Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 135

hapter One Hundred and Thirty Five 

“Do you need some help getting up?” Axel askedne with a falsely innocent smile. 

“I think I can manage that myself, thank you,” aid, rising to my feet. I did feel a dull ache between my legs. 

“Are you sure?” 

“Maybe a little help.” 1 finally admitted. 

He chuckled, sweeping me off my feet. He placed ne gently on the couch, and he took a seat 

beside me. 

“I did warn you, but you are so stubborn.” 

“I didn’t want him to have me back so easily,” I murmured silently to myself. 

“Well, he did have you,” Axel said in a ‘matter of fact‘ tone. 

“Okay, you were right, I was wrong… and stubborn, are you happy now?” 

“He didn’t hurt you badly though, right?” Axel inquired, and I knew deep down he cared about my safety. 

“No, he didn’t, but even if he did, it would be all on me; I mean, I had been the one begging and pleading for it.” 

“He feels guilt, and he is worried too; that’s why he sent me here.” 

“I’m not really as soft and breakable as you both imagine me to be.” 

“Oh, really?” 

“I mean, I am not exactly as strong as you, but I could do stuff.” 

“Like what?” He mused. 

“I can shoot a gun, and also I could set a bow and an arrow; that is something.” 

“Riley I was only teasing; I do think you are a badass.” 

“You think so?” I asked, trying to hide my surprise. 

“You don’t know the power you possess.” 

“Are you referring to some kind of ‘inner strength?” 

“Yes” 

“Oh,” I say, disappointed. 

“There aren’t many that have managed to bring Thane to his knees, you 

know.”

“How did you know about that?” I asked, a blush spread across my face 

“I think I’ll keep that to myself.” 

“That doesn’t make me a badass.‘ 

“I would pay a fortune to see Thane on his knees and… naked -if I may add.” 

“I think we should eat; the food is getting cold.” 

“Do you want to be fed?” 

“I’m sore, not handicapped,” I hissed at him. 

“I was only trying to be nice,” he sa, helping me with a plate. 

“Uhmm Axel… I wanted to know if this bothers you; I mean, I can’t keep pretending; I love the both of you, but…. 

“Riley, you have nothing to explain. I am not bothered.” 

“Really?” I questioned. Thane had told me that earlier, but I had wanted to hear it from him. 

“You wanna know a secret?” 

“Yes,” I said, curious now. 

If 

you were ever going to be mine, I would have to settle with the fact that Thane would want a taste of you every once in a while.” 

“And what if… I denied him?” 

“How did that work out for you earlier?” 

“He hadn’t exactly forced me. 

“He would never have to. You don’t understand that you are the only one that can truly satisfy him.” 

“And how would you know that?” I asked before realizing how stupid my question sounded; of course he would know. “Forget I said that. It’s just… it seems hard to believe.” 

“Believe it or not. It is true; before you it had been casual and I could feel it, but with you it is so much more that I can almost visualize it.” 

“That must be weird for you.” 

“Not really; what I would call weird is having to feel his pain; that is the really messy part because he always gets himself into problems.”
