559 Gangster (1/2)

She turned with a sheepish smile, and her heart tripped a little at the sight of him. His hair was disheveled and a little damp. His fingers were already busy unbuttoning his shirt, revealing the delicious and lithe muscularity of his godly body. His eyes, his lips, his face riveting in their sensuous perfection. This god of seduction was doing it again, and Abigail knew she could never ever get tired of watching him do this. Much more get used to it.

His gaze swept over her. Despite wearing a pajama pair, Alex's looked at her as if she was wearing a seductive nightgown.

”Did you see the boy?” Abi asked as Alex put his shirt on the chair and approached her.

”Yes, the brat is alone. The companions he was talking about are nonexistent.” He answered.

”Nonexistent?”

”He insisted that two elite vampires had escorted him, but the names he gave are unheard of. I called Zeke and confirmed there's no vampire with those names and features.” He explained as he unbuckled his belt. ”And Kyle didn't seem to be lying. I think an imposter had lured him out.”

Abi's brows creased. ”But for what purpose?”

”Perhaps, someone wanted to expose the presence of vampires to the world. I'm not certain yet but don't worry, Zeke's already dealing with this, my love.” He held her from behind and kissed the side of her throat.

”Alex…” She drew in a breath at the hot touch of his breath. ”I am worried about Kelly.” She added, causing Alex's lips on her skin to pause. ”Is there really no hope for them? I want to help them, Alex. I don't want Kelly to marry a man she didn't love.”

Gently, Alex turned her to face him. He stared into her eyes and saw the troubled and worried look in her lovely eyes. He drew her in his embrace and kissed her head.

”Okay, we will help them. I shall see what we can do for them,” he said, and he felt Abi sighed in relief.

”Thank you,” she whispered.

Alex swooped her into his arms. He gently put her down on the bed and then kissed her lips. ”Anything for you, my love,” he uttered.

…

The next morning.

Kelly arrived at the Young residence, wearing a pure black outfit.

She deliberately came home late despite the endless calls coming from her parents, telling her that Tristan and his parents had arrived long ago. Kelly didn't care, and she didn't want to go but knowing her parents, Kelly decided to appear still. She was afraid that her father might do something stupid because of rage and probably end up locking her home. She can't afford to be restrained or locked in the next few days. She still had to go and hunt for the men on her list.

Silently, Kelly approached them. Her father glared at her at the sight of her outfit. She wished he would send her away and get change, but he didn't. He was too eager to get over the talk.
