Chapter Fifty-Nine
Alicia's POV
I went back to my room feeling frustrated and confused. My body was still buzzing from being so close to him. From almost getting what I wanted before he pulled away.
Why had he sent me away? Why kiss me like that and then tell me to go to sleep like I was a child?
I changed into my nightgown and paced around the room. Tried to calm down. Tried to stop thinking about the way his lips had felt on mine. The way his hand had felt wrapped around my wrist. The way his fingers felt inside me.
My pussy clenched at the thought.
My phone buzzed. A text from Malachi.
"Go to sleep, little bird."
I stared at the message. Was he serious? After everything that just happened, he was checking on me?
I typed back quickly. "I was going to sleep already."
It was a lie. I was nowhere near sleep. But I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of knowing he'd gotten under my skin.
