A novel of passion's flame chapter 33
NORA'S POV
I wasn't myself the whole day. My head hurts,My heart aches,My eyes felt heavy. I didn't do much today,I made Lily Lunch,Helped Mrs Knights with some things and I tried to avoid Alexander as much as possible.
I haven't even seen him all day and that made me kinda worried.... How was he feeling now? Was he okay? I was about to ask Mr Knights but something held me back.
I couldn't bring myself to stop caring about him despite him not having feelings for me. I couldn't bring myself to hate him-Not after everything he'd done for me and I can't even find myself hating him or stop loving him so it's best I avoid him.
I have to keep my distance and not get too close to him... Getting close to him would only lead to more heartache for me.
I let out a deep sigh, climbing up the stairs. As I approached my room, I heard voices coming from Alexander's room. His door was half opened and I hesitated for a moment before curiousity got the better of me.
I peeked inside and my heart sank. Tricia was kissing Alexander,it didn't take up to a minute before he pushed her away almost immediately but the sting I felt in my heart was still there.
I was about to look away but Alexander's eyes met mine in surprise,Our gazes locked for a moment and I felt my breath catch in my throat. I quickly turned around and hurried way with my heart beating fast.

ALEXANDER'S POV
It had been Three days! THREE WHOLE DAYS since I last spoke to Nora... I barely see her now, She doesn't speak to me, She doesn't look at me anymore and it was fucking driving me crazy.
I barely caught a glimpses of her anymore and when I did, She'd quickly look away leaving me so damn confused.
The only times I got to see her was at breakfast or dinner and even then, She'd sit far away from me as possible,Her eyes fixed on her plate or anywhere else but me. I'd try to talk to her but she'd always drop an excuse then she gets up and leave immediately leaving me helpless and furstrated.
I missed Everything about her - I missed the soft melodious sound of her voice,Her bright radiant smile that could lit up an entire room and the way her cheeks flushed a delicate pink when I looked at her. I missed the way she laughed,Missed the way she talks to me.
But most of all,Our beautiful conversations. I just missed Everything about her.
Why was she avoiding me? Was it about what my mother said? I doubt that but why the hell was she avoiding me!
Was it because of Tricia's kiss? Was that the reason she was avoiding me?
Did I do something wrong or say something wrong? I'd replay our conversations over and over in my head, searching for any clue that can explain why she was avoiding me.
This was killing me. I found myself thinking about Nora every single second, I can't concentrate at the office anymore.
I had also tried texting her but her responses were brief like she didn't want to talk to me and it fucking hurts. When I asked how she was doing, She'd reply with a simple 'I'm fine' and nothing more. '
That's it, Just fine?' I had Asked trying to keep the conversation going but she never responded. The conversation died leaving me feeling helpless.
I poured myself a glass of whiskey and brought the glass to my lips. I took a sip from the glass, feeling a familiar burn in my throat.
As I sat there feeling furstrated, I reached out for my phone and pulled out Nora's photos.
A smile tugged at my lips as I gazed at her beautiful face,Her bright beautiful eyes sparkled with warmth and kindness. Her dark chocolate hair framed her heart-shaped face, and her soft, full lips curved into a gentle smile.
Her skin glowed with a warm, golden light, and her features seemed to blend together. She was beautiful, inside and out, and my heart ached with yearning as I looked at her photo.
Fuck. I pulled up her number, wanting to text her,To ask what was wrong and why she was avoiding me but I didn't know what to say.
I sighed and set my phone down gulping another sip of whiskey,Just then my office door opened and then my secretary Aiden walked in.
"Mr Knights, You have a meeting with the marketing team in 15 minutes"He said.
I pinched the bridge of my nose, Furstration coursing through my veins. I wasn't in the mood for meetings. All I wanted was too see and talk to her.
"Cancel it"I responded coldly. "I'm not in the mood for meetings"
Aiden's eyes widened slightly,but he nodded. "Right away sir"He said, turning to leave.
"Wait"I said,my voice firm.
Aiden turned back to me,A questioning look on his face.
"Inform Tom to get the car ready"I instructed. "I'm heading home"
He nodded.
