Chapter 269

“Yes, Olivia,” he murmured, and his eyes shot down to my lips. “Let’s be irresponsible tonight. You already seem calmer. You’re always too tense. Let’s just relax tonight.”

For some reason, my guard came up. This almost seemed too easy. Alexander was being too nice to me. Did he have an ulterior motive? I thought that he would have been sarcastic or shut down like he did when we had our misunderstanding in the bamboo forest. I figured that if I asked if we could be irresponsible tonight, he would think that I was just trying to use him even though that wasn’t my intention at all.

Was I just being paranoid and reading too much into things?

There I went again with the overthinking…I let out a long, slow breath to try and calm my racing heart.

“Come on,” Alexander said, opening his door and gently pulling me inside. “Stop thinking and just be in this moment with me.”

My stomach flipped at the sexy grin that crossed his face. He was too handsome for his own good. He was dangerously good–looking.

A quiet gasp escaped my lips when I noticed that he had scattered twenty or so white candles around the room. The lights were off, and the dancing flames that were silhouetted against that wall made a romantic atmosphere that made me equal parts scared and excited.

I thought that he was going to lead me to his big white bed in the middle of the room. But instead, he sat down in the white leather chair by the window. When he pulled me onto his lap, I had to bite my lips so I wouldn’t moan out loud.
