Alpha Love 16
Chapter 16 Every second Landon waited for Wesley to bring the antidote was torture. The heat in his chest was unbearable, his patience being tested to its limits as Amelia continued to touch him, each brush of her hands sending his mind into a whirlwind of chaos. At long last, a knock came at the door. “Mrs. Amelia, Mr. Harrington asked me to deliver something to you,” the maid’s voice called out politely from the other side. Amelia, get up and take the antidote. You’ll feel better once you take it. Landon’s inner voice was sharp, his frustration barely contained. But Amelia was oblivious to his silent urging. She clung to him like an octopus, her soft body pressed against his. She rubbed against him in desperate, feverish motions that sent a scaring jolt of heat through his every nerve. When her lips brushed over his chest, it nearly undid him. The sheer intimacy of the moment, combined with her soft, heated breaths, was enough to make any man lose his sanity. “Ugh, it feels so weird… Amelia murmured, her voice trembling as she mindlessly searched for relief, her mind clouded by the overpowering effects of the aphrodisiac, Landon’s internal monologue turned into a litany of frustrated shouts. ‘Amelia! Amelia, snap out of it! The maid knocked again, her tone a touch more insistent this time. “Mrs. Amelia, Mr. Harrington’s delivery is here.” The dual forces of the maid’s knock and Landon’s mental cries finally broke through the haze clouding Amelia’s thoughts With great effort, she pulled herself away from him and stumbled toward the door. Her sleepwear was a mess, half falling off her shoulders, leaving very little to the imagination. The disheveled state of her attire hinted at a scandalous allure, though it was entirely unintentional Fortunately, the maid was seasoned and didn’t bat an eye. She handed over the package with professional detachment, then turned and walked away without comment. The maid didn’t go far. She headed straight for Gloria’s room, her tone excited as she reported, “Mrs. Gloria, it’s done.” “Really? Are you certain?” Gloria’s face lit up with delight, her voice quivering with excitement. “I’m sure. Mr. Harrington sent something to Mr. Landon, and when Mrs. Amelia opened the door, she was blushing all over. Her clothes were barely hanging on her” “That’s wonderful, wonderful news. Gloria’s eyes filled with tears of joy, and she clasped her hands in fervent gratitude. “I just hope she gets pregnant this time. Although poor Amy… But never mind, have Aaron deliver the deed for the estate at Stonefield tomorrow.” Back in the room. Amelia finally managed to take the antidote under Landon’s guidance. As the burning beat coursing through her body subsided, her mind began to clear. That clarity, however, brought a fresh wave of mortification. Locking down at herself, she realized her clothes weren’t just disheveled–they were practically nonexistent. Her cheeks flamed again as she hastily adjusted her outfit, wrapping herself up as tightly as she could. Once she was decently covered, she stole a guilty glance at Landen who was still lying in bed. The sight that greeted her made her want to dig a hole and disappear. The sheets were in complete disarray, and Landon’s shirt had been half–stripped off, leaving his chest exposed. His sin still bore the faint, telltale trace of her saliva It didn’t take her long to realize it was all her doing. Her heart sank as she pieced it all together. ‘Oh my goodness. Did L.. Did 1/4 13:08 Sun, Dec 22 GG. Chapter 16 89%1 I really do this to Landen? Amelia froze, her limbs stiff with embarrassment, as if standing still might erase the memory of what had happened. 1–I’m so sorry, I don’t know what came over me. I just felt so awful…” she stammered, her voice growing smaller and tinged with a pitiful sniffle as she tried to explain. You nearly pulled off a full–blown seduction, and you’re the one who feels wronged? Landon’s exhausted inner voice quipped, his tone caught between amusement and disbelief. He had initially assumed, given her relationship with Zachary, that she’d have some experience in these matters. But this whole ordeal had revealed the truth–she was utterly clueless, an innocent through and through….
