#Chapter244
/"This isn’t a joke or a game! This is my heart. My life. This is a big fucking deal to me. You have no idea how afraid of you I still am, in so many ways. You hurt me so badly Alexi and you cannot just push me around and bully me into dating you just because you decide to be fucking nice and say a few sweet things to me. This isn’t how it works!/" Tears erupt dramatically and blur my vision as I swing away from him to hide my upset, abandoning my cup but don’t get very far. Alexi catches me by the upper arm, naked arms in the flimsy negligee I’m wearing, and pulls me back into his embrace, wrapping me up and holding me tight. Giving me no choice but to remain his prisoner in a manly hug that’s close to boa constrictor pressure. He grips me tight, his own heartbeat pounding through his chest against mine, almost in unison.
