A novel of passion's flame chapter 35
NORA'S POV
"Because,Nora,I think I might.... I'm in love with you"
My eyes widened in shock, my breath catching in my throat. I couldn't breathe, couldn't think... all I could do was stare at Alexander. My heart was pounding hard against my chest at his words, and I could feel butterflies dancing in my belly.
I wanted to scream out of happiness... He feels the same about me! He loves me! Alexander loves me.
Alexander's gaze softened, his eyes warm and gentle as he looked at me. He reached out, tracing his fingers from my jaw to my cheeks, sending shivers down my spine.
"Please say something," he whispered, his voice low and husky, his eyes pleading with me to respond.
"I...I don't want to hurt you," I whispered, a tear slipping down my cheek. "H-how can this work? I'm not good enough for you, and your mother... she wants you to marry Tricia. You're engaged, Alexander. You can't just...just throw that away."
Alexander's eyes snapped back to mine, filled with a deep sadness. "Nora, please don't say that," he whispered. "My mother likes you, I know she does. She's always been kind to you."
I shook my head, feeling a pang of guilt. "That's not the point, Alexander. Your mother wants you to marry Tricia, and I don't want to come between you and your family...I don't want to come between you and your mother also"
Alexander's face twisted in frustration,His jaw clenched."But I don't want to marry Tricia," he said, his voice low and husky. "I want to be with you,I want you...hell I've never wanted any woman like this before... I've never felt this way for any woman before"
His eyes locked with mine filled with sincerity that made my heart skip a beat. I felt Butterflies dancing in my stomach at his words,My breath catching hard in my throat as I looked at him also unable to look away.
He thinks I'm special. My heart swelled in happiness. He wants me, Not Tricia. He wants me. Alexander wants me!
"Don't ever say you're not enough"He whispered, staring directly into my eyes. "You're more than enough. You're different from every women I've met"
I felt my heart swell even more,I couldn't look away from his eyes, couldn't bear to break the connection between us.
Who knew Alexander would confess his love for me like this? With me against the wall,In just a towel that barely covered me.
"From the moment I met you, You stole my attention...I couldn't stop thinking about you that day," he whispered and I felt my cheeks flush.
"You're so beautiful...The most beautiful woman I've ever laid my eyes on" he continued. "You're not just stunning on the outside, but your heart is even more beautiful."
I felt my cheeks flush with heat as he spoke, his words making me feel so loved.
"You're kind, compassionate, and selfless," he said softly. "You always put others before yourself, and that's something I admire and adore about you."
He leaned in closer, his breath warming my cheeks. "You're an incredible person, Nora," he whispered. "You're hardworking. Your smile lights up the darkest of rooms, and your laughter is like music to my ears."
My heart was racing now, my entire body tingling with excitement. I felt like I was melting into his gaze.
"You're the missing piece I never knew I needed, Nora," he whispered. "You make me feel whole. I want you. I love you a lot, Nora."
Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes as I listened to his words. No one had ever spoken to me like that before, with such sincerity and emotion. I was speechless, my heart overflowing with emotion. All I could do was stare at him, my eyes locked on his.
"I..I love you too"I admitted shyly,my cheeks flushing red.
Alexander's eyes lit up with Joy and a soft smile spread across his face. He looked really happy, relieved and excited. My heart warmed at the sight of him looking so happy.
"I love you too so damn much," Alexander whispered, his eyes burning with intensity.
"I love you too," I whispered back, my heart racing with excitement.
"I love you so fucking much," Alexander whispered, his eyes burning with intensity. "I'd do anything to make you happy, to see you always smiling. You want the entire city? I'd buy it for you. You want to go shopping? I'd empty my wallet, my accounts, everything, just to see the smile on your face."
"I'd give up everything for you, Nora," he continued, his voice soft and filled with sincerity.
As I heard his words,My heart skipped a beat, and butterflies danced in my stomach. I felt like I was floating on air,My heart kept beating fast against my chest.
