Alex’s Pov

The dinner was going…..well. That’s one way to put it. I could see how she resisted putting in her all.

She doesn't even want to be here.

“And who am I?” I asked her

She hesitated, looking into my eyes. “A man who doesn’t take no for an answer.”

I smirked. “Maybe I just don’t want your no.”

She froze with her drink in her hands, her head bent, as she blushed hard.

“When did you turn to a flirt?”

“Am I?” I asked her, while she stirred her drink. Her eyes looked at me so seductively. She licked her lips and that action alone did a lot to me that she doesn't know. I wanted to be the one to do that.

“Let’s order…..” she said, shying away from the question.

“Yeah, let's order. Waiter!”

The waiter came and we made our order.

Emily ordered something simple, I also did. The waiter was gone and then came the quiet awkwardness.

“So, what is going on with you? I haven't seen you and Ava around.” I tried to kill the tension.

“Ava? Oh, yeah. She has been around but truly, I hadn't s

  • UNBREAK MY HEART   Chapter 85

    Ezra’s POVAlex’s living room was quiet again, but I could feel the tension, like my best friend had just handed me a grenade and was waiting to see what I would do with it.I sighed……EmilyOf all people, it had to be Emily.I leaned back against the couch, beer bottle dangling loosely between my fingers, and tried to keep my face neutral.Because I did understand him. More than he could possibly imagine.But if I said that out loud? If I admitted why I understood?He’d never look at me the same way again.I glanced at Alex, sitting across from me with his whiskey, his jaw tight, his eyes stormy. He looked more wrecked than I’d seen him in years. The kind of wrecked a guy doesn’t get from a bad deal at work or some casual fling gone wrong.No, this was deeper.Emily had sunk her teeth into him like a fucking vampire, and whether he realized it or not, he wasn’t going free anytime soon.And God, wasn’t that ironic? Because I was in the same damn mess with his sister.I took another s

    Alex’s povThe house was quiet except for the faint hum of the refrigerator and the occasional creak in the wood as the night settled deeper outside.I had left the office hours ago but even at home I couldn’t shake the heaviness of what happened with Emily.What I had done with her.What I couldn’t take back.The couch across from me was scattered with unopened files, a glass of whiskey which was already sitting half-empty on the table. I wasn’t a big drinker, not really, but tonight the burn of alcohol felt like the only thing keeping me sane.A knock at the door broke the silence. Three firm raps followed by one lighter one. That was Ezra. He knocks like that.I dragged myself up, running a hand through my hair before opening the door.“Finally,” he muttered, stepping inside a grin plastered across his face. “You know, most people actually open the door when someone knocks, not five minutes later.”I smirked faintly. “Most people don’t show up at ten at night with cheap beer.”“

    Emily’s povThe office was quiet again, except for the sound of my own breathing. My skin was still flushed, tingling everywhere Alex had touched me. I could feel the weight of what we’d just done heavy in the air, but heavier on my chest.I lay there against the sofa cushions, the scent of him still clinging to my skin, his shirt crumpled on the floor beside us. My dress lay discarded like some reckless secret I couldn’t take back.Alex leaned back on his elbows, his chest rising and falling, his gaze fixed on me like he was trying to memorize the aftermath as much as he had memorized the act.For a long time, neither of us spoke and then…..:“Emily…” His voice was hoarse, low, like gravel. “You okay?”I swallowed, pushing myself up, tugging the fabric of my bra back into place as if covering myself now would somehow erase what had already happened. “Yeah. I’m fine.”But I wasn’t fine, not even close.His hand brushed over mine before I could pull away. “You’re not fine. I can see

    Elara’s povThe moment Alex’s lips left mine, I could barely breathe. My chest rose and fell like I had just run miles, but the only thing I had done was kiss him back. I kissed him like I had been waiting too long and stopping was no longer an option.My body was betraying me, as it screams for more. His hands were large and warm, cageing me against the sofa, and even though he wasn’t holding me down, I couldn’t have moved if I tried. His presence was overwhelming, like every nerve in my body had shifted its focus solely on him.“Alex…” My voice broke on his name, trembling, almost pleading.His eyes burned into mine, darker than I had ever seen them. My lips still tingled from his kiss, my skin too hot from his touch.He leaned closer, brushing his nose against mine before his mouth found my ear. “Tell me to stop,” he whispered, his breath hot against my skin. “Because if you don’t… I won’t.”Stop? The word didn’t even make sense in my head anymore. I should have been cautious

    Alex’s povDinner ended on a strange note, very strange, but not in a bad way. The tension lingered around and it was as thick as smoke. Every time I thought Emily would pull back completely, she surprised me by leaning just close enough which made me have these crazy thoughts.We ate, though neither of us could pretend to be focused on the food. I barely tasted my meal. All I could think about was her hand brushing mine earlier, the way her lips had parted like she was on the verge of confessing something but she backed out at the last minute.When she excused herself to the restroom, I found myself watching the clock, restless. My chest tightened with the urge to follow her, to keep her within reach. By the time she returned, I had already decided something……I wasn’t letting her leave tonight without knowing that things had changed between us.She slid back into her seat, her cheeks a little flushed, her lipstick faintly smudged. My fingers twitched with the impulse to fix it for
