Duke’s face fell, but he quickly recovered with another mischievous smile. “Fine. But promise me you’ll both come back soon.”
After a lengthy goodbye, the Alpha and his secretary were finally on their way back to New York. Olivia was so exhausted that the moment she settled into her seat, she slipped into a dreamless sleep.
Alexander, who had been watching her every move, saw the moment her eyes drifted shut. He rose quietly from his seat, careful not to disturb her. He retrieved a cashmere blanket from the overhead
compartment.
As he gently draped the blanket across her shoulders, his fingers accidentally brushed against her cheek. The contact was brief, but it was enough to remind him of the feel of her lips on his.
And now, staring at her sleeping face with that tempting thought in his head, all he could think about was tasting her again.

Alexander was conflicted. If he leaned down even by a fraction, his lips would make contact with hers. The desire to kiss her tugged at him, and he fought within himself for the next couple of minutes.
It took all of his strength, and that of his wolf to restrain himself from closing that final distance. He clenched his jaw as he forced himself to retreat and go back to his chair. He immediately reached for the glass of ice water nearby to calm his nerves, and well… desires.

What Alexander didn’t know was that Olivia had been conscious
through every agonizing second of his approach. She had managed to keep her body perfectly still, to keep her breathing steady enough to maintain the facade. But inside, she was anything but calm.
The moment she sensed him near her, her heart had begun hammering against her ribs with such force she feared he might hear it.
Just do it! Don’t torture me like this!
When Alexander finally retreated, a wave of relief washed over her, immediately followed by an unexpected sense of concern. The Alpha had been acting normal earlier that Olivia had forgotten he’d been drugged.
And now, with this repeat offense, she couldn’t help but wonder when the effects of the drugs would completely wear off.
Mike stepped forward at the moment and interrupted the reunion. “Actually, perfect timing! I just ordered some of those expensive ravioli from Alexander’s favorite restaurant. Why don’t we all head upstairs and make it a proper welcome–back dinner?”
Both women’s expressions brightened at the suggestion. “That sounds wonderful, Mike. Thank you.”
Ava nodded eagerly. “Count me in! But Olivia, we really do need to talk,” she added in a low voice, shooting a meaningful glance at her friend.
The four of them made their way upstairs together and headed straight to the dining room for the promise of good food.
Alexander surveyed his plate for a moment, then began transferring several of his ravioli onto Olivia’s plate without a word.
Ava immediately pointed her fork accusingly at Alexander. “Hey, that’s not fair!”
