Alexander's POVIs it possible for a man to be sane when an innocent temptress is being devoured by his eyes?Nah I don't think so. Wearing my shirt, with her beautiful creamy legs on display Iris is looking like a fucking goddess. It's hard for me to take my eyes off her. And keeping my hormones on a leash is seeming like a tough task.Not having any more control. I took slow steps towards her, not once my eyes left her beautiful face.Sensing my movements Iris clutched the edge of my shirt tight.Her breath hitched when I reached her, chest heaving, turning my thoughts erotic. Iris's POVXander was standing too close to me, close enough for me to breathe his air but our proximity is not that is making me nervous.It's the intense emotions swirling in his eyes. Which had turned a shade darker?They are filled with desire.

Alexander's POVI don't know how long it had been since I woke up or since I am shamelessly staring at my beautiful Angel cocooned in my arms.Looking at her I chuckled at the way she is sleeping, her one leg thrown on my waist, face in the crook of my neck, tickling it with her rhythmic breath.The whole night I slept with her enclosed in my arms.She feels so perfect as if proving this is where she belongs.Looking at her I always feel so contented and warm, the Alexander Russo who likes to be in control of everything, can't even control this smile gracing his lips that crept every time I gaze at her beautiful face.I must say I am a lucky bastard!I know in many categories I don't deserve her but that's not going to stop me from making her mine.The thought of her being like this in someone else's arm burns me like I am on my pyre.Especially now that she has confessed her feelings for me, there is no way I am letting her go. No way."Mine. Only mine." Whispering I remove a stra
Iris's POVFor the last 10 minutes, I am dying inside due to nervousness.I don't know how many times I have wandered my eyes around the cafe so that I can avoid two pairs of black eyes, that are fixed on me with an analyzing gaze.I don't know what is he trying to read on my face but believe me now my patience is wearing off. And secondly, his gaze is of an accusing type, and now and then he looks at me as if he knows something which he doesn't want to be a fact. And that is making me nervous and I am seconds away from dying from nervousness.Though I believed Jacob would be the last person making me nervous but guess what I am wrong.But hey it is not my fault!He is scaring me. I don't know why but he is or maybe I do Because I never thought that Jacob Sterling would be staring at me with this intensity.He is still having the same look as if he knows something and confirms it on my face. As if my face is answering his unasked questions. Tapping my feet under the table and after
