Alex's green eyes lit up excitedly as she informed him that she would allow him to stay in the study.  He liked the room.... at least while the fire was going anyway! The rest of the mansion was overwhelmingly large and empty.  Lillium seemed to be in a much better mood than she had been and it was good to see her smile. A surge of relief went through him as she assured him that what had happened at dinner had not been his fault... he of course knew that hadn't been... but he was happy that she didn't think it was his fault and he was glad Maven hadn't managed to turn her sister against him.  Alex's smiled faded as she began to apologize for actions earlier.... that took him by surprise and he wasn't exactly sure how to respond! The fact that it had been lustful, and not purely hunger or teasing shocked him!  He opened his mouth to speak, when suddenly she flung the crystal into the flames!  Alex jumped in dismay, startled by the sudden sound of glass shattering!<br/><br/>He turned looking up at her, everything that had been in his head to speak suddenly went blank!  His hands tightened around his coat, and he swallowed hard she began stalking across the couch on all fours moving like a large cat as she until she was gazing down into eyes inches away from his face.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold"> "But... if a part of you enjoyed it..." </span></span><br/><br/>Alex closed his eyes took in a deep breath trying stay calm and still as Lillium leaned in crowding him taking in his scent. "w-w-well, who am I to deny anything from her Majesty!" he stammered and quickly glanced away, regathering his composure. But then when he turned back, he gazed back in her eyes and voice regaining a firm confident edge as he spoke.<br/><br/>"First off, I didn't know you were actually lusting after  me, I just thought you just like playing with your food," he laughed nervously as his hand slowly reaching up to his shirt loosing his silk red tie, so that he could unfasten the first button  of his white dress shirt. "Secondly," Alex offered her a coy smile, "I would have come up with some false story of being engaged,"  he informed her, moving down to undo the second button at his collar, "Thirdly," he added moving to third button exposing more golden skin that glowed in the firelight, "I don't think I would not have bothered  telling you that I was single, the first and or for a second time," he informed her with a small sensual swaying of his masculine shoulders as he moved onto the fourth button fully exposing his masculine chest, "I don't remember begging to to stop, do you?" he asked as he leaned back  teasing her now with his chiseled abs.<br/><br/>"When Maven was trying bribe me with two million dollars to leave today,  she painted your Majesty like some vicious demoness that would ravage me with wild abandon! I have to admit, I was a little turned on. If you don't believe me, just ask her, how I responded, " Alex grinned, his fingers working downward, "But now I know she was lying, you are really sweet and considerate to be concerned about my feelings." he sighed, reaching the bottom of the shirt.  Alex's golden skin glowed in the fire light as he seductively pulled open his shirt and leaned back resting his arms on top of the backrest rest, leaving the red silk tie on his neck to just ad to the sexy pose.<br/><br/>"No your majesty, You might be Queen, but there are somethings even you can't do," he said with a wink,  "Sadly even you can't rape the willing," he purred. "Although it might be fun if you tried," he added. "I can only imagine after a few hundred years or so immortals such as yourself get really creative!" he breathed in low whisper.
