THE ADRENALINEUntil an idea rushed into his head and in which he never would have spluttered out in his right mind. "Come strip for me tomorrow morning. Right here in my room."His eyes held seriousness as he muttered, while his eye contact with her never eased. She fiddled with her palms, the dishes in her hand making creaks that caused her to glance down at it.Tightening her hand down on it, a bile rose in her throat as she bobbed her head, giving him an affirmative nod.Even though he doesn't seem to care about whether she's agreeing of he curtly dismissed her, turning his back on her.It felt as though she was hearing things with her eyes as she went out of his room. Closing the door, she backed the wall and let out a sigh, palming her face. She's really going to do that?Rubbing her face, she went over to the kitchen with the dishes. Placing it inside the sink, she points it out for the maid by the sink before grabbing a bottle of water and going out of the kitchen."Hell Madon
FINDING A MEANSMadonna's pov"Get started."I almost flinched back at the gruff order. I don't even realize I had stepped foot inside until the door was jammed closed behind me by the guard.He plopped down on the swivel chair, crossing his leg and facing my direction as he awaits me. I scanned through the room to realize we were currently in that same room we used the last time.Hearing him fake a voice, my head snapped towards him."You're delaying me. I have somewhere to be." He told me and I nodded, tucking a strand of my hair behind her ear.It wasn't easy. I'm going to mess up if I just go right to that podium. "Can we uhm- Can we postpone it and make it some other time? Tonight or tomorrow. I just can't..."I was still saying when he rose up a finger in the air, hushing me up."And why is that? Haven't I given you enough time to prepare? I gave you the whole of yesterday to get yourself together but here you are feeding me with excuses. Why is that?" Offended, he raised a brow
HE'S CHANGEDMadonna's povIt's been three days now and after I'd stripped for Alpha Geneva, I did the same for Alpha Oliver the next day and for Alpha Xavier yesterday night.And I won't lie, I received such a kind of reaction that I never expected from Alpha Oliver while at it.I remembered how his face was gleaming brightly the whole moment and if I hadn't known better, I would have said he wasn't enjoying a bit of it. This stripping stuff for the Alphas is getting much more intense day by day. The only person I know that doesn't seem quite moved was Alpha Geneva. Well, they all hate me so I shouldn't expect much from either one of them.I didn't go for the hike. I wanted to. I told myself over and over again that I was a strong, successful young woman that could do whatever she put her mind to. If I wanted to go on that hike with some maids then there was nothing that could hold me back. Besides, they had noise makers and bear spray, how dangerous could it be? But Savannah's wis
- MOMENTS WITH HIMMadonna's povMy eyes dropped to my hands and I stared at them long and hard, like they would somehow tell me what to say inresponse to that. I was used to men giving me compliments. They told me how sexy I was and how wonderfully my body made them feel all the time when I was dancing.But when I was wearing street clothes and had almost no makeup on men hardly even glanced atbme. And there was just something about the way the words came out of Oliver's mouth that made them seem so much more intense. He said it like he saw my soul, like he knew my heart as well as he knew my face."Here, I bought a caramel flavored concoction and a normal London Fog. Something sweet and fun or something classic," he said, breaking the silence as he pushed the two cups towards me, "I wasn't sure which one you would prefer.""I'm a sucker for sweet drinks," I admitted, pulling the cup towards me. I glanced at him very briefly then and saw that he was still inspecting me with a gentle
STRANGE Madonna's pov"Where are you taking me?" I demanded, but went with him anyway. I felt like I should've been scared of him; he had dragged me out of the botanical gardens without saying more than a few words. I should've been scared of how I was feeling as well. My body was scorching, yet I didn't feel sick. If anything I felt wonderful, even though it felt like my body was not my own. But I still trailed along behind him."To my car," he answered, his voice gruff. I was vaguely aware of the transition in Oliver. The softness and sweetness- that floated around him had then dissipated into the air. He wasn't shooting me easy smiles.and trying to flirt with me in his sideways fashion. He was serious and the way he held onto my sleeve and pulled me along spoke to the urgency of the situation. It was another thing that should've made me uneasy. It didn't.Instead, I found the power and dominance incredibly sexy. Still I knew there was something that wasn't sitting quite right.
SOMEONE ELSEMadonna's povI woke up with a pounding headache. I equated it to dehydration right away, wondering if I had gotten too drunk and had one hell of a dream. The only reality I could recall immediately was picking out a dress with Charlotte.But when I sat up, laying a hand on my throbbing forehead my eyes widened in terror. I was not in my bed. I was in the hotel room. A hotel room with a giant television, a glorious view of the mountains, and modern décor. All of those added together made a room I couldn't afford, even after a particularly good night. It was something only the son of rich parents could afford.I was in the suite's room. And I was nearly naked, wearing only my black, lacey bra and satin panties. I gasped, scrambling to pull the top sheet over my bare skin. But there was no one else in the hotel room to shield my body from. I barely remembered Oliver leaving the room, but it seemed that he wasn't back yet. That seemed strange in itself as the sun had been
THE STRANGE MANWith anger radiating all of his body, Oliver stomped into the living room, shrugging off his jacket and throwing it behind him at the maid trailing behind him. "Prepare me a cold bathe!"Then he stalked off, making his way up the stairs and ignoring Xavier's and Geneva's gaze on him. Madonna who was by that time about taking the stairs down abruptly stopped and leaned against the wall, arms spreaded against it as she willed herself motionless. Even though she wasn't so sure he was going to sight her, she stayed that way.And luck been on her side, Oliver took off to his room with a single glance back.Instead of letting out a relieved sigh, she began pacing back and forth the hallway. Now what shit had she gotten herself into? Or will she keep hiding? This hide and seek game she's visibly starting wouldn't last her an eternity.This will possibly change between them under this roof and she's fully aware both of them can't ignore what had took place between them yester
KEEP THE SECRET (II)Tears was streaking down her face as she was about muttering the last few words."...It seemed as though it was his handiwork." She finished and Savannah moved closer to her, hugging her tight and also patting her head; smoothening it down softly. Resting her jaw on her head, both stayed in silence with no words needed to be muttered.It was as though a mother cradling her baby but it was more than that. It was as if she's seeking comfort and that she found in their hugs till she was comfortable and they both pulled away to stare at each other's face."You're okay now right?" Savannah asked and she nodded, dabbing at the tears on her cheeks with her palms and gjving a smile.Savannah smiled at that before shifting back to her side of the bed and then patting beside her on the bed, she beckoned, " C'mon, Lay down and lay your head. Once you wake up, you'll feel even more refreshed."Madonna gave a short nod and did as told. Savannah smiled, covering both their bod
