Alexandra looked out at the garden trying to find sharp words to say to him. But rather than the pleasant greenery in front of her, she found herself to be mesmerized more by his minty scent. She let out a sigh. There is no salvation for her, alright. She's trapped forever to his allure. Defeated, she spoke to him as a lovely wife would talk about her day to her husband. "She asked me to call her "mother". She wants me to relax as she has accepted me…"
"Relaxation in her presence? She is a snake, Lexa… Just be careful," Maximus' hand reached above to her chest as his lips kissed her earlobe.
"I know," Alexandra didn't think that his warning is needed and her tone was indifferent. "I don't…" she took in a deep breath as his warmth spread on her bosom.
Maximus sighed and walked away, leaving her sigh like a pair of bellows. She angered him, it seems and she turned and look at his stiff shoulder.
