“No,” I say.
“Yes.” He smirks.
“No, Alex….”
I twist, shake, and laugh as he hovers above me and tickles my sides childishly. My hands hit his chest in an attempt to push him away, but it’s impossible.
His pleased laughter joins my whiny giggles and fills the room with surprising noises. Everything becomes light inside me.
“P- -Please. No more.” I scream, trying to escape from his tickling fingers but failing every time.
He continues to tickle my sides and makes me breathless. I laugh, I plead, I find my heart go weak.
He flattens his palms over my stomach when he realizes I am really in desperate need of a break.
“I just discovered your grave weakness,” Alex says, a genuine smile playing over his lips.
“If you tickle me one more time.”
“You will what, Layla?” He teases and subtly tickles my right side.
“Please, Alex.” I gasp, giving him my best puppy eyes.
He grins before kissing every inch of my face. Heat rushes to my neck and cheeks, heating everything up. It feels so chaotic and soothing at the same time.
“I love you.” He confesses and pulls apart momentarily.
My heart misses a beat.
“I love you, love you so much. I love you, Layla. “He repeats, his smile widening with each word.
My eyes sting as I stare up at him like a statue trapped in time. Suddenly, everything around me has shifted in this sunny world that I am so scared to step inside, but-
I want to be here despite the fears. I deserve a little happiness.
LAYLA
After another round in the bathroom, we take a quick shower and dress up again. I walk out of the room, feeling the soreness between my legs, and head to my Baby while Alex goes to his office to hear what Levi has to say.
When I enter Ayla’s room, I find her and Daphne filling colors in the coloring books. They are both lying on their stomach on the bed, fiercely trying to complete the coloring before the other.
I smile and sit down on the chair in the corner while I watch my best friend and my daughter becoming oblivious to the world.
Daphne has played a big role in making Ayla feel better. I don’t know how I will ever repay this girl who stayed with me through thick and thin and made sure I was okay. Now, she is equally protective towards my daughter and looks after her like a mother when I can’t.
“I am done!” Ayla announces, showing the completed picture to Daphne.
“That’s cheating. You colored outside the lines.” She huffs, pointing a finger toward the coloring book.
“Aunt Daphne, don’t be a shore loser.” My Baby sticks her tongue out.
“I am not the loser, Sunshine. You just took the shortcut. “Daphne sits up and places her hands on either side of her waist.
“Not true! Tell her, Mommy. I won.” Ayla grumbles, facing me immediately.
Daphne looks at me from over her shoulder, ready to push forth her point before her eyes drop to my neck and her brows shoot to her forehead comically.
“Looks like a mosquito bit you, Layla.” A wicked grin settles on her lips.
“Daphne.” I sigh, warning her to stay quiet in front of Ayla.
“Are you okay, Mommy? Did it bite you hard?” My Baby jumps down from the bed, forgets about her coloring book, and rushes towards me.
“Tell her, Layla, if he bit you hard.” Daphne mocks.
“Yes, Baby. I am alright. How are you?” I bend down, pick her up, and sit her down in my lap.
“I am good, Mommy. Aunt Daphne and I colored, and we had so much fun.” She tells me excitedly.
“Do you like playing with Aunt Daphne?” I smile, patting her back gently.
“Yesh, Mommy.” She nods.
“What about Shawn? Why don’t you play with him now?” I wonder, looking down at her. She keeps avoiding Serafina’s son, and I need to know why because they were such good friends before she was kidnapped.
He-Mommy, He- – – “Ayla trails off, raising my curiosity.
“What is it, Sunshine? “Daphne rises to her feet and approaches us worriedly. She sensed the panic on Ayla’s face just like I did.
“He said! His Daddy didn’t want to let them take me, but he had no other choice. They said they would hurt his Mommy if they didn’t get me.” Ayla hangs her head low as she whispers in a quivering voice.
My gaze jumps to Daphne’s face. She has stopped at the distance of a step and is now looking at me with the same horrified look in her eyes that I share with her.
“I don’t want them to take me again, Mommy. I won’t talk to Shawn again. His Daddy sent me there.” Ayla snuggles into my chest and holds me tightly.
I cradle her trembling body in my arms. “Do you not believe in Daddy, Ayla Baby?”
“I do, Mommy.” She murmurs.
“Then trust him, Baby. Shawn’s Daddy will never take you away from us again. Daddy will make sure of it. “I press my lips to her head as warm tears start streaming down my cheeks.
“I will stay with Daddy. “She nods.
“Yes, Baby. We will stay with Daddy. He will never leave us, and we will never leave him. “I sniffle, pulling her closer to my chest.
After she finds the comfort she needs, she starts falling asleep. I hold her until I hear her light snores.
“Give her to me, Layla, and go see Alpha Alexander. “Daphne pushes her arms forward, asking for my Baby.
“How do I leave her alone? They are so close to her, Daphne.” My breath hitches in my throat.
“As long as I am with her, no one will touch her, Layla. I will rip apart anyone who tries to get to her.” She bends down and takes Ayla away.
Reluctantly, I let her go and get up from the chair. My whole body trembles with fury and hurt.
How could they do this to her?
