Chapter 28
Alexander Winters:–
The moment we stepped into my presidental suite of my hotel, Cat was amazed by the luxury and beauty of the place. As she was exploring the suite, I was busy checking and exploring her out with my eyes. Her curves, her beauty, her eyes, she was just an angel made for me. Pregnant with my baby, and I swear I can see a tiny bump forming.
She suddenly turned around to see me watching and raised an eyebrow.
“Are you enjoying the view, Mr. Winters?” she asked in a teasing tone “I can tell you were having fun while watching.”
I smirked, stepping closer. “Immensely,” I said, my voice deep and measured so as to convey as clearly and consciously as possible how agreeably I had felt the contact of her hand.
Cat sighed but did not turn around as I approached her. “Well, you really should stop staring at women like that,” she told him folding her arms in pretend anger.
“But why would I, when the view is like this?” I replied, my eyes staring right into hers. This made her facial expressions visible, and no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t mask her small intake of breath.
She looked aside, feigning interest in painting on the wall. “You are just too much Alexander.”
“Perhaps,” I spoke, positioning myself behind her and placing my hands on her waist, we were close enough that I could almost feel her warmth.
She stood rigid for a second and then she swung round to confront me her eyes flashing and her chin up. “Don’t flatter yourself.”
I chuckled, leaning closer. “Too late.”
For a moment, it was as if the space between was charged and the only thing I could concentrate on was her. Her smell, the temperature of her skin, her parted lips, the look in her eyes when she was ready to argue, but changed her mind at the last moment it was maddening.
“I’m not staying here long,” she said after awhile, which indeed broke the hallowed spell. “This is just a transition of time before time decides what is best for me.”
I furrowed my brow and looked at her suspiciously.
“Well, Cat and what is there in the next step? Running away again? Pretending that nothing happened between us when our baby inside of you is the living proof that it did.”
She looked angry as her eyes narrowed.
“Don’t psychoanalyze me, Alexander. You have no idea what is good for me.”
“Maybe or maybe not,” I told him, my voice suddenly more tender. “But I know what is good for our child. And it is you and me. Together. Just give us a chance, kitten. Let down your defensive wall and see what’s lying ahead of you. Something beautiful, something you deserve after bearing so much pain since childhood.”
She blinked, and for a moment the steely look in her eyes faded revealing only those tightly knitted emotions she wished she never had.”
“I am trying to figure out.” she said softly, turning from me. “But it’s not easy, especially with Laila and everything else going

on.”
I touched her face very lightly and trying to make her look into my eyes.“And you don’t need to go through it alone, Cat. You’re not alone anymore. You have me!”
She glanced at my face as if desperate to find out if I was telling her the truth or not. When she found none, she came out panting heavily.
“I don’t want to come between you and Laila,” she said barely shouting. “She has been through a lot. I don’t ever want Laila to hate you because of me. You have a really great father and daughter realtionship with her and I don’t want to ruin it.”
“You’re not ruining anything at all, kitten, and you are definitely not coming between Laila and me. No matter what, we will always stay father and daughter. I know my daughter. She will feel angry and hurt in the beginning but she will come along, but I have figured you out too, kitten.
You want everything, you want me, you have feelings for me, but you are scared. You are scared of breaking Laila’s heart and for once I want you to forget about her and think about yourself.
Think about what you want not what others would want because I don’t think like that. I just go for what I want and I am not fucking ashamed to announce to the world or anyone, Cat, that I want you and want to be with you and our child.”
Cat stood rigid, her breathing shallow at the intensity of the things I said to her. It was the first time I felt she had no shield; there was no front she put up when facing the world. She was about to say something but only a small choking sound escaped her lips.
“I don’t…” she started, but then stopped herself immediately, and all she did was shake her head a little, like in disapproval, or to clear her head. “I won’t be able to go on with this, Alexander. It’s too much for me.”
I approached, until we had no space dividing us. My hands slid to her shoulders and I embraced her soothingly, as I continued to speak. “Then let me deal with it with you. Let me show to you that you do not have to go alone with it, Cat.”
“I know you’re scared. Well, hell, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t too. But I won’t allow fear to control our lives. You deserve more than that. We deserve more.”
Tears welled up in her eyes and her lower lip trembled, she didn’t want to cry though. “Alexander, I…”
“Say it,” I coaxed out loud barely above a whisper. “Whatever it is you want to say to me just say it.”
Her walls finally broke after the first tear rolled down her face. “I’m scared of losing you,” she said and she even choked on the last word. “I am afraid of what this could be.”
“No,’ I said, embracing her tightly, ‘You’re not going to lose me. Not now. Not ever.” with that said, I smashed my lips on hers, and wrapped my hand around the back of her neck to deepen the kiss.
