Taken By The Demon Alpha
Chapter 49

Beth sat there with hands placed against her laps while Asher continued to shuffle through his clothes for something to wear. She couldn’t help but glance back at him. The urge to do so especially having him so close and bare on the chest was unbearable as she let her eyes wandered across his back and down to his well structured buttocks.

Beth could imagine herself spanking those bottom for real and having him growl in excitement but she was also aware it could only happen in her dreams. Asher was just not the one for her. He was only good to look at.

Asher on the other hand had caught her staring and chuckled. Elizabeth gulped, looking away as she tried to control the fast rhythm of her heart. She didn’t intend for him to caught her staring but somehow she got carried away.

Thankfully, Asher made no comment on it as she heard him ruffling through his closet, no doubt looking for some shirt and pant to put on.

“You can look now” Asher told her with a smile and she caught herself rolling her eyes at the Alpha.

How in the world did he know she was even checking him out. Now he is going to think she is drooling over him or something. She thought with her face crunched up as he came over to sit beside her on the sofa. His chest was still bare which just left her feeling distracted once again.

“Could you put on some cloth. please?’’ Elizabeth asked, unable to look at him.

“Why? Does it bother you to see me like this?’’

“No, I’m just… please just put on your shirt” She let out with a sigh.

Asher sighed, rising to his feet while Elizabeth watched as he made his way back to his closet. Soon, he was adorning a shirt that did little to nothing in hiding his abs. It just seemed like the shirt was his second skin,

“Happy now?”

“uhm mm” She said with a smile and Asher scoffed at her before returning to seat beside her.

“So what will you like to eat?’’ he asked.

“Oh, i don’t know but i think pasta with garlic sauce will do” Elizabeth said.

“pasta?” Asher had asked with raised brow and she answered with a nod, “Elizabeth, you do know that will take a whole lot of time to prepare and besides, The maids wouldn’t have already prepared it so pick something else” Asher stated and she g***n out.

“But that’s what i want to eat” She whined.

She was getting frustrated, that much Asher knew and he knew he had to give her whatever she wanted lest she becomes agitated. He clearly remembered what Eva said and he wasn’t about to defy any of her warnings.

“Alright fine. I’ll go see what i can do. Just stay here until I return”

Elizabeth watched with glee as he left. Feeling somewhat pleased within herself at the Alpha eagerness.

An hour later, Asher returned back to the room with a steaming hot plate of pasta in hand. As an afterthought, he added orange juice just in case she demanded for it when he least expected. To his surprise, he found Elizabeth fast asleep. Asher didn’t know whether to smile or get angry, as he stood staring at her.

He couldn’t believe that after spending an eternity in the kitchen, everything had to end up in her sleeping on him. Asher sighed, walking further into the room. He shut the door behind him gently. She didn’t even stir which just further told him that she was tired coupled with the pain she was feeling.

He placed the tray of food on a nearby table, standing with hands akimbo as he thought about what to do. He didn’t know whether to wake her up or simply wait until she woke up herself but when he remembered how hungry she was a few minutes ago, he decided to wake her up.

Asher shook her gently, waiting for her to wake up. Elizabeth stirred after a while, her eyes fluttering open to look back at him.

Asher smiled as he helped her into a sitting position. Elizabeth stared at him for some time before her eyes found the tray of food on the table. The sweet aroma had her taste buds dancing and she found herself wanting to eat everything on the plate.

“Food is ready?” She chirped happily as she rubbed more sleep away from her eyes.

“Yes, i managed to make something” Asher explained as he push the tray closer where she could reach it.

“you can cook?”

“Yes I can”

Beth arch a brow in belief prompting him to explain further. “My father is Italian if you must know. Now eat” He growled and she rolled her eyes at him.

Seems there is more to this man than she knew.

“What’s funny?’’ he questioned.

“Nothing” Elizabeth smiled, looking away.

“Come on, tell me. I know there’s something going on in your mind for that smile to be on your lips” He pushed further with eyes narrowing at her.

“I just never imagined you as someone who could cook” Elizabeth said.

“Well, I will have you know that I don’t just cook. I can sing too. I used to play in a group before this whole Alpha thing” Asher explained with a chuckle and Beth couldn’t help but stare intently at him.

“so you weren’t lying when you told me you were an artist?’’ Elizabeth asked with kneaded brow and watched him gave a careless shrug.

“Nope. I wasn’t”

She watched him shuffle around before looking back at her once again.

“You should go ahead and eat that before it get cold”

Elizabeth sighed, looking away from him and back at the plate of food seating before her but made no move to eat it.

“What’s wrong?” Asher asked.

“I don’t know. I just feel weak., i don’t think i can feed myself even” She said with a sad pout at his direction.

Asher was taken aback by this. He had no idea if she was pulling his legs or she was dead serious but one thing he knew was that Elizabeth sure had a good way of masking her feelings. He had noticed that in her for a few days now.

“one spoon at a time, Elizabeth. You can do it” Asher encouraged.

“You know what? I think I will just lay down for a bit”

Asher was quickly by her side before she could push the food away from her completely. “C’mon now, you need to eat, Elizabeth”

“Will you feed me? Because I can barely lift my hand right now”

Asher sighed, grabbing a hold of the spoon, “I will do it”

“won’t that be too much for you? I mean you don’t have to if you can’t. I can just eat it later” She said with a quiet voice, trying her possible best not to laugh out loud at the expression Asher has going on, on his face.

“It’s fine. Now open up” Asher said, offering her some of the pasta.

Beth could tell how hard he was trying not to succumb to the pressure she was putting him through yet she could only think it to be the very beginning. Left to Asher he could care less but the situation demands his absolute attention and care and there is no way he was getting out of it that easily.

“You’re so slow.’’ Elizabeth mumbled.

“Do you want to choke? I think it’s better to go this way than see you choke” he reasoned and continued to feed her in the pace he was going still while she grumbled even more.

“Its too slow, i don’t like it”

Asher placed the fork on the plate, staring at the woman that was slowly getting on his nerves. He didn’t understand why she could be so insensitive and frustrating when he was clearly trying his best to make her feel comfortable.

“Elizabeth, I’m sorry but I can not go faster. It’s better and safer this way” Asher said.

“You’re so annoying” She snapped at him.

At that moment, Ashe lost whatever grip he had on his anger as he stared at her with venom in his eyes but Elizabeth wasn’t backing down either. She stared right back at him.

“You’re so damn insensitive and annoying. How can i possibly go faster than I already am unless you want me to choke you” He growled at her with hands clenched into fist by his side.

“Just stop feeding me if you are going to complain so much” Elizabeth snapped, folding her hands across her chest with a pout.

All Asher wanted at that moment was to do exactly as she had demanded. Stop feeding her because what was the absolute point if she is going to frustrate the life out of him while doing but then again she needed to eat.

“I bet Alex would have fed me without even complaining” She murmured under her breath and Asher heard her just loud and clear as he snapped back in reply.

“So you think Alex to be better than me huh?”

“I didn’t say he is better than you. I just knew he would be more patient than you are”

Asher was quiet for a moment before a sigh escaped his mouth.

“Alright fine, I’m going to try and feed you again and even go as fast as you want. Is that okay?”

“Thank you” She said with a smile and despite how frustrated he was, Asher found himself smiling right back at her.