He'd give up everything for me? The thought sent shivers down my spine. I felt loved. My heart swelled with emotion, and I felt tears prick at the corners of my eyes.
No one had ever said anything so romantic, so selfless, to me before. I felt like I was the only person in the world, like nothing else mattered to him except me.
"I want to wake up every morning with you in my arms," he whispered, his breath sending shivers down my spine.
My heart skipped a beat as I imagined waking up next to him, feeling his warm body beside mine, and seeing his handsome face first thing in the morning.
"I want to fall asleep every night with your hand in mine," he continued.
I felt a lump form in my throat as I pictured us holding hands, our fingers intertwined, as we drifted off to sleep together.
"I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy, Nora," he whispered, his eyes burning with intensity. "I want to be yours, and I want you to be mine."
My heart swelled with love in my chest. God, I love him so much. I want to be with him, to wake up every morning in his arms, to fall asleep every night with him.
He's so sweet,I love the way he looks at me, the way he speaks to me, the way he always made me feel. He's so kind, so gentle, so loving. He's everything I've ever wanted in a man, and so much more.
"Can I taste those sweet lips of yours again?" Alexander whispered, his eyes burning with desire.
My cheeks flushed with heat as I nodded eagerly. "Y.. yes, Kiss me Alexander," I whispered, tugging at his shirt.
Alexander's eyes darkened as he leaned in closer and our lips met again in a soft kiss.
His fingers roamed my hair, sending shivers down my spine as he tangled his hands in my locks. Then, they trailed down to my hips, his thumbs tracing the curves of my waist and making my skin prickle with desire. I felt a jolt of electricity as his hands moved lower, his fingers brushing against my thighs and making me tremble with anticipation.
And then, he grabbed my ass, his hands cupping my cheeks and pulling me closer to him. I gasped in surprise, my lips parting in a soft "oh" that gave him the opportunity to push his tongue inside my mouth.
Our tongues tangled together, dancing in a passionate rhythm that left me breathless. I felt like I was melting into his arms, my heart beating as one with his. The kiss was hot and intense, filled with a desire that threatened to consume us both.
His hands roamed my body, his fingers tracing the curves of my waist, my hips, and my breasts. His touch sent shivers down my spine, and I felt myself getting lost in the sensation.
I liked it..I like his hands on my body. I want more, I want this to last forever. I want him to be mine and he is.. Alexander is mine.
He pulled away softly, our lips separating with a gentle smack. Our foreheads pressed against each other, and I felt his warm breath on my skin.
"Are you sure about this, Alexander?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. "About us? About being with me?" I asked,my voice filled with insecurity.
Alexander's eyes locked onto mine. "Yes, I'm positive," he whispered. "I want this, Nora. I don't care about the engagement anymore. I want you." He smiled, his lips curling up in a gentle smile.
My heart skipped a beat as he cupped my cheeks in his hands, his thumbs tracing the curves of my face. He pecked my lips softly, sending shivers down my spine.
All of this felt surreal, like a dream come true. I still couldn't believe that Alexander, the man I had fallen deeply in love with, felt the same way about me.
"Would you like to go on a date with me?" he asked softly, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
I gasped, staring at him with wide eyes. "Are you serious?" I asked, my voice filled with surprise.
Alexander nodded, his smile growing wider. "I am," he whispered. "I want to take my woman out on a date." His words sent a thrill through me, and I felt my heart pounding hard against my chest.
His woman? I liked the sound of that. At this point, I don't care about anything else. I don't care about his engagement to Tricia, I don't care about the consequences. All I wanted was to be with him.
"Yes, I'll go on a date with you, Alexander," I whispered, my heart racing with excitement.
Alexander's face lit up with joy, and he pulled me into a tight hug. "I'll pick you up at 7 pm tomorrow," he whispered, his lips brushing against my ear.
I nodded eagerly, Kissing his lips softly again.
