Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0117 I dont suffer fools lightly , he continued , his bright , serious gaze locked on mine .

I felt strangely small under his stare , but I couldnt look away.

And I dont spend time with people I dont want to spend time with .

This arrangement we have- he paused , as if searching for the right words , -would not be enough to make me go out of my way for you .

My breath hitched .

His words , so matter of fact , caught me off guard .

The truth was , I hadnt been entirely sure why Alexander had continued to involve himself in my increasingly chaotic life .

But as he spoke , the certainty in his voice made me question everything I had assumed .

Dont ever make the mistake of thinking youre manipulating me , he said firmly , and for a moment , I almost flinched .

I dont act out of pity or concern .

I do what I want to do .

And right now , what I want is to make sure youre all right .

Do you understand ? I nodded slowly , though I wasnt sure I truly did understand .

His actions and words seemed contradictory to me .

Why would he care so much ? What was driving him to stay by my side , to protect me ? I knew there was more to Alexander than I had seen so far , but despite all the time we had spent together , I realized how little I actually knew about him .

I had no real ground to stand on if I wanted to challenge what he was saying .

So instead , I accepted his words for nów , even if they left me feeling more confused than before 1 So youll be staying the night , then ? Alexander raised an eyebrow , his question hanging in the air .

If you insist , I replied , feeling uncertain but resigned .

Alexander smiled , a look of satisfaction crossing his face .

I do .

Dont worry , the doctor tells me that youre going to be just fine .

You simply need to reach climax in order to dissipate the fever .

Youll recover after that .

That cant be right , I said softly , my voice betraying how embarrassed I was by his words .

He smiled again , but this time , there was an amused glint in his eyes .

Whats so funny ? I asked , confused by the look on his face .

You , he replied , leaning in a little closer .

My pretty puzzle .

Youre so strong and confident most of the time , but when the topic turns to sex , you become shy .

Why is that ? I shrugged , feeling self conscious .

Im not shy , I protested half heartedly .

I just dont think its a topic we should engage in … there must be something else I can do .

Im afraid thats the only option .

Youll only feel more sick until you take care of your desires .

Besides , you dont need to worry about embarrassing yourself in front of me , so theres no reason to avoid the topic .

Heat crept up my neck and into my cheeks , and I couldnt tell if he was being sincere or teasing me .

His eyes were too intense , too focused .

Well , thats good , I muttered , looking away , Id hate to be a nuisance .

If you ever become a nuisance , Ill be sure to tell you , he teased , his voice playful but his eyes locked on mine with a seriousness that made my heart race .

There was something in the way he was looking at me that made my blush deepen .

His gaze held an intensity that left me feeling exposed and vulnerable .

Then , in a swift movement , Alexander leaned forward .

This time , I recognized what was happening it wasnt the first time .

And instead of waiting hesitantly to see if hed change his mind , I moved to meet him halfway .
