Chapter 5: The Father

"Lilly! There you are!" A deep husky voice stated with a hint of worry. Turning around I saw an individual that somehow resembles the individual that has gained my hatred in just a couple of hours of meeting him. He ran over and took Lilly from my arms which made me miss holding the bundle of joy.

Even though I've only met her for a very short amount of time, we have formed a bond over her being just so damn adorable. Still slightly upset on the fact that this stranger, presumably her father, even though he seems no older than me, I couldn't help but smile over their bond.

"Hello, my name is Elijah, and thank you for looking after my daughter," he said with a cute smile with the most noticeable dimples. I couldn't help but smile back and state that it was nothing since Lilly was such an adorable child that it allowed me to feel better than before.

"Ha thanks, she gets all her cuteness from her mother," he stated which made me once again smile since the look of adoration and love was glowing on his face, you could tell that he loved Lilly's mother.

"Sorry, it's currently late and Lilly has school tomorrow, so if you don't mind that we have to leave Miss Nevaeh" Through him announcing this I realised just how late it was and I bid them goodbye but before they left, Lilly spoke up.

"Nev, would you come over and play princess with me?" her big doll-like eyes stared deep into my soul and it felt like with just one 'no' I could make her tear up. Her eyes were like a source of hypnotist equipment to allow any adult to agree.

Which made me agree to her question, this was a correct answer for her as she squealed and ran to me for a hug before she ran back to Elijah. Bidding goodbye but before leaving Elijah gave me his business card so we can set a date for my playdate with Lilly. Smiling at the thought of meeting the bundle of joy was on my mind the rest of the night.

----Alec's POV----

Her anger towards me was inevitable the moment I dragged her onto the dance floor. I knew exactly what I was getting myself into, but I couldn't help it. It was like a piece of me wouldn't allow me to let her go. I couldn't fully understand where the urge came from but the moment I laid eyes on her, it was like something change within me and I didn't like that every male in the venue was staring straight at her whilst undressing her with their eyes in the process.

I couldn't understand where this possessive nature came from. The last time that this feeling was present was when I was with her. But after, no female was able to make me feel possessive towards them. No amount of sex or flirtation had allowed a female to make me feel what Nevaeh was able to make me feel with just one look. The moment I saw her talking with my mother, I couldn't help but smile over the fact that my mom had taken a liking to her.

The moment I walked up to her it was like my whole body was moving on its own and I couldn't control it. How could you possibly describe a feeling that has never been present in your life for the last 5 years?

To be honest, I don't think I was even this possessive with her to the point I wanted to announce it to the world that she belonged to me. Yet what was I thinking when I took her onto the stage for her first dance. I knew exactly what that dance meant to their family and I decided to still go ahead with it. I knew that I wasn't thinking straight when I had walked up to her and my mom. I was just the fact these group of men behind me were talking very inappropriate about her body and I couldn't help it.

I couldn't help but get angry at them for speaking about her and had a gut feeling to just protect her. This was so confusing me to me that when I went back Lucas, he stared at me like I've gone completely mad. Yet I felt refreshed and longing to have her in my arms again.

"Dude. What the hell was that! You just claimed Miller's youngest daughter as your own! Do you know what you've just done?” He started with the rant over my shocking actions, which I couldn't help but feel proud. I couldn't help but maybe believe that nobody else would talk about her body disrespectfully.

However, that is the one thing that I couldn't understand. I was the same with females. Would use them male gaze on them and talk so disrespectfully with their body and would use their body and disregard them later to make myself feel better.

"Man. I don't understand what came over me. It was like I was not in control of my body and walked over there to drag her onto the dance floor without knowing the consequences." I tried to reason my actions with the idea of not knowing but deep down I fully knew the consequences and I still went ahead.

"Dude maybe you need to get laid again!" Lucas stated, which did make me wonder if it were just because I needed to get laid and all these feelings would disappear.

"Yeah Maybe," I replied with no enthusiasm as my eyes wandered over the venue and found Nevaeh talking to a male and a young infant in between them. She was smiling down at the young infant which somehow made me smile. Finding out that she likes children made me somehow happy without any known reason.

"Yeah, maybe I should get laid tonight," I said with more enthusiasm and decided to head over to the group of girls who have been staring at me since I've walked in but haven't approached us at all.

"I'm going to make my move; I'll see you tomorrow then". The moment I said that I made my move towards one of the females that seem like they would give me a good night and allow me to forget about a specific woman in the hugging emerald dresses that allowed her eyes to pop.

"Hello, beautiful ladies," I announced whilst taking a sip from my drink. The blonde of the group gave me her name, but I didn't think it was necessary to remember it seeing I'd probably not even stay until tomorrow.

"Well beautiful, how about we get out of here to have some fun?" I couldn't be sure that she was giving me to right signals so being straight up was the only way I can be sure. I stared into her eyes whilst slowly caressing her back.

"Allow me to show you what you've been missing all this time baby." Slowly, she was becoming aroused and knowing that it was time to pull my last move on her before taking her to the nearest hotel and have my way with her.

Her giggles tell me that she was ready to leave without the last move but to make sure she was, I kissed her on the neck and her goosebumps began to form.

"Now baby, let's go" I took a hold of her hand and started to make my way out of this venue and have another night with another female. 

-------

"What the hell are you doing! It's 2 am! why the hell are you at my door this early. Shouldn't you be with the girl you took home." Lucas was half asleep when I knocked on his door, but I was frustrated.

Sexually frustrated. This was all because of the one emerald eye female with long curly hair and lushes’ pink lips. Taking that blonde girl back to the hotel was a huge mistake. The moment we entered the room; we couldn't keep our hands off each other.

However, for some reason, I just couldn't function properly. In all my sexually active years, I've never had the problem of getting hard. I just physically couldn't with her smiling down at me whilst taking her skin-tight dress off. Normally this would have made me gone crazy and already be in the middle of giving her the best time.

However, tonight. All that I was thinking in my mind was how wrong it was, how I shouldn't be here and how I should be still at the venue looking out for her. Making sure that nobody would flirty with her and making sure she was having fun.

I knew that it was a mistake, but I decided on taking the female to the hotel room.

"I couldn't fuck her."

"What the hell do you mean! For everything that I did, sending drinks to them saying it was from you and finally pointing them out to you so you could make your move and you saying at 2 am that you couldn't fuck her! What a waste of time and money"

"I know. I don't understand what is wrong with me."

"Man does this have to do with someone in a green dress yesterday that you couldn't keep your eyes off." He snickered whilst leading me towards the kitchen and took two tumblers out and poured some whiskey in them.

"I don't know what's wrong with me. You saw how I acted at the gathering. You saw that I dragged her onto the dance floor and took her first dance. Yet we both knew what the meaning of that dance was, and I couldn't care less. All I wanted was to make sure that the ground of men behind us would stop with their words. This is nothing like my normal personality" I took a large gulp of the whiskey and sighed.

"I could tell. You knew how shocked I was when you came back from the dancefloor and didn't even seem phased with your action of claiming one of the Miller's daughters in front of all those reporters."

Ugh, what the hell is wrong with me" as I poured some more whiskey into the tumblers.

"Have you seriously taken a liking to her that you could be wanting to risk your role as the notorious bachelor in the business world. Do you like her that much that you wouldn't mind leaving your player tendencies behind and sticking to only one female?" He stated with uttermost seriousness of what it would possibly be like if what I am feeling is true affection and attraction rather than just lust towards a female’s body.

"Yes."
