Crossed Boundaries

Alexandra POV

“Enzo? Why did you follow me?”

“Open the damn door so we can talk, Alexandra.”

“I don’t need to open the door,” I mumbled.

“Would you rather I break it down? I can and pay for the damages later.”

I groaned in frustration. I yanked the door open. “I’m so sick of Alpha males!”

“What happened to your lip?” He marched into my apartment.

I closed the door and locked it.

“Nothing happened,” I mumbled.

“Xavier happened, didn’t he?”

He took my face in his hands before I could respond. “Bastard,” he spat.

“I’m sorry, Alex. Let me heal it.”

I blinked a few times. “You have healing powers?”

Mischief lit up his eyes. “No, but I can heal you. Want to know how?”

“I don’t know…”

My nipples hardened under my robe. I had a feeling it involved touching, as was the case with wolves. I’d already tasted him, and it was incredible, but he’d also already rejected me. However, the prospect of tasting him again made the possibility of rejection worth it.

Ugh, Enzo had broken me. He was turning me into something I wasn’t.

“I’ll take that as a yes,” he replied.

His lips covered mine. His hot and firm kiss led me to the couch. Ignoring the pain in my foot, I lowered myself to the couch. He followed. The urge to untie my robe was strong.

Enzo dragged his tongue over my bottom lip. A delicious knot formed in my abdomen. I grabbed his shirt and yanked him closer.

I expected him to pull away, but instead, he kissed me with the force of an Alpha. A hot, sexy and mature Alpha. The boundaries were about to be crossed again.

He broke the kiss and breathed in. “That should heal you.”

I leaned back on the couch. “Is that how you heal the other girls?” I toyed with a lock of my dark chocolate hair.

“Just you, sweetheart.”

A shiver ran down my spine when he called me that.

“Give me your foot. Let me see.”

“Are you going to kiss that, too?”

“Don’t tempt me, Cub.”

“Cub? You think I’m a cub?”

He lifted a shoulder. “Yes, a wolf cub. Your wolf’s just a slow developer. It’ll come.”

I bit my bottom lip. “So you’re not convinced I’m passed my expiration date?”

He picked up my foot and placed it on his thigh. I watched as he carefully examined the red throbbing cut.

“When you get this?” He disregarded my question and frowned instead.

“When you get hurt!”

He scowled. “Why didn’t you tell me about this? What if it gets infected!”

I sighed heavily. Nothing I can say will make this better.

“Where’s your first aid box?” He demanded.

“Under the sink,” I replied.

He marched off to my little kitchen. The open floor plan of the studio let me watch him. The Supreme Alpha should be governing his pack and commanding his army against the next looming threat, yet here he was in my house tending to my wounds.

Was I a lucky girl? Or would this blow up in my face like an exploding pie?

He came back and sat next to me. I let him work and watched him carefully. His focus moved from my foot to the wine glass on the coffee table.

“I didn’t think you were a drinker.”

“I drink… on special occasions.”

“What’s so special about today?” He raised a brow.

“I made it home alive,” I said, bitterly.

He focused his attention on me. “I wouldn’t have let anything happen to you, Alex.”

“Why?” My voice cracked. “You don’t even want to be near me.”

“That’s not true.” He squeezed my foot. “Things are complicated.”

“Because I don’t have a wolf, duh.” I picked up my wine glass and gulped down half of it. “I couldn’t even help you when a fucking tree fell on you!”

“I didn’t want you to help me. I wanted you to be safe inside the house.”

“Just stop! You’re the Supreme Alpha! You can’t be seen with a wolfless girl like me. You didn’t even want me in the pack to begin with.”

He kissed me again. Hard, sudden and dominating. His kiss said more than his words did. He branded me with his tongue. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer so not even a whisper of air could come between us.

“Does this feel like I don’t want to be near you?” He asked between kisses.

He traced little kisses on my jawline before capturing my neck.

“I’d be crazy to do that.”

I opened my eyes and saw stars. “Enzo,” I moaned.

“That’s Alpha Enzo to you, cub.”

A tremor went through me. My body submitted to him. I wanted more, I needed it. Judging by the bulge in Enzo’s pants he needed it too.

A hard knock came from the front door.

Oh crap.

“Alex! I know you’re in there,” Emmie sang on the other side of the door.

“Crap!” I shoved Enzo off me. “That’s my best friend. She can’t see you!” I hissed.

Emmie continued pounding on the door. “Alex! I brought gifts.”

I hurried to the fire escape.

“Alex, I’m not climbing out of the fire escape. Like a teenager. We’re both adults. You can have men over at your house,” Enzo said.

“Any man but the Supreme Alpha!”

He grabbed my cheeks and kissed me. My toes curled and my heart fluttered.

“I’ll see you later, okay?” He said.

I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. He walked to the front door and opened it. Emmie was about to knock again, but froze.

She gasped. “Supreme Alpha Enzo… Hi!”

Enzo smiled. “Good evening, I was just leaving. Enjoy yourselves.”

Enzo walked passed her. Emmie turned her frozen stare at me.

Heat rushed to my cheeks. I’m so dead for this.

She walked into my apartment and closed the door behind her.

“Alexandra Westwood, are you sleeping with the Supreme Alpha?”
