Hiding the Alpha’s Baby (Layla and Alexander’s)

Chapter 65 LAYLA

After the little show, the three of them lead us down another door. The air shifts, becoming thicker and putrid as we enter a

new area.

My eyes

catch sight of little girls kneeling on the floor in the other corner, their heads bowed and hands tied behind their backs. My heart sinks when I notice how badly they are trembling while pretending to be like dolls.

Bile rises to my throat. My eyes burn into the back of the three heads. Alex has his hand on my assche e k, keeping me in place. I don't think I could have managed this strong anger if I had not been held back physically right now.

It's a new batch. "Blue eyes chuckles.

*Who brought them in? I should meet the gem of a man once. I heard he takes requests and gets you the kind of dream toy. you want. "Alex muses, blending in easily.

My body shivers against his warmer and bigger one. He looks so different. If I didn't know why we were here, I could have believed he was one of them.

Cleo doesn't like to meet others. "The woman tells us and twirls around, pretending to be a teenage girl in a fantasy.

I glare at her. She throws me a smile. "I don't think your possession likes how you are checking other toys out

Is that right. Mio Tesoro?" Alex leans in and whispers huskily

I shake my head instantly and cast my eyes down. It's hard to breathe in here. Those children can hear us. And their fear of the future is making me sick.

She is my little treasure. She doesn't mind the side chicks." He says to them.

*

Such an obedient s I u t. "The green-eyed man mocks.

The grip on my ass becomes tighter, making me wince slightly. He is leaving marks on me, I can tell.

"Is that all you've got?" Alex changes the subject.

You don't like anyone? The woman gasps.

I need a redhead. I am quite fascinated with them these days. Let your master know so he can find one for me." He sighs, pretending to be disappointed and hopeful at the same time. "I don't think he will make efforts to -

"I will buy all of them." Alex cuts in.

My head jerks up and my eyes meet the side of his mask. I take in a shaky breath, calming my heart silently.

All of them?" Green eyes huffs in surprise.

"It will be enough to get your master's attention. "Alex replies.

"Are you that desperate for a redhead? "The man with blue eyes wonders,

"I can grab one from the streets but I am in a tight spot right now. I can't take the risk of spoiling my image so he will have to do the work for me. I need a redhead. Get me one. Until then, I will buy all of your girls. No matter how many are there. He says in a firm tone, making me shudder.

And what will you do with so many of them? A new flavor for every night? "The woman clasps her hands together and grins, displaying her perfect white teeth

"I have men. They will be rewarded for their services." Alex tells them as a matter of fact

"Do you realize how expensive that might be? "The green-eyed man sips on his wine before tipping the glass towards us.

Say the amount. You will get the money in an hour." He shrugs nonchalantly, as if money doesn't matter s hit to him.

Power radiates off him as the three people in the room stare him down. It must be rare for them to see a man who is ready to buy so many girls all at once just because he wants a desired girl.

I subtly shake my head and take in a shaky breath as the conversation continues. Alex will be paying them 10 million for all the girls in the room. I have counted them. There are 10 of them.

As I see all of this happening, my mind goes back to the time he tried to buy me. His aura was the same back then. His eyes, his stance, and his power were the same. He was the epitome of cruel wealth and perfection. And he is the same even now.

So it's true. He was trying to save me from Alpha Williams back then without causing much problem. I think he would have killed them anyway, but only after I was away from the scene. It's time we discussed this. It's time I asked him how I ended up with him.

After everything is finalized, we take our leave. Alex's warrior comes in disguised as his secretary and handles the rest of the deal, along with the process of getting all the girls to his place.

The valet brings our car to the front, and all the while he keeps me plastered to his side-like his treasure. Alexander Alvarez's treasure.

A man who has everything. Money. Charm. Sex appeal. Immense strength. Unshakable power.

And I am his treasure.

His

He helps me slip inside the passenger seat before he takes his driver's spot and we move away from the horrible place. My mind remains stuck in the whirlwind of different emotions and several thoughts. We leave the lights of the city far behind and move into the silent road. Forest surrounds both sides of the road, giving everything a dark and dangerous edge. I squeeze my hands into fists, trying to warm them while avoiding looking at the imposing presence beside me.

All of a sudden, he turns the steering wheel to a sharp right and the car comes to a halt with a screech. Before I register it, he is tugging me into his lap and ripping his mask off his face. My mask goes next, leaving us face to face, staring each other down.

He leans in and brushes his lips over mine. My breath hitches in my throat at the softness of the gesture.

I told you. You shouldn't have been there, Layla." He whispers, breathing me in.

I don't say anything and stare at his face. Every time I see this man in a new light, I ask myself the same question-when will I truly understand him?

"Talk to me." He cups my cheeks gently.

I don't move from my spot. Something is happening inside. The lava is about to explode.

I am sorry. I didn't fucking want you to suck my cock in front-"

My lips slam into his with feverish urgency and desire while my hand goes to his nape, holding him tightly. He gives in to me immediately and kisses me back just as hard if not harder. We lick, suck, nip each other. We breathe the same air and part only momentarily before our lips meet once more.

His mouth explores mine and my lips devour him. I don't know how much time passes, or where his hands are going anymore. I just know that I am thirsty for him, for his mouth, for his breath, and for everything else he has to offer.

I have never felt this intense need to hold him, caress him, and taste him before. My heart pounds in my ears as we finally

separate.

His thumb caresses my swollen lips while I pant heavily. I can't catch my breath, not when he is so close to me.

"What will hap- - -happen to the girls?" My cheeks flush as I ask.

His lust-filled gaze lifts to my eyes, making me press my lips closed against his thumb.

They will be taken to a safe house. We will keep an eye on the three fuckers we met today and when they will get in touch with Cleodore, we will catch him. Until then, the girls will have to stay with us. But after we are done, they will be sent to their homes. "He explains to me in detail. Why are you doing this, Alex?" I whisper, sliding my hands to his strong shoulders. My eyes search his reluctant gaze. He averts his eyes away, avoiding me altogether.

Gently, I cup his cheeks and make him face me again." Tell me. What happened to you? What did you not tell me that day? What did Levi avoid mentioning?"

Why do you think I am hiding anything?" He leans in, resting his forehead over mine.

"Alex. "I breathe." Alexander."

His body shudders when I say his full name. My insides warm up just like my cheeks.

"I can feel it. I can feel something happened to you. "I whisper. "I want to know it. I want to know about you. I want to understand you.

Why?" His nose nudges mine. My heart misses a beat.

"You want me to love you." My gaze lowers to his parted lips. We are so close and it's not about sex this time. It's just me and him and the insane pull between us.

Will you love me, 'Layla? If you know me, will you love me?" His breath stutters.

1 hold my breath, caressing his cheeks with my careful fingers. When I look up into his eyes, the answer to his question slams into my head, making me hyperaware of everything about him and about me. Maybe, I am already in love with him.

I hate him, but I love him.

Perhaps, that's why I can't tear my gaze away from him, can't bear the thought of anything happening to him, can't bring myself to forget about him.

The realization is like a bucket of cold water dumped over my head. I find myself tongue-tied and dumb after that. The axis of my world has shifted and I don't think it will ever go back to the way it was. My heart is his

His treasure.
