Gwen felt a little bit well rested. She inhaled the scent on the pillow her head was on . It smelled like Alec and she loved it. She tried to get up but she felt a strong arm on her waist holding her down. Her back was on Alec's broad chest . She could feel his heartbeat. She slowly turned to face him. He was in a deep sleep . Gwen brought her hand to his face and traced her finger along his jawline. Her finger then traced his lips. She wanted to kiss him but she didn't want to wake him. She controlled herself and carefully got out of his grasp and walked to the bathroom. He legs were still weak and she struggled to walk but she was getting better with every step. She'd never entered his bathroom before. It was big. She looked in the mirror. Crap! She looked like a ghost . She suddenly felt very insecure about her looks. She had dressings on her head and neck.She took them off cautiously. Luckily she had no scars on her face.She made herself a bubble bath and took her clothes off. She slowly slid in and allowed herself to soak. It felt nice . She closed her eyes and let herself get lost in the peace of the water on her skin. She gently brushed her skin and when she was done , she wrapped a towel around herself . Alec was still sleeping. She didn't have anything to wear so she took her chances with Alec's wardrobe. She picked a black T-shirt and put it on. It touched her thighs but she still felt exposed. Well , she had no underwear on so she picked up one of Alec's. They were neatly folded in a separate drawer. He was one organised guy.
Gwen went down the stairs and a mouth watering aroma eluded her senses. She followed the smell and found an old woman in the kitchen. She was making breakfast and Gwen was starved. She couldn't stop herself from ogling at the food. There was so much food and there were only the two of them in the house. Gwen had to ask.
" Are we expecting some guests?" She leaned against the wall. The old lady just smiled and shook her head. Gwen's eyes widened. All this for two people? Then she felt her neck hurt and she remembered that she hadn't dressed her wound. " Where can I get a first aid kit? "
" I'll get it for you." The lady disappeared in to the other rooms and soon came out with a red first aid kit. Gwen thanked her , took it and sat by the window in the living room. She took out some cotton and soaked it in spirit. She prepared herself for the sting then she put it on her neck . She winced . She picked up the bandage but then she was stopped by Alec . His big hand covered her tiny one.His warm breath touched the skin behind her ear. He'd just showered and Gwen could feel his moist hair touch her skin. It sent tingles down her spine. Just then a drop of water from his hair fell on her skin. It was cold but it made her skin burn and when it slid down the shirt she was wearing and went down her cleavage , she bit her lips.
" Let me do it. " He turned her to face him. He dressed her wounds quietly and carefully. He stopped whenever she winced . Gwen was watching him . He looked divine with his concentrated look and his hair wet like that. The sunlight from the window added a godly touch. They enhanced the blue in his eyes which she thought was impossible. His eyes were already extremely blue.
" Stop looking at me like that or else I might melt ." He spoke without looking at her . Gwen didn't hear him. She just smiled and held his cheek. Alec looked at her, she had tears in her eyes. His brows furrowed .
Gwen pulled him in and kissed him. Her tongue gently parted his lips and entered his mouth. She was still weak so Alec's hands held the back of her head and tilted it . He held her in place and soon they were moving together. He dove into her mouth and bit her lower lip. Gwen moaned and held onto him tighter. Alec felt heat rise in him.He broke the kiss before he went overboard. He didn't want to do anything in her fragile state. Gwen's eyes were still closed . Their noses were still touching.
" Thank you for saving me." She opened her eyes and kissed him on the cheek . It was an innocent kiss but it made Alec burn. He clenched his teeth and fought his urge.
" Let's have breakfast. You need the energy." He had to get away from her. He helped her to the dinning table and sat at the extreme end. He watched her eat but just the look of her swallowing made his throat run dry. He didn't realize he hadn't taken a bite off his plate.
" Aren't you hungry?" Gwen took a bite of the pie on her plate. Some cream was on the corner of her lips.
" You have some..." Alec pointed at his own lips to show her. Gwen touched her lips . She licked the cream off and Alec hissed. " I have an important call to make ." he dashed up the stairs.
Alec was on fire. He poured himself some whiskey and tried to calm down. He had a study in his room. He decided to read a book , maybe that would shift his focus. He picked any book at random and opened it.
" Are you busy or just trying to avoid me? " Gwen's voice came from behind him. Alec didn't turn.
" Go get some rest. You're weak." He fixed his gaze on the book but he wasn't reading a word.
" Did I tell you I wanted to rest?" Alec didn't know what she meant by her words but before he knew it she spun him round and crushed his lips on hers. The book immediately fell to floor and his hands grasped her waist. He smashed her in to his chest till he could hear her pounding heart . He'd lost his restraint and lifted her without breaking the kiss. He placed her on his bed. His mind was numb from excitement. He took off his shirt and climbed between her thighs. Gwen's eyes were filled with what Alec dared to call the same thing he was feeling... lust. Her hands glided over his chest hungrily. Alec helped her out of the shirt she wore. His hand went below but he stopped and laughed.
" Are you in my underwear? " he slowly pulled it lower. Gwen just blushed. When he was done , he came to her bra and in a second it was gone. His eyes glittered as he beheld her naked body. He kissed behind her ear and bit her ear lobe.
" I promise to be gentle." He smelled her hair. Gwen put her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear.
" I didn't ask you to."
