the best, I do need to drop him, but I wanted to do it on my terms. I wanted to make sure that we would at least be friends or acquaintances because Cameron is a good person and I wish that we would remain friends.

I have a meeting with my parents soon. My dad said that he wants to talk to Alexander and me.

After Alexander exposed me, I left him alone in the room and went to Rowan who was still waiting for me in the car. He was smart enough to not question me or say anything. I can tell he wanted to ask but he didn’t.
