Chapter 456 Patrick’s Past
Briley was stunned, and her mind went completely blank.
She wasn’t expecting Alex to react this way after waking up.
His handsome face was so close to hers, his warm breath fanning her cheeks. She was enveloped in his unique masculine scent, making her heart race even faster.
The next thing she knew, Alex was kissing her.
It was a gentle kiss, a cautious exploration. It was completely different from the kisses she had had with the boorish, self- centered men she had dated in the past.
This was new to Briley, and she was utterly captivated.
Whatever thoughts remained in her head flew out the window, her entire rationality broken by that kiss.
She couldn’t help herself from closing her eyes and kissing him back.
“Alex,” Briley whispered, her voice soft and alluring.
She gazed at the man in front of her, her eyes brimming with desire and affection. “I want you…”
Alex’s breath caught, his eyes suddenly ablaze with lust. His control seemed to snap right on the spot as he growled, “Sadie.”
Then, he went on to have sex with Briley.
When morning came, the beams of sunlight that filtered through the room were harsh and punishing Alex’s brows burrowed as he slowly blinked his eyes open.
His head was still pounding from the alcohol, but something felt different about his body.
Then he turned his head to the side, and was greeted by an unfamiliar face.
All at once, memories of the previous night came rushing back to him–the bar, all the alcohol, and the warm body against
his.
Alex’s face turned dark.
He sat up abruptly before shoving the woman beside him away.
Briley was still deep in slumber at that point, but she was rudely awakened when she rolled to the edge of the bed and eventually fell. She whimpered upon impact, and when she sat up, she was met with Alex’s back.
Her face broke into a shy smile as she recalled what had happened between them last night.
“Alex,” Briley called out softly, making sure she injected just enough sweetness and seduction into her voice.
But Alex seemed oblivious to her presence. He shot out of bed and began to dress, his movements brisk and decisive.
Briley’s smile froze. Something was not right.
