Chapter 28 Twenty-eight

• ALEX’S POV
• My mind was in a whirlwind. I stared at the assistant application forms on my desk, but they weren’t the reason my thoughts were in turmoil. I glanced to my left at the brown manila envelope sitting there, practically taunting me. I knew what was inside it, and I didn’t like it. Not one bit.
• Last night had tested every ounce of my self-control. Watching Flora stand there, drenched and vulnerable, had me teetering on the edge of losing it. And then... when I caught her in my red room, her curious eyes taking in every inch of my private space... I nearly snapped. It had taken everything in me not to charge at her, to claim her in a way that would leave her breathless and utterly helpless in my hands.
