Page 104 of Alec’s Dream

Luckily, Alec found it sexy as hell when she was chockfull of attitude. Any other woman spoke to him like that, he wouldn’t find it cute and certainly not sexy.

“Next time I got something to say to my kids, you do not interrupt me, you don’t try to shut me up, and you do not lie to them.”

“Lie to them? I’ve never fuckin’ lied to either one of them.”

“We’ll sort that in the next couple of days, bud,” Macy repeated back what he’d told Caleb then crossed her arms over her chest. “That was a lie. We aren’t doing shit. I’m going to sort my house and find us somewhere to live. Now because you interrupted me and I didn’t get a chance to correct Rory’s assumptions, she went to bed thinking this is her new house.”

“Good!” he stated, losing the stranglehold on his temper.

“Are you crazy?” Macy growled, obviously losing her temper as well.

Alec surged to feet, tagged her hand, and pulled her through the kitchen and into the laundry room, closing the door behind them.

“What are you doing?” Macy snapped and stepped away.

“When we’re having words, and those words are about to get heated, we do that in private where the kids cannot hear.”

Macy rocked back on her heels, some of the anger sliding from her eyes, but she once again crossed her arms over her chest in a gesture that pissed him way the fuck off.

“You do not need to protect yourself from me.”

“What?”

“You got your arms wrapped around yourself tight, holding yourself together. We may disagree, shit may get heated. We both got tempers. But what it will never be is ugly. Now, unwrap yourself, because you never gotta do that with me. Now tell me what’s got you so worked up.”

“We’re not moving in.”

“Why not?”

At this juncture Alec was pretty damn pleased he was able to keep his voice calm.

“Because it’s too soon.”

“Bullshit. Known you nearly ten months.”

“You have not.”

“Yeah, Macy, I have. First time I saw you, I wanted to ask you out. But I knew I needed to get my shit straight and get Jocelyn settled so I needed to wait. Then I spent months watching you with my daughter, with your employees, with the other parents, and I liked what I saw. I liked it so much I was biding my time, waiting for the right time.”

“Really?”

“Yes, really. And I know you were interested in me, too.”

Wisely, Macy didn’t deny it, she knew she was shit at hiding her emotions, so she was smart enough to know she hadn’t hidden her interest in him.

“That doesn’t mean you know me.”

“Yeah, it does.”

“You—”

“Babe, I might not know your favorite color, what foods you hate, what kind of music you like, but I know the important shit. I know you’re a great mother, you’re good with Joss. You’re kind, sweet, cute, a good cook, you always do what you think is right even if it means you get shit on in the process. I know you’re stronger than you think, proven by the way you’ve handled the last week, especially the last two days. I know your kids adore you, your friends love you.

“You’re fucking gorgeous, you’ve got great legs, a fine ass, tits that make my mouth water, and a pussy that is so fucking sweet I’ll never get enough. I know your eyes go soft when your kids smile and you light up when Joss is in your arms. I know you’re into me, I know you’re falling in love, I know you’re scared as shit because of that. I know you catch fire when I kiss you, and you go wild when you’re taking my cock. What else you got, Macy, because I know all I need to know about you to know I want you and your kids in my house, and I want it right now, and I want it forever.”

“Alec,” Macy whispered, her eyes going soft and lazy.

The sound of her voice, the way her chin dipped so she was staring at him from under her long, dark lashes, the way her body had relaxed, was playing havoc with his libido. His cock started to thicken in a way that would be visible in under two seconds if he didn’t find a way to control it.
