What's up with this guy asking me about my strawberries, he could have asked for his. Stepping out of the Uber I'm amazed by the grand sight I'm witnessing. Seems like Colton is too, though he's is the creepy kind it's as if he's seeing something out of his world. I can't blame him though any architect will go ballistic over this building, it really lives upto its reputation of course nothing beats my strawberries, they're sweet and to die for.
"Hey wipe your mouth, there's nothing special about this hotel it's just a building." I tease Colton who just gives me the 'what the fuck! Just a building look' boys and their weird obsessions if it's not cars it's their mothers or whatever this is right now. I get it to some degree. Where did my strawberries go I mean there's only one remaining, I need a restock.
" Let's get going, they booked our reservation already we are just going to check in and ask if they could get the car and our luggage." Colton informs me before walking ahead of me towards the entrance of the hotel. Wow, this guy really gets of power. Must he really be in control all the time. Should I tell him my head hurts like hell,I mean he asked and I lied. He seemed really concerned but also worried at the same time. Trying to follow him, my vision becomes a little blurry. Ouch! I hit something smooth yet hard,what is happening, just when I'm about to lose my footing, big calloused hand hold onto my waist, I feel them through the thin shirt, hot shallow breathes hits my skin and a sweet musky scent attacks my nose. I try to hold on onto firm shoulders which go stiff on my touch.
"Ar...are..y-ou....okay?" Why is he stuttering,I don't feel good. I need to lie down.
"Colt I don't feel good, it hurts, my head hurts. I need to lie down." I feel him taking in a deep breath before he whisks me away in bridal style. I can feel his body through my shirt, it does nothing to limit my wild imagination, but my head hurts too much to enjoy anything. His smell is calming, snuggling into his chest to smell it to help with the headache,his body stiffens but he just continues walking.
I hear him shouting to someone I don't even know who,I hold onto him tightly as if my life depends on it, because it does. I hear him shouting something to me 'please stay with me' I can't tell because everything goes dark.

Arghhh! Why are bird chirping so loudly, why is my bed too soft, opening my eyes, I'm hit by morning sun rays, covering my eyes I notice that I'm not in my room and certainly not in my house. Where am I? Did I get kidnapped, who would want to kidnap me, well my kidnapper is at least rich. Ooh it's cold. Looking at my reflection on the mirror.
"Why am I naked? Where are my clothes?" Shouting at my reflection on the mirror. Just then the door swings open and Colton bolts in. He eyes me from head to toe and he's expression changes to something predatory.
"Turn around!" I shout at him.He then turns around.
" Did you take my innocence? Why am I naked, what did you do to me ?" Covering myself with the sheets which do little to hide my body.
"Calm down nothing of that sort happened I'm not a monster, I wouldn't do that without your consent." He replies
" That still doesn't answer my question? Why am I naked? Where are my clothes? Who even undressed me? Ouch! My head." Colton just turns around his expression unreadable, and scoops me up and lays me down on the bed. My heart is breaking my ribcage. I think I forgot how to breath, I can feel it again and so does he but he just ignores it like he's...used to it.
Well at least one of my questions is answered. He undressed me. This is so embarrassing, I can feel my body heating up, my ears are unusually feeling a little kinda hot. I quickly nuzzle on his chest to hide, which is a bad idea because a certain part of me enjoys it too much.
"He...he-y...easy there the doctor said not to overexert.....your...your-self...Fuck!! Can..you mo-ve..please." I can feel his hands wrapping around my body before he pushes himself off the bed.
"Sorry." Realizing my mistake I cover my whole body with the duvet. I feel ashamed right now. I know he saw it. Can the ground just open up already and swallow me. This is enough embarrassment for a lifetime.
"It's a natural reaction." He tries to laugh it off but I can feel the strain on his voice. He's like an Alpha trying to resist an Omega in heat. I need to break the awkwardness around us. I need to figure out how I ended up at this room with no clothes and why my brain won't stop drumming so much it hurts.
"What happened? How did we end up in this room, and why is my head throbbing so much?" I ask him to which the air around us shifts.
"You...ummm the doctor said you have a mild concussion, nothing serious it should go down in about two days," he lets out a breathe he's been holding in and then continues, " as for how you ended up naked on the bed well...umm thatwasmeicarriedyou."
"What?"
"That was me I carried you and also I was ordered to make sure you're comfortable." He deadpans. Since when does undressing me makes me comfortable? I don't voice that thought though.
He carried me, why can't I remember anything all I know is that after we alighted from the Uber...shit! I remember his hands around my waist.
" Thank you." I tell him but I can't help feel the sting in my eyes, if he wasn't there I wouldn't have...no I can't think negatively.
"Don't! Please don't." I'm trying but my eyes have a mind if their own. I can't fight it anymore, a tear runs down my cheeks, the water works are released. I'm engulfed in a tight warm embrace, personally I'm scared what if I never saw my jewel or my family again, I can't leave them. What if I got lost in the darkness again. I can't, I nuzzle deeper into his chest as he holds me tightly like I'm a precious thing. I promised myself I would never cry, that I would be strong but I can't. It's too much. I wrap my hands around his torso, I need my anchor.
"Hey, little baker, you're okay, don't cry it's not a good look in you, I need the sarcastic you." He rubs circles on my back which have a weird calming feel. It just makes me nuzzle more into his chest. I'm probably making his shirt wet with my tears and snot.
An hour later I'm seated in the dinning room in our little condo which is also part of the hotel. Rich people with their rich idea. A fucking condo, apparently this is the premium package. You get a whole house fully equipped with everything even the kitchen is stocked damn, the architect really pulled out the big guns on this hotel.
"How long was I passed out?" I ask Colton who has just been staring at me since my breakdown earlier. He hasn't touched the food Infront of us. It's gone cold, since it's a world-class hotel it won't taste bad right?
" Not that long, just the whole evening till morning." That's not long? What's his definition of long, I'm not even going to pretend I'm surprised because I am.
"So the whole night?" I rhetoric back. Being an adult sure sucks I'm tired and it's morning. Wait does that mean urghhh! Our works begin today. Sometimes I just want to be paid my salary and not do the actual work it's exhausting.
"You should eat something, you need your energy for the day he tell me when he digs in on his pancakes, that's a lot of syrup. There are no steam coming up from his mug, weird.
"I'm just gonna warm up my tea!" I inform him knowing clearly I'm going to explore the kitchen and find out what I can steal, hihihihi.
"Please don't do something I wouldn't do in there." I stop on my tracks and look back. Can he read my mind. As if I'm going to listen to him. This is a once in a lifetime visit , I need to take what I can, we had to book our reservation two years in advance, that's just how busy this place is. Everyone around the globe visit the hotel. Even movies are shot at this hotel.
" I won't I'm just warming my tea." It's a lie but he won't know that. I'm not missing this opportunity, even if I'm loaded for a lifetime at least a souvenir is needed how will anyone know I was once here.
