Sienna’s no longer an issue for Alex. At least, that’s what he says.
“Please, Ariel.” His gorgeous eyes are troubled. “God, you make me feel so...so...” He rakes his fingers through his hair.
“I make you feel what?”
“Safe,” he whispers, his voice barely audible. His hazel eyes bore into mine, stripped bare of any pretense. “You make me feel safe, Ariel.”
His words pull at me, and I can’t help but step closer to him. His warm breath grazes my cheek, and again, I notice his eyes. The melancholy flickering in them. He’s vulnerable in this moment, raw and exposed. It’s a side of him I haven’t seen.
“Alex...” I reach up to softly caress his stubbled cheek. “I promise you, with me, you’re safe.”
His lips curve into a small smile before he leans down to capture my lips with his. It’s a soft, gentle kiss that speaks more volumes than any words can.
He pulls back and rests his forehead against mine, his fingers interlacing with mine as we stand in the hallway. I can hear the murmurs of people below, but it’s like we’re cocooned in our own world where no one else exists.
His touch is electric, his strong fingers tracing patterns on my hands. His breathing is slow and measured, a stark contrast to the chaos that seems to be brewing inside him.
“Let’s go inside.” Alex unlocks his door and pulls me inside his suite.
As soon as the door is closed—
He grabs me and crushes our lips together.
Gone is his softness, his gentleness.
This isn’t gentle. This isn’t Alex.
But I like it. I like it a lot.
His taste is intoxicating, the heat between us growing with each passing second. His touch is rough but not forced. He presses me against the door, his body hard against mine.
One part of his body is extremely hard...and insistent.
“Alex...” I gasp out when we finally break for air.
His eyes are wild, his chest heaving.
“I want you, Ariel,” he breathes out huskily. “I want you. I crave you. I need you more than anything.”
Those words ignite something within me. Again, I remind myself that this is Alex. Alex, who has shown me kindness and patience.
But now?
He’s different. He’s like a wild animal, and he wants me.
“You can back out,” he says. “Leave now, and nothing will change between us. But if you stay, Ariel, I’m going to fuck you. It won’t be pretty. It won’t be gentle. It won’t be what you deserve. It will be only what I need.”
I gulp.
“Alex…” My voice is barely a whisper, the air caught in my throat as I search his intense gaze. “I’m not going anywhere.”
His reaction is instant, a fierce kiss that leaves me panting and dizzy, his hands gripping my waist. I tangle my fingers in his hair, pulling him closer as he kisses me with an intensity that’s both terrifying and enthralling.
And then he’s lifting me, my legs wrapping around his waist as he carries me into the bedroom and toward the bed. He drops me gently onto the silk comforter and hovers over me, his eyes holding mine captive as he starts to undress.
It doesn’t take long.
He stands naked. Gorgeous and naked.
I last saw him like this in this very room...with June. That horrid threesome...
But I wipe that thought from my mind.
I’m here now. Alone with Alex this time.
His chest is strong and firm, and it gleams in the sunlight streaming in from the windows.
And his dick.
God, his dick.
I remember it. Huge and gorgeous, and my God...
He undresses me quickly, raw urgency in his movements. He pulls me against him and kisses and bites my neck as he moves down to my breasts.
“You’re fucking beautiful.” He pulls a nipple between his teeth.
I gasp at the pleasure-pain.
This is so not like Alex.
But my God...
I’m loving every minute of it so far.
His hands are everywhere at once, tracing paths of fire across my skin that leave me shuddering and breathless.
“Yes,” I whisper and cling to him, digging into his back as I arch against him.
He groans, a low animalistic sound that vibrates against my skin. Jolts of electricity shoot through me and pool in the pit of my stomach, making me squirm.
Alex’s movements become even more frantic. His kisses grow feverish, his touches harsher. He moves down my body, pressing open-mouthed kisses on every inch of my skin. My breath hitches when his mouth reaches the soft flesh between my thighs.
“Alex,” I gasp out, the sensation almost overwhelming.
He looks up at me with those intense hazel eyes, his pupils blown wide with desire. “I could eat this pussy, Ariel,” he says. “I could eat it raw and have you squirming, but I need to be inside you. I need to fuck you. I need release.”
He moves away for a moment and then returns with a condom covering his gorgeous cock.
