“Oh, Alex,” I groan as I rock back and forth, taking more of his length inside me with every single thrust. “You feel so good. I can’t get enough of you.”

It seems like I’m not the only one. Not content with lying back and letting me do all the work, Alex flips up into a sitting position and wraps his arms tightly around me, enveloping me in his embrace while we fuck one another. Wildly, passionately. Loudly, too, because it seems like the both of us need to let out a lot of steam.

The next time I’m tipped over the edge, I’m not alone. Alex is right there with me, crying out and clinging to me in his most vulnerable moment. I love seeing him crumble like that, it’s so sexy. I know this is a side not many people get to see, which makes it more special.

There’s still a little tension hanging in the air as we do what we can to catch our breath, a memory of what’s going on outside and what might happen to us from here on out, but I’m grateful that for just for a second, I could forget about it all…

***

Ring, ring…

Shit, who’s that?

My blood runs ice cold, but much to my relief, it isn’t my cell phone shattering the magic of the atmosphere as me and Alexrelax watching a movie late into the night. Not that I want any reminder that the outside world is there.

“Oh, it’s mine.” Alex frowns, looking about as unimpressed as I feel. “It’s Benjamin; I better answer this just in case.”

Coldness continues to shroud me once he’s gone. I miss the heat of his body beside me, and I already ache to have him close to me once more. I really do feel safe with him here. He has this way of making me feel like nothing can get me.

My heart starts to pound violently as soon as he’s moved, but I try to swallow down the fear a little. I don’t want to act all crazy again. Thinking back to the moment I panicked is humiliating now. I’m surprised I didn’t scare Alex away.

“…oh no, you’re kidding,” Alex groans, making my heart sink lower. “Shit, Benji, that’s a nightmare.”

Oh God, what’s happened now? My spine stiffens with sheer terror. I start to spiral, imagining what the papers are saying about us now. If we’ve been caught out again…

“Yeah, don’t worry. I’ll be there in a moment. I’ll give you a hand.”

My stomach won’t stop flip-flopping, even when I press my hand to my belly to try and calm down. I hate the way it feels like this is only going to get uglier.

“Fucking hell,” Alex groans as soon as he hangs up the phone. “One of my teammates is intoxicated and causing trouble at Vibes. Fighting, I think, and causing the bouncers issues. Benjamin needs me to help him because I’m the only sober one since I haven’t been out.”

Oh God.

I don’t want Alex to go.

I’velovedhaving him here. It feels like we haven’t had nearly enough time together.

But what can I do? This isn’t anything to do with me.

“Okay, sure. Sounds like they need you.”

Alex leans down and presses his lips to mine, allowing my heart to soar a little, just for a moment longer. “I will come and see you soon again, I promise. I won’t leave it as long again. I swear to you.”

And this is why I’m not a hundred percent sure whether to fully put my faith in Alex. As much as I want to, he hasn’t always fulfilled his promises. He hasn’t always been here when he said he’s going to.

But I simply smile and nod because I’m scared that if I start saying all these things, everything will crumble and fall apart right when I need him the most.

It takes Alex a few moments to let go of my hands, and his eyes don’t leave me for even longer. He backs away until he finally has to turn around and walk off. But before I can get all caught up in the sadness that threatens to eat away at me, Alex calls out to me once more.

“Oh, Riley, we must have missed a knock at your door. There’s a parcel.”

I gather myself up just enough to walk to the door to grab the box from him. I can’t think of anything I’m expecting, but I hold the box and kiss Alex once more before he slips out of view.

I watch him until I can’t see him any longer. Then I step back inside with a new heaviness pressing down on me. The paranoiaisn’t quite as intense as it was before Alex came along, but I am a little swept up with the loneliness that comes with him being gone.

I like Alex.

I like him a lot.
