Bonded to My Ex's Alpha Brother (by CalebWhite) novel Chapter 128

“Which one?” Derek suddenly asked, turning to me.

I blinked, surprised, until I realized he was asking me to choose a tie from Cassandra’s collection.

“Why me?” I asked, genuinely confused by his request.

Cassandra’s lips curved into a knowing smile. “She’s your personal secretary. She should do anything for you.”

I hesitated before pointing to a black tie with subtle textures woven into it. “That one.”

Just as I spoke those words, Cassandra suggested I should put it on him myself. “Shouldn’t a secretary know how to properly dress her Alpha?”

I approached Derek, taking the tie from the box. The thought of being so close to him, especially after our kiss the previous night, made my hands tremble slightly.

Just as I was about to loop the tie around his neck, Cassandra suddenly stood up. “Actually, that tie looks fine. You don’t need to try it on.”

Derek gave her an angry glance, but she was already gathering her things.

“Oh yes, I just remembered another appointment,” she announced, her tone suddenly hurried. “See you later.”

As she walked to the door, she turned and waved her fingers at me in a flirtatious farewell. “Goodbye, little Omega.”

The moment the door closed behind Cassandra, I stepped back, eager to put distance between Derek and myself. But before I could retreat further, he reached out and grabbed my wrist, effortlessly pulling 1. to his personal space.

His eyes captured mine, his voice dropping to a deep, resonant tone. “What makes my little Omega so eager to escape my sight? Does my presence make you uncomfortable? Or…” a dangerous gleam flashed in his eyes, “…perhaps too comfortable?”

Heat rushed to my cheeks, my throat tightening. “Alpha, I was just… fulfilling my duties as your secretary. Files are waiting for me to process.”

His fingertips traced along the inside of my wrist, sending electric sensations up my arm. “Right now, you have only one duty.” He picked up the silk tie and handed it to me, “To put on your Alpha the tie you personally selected. I want to see how your taste… extends to me.”

I moved closer to him, my fingers trembling slightly as I threaded the tie. I was surrounded by his scent, cedar and leather mixed with the unique smell that was uniquely his, making me dizzy. His breath lightly brushed against my hairline, and I

couldn’t help but lean toward him, unconsciously drawn to his body.

Derek’s gaze swept over my face, lingering on my lips, which parted involuntarily under his stare. My heart was beating so wildly I was certain he could feel it.

Chapter 128

“Tell me, Erin…” Derek’s voice was low as silk, with a hint of teasing, yet hiding an undeniable authority, “if I were to kiss you now, would you run away?”

Before I could answer, his figure was already leaning in, his hot breath fanning across my face. His gaze was that of a hunter locking onto prey, the corner of his mouth curving into a dangerous arc. My heartbeat accelerated sharply, my throat dry, shyness making me want to lower my head to escape, yet I was pinned in place by his piercing gaze.

Before I could speak, his lips pressed down forcefully, showing no mercy. This kiss had no gentleness, only naked possession and control. His lips were hard and burning, with an irresistible force, as if he wanted to devour me whole.

I gasped, trying to steady myself, only to be met with his deeper invasion. His tongue entered aggressively, carrying the bitterness of coffee and a flavor unique to him, spicy and captivating, instantly making my knees weak.

His left hand gripped the back of my neck, his long fingers tightening slightly, holding me firmly in his control. His other hand slid to my waist, his palm scorching, almost burning my skin through the thin fabric.

He pulled forcefully, and my body unexpectedly pressed against his solid chest, the hardness of his muscles coming through his shirt, making my cheeks burn even hotter.

My senses were completely overtaken by him. Each sweep of his tongue was like an electric current, shooting down my spine and exploding into a pool of heat deep in my abdomen.

My breathing became rapid, my chest rising and falling, shyness making me want to push him away, but my traitorous body pressed even closer. My hands unconsciously grabbed his shoulders, my fingertips touching his taut muscles, the firm feel making my heartbeat more erratic.
