Sold To The Untouchable Alpha novel Chapter 39

[Ivan's POV]

"Put me down!" Arissa hissed, attempting to hit my chest. However, her strength was much weaker than normal. Odd.

"I will soon enough."

Not letting go, I made my way into my room and went straight for the bathroom.

"I don't want to bathe with you!"

"Too bad. We both need to be cleaned up and then I want you to be present to report what happened. "

Once I was finished with my punishment, I would hold a meeting with Igor and Hans to discuss what happened and our findings.

"I can wash myself alone!"

"Not happening." I had a feeling if I left her alone right now, she would disappear. Even if she wasn't openly showing it, I had a hunch she was worried about revealing one of her many secrets to me.

I couldn't quite explain how I knew, but I simply felt it by how tense her tiny body was and how badly she wanted away from me.

Shaking off my thoughts, I kicked my bathroom door open and went inside. Making a beeline for the tub, I turned on the water so it could heat up.

A low growl that reminded me of a pup erupted from Arissa's lips, sending a wave of amusement through me.

"Just relax." I sighed, dropping her on the ground and beginning to undress. "I won't do… much… to you."

Realizing I intended to try something, she jumped up and attempted to run. However, I was quicker and grabbed her by the back of her shirt.

Pulling it off, I pushed her into the shower and followed with just my pants on.

"What are you doing?" She demanded as I used my arms to trap her against the wall. "Let me out!"

"Just give up already."

Leaning forward, I pressed my mouth against hers, earning myself a gasp of shock. Taking advantage, I stuck my tongue in her mouth and let a groan of my own escape as her taste invaded my senses.

At first, she didn’t move, didn’t fight, she just remained in place, allowing me to kiss her and press my body against hers. But soon, like the last time, her arms snaked around my neck and she met my hunger with her own.

Fuck, she drove me wild. However, I couldn’t push too far. I would have to take small steps in order to get to the final goal. In order to do that, I would need to truly understand her. That was quite a feat for me given that I didn't give a hoot about any woman I fucked.

"Ivan..." She sighed, her eyes fluttering shut.

Taking that as all the allowance I needed, I reached around and cupped her ass, lifting her so she could straddle my waist.