"Also, Send the emails to the investors regarding the Johnson account"I added, tapping my fingers against the glass. "And CC Klaus on the marketing reports,I want to review them as soon as possible"
Aiden nodded again,His eyes flickering to his phone before he turned to leave. "I'll get it done sir"
I watched Aiden leave and I sighed deeply. I was going to see Nora, no matter what. I was going to make her talk to me, make her listen. This time, I wouldn't let her avoid me.

The car came to a stop and I immediately got out of the car, walking into my home. My eyes scanned the hallway for any signs of Nora but she was nowhere to be found,I spotted one of the maids gesturing for her to come closer.
She approached me slowly, looking down at her feet. "Where's Nora?"I asked,my voice cold.
The maid's eyes widened slightly as she took in my Aura. "S.. she's in her room sir"She stuttered and without waiting for another word,I made my way towards Nora's room.
I could feel my heart pounding hard against my chest and I suddenly felt nervous like I was meeting her for the first time. I finally reached her door and pushed it open without Knocking.
And there she was, standing in front of the mirror, wrapped in a towel that barely covered her curves. Her Brown hair cascaded her down her back like waterfall and her eyes stared at me in surprise,shock... Like she didn't expect me to be here this early.
Her skin glowed under the light..Fuck that beautiful skin of hers,Soft, smooth, flawless... So fucking beautiful. The towel clung to her body tightly revealing her curves that fucking set my blood running,Her shoulders were slender,Her waist so tiny and her hips curved In a way that made my mouth go dry.
Her long legs seemed to go on forever and her toes were painted white that made them looked so fucking cute...I imagined her legs wrapped around my waist while I pound into her and those thick thighs of hers...Fuck I'm losing my mind.
My eyes trailed back up her beautiful body,My eyes locked with her..Those pretty eyes of her... looking so innocent, nervous and filled with desire? I made my way towards her slowly.
"Nora"I said,my voice low and husky as I made my way towards her.
"A...Alexander"She whispered,Her voice trembling.Her voice sounding so fucking soft as she took a step back away from me.
My heart is racing as I approached her,I took another step closer to her and Nora's back hit the wall. I trapped her against the cool surface,my body inches away from her. I could feel her shaky breath on my skin and my heart pounded in response.
Her scent...My God. They fucking messed with my senses. Her vanilla scent filled my nostrils and when my hands gripped the soft flesh of her hips, She let out a soft gasp...Her lips inches away from mine. Fuck,I wanted to taste those lips now, I want them pressed against mine.
"A.. Alexander...."Her warm breath fanned my face,Our noses brushed as I leaned in more closer to her, feeling the softness of her breasts against my chest and when my hand trailed down the curve of her body.... She let out a soft needy sound that stirs Something in my belly.
"Fuck, You drive me crazy"I rasped, brushing against my lips against hers and a cute little whimper left her lips and I was a goner. Fuck that sound,I wanted to it again,I needed to hear it again.
Without thinking,I crashed my lips against her and my lungs freezed. Fuck, Her lips Goddamn it... They're so sweet like strawberry, Soft..So damn soft. Her lips are so fucking soft.
I tilted her head slightly and she gasped against my lips but she didn't pull away,I gripped her hair softly and she whimpered again, Her hands gripping tightly on her towel....Her lips felt shy... Like she didn't know what to do.
I kissed her lips slowly and then she gasped, opening her mouth for me. Her lips part gently and I felt my head go blank,my hands gripped her tiny waist tightly pushing her more against the wall. Her tongue brushed against mine and I sucked it into my mouth.
She moaned softly in my mouth, Her arms wrapped around my neck leaving her towel and when her fingers tugged against my hair. A growl leaves my throat as I tangle my tongue with hers.
Fuck...I love her fingers in my hair.
My tongue plunged deeper into her mouth, Our lips moving in perfect sync.
As we kissed, My hands roamed over Nora's body,fingers tracing the curves of her waist and hips. I swallowed the gasp that left her mouth and she shivered,Her body melting into my touch.
Our kiss deepened, breathing growing ragged
Fuck, Fuck,Fuck, Fuck. Her lips,Her moans. I never want to stop kissing her. I've been holding back for so long,
I pulled back for us to get some air panting heavily and she lets out a soft disappointed sound that went straight to my d-ck.
Fuck.
I needed to pull away from her right now.
But the look she was giving me right now,Her eyes begging me to claim those lips again.
And then we were kissing again,More rougher,Our tongues fighting for dominance. Fuck She was mine... Only mine.
