then beamed. “You came to help us pack, too?”
Nico nodded his head. “Alec is parking the moving truck downstairs, he got a huge stack of boxes with the truck too which is cool.”
That was lucky because I didn't even think of boxes to pack everything into.
Man, I was so unprepared for this.
Today was going to be a long day.
“Oh, my God,” I whispered as my stomach burst into butterflies. I dropped my duvet back onto my bed in shock. I came in here trying to get a start on packing but any thought of packing left my mind when I saw Alec.
His long hair was gone. He had a buzz cut on the sides of his head, but the top was longish and pushed to the back, but some strands hung down on his forehead. I loved his long hair, but this cut allowed his stunning face more viewing time.
“You don't like it?” Alec winced.
The fucking opposite.
“You look so hot that I have butterflies,” I admitted.
Alec raised his eyebrows. “Really?”
I nodded my head. “Alec... seriously. You're unbelievably hot.”
I had to sit down on my bed so I could take all of him in.
I slowly scanned his sculpted body from head to toe. He was dressed in black jeans, a white fitted t-shirt and a thick unbuttoned grey cardigan that I got him from River Island last week. He had on black Timberland boots and I could smell his aftershave from where I was sat. It was effortlessly casual, but he made the look something to gush over.
It felt like the first time seeing him, and I couldn't believe how gorgeous he was.
I couldn't believe he was my fiancé !
“Are you going to cry?” Alec asked, then laughed.
The bastard.
I quickly covered my face with my hands and shook my head.
I was crying, and I was embarrassed because of it.
“Kitten,” he chuckled.
I kept my hands on my face and shook my head, again. “Feck off.”
I heard his muffled laughter, then his footsteps, before I felt his hands on my thighs.
“Look at me, my lovely,” he murmured.
I dropped my hands and opened my eyes.
Oh, Christ.
He was even hotter up close.
“Why are you so stunnin'?” I asked.
Alec smirked. “Why are you only now noticing?”
I growled at his teasing.
“It's still me, I'm still your Alec,” he said and brought his face closer to mine.
My Alec.
Mine.
“I'm so lucky,” I whispered.
Alec scoffed. “Please. The reaction you just gave me is how I feel every time I look at you.”
“Stop it!” I screeched and covered my face again.
Alec burst out laughing and grabbed at my fingers. “Give me your mouth.”
I lowered my hands and let his mouth seek out mine.
I lifted my hands to his shoulders then slid them upwards. For a moment I was saddened when my hands brushed over the buzz cut, but my insides clenched when I gripped onto the longer part of his hair. It was nowhere near as long as before, but I could still knot my fingers in it and that was good enough for me.
I allowed myself to get lost in his kiss, and barely registered that I was now lying down, and Alec was on top of me, pressing me down into our mattress. I was so wrapped up in him that I also didn't hear our bedroom door open.
“What are you both—oh, for fuck's sake! Can you not wait until later?”
I pulled away from Alec's mouth and screeched.
I wasn't naked and neither was Alec, but I felt like we were because the moment was personal and intimate.
Alec pressed his forehead into the space of mattress next to my head.
“Kane,” he growled. “Go. Away.”
“No,” Kane retorted. “You woke me up to help pack your shit, so leave your girl alone and come help.”
Alec snarled, “I'll kill you if you don't walk away.”
“And I'll sit on you if you don't leave this room,” Kane snapped back.
I couldn't help it, I laughed.
“Later,” Alec murmured in my ear then kissed my cheek.
I held onto his arms. “Promise?” I murmured back as he stood up and pulled me to my feet.
He growled down at me and angled his face to kiss me again, but Kane
