A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) novel Chapter 19

"Oh, I want, Sweetness! I do want now. You don't just get to keep him to yourself!"

He's sitting too close. If I tried to get up, I'd bump my face against his. So I remained where I am as I resume my screaming.

“Alex! Alex! Baby, are you in-” The yelling got cut off as Nick's lips covered mine in a crushing kiss.

His hands cupped my face as he swallowed the rest of my words. The kiss was full of hunger and demands. In that moment, I forgot that this male was keeping me from my son. Every pain he has caused me didn't exist as he teased me with his tongue.

He started to slow down and I gradually regain my senses. How could I have gotten carried away even for a second? I pushed him off with all my might, landing a hard slap across his face. I was out of breath when I jolted up the sofa.

To my utter relief, he didn’t try to stop me now. Instead, he rose slowly.

I wanted to scream Alex’s name again, but I couldn’t find my voice soon enough, so I rushed to take the stairs.

“Are you sure you wanna go that way? My bedroom is right up there. If you go any further, I’ll just take that to mean you want a continuation of the kiss,” his tone was sarcastic.

I halted, glowering at him. It occurred to me that I wasn't afraid that he'd make good of the threat. Rather I was terrified that I would let him continue what he started.

“Get me my son right now!” I snapped.

“I’ve told you, I will. What you need to do is easy. I want to hear it from that mouth of yours… Tell me Alex is my son.”

I was flustered and confused and still feeling weirdly tingly from the unexpected kiss. I hated to have those words leave my lips. As far as I'm concerned, my son has no father. His family consists of me and his grandfather. I wanted nothing more than to leave this place with my child. This male came into town with the sole purpose of interrupting my peaceful life.

“He’s-”

“Mommy!”

He reached for Alex, but I held on tighter. It was no use. The confusion and anxiety in my son’s eyes tore at my heart as Nick forced him from my arms.

Alex started to cry, and so did I. Nick carried him back into the living room and up the stairs as Tony appeared from nowhere. He and the beta held me, making sure I didn’t go after them.

“Jake, please,” I begged. “I can’t live without him.”

The beta is as cold and indifferent as four years ago. He and the Tony guy forced me into the elevator.

“Her meeting with Mr. Reign is over,” he said to the operator, signaling that I was not to be allowed back upstairs. A female guard came forward to take my arm, preventing me from getting back out.

“Jake! Jake!” I screamed. "Please!"

The door slid shut and started its descent.
