Placing the drink down, she had stretched languorously in the chair, her arm moving over her head, eyes regarding him half closed, as almost unconsciously her other hand had sensually moved between her . Alexis had felt the rush of warmth fill him, seeing the temptress that he had unleashed, his whole being needing her
“I feel a little…………..tired” she had purred seductively as his eyes had slowly travelled down her body, his smile knowing as his hand had moved to pull the small shoe from her perfect foot, his hand travelling up her leg, under the silky skirt she wore, moving between her thighs, feeling as she had writhed below him, their eyes locked.
“Well……….perhaps you should lie down” he had returned, his hand finding the small silky pants, pushing them aside as he had felt the gush of wetness his caressing fingers had produced, seeing as her eyes had closed, her lips parting wider as she had sighed softly, her moving against his hand. As she had kicked off the other shoe and her foot had slid over to gently caress the growing bulge in his trousers, causing it to throb almost painfully, her toes driving him wild.
Finally he had arisen, before once more pulling her into his arms and striding purposefully into the bedroom, Tessa laughing throatily.
“You Tessa Demitri are about to join a very exclusive club” he had laughed pushing open the door.
Chapter Eight
Returning back home Alexis had seen Tessa smile seeing the banner that Mrs Lowe had erected both at the front of the house and within the grand foyer. The whole area was covered in balloons and bunting which had seen them both laughing. She had squealed happily as before entering the house, he had swept her into his arms in old fashioned gallantry, carrying her over the threshold, much to the delight and amusement of the housekeeper who beamed happily at them both.
Finally placed back down onto her feet Tessa had been dragged into the kitchen for a much needed cup of tea by the excited Mrs Lowe for all the details of the wedding, as the smiling Alexis had picked up the mail, slowly sifting through the many letters.
As the two women were comfortably sat with Tessa laughing happily describing the golf cart Alexis had moved into the kitchen, a small frown on his face, stopping her in mid sentence as she had looked at him with concern.
“Everything OK?”
Drawing level with her he had slid an invitation to her. Picking it up she had read the contents in disbelief.
“Mr John Jones would request the pleasure of Mr and Mrs Alexis Demitri to celebrate the marriage between his granddaughter Tessa Jones with Alexis Demitri”
Looking quickly up at him, the shock so evident in her eyes she had been unable to speak, seeing almost a look of relief in his eyes.
“I take it you knew nothing about this” he had smiled gently as she had shaken her head.
“Absolutely nothing………..why would he do this?” she had questioned confusion in her eyes.
He had pulled out another sheet and looked down at the contents grimacing.
“Well it would seem that your grandfather has invited all of my friends and business colleagues” with a sigh he had folded it once more.
“I am sure he was trying to be nice” he had muttered, as Tessa had given a snort.
“Seriously Alexis…you have met my grandfather right?”
He had chuckled as the housekeeper had silently watched not sure what was going on.
“Do we have to go?” she had asked her look hopeful as he had dashed them with a small nod.
“Unfortunately Cara, these are not people we can just stand up………I am afraid that we will”
Groaning she had looked at him with defeat in her expression, sighing softly she had dropped her head into her arms.
“OK………..when is it?” as the two of them had laughed at her theatrics.
“Tomorrow night”
Hearing the even louder groan had sent the other two into hysterical laughter, Alexis patting her softly on the back sympathetically.
“Let’s not return the favour” he had chuckled as her head had nodded miserably.
It was not till later that evening as she lay snugly in his arms, both having just caught their breaths from their lovemaking that Tessa had asked the question that had been on her mind most of the night.
“Why do you think he did it? Why did he bother with the party?”
Alexis had frowned, his handsome face lined with concentration as absently he had lifted her hand, entwining their fingers together as he had examined their wedding bands.
“For my contacts”
He had finally answered, as she had looked questioningly at him.
“Your contacts?”
He had nodded slowly, his expression sombre before continuing.
“A lot of my colleagues will have nothing to do with your grandfather, many warned me about having any dealings with him, and I guess this is a way of showing our connection in the hope of creating some links”
He had given a small sigh.
“Problem is some might actually buy it”
Tessa had nodded.
“Please do not feel concerned for my sake of putting them right”
She had felt his smile against her head before he had chuckled.
“Well maybe I should wait; I think he is still trying to push that hot cousin of yours on me”
Tessa had given a small snort before laughing as he had turned her around, his mouth once more finding hers.
The next day had seen the couple leaving, the chauffer driven limousine , specially sent for them by John Jones. Alexis had looking as handsome as usual in his tux and Tessa stunning in the blue tail off-the-shoulder dress. Around her throat a choker of diamonds caught the light as Tessa tried hard not to play with them, still full of shock at the exquisite gift he had surprised her with as they were about to leave.
“Alexis” she had breathed in surprise.
“You…you shouldn’t have”
As he had smiled putting it around her throat, his fingers lightly touching her body, before bending and gently running his tongue along her neck and shoulder, causing the now all too familiar flames to burn hot within her.
“Who else would I get these for?”
He had whispered gently making a small shiver skate down her back.
“except for my beautiful wife”
Tessa feeling so happy and in love.
As they had moved into the foyer of the expensive hotel booked for their wedding celebration, John Jones himself had rushed forward to greet them. The warm fawning smile for Alexis and in turn her had sickened her to her stomach and Tessa had fought hard to keep a civil smile on her face. Leading them into the room he had pulled Marcie over positioning himself between the couple as he had asked Alexis if he remembered her. Tessa had worked hard to hold back the laugh which shone so brightly in her eyes as he had thrown her a “told you so” look as he had kissed the blonde’s hand gallantly, Marcie simpering flirtatiously at him before glowering over at Tessa, her eyes greedily taking in the diamond choker and bracelet which adorned her cousin.
After spending what he felt to be adequate time with the Jones’s Alexis had moved to gently guide Tessa away, thanking John for the impromptu party, and smiling as he had stated.
“Well better do our duty, Cara, and mingle”, both finally able to escape from the pair.
Meeting Alexis’s friends and colleagues had been fun, as they had been so warm and welcoming to her. Some had seemed wary, given her family connections, but her natural charm and intelligence had soon won over all who met her. There were also many she had previously met at functions they had attended prior to the wedding and one of the wives had dragged her over to meet other wives who had all insisted on details of the wedding, with Tessa happily complying. It was mid-story that she had noticed her grandfather once more pouncing on Alexis, not able to see his expression, but seeing how intently he talked to the man she loved. With a small smile she had felt sorry for Alexis before the pair was swallowed up by the crowd.
When she had finished talking, Tessa had excused herself, her eyes scanning the busy room for Alexis, jumping as her grandfather had appeared before her. Tessa had grit her teeth as the older man had smiled at her, the smile not reaching his cold eyes, his voice less than friendly as he had dropped any pretence of congeniality now that Alexis was no longer by her side.
“Well marriage seems to be agreeing with you Tessa” he had bitten out.
“So long as you keep him sweet I’m sure you will be of some use to him. But try not to give in to those natural urges of yours”
Tessa had given a sweet smile back at him determined not to rise to his baiting.
“I think you are confusing me with Marcia John, she is so like you, and as I recall not much to Alexis’ liking”
She had seen the flash of anger in his eyes before his smile had become more evil.
“So have you met his mistress yet?”
His words had crashed down on Tessa, not expecting this attack, as her composure had slipped a little before she could steady herself. He had taken her reaction in, a small chuckle leaving him. However, as she did not reply he had continued.
