Alexander & Ella

Alexander

It was early on a Tuesday afternoon. I had a meeting to attend in less than an hour and so much to do. I should have been reviewing the budget reports spread across my desk before the meeting, but I couldn’t

Like the way Ella looked when she was spread out beneath me like a buffet that was just for me. The taste of Ella’s lips, sweet with rainwater from the storm. The sound of Ella’s voice when she cried out my name, nearly lost beneath the sound of the thunder.

But there was no denying it anymore–I was falling for Ella. Hard and fast and irreversibly. There was no going back from here. Not anymore.

Maybe I’d been falling for her longer than I cared to admit. Maybe it had started back when she was sick and I’d found myself looking forward to our chess games in the hospital.

Or maybe it was more recent, tied to the pregnancy and the way she stood up to Gabriel and the way everything had changed after I’d marked her.
