Chapter 379 Testing The Fear

Anya was sucked into his smoldering gaze when Alvin went on his knees without moving his eyes from hers. Her heart raced in anticipation and curiosity.

She froze when his fingers grazed up at the back of her left knee and stretched her left leg towards him. Her mouth opened but there was no word on her tongue. She stared into his eyes while his face neared her leg.

She felt an electric shock course through her body when his lips pressed on her inner thighs at the hem of her dress, locking his gaze with her.

Her mouth went dry. She could feel her blood rushing in her nerves. Her lips widened when she saw his lips apart, moving an inch higher on her skin.

Her toes curled in anticipation and nervousness, and her hand instinctively reached the desk when his tender sucked the soft skin of her thighs.

Alvin's lips arced to a lopsided smirk feeling her body tense up and heard a soft gasp from Anya who was flushed head to toe. He could easily guess she was innocently expecting a kiss or some marks on her neck. He was more than excited to teach her how one could be intoxicated without alcohol.

Holding her breath, Anya could feel fire lighting in her lower abdomen. She was wordless, She didn't know what to say or how to react. She could bet she had fallen into his arms if she wasn't holding the desk.

She itched to take her eyes off when he placed her leg back on the floor and stood up looking nowhere else.

Alvin brushed her chin up to lift her head and asked in a low, husky voice, "What are you going to do now?"

Anya just knew the response to what he was expecting her to do, "Go and change." Her soft voice managed to reach his ears.

Satisfied, he nodded and motioned his hand towards the door for her to leave. He could already envision pinning her on his desk if she stayed any longer.

Anya went towards the door patting her cheeks but she paused when she came to her clear senses. Did Alvin tease her just now?

Wasn't teasing her for a kiss enough for him?

She grabbed the cushion from the couch and hurled it right on his face, "Dirty old man!" She didn't know what else to say as he was so experienced and she felt like a clueless rabbit in his cage.

'Old man!?' Alvin caught the cushion and grimly cued her to get close to him.

Anya covered her cheeks and dashed out on her heels, without daring to go near him.

Alvin crossed his arms seeing her leave without closing the door. Anya was careful and simple. She wouldn't choose such a dress during the peak of winter. If not for seducing him, he found no other reason.

Why was she seducing him?

He frowned when he discerned she was testing her own fear due to her eligibility test in the near future.

Her doctor had clearly told him not to rush anything just because she says she was ready. Instead of getting over the fear, they might worsen her condition.

Her fear started with him, he wasn't going to take any chance that could aggravate her condition and put her career in jeopardy.

Leaning on the desk, Alvin was lost in his thoughts for a few minutes. His gaze focused and his lips threatened to arc looking at Anya peeked inside before standing at the door.

Anya unhurriedly spun around showing her chunky gray sweater that covered her fingers and dusty pink short pinafore skirt. She had paired it with the flat winter boots making her look cozy and prettier with her unwavering winsome smile.

This is the real Anya Owen who melts him and makes him feel warm and homely.

He hadn't expected her to truly change her outfit. He wouldn't have minded although it was a bit tempting to watch her in the previous dress.

Seeing her captivating smile without being irritated at his demand, Alvin had to control his urge to grab her and shower her with kisses.

He failed to stop his lips from arcing up when she waved her hand and left. "Goofball." He mumbled and got back to do some work.

When Anya went to the underground floor to the entertainment room, Krystle was speechless looking at Anya, nonetheless, Zane had a wide grin seeing her wearing thick warm clothes and fleece home boots. The little man was no different from his father.

Excluding Anya and Zane, others boozed in the limit as Zane was there. There was music. They played games, ate delicious food, and laughed at jokes. Alvin was still nowhere in sight.

Krystle wanted to dance. Since they were very few, she urged Anya, "Get your husband."

Anya wouldn't have disturbed Alvin but she craved to learn more dance moves after dancing once with him. So she went to bring Alvin for some time.

….

Opening the study room door, Anya made a long complaining cry, "Alvin…" She abruptly stopped when she saw two men in the room with Alvin. She didn't mind Rob's presence. Her expression hardened when she identified another man in the room.

Alvin had caught her every change in expression when her eyes fell on Liam Matthews. He watched her ignore Liam and look at him, "Could you join us for some time?" Her voice was soft but didn't have emotions.

Alvin had just heard Liam admit that he had met Anya in the supermarket six years ago. He couldn't believe Anya didn't utter Liam's name even once.

He lifted his hand to cue her to step inside as he added, "Little Donut." He sounded grave and looked cold.

Anya wasn't sure what they were talking about. The six-years past, a few days past, or the future. She wouldn't be surprised if Liam was there for Gianna who was his mother.

She went inside while Alvin shifted from his throne-like chair to the couch, pulling her to sit with him.

Alvin took it slowly, watching her reactions, "Brother Liam returned to the country today." he sounded like the sly fox who was braiding the trap for her.

Anya didn't react waiting for him to come to the main topic. "Rob briefed him (Liam) on what his mother and father did all these years, against us."

Anya controlled herself from choking Alvin who was deliberately taking time. Alvin added, "Brother Liam has something new but old to tell us."

Anya looked at Alvin. She discerned that Liam was going to speak about their first encounter. She wasn't understanding the kind of relationship Alvin and Liam had.

Does Liam treat Alvin as a real brother?

Do they trust each other?

Then, why did Liam scare her away when Alvin was searching for her?
