Bonds of the Alpha Billionaire (Maya and Alex)

Chapter 20

"Maya's POV-

The word hung in the air, a possessive claim that resonated deep within my soul. A spark ignited, a connection so profound it left me breathless, Then, before I could react, his teeth sunk into the soft flesh just below my ear, a sharp prick of pain followed by a surge of heat that raced through my body.

I tried to focus on anything to drown out the chaotic symphony within me "just needed some air."

"Air? In the middle of the bathroom stall? Did you suddenly develop claustrophobia? And who was that guy in there with you? You looked like you were about to eat each other's faces!"

Her bluntness, while unwelcome at the moment, did manage to break through the fog of confusion clouding my mind. Taking a deep breath, I reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her towards a quieter corner of the club.
