Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269

“Yes, Olivia,” he murmured, and his eyes shot down to my lips. “Let’s be irresponsible tonight. You already seem calmer. You’re always too tense. Let’s just relax tonight.”

For some reason, my guard came up. This almost seemed too easy. Alexander was being too nice to me. Did he have an ulterior motive? I thought that he would have been sarcastic or shut down like he did when we had our misunderstanding in the bamboo forest. I figured that if I asked if we could be irresponsible tonight, he would think that I was just trying to use him even though that wasn’t my intention at all.

Was I just being paranoid and reading too much into things?

There I went again with the overthinking…I let out a long, slow breath to try and calm my racing heart.

“Come on,” Alexander said, opening his door and gently pulling me inside. “Stop thinking and just be in this moment with me.”

My stomach flipped at the sexy grin that crossed his face. He was too handsome for his own good. He was dangerously good–looking.

A quiet gasp escaped my lips when I noticed that he had scattered twenty or so white candles around the room. The lights were off, and the dancing flames that were silhouetted against that wall made a romantic atmosphere that made me equal parts scared and excited.

I thought that he was going to lead me to his big white bed in the middle of the room. But instead, he sat down in the white leather chair by the window. When he pulled me onto his lap, I had to bite my lips so I wouldn’t moan out loud.

He was hard. I squirmed when I could feel his hard length pressing against my ass. Alexander’s hands gripped my hips possessively, and the feeling of his hot grip just made me squirm even more.

“When you squirm like that on my lap, you’re really testing my self- control,” Alexander whispered, his hot breath on the back of my neck.

“Tll be good,” I promised and tried to keep still.

“Not too good, I hope,” he murmured. Then, he shifted me until I was looking at him. His expression became serious. “I know that you’re nervous about tonight because of how it could affect our working relationship. I just wanted you to know that I respect that, and I understand where you’re coming from.”

Was it true?

*Olivia*

I sat frozen for a moment, unsure how to respond. My emotions were swirling around me like a tornado. I was offended and sad that he didn’t think I saw his side of things. But my stomach was also queasy with shame because I could honestly see where he was coming from.

I took a deep breath and moved off his lap until I squeezed against his warm body in the chair. I couldn’t think straight when I could feel his hard length against me.

“It’s important to me that I hear you out,” I told him. “I want you to know that your feelings are important to me, too.”

His expression softened, and some of the tension in my shoulders lessened. I was glad that I seemed to finally say the right thing around him.

He took my hand and stared deep into my eyes. “I just want you to know that I don’t care about many people in my life. I like to keep my circle pretty small. But when I do care about someone, I become very protective over them, and I feel responsible for them.”
