Chapter 54

Pushing his Buttons

ROYCE.

I don’t miss the frown on Alejandro’s face

when he hugged Skyla or the way his frown deepened when his eyes flick to me. He can probably smell me all over her…

I can’t blame him for being protective, but he doesn’t need to fear me hurting her… 2

I know I need to talk to him, I’m ready to resign from my spot at the academy, but at the same time do I want her in that school where Aleric will still play his games? I plan to tell her about him. I have to. 2

She looks beautiful, there’s not a speck of make-up on her face, and it makes her features glow radiantly. She has long thick lashes that surround those vivid green eyes. Her nose is slender and her plump pouting lips that are often in smirk are a gorgeous. soft pink…

I glance at the door as Skyla greets her uncle, Marcel Rossi. He’s a few years older than Alejandro and I heard recently he has found his second chance mate. Rumour has it she’s far younger than him. 3

He has his hair up in a man bun, wearing tan pants, and a white shirt with his sleeves pushed up. He steps aside, holding the door open for a slim woman. She’s wearing a knee-length dress.

Her golden blond hair is styled in an updo, but what strikes me the most is I’m sure I’ve never seen her before, but she seems familiar, as if I’ve seen her somewhere. 14

“Hi, Winona.” Skyla says with a sexy smirk, “Damn girl, you look fine.”

I cock my brow. Does this doll need to flirt with everyone? 3

I glance back at Winona, who blushes in response, as the couple walk over to the bed.

“Glad to see you’re doing fine. You gave us all a fright.” Marcel says hugging his niece.

The Rossis have a distinct look to them. You could probably enter a room and know which one is a Rossi, but then again it’s the same with us Ardens. 3

Charlotte takes a sip of her hot chocolate, still holding the other one as she observes them all.

“I’m perfectly fine. So what are you two doing here?” Sky replies, sounding pretty normal, but I know she’s still not one hundred percent.

“Alejandro called to fill us in and we were in town on a date. We heard you were hurt, and so we wanted to come to see you. I hope we are not imposing.” Marcel says as Kiara meets Winona with a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

“Not at all.” Kiara says with a smile.

“Dang, Dad, did you need to ruin their date? Uncle’s going to have blue-balls for the rest of the night. Ah, poor uncle, even I’d have blue balls if I had balls,” Skyla says, winking at Winona, who blushes, and I look away trying to hide my smile. 2

This girl.

I know her uncle thinks she’s teasing, and she probably is, but there’s definitely truth in her words. She finds the woman hot.

Does she have a thing for blondes? 3

Marcel chuckles as Kiara shakes her head, smiling.

Marcel now turns to me, and Alejandro steps forward. “Marcel, Royce Arden, the younger of Kenneth’s twins.” He says.
