This was what we needed.
Something about Alexander being near and gently touching me as if I was fragile and buried inside me grounded me.
My favorite part was when his hands wandered.
His nails raked softly over my skin, barely leaving a mark. His fingers dipped to my inner thighs before his hands came to rest at the joint between my legs and hips, and his fingers squeezed. His large hands moved over my breasts and stomach, running over my skin as if it was made from the softest velvet. His caresses were tender, unhurried, and appreciative, and I could feel myself swelling up with a strange emotion.
My lips never left his skin as he slowly thrust up, nipping, kissing, and sucking on his shoulders and neck. I whispered sweet encouragement, saccharine words letting him know how adored he was, how incredible I thought he was. He’d often hum along to whatever I said without interfering. I knew Alexander needed to work this out himself. It was just going to take him a little time.
Sometimes, I would lean forward to press my body against his chest, embracing him tightly to remind him that I was there.
I lounged against him with my eyes closed tight with a hand curled into the hair at the back of his neck as I allowed myself to give over to the pleasure of having him this way.
Alexander fucked me in slow but deep thrusts, hard but loving at his pace. One hand held me in place as the other wandered over my skin again. He tugged and squeezed my nipples a little before dragging his nails and stomach and slipping his hand down to play with my clitoris, whispering the sweetest filth.
I turned my head and connected our lips in a messy kiss. I was so close, so fast, and when Alexander's hand released its grip on me to wrap around the base of my throat instead, I reached my climax, squirting all over his cock. I whined high in my throat and kept my mouth pressed to his as my body shuddered through my climax.
And then I begged Alexander to reach his climax, asking to be filled. I needed him in every single way.
"Alexander, please." I whimpered. My legs were weak as I tried to keep myself up.
He didn't answer. Instead, he wrapped his arms around my waist to hold me in place again. His thrusts sped up, the sound of his skin slapping against mine seeming so loud in the silence of his bedroom. Alexander’s teeth found my ear, nibbling gently on the lobe between tender words.
"You're so wonderful," I told him over and over. "I care about you. Don't do this to yourself. I'll always be here when you need me."
I didn’t know if my words sent him over the edge, but it didn’t matter as he clutched tighter to his body and trembled with his climax, filling me as I had begged.
We stayed exactly as we were for a long time, with Alexander buried inside my spent body as he softened slowly. He kissed my face, nuzzling my cheeks, and nipped at my neck. His hands wandered down the curve of my sides and slid around my stomach to embrace me tightly before slowly lifting me off his soft cock to slip out.
He cleaned himself up first, swiping his cock with one of the towels we had used, and then wiped me down, too, moving to swipe in between my thighs before pulling me down on the bed, where we snuggled close to each other, basking in the soft afterglow.
We faced each other while lying down, spent from our activity. He leaned forward to kiss my forehead, and when he pulled back, the emotions swirling in his eyes were so intense it took my breath away.
“Thank you for being here for me even when I was cold and distant,” Alexander whispered as he closed his eyes. “I appreciate how much you tried to take care of me, trying to provide what I needed even if it required you to give me space. The persistent attitude that never lets me push you away is one of the things I love about you.”
What? I was shocked. I didn’t have time to ponder further on his words before he opened his eyes and looked at me directly. His gray eyes were swimming with life. There were so many emotions dancing in his gray orbs. There was care, affection, tenderness, adoration, and a feeling I didn’t want to name.
My breathing slightly picked up. I didn’t know why I was so anxious.
“I love you.”
I couldn’t reply. I opened and closed my eyes several times, looking for what to say. I was sure I looked like a fish desperate to be put back into the water.
I panicked when I saw his gray orbs slowly dulling at the lack of a response. I didn’t want him to feel dejected, but I couldn’t repeat those words. I didn’t know why I couldn’t. Wasn’t it too early? We had been getting along very well and I knew I had feelings for him. I’d never felt this way for anyone else before, and I knew my feelings ran deeper and deeper every time I was with him.
So, why? Why couldn’t I bring myself to repeat those words to him?
Alexander’s face fell. “It’s okay. You don’t have to say it back.”
He immediately stood up, and I could do nothing but watch in broken silence as he picked up a few articles of clothing from his wardrobe that he hadn’t packed before exiting his room.
My mind was in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, and there was nothing I could do or say as I watched his naked back disappear from my sight.
Chapter 26
Alexander
ReturningtoManhattanfilledme with so many emotions. Memories of my father slammed strain me with so much force that I stopped in my tracks, earning glances from Tony, Marcello, and Aryana. I waved their concern away and stepped into the building that once housed my father, and meters in arms had arrived this morning to drive Aryana and me back to Manhattan. The ride back had been tense and quiet. The atmosphere between Aryana and me was strained. Since I told her I loved her last night and she didn’t reply, we didn’t know how to act in each other's presence. Even though I said she didn’t need to say it back, it didn’t mean I hadn’t been hurt. I couldn’t understand why she couldn’t say it back.
