Duke's face fell, but he quickly recovered with another mischievous smile. “Fine. But promiseyou'll both

After a lengthy goodbye, the Alpha and his secretary were finally on their way back to New York. Olivia was so
exhausted that the moment she settled into her seat, she slipped into a dreamless sleep.
Alexander, who had been watching her every move, saw the moment her eyes drifted shut. He rose quietly from
his seat, careful not to disturb her. He retrieved a cashmere blanket from the overhead
compartment.
As he gently draped the blanket across her shoulders, his fingers accidentally brushed against her cheek. The
contact was brief, but it was enough to remind him of the feel of her lips on his.
And now, staring at her sleeping face with that tempting thought in his head, all he could think about was tasting
her again.

Alexander was conflicted. If he leaned down even by a fraction, his lips would make contact with hers. The desire
to kiss her tugged at him, and he fought within himself for the next couple of minutes.
It took all of his strength, and that of his wolf to restrain himself from closing that final distance. He clenched his
jaw as he forced himself to retreat and go back to his chair. He immediately reached for the glass of ice water
nearby to calm his nerves, and well... desires.

through every agonizing second of his approach. She had managed to keep her body perfectly still, to keep her
breathing steady enough to maintain the facade. But inside, she was anything but calm.
The moment she sensed him near her, her heart had begun hammering against her ribs with such force she
feared he might hear it.
Just do it! Don’t torturelike this!
When Alexander finally retreated, a wave of relief washed over her, immediately followed by an unexpected
sense of concern. The Alpha had been acting normal earlier that Olivia had forgotten he’d been drugged.
And now, with this repeat offense, she couldn't help but wonder when the effects of the drugs would completely
wear off.
As she felt the aircraft begin to slow, she realized it was tfor her performance to begin. With a deep breath,
she opened her eyelids slowly, blinking as if she just emerged from a deep sleep.
“Mmm,” she murmured softly, stretching her arms above her head in what she hoped appeared to be a natural
awakening. “Are we in New York already? | must have been completely out. I'm such a heavy sleeper once | get
comfortable.”
The plane door opened, and Mike appeared at the entrance. His face broke into a grin at the sight of them. “How
was the flight?” he asked as they made their way down the stairs.
“Oh, it was fine. Quite peaceful, actually. | slept most of the way.” Olivia avoided making eye contact with
Alexander.
They soon jumped into the black SUV as Mike drove them back home. When they finally arrived at Alexander's

The four of them made their way upstairs together and headed straight to the dining room for the promise of
good food.
Alexander surveyed his plate for a moment, then began transferring several of his ravioli onto Olivia's plate
without a word.
Ava immediately pointed her fork accusingly at Alexander. “Hey, that’s not fair!”
