THE ALPHA'S RUNAWAY LOVER.

CHAPTER 3

EMMA’S POV

“ By the way, thank you for the drinks,” I told him, breaking eye contact. The music was loud but not too loud for him not to hear me out.

“ You are so beautiful,” He said, looking at me and I was forced to look away.

He knew what his eyes did to me, that's why I kept avoiding him.

“ I cannot let it go my dear, I am attracted to you in ways I have never felt before, it's as if we met in the past,” He said, holding my hand.

“ I have to go, I shouldn't be here,” I said after taking a deep breath and calming my racing thoughts.

The truth is that the feeling is mutual. I have never felt this level of attraction with someone else. Philip has always been the man I care so much about until I met him.

“ I know you don't want to go,” He said, holding my hand.

“ I have to go, my friend is waiting,” I lied looking over at where Tracy was to back me up but she was nowhere to be seen.

“ Unlike you, your friend is having fun tonight. She left with a gentleman,” He said.

“ That's not true, she would never do that to me,” I complained.

“ Then where is she? “ He asked and I didn't know what to say to him. Deep down, I knew for a fact that he could be right.

“ You need to let loose. You are a beautiful woman and any man would want you by his side. I want you tonight. I know you want me as much as I want you. Please don't hold back, for once think about yourself and what you need. I am sure he doesn't make you happy,” He said with much conviction and as far as I wanted his sentiments not to be true, they actually turned out to be true.

I wanted him. Watching him talk made me run my tongue over my lower lip seductively. I wanted his kiss. I wanted him to kiss me, and send sweet shivers down my body. I was craving to be the woman he takes home tonight but I couldn't help but think about Philip.

Philip is really working hard for his new firm and cheating on him would not be the ideal thing to do. I said yes to him, I said yes to marriage, I shouldn't be out here, flirting with another man yet he is working so hard for us.

I always saw one night stand stories and never once could I imagine that I could be that girl who would do the same.

“ Waiter, another round,” He signalled to him and another bottle was brought to our table.

“ Think about it, I am not going to rush you. Enjoy my company as you think about the wild night that the two of us could possibly have,” He instructed.

After a few sips of the drink, I got off the chair. For some reason, I was able to get back to my normal self.I had stopped obsessing over a guy I just met and started thinking about the man who allowed me into his house when I first came to the city.

Even if he is not home at the moment, I had to go home. He would never cheat on me and I shouldn't be doing the same.

“ What are you doing?” He was confused. He didn't think that I would turn down his advances and I was so proud to be able to turn him down.

“ I am going home,” I said.

“ Without your friend?” He asked.

“ Yes,” I said as I walked out of the club. I was staggering a little, I had too much to drink but thank goodness I was able to think straight and make the right choice.

Having a one night stand could be so many people's cup of tea but not mine. I am an engaged lady and I would rather be with my husband.

I got outside and the cold wind hit my face making me a bit sober. I was able to think about what happened back there. It was strange to feel that immense attraction to someone that you have just met. I honestly couldn't see it coming. If I was not engaged to Philip then maybe I would be with him at the moment.

I took a few steps towards the main entrance where I was going to get my cab when I felt him pull me close to him. His cologne made me know that it was him. He had actually followed me outside.

“ What do you think you are doing?” I asked after managing to pull away from him.

He had been hitting the gym. He was so strong and masculine and as far as I was pretending to be offended by his advances, it was such a turn on for me.

“ I have looked everywhere for you,” He said.

“ Clearly you don't know what you are talking about,” I said. I was done. I had to go home. I wasn't in the mood of entertaining his advances towards me.

“ I want you in my bed tonight,” He said in a deep husky voice as he started staring deeply into my eyes.

The moon was shining brightly hence I could see clearly into his eyes too.

“ Don't deny what you are feeling. What we have here is so strong, you cannot control it. I need you tonight,"he said.

“ I told you I can't, I am an engaged la…” I was not done talking, the next thing I felt was his warm lips kissing me.

I could feel the excitement gushing through my entire body. Heat seeped through my skin as if I was made of paper.

I couldn't resist him, I started kissing him back and each kiss made me want even more. My heart was pounding in my chest. I knew I was making a mistake but I couldn't stop myself. At this point, I knew that I would be warming his bed tonight.
