I set my glass down hard. “Not going? Is that what you said to me, Sheldon? Are these parts of the rules, the control you want to talk about? Tell me. Because for your 411, I am most definitely going!”
Chapter Thirteen
Sheldon
Just the thoughtof her anywhere near that maniac makes my chest tighten with anxiety, yet here she is still insisting that she’s going, fighting against the very dynamic I was hoping she would embrace. She needs more time to take it all in, more time to learn and to get to know me, trust me, and come out of the shell she’s built around her fragile heart.
I watch her contemplating, and her features soften after a short bit. “Sheldon, I have to go. Jan’s been like an aunt to me for years, and she’s all by herself. She has no one else but me and my mom. I am going back to New York.”
Alexis is all, “I am woman; hear me roar,” but there’s not a chance in hell I’m allowing it, at least without me or a team of security with her. “We need to talk about it, Lex. That psycho is still in the city.”
She stands and narrows those beautiful and stormy violet-blue eyes at me, and I expect a backlash of her sass, but that’s not what she’s bringing. Instead, she takes a moment to speak, and her voice lowers. “This isn’t going to be one of the things I ask your permission to do. I need to go.”
I stalk toward her until she’s backed against the wall, caged by my arms as I hold her captive with my gaze. “Oh, Alexis, it’s a little too late for that. This is one of those things that you most definitely need my permission to do, and the answer is no, not by yourself.”
I bend my head and lick along the seam of her lips, trailing to the sensitive shell of her ear, and feel her shiver of excitement. “You are mine, Lex. I protect what’s mine in all things. I thought I made that clear?”
Her nipples have hardened to pebbles pushing against my chest, and goosebumps dot her skin. She inhales deeply. She’s battling with her past experiences, which are now colliding with the desire coursing through her veins. I know damn well she likes it when I take charge and care for her. I can feel it.
She may be turned on, but her internal battle is far from done. “I’m going, and you’ll have to reconcile yourself to that fact, Sheldon. I’ve been on my own for a very long time. I’ve put myself through school. I’ve worked my way into a good financial position, and I didn’t need any help from you or any other man, understand? I did it, and I can take care of myself, and I?—”
My lips descend on her sassy little mouth, devouring her, leaving her breathless and quiet. I tilt her chin up and am rewarded with desire as strong as my own. “You need to cool down some before we talk,” I direct, sliding my hands down her body and cupping her ass cheeks through the thin material of her skirt and picking her up.
Alexis shivers in my arms, and my cock turns hard as stone.
“All that energy, so misdirected. I have just the thing to cool you off.” I have her in my arms caged against the wall, and she’s not trying to resist. Instead, her heels wrap tighter around my waist, squeezing me with those long gazelle-like legs. I kiss down her neck, nuzzling the sensitive skin over her pounding pulse with my lips. Just inhaling the scent of this woman makes my balls ache with more than a primal need. I suckle her skin, making my way down her creaminess to that sensitive curve between her shoulder and neck. Alexis purrs against me, causing my dick to strain hard against the zipper of my pants as I try to get closer to her heat.
I kiss deeper, sucking her sensitive skin. It will leave a mark—my mark—and it will be visible for everyone to see that Lexie belongs to me. She moans as I suck, carrying her slight frame to my bed and standing her at its edge.
I unbutton her blouse slowly, letting the light gauzy material slip to the floor. My finger traces over the fine lace intimates that cover her delicate skin before unclasping and letting it join the growing heap. I kiss down her taut belly, making quick work of removing her skirt, leaving her standing before me in nothing more than strappy sandals and silky white panties.
I make my way leisurely up her body, exploring every creamy inch of her delectable body with my tongue, nuzzling the inside of her thighs and inhaling her scent but intentionally avoiding what she so desperately wants. Her hands find their way into my hair, steadying herself as I lick around her softness, listening to the sounds she makes. I can barely contain my chuckle as her naughty hands push gently against the back of my head, urging me closer to where she needs the warmth of my touch.
I raise from my knees, pick her up, and lay her on the bed before crawling over and caging her with my body, while I loosen my tie with one hand and slide it from my neck. I run it through my fingers, watching her intently as I let it dangle, caressing the tips of her pert nipples with the end of the smooth, cool fabric. “Wrists.”
Alexis offers both to me without hesitation. I slowly wrap the smooth lengths of the silk around her, binding her hands together before placing them over her head and affixing them to the headboard. When I have her completely restrained, I bend down to kiss her.
Her violet eyes glaze over with a need reflective of my own.
“Don’t go anywhere,” I whisper.
I slip outside to the balcony, placing some ice from the wine bucket into a clean glass before returning to undress before her.
Her eyes watch closely. Her chest rises and falls at an even greater speed as each piece of clothing is removed. She follows my movements as I take a piece of the ice into my mouth and suckle it before bending to kiss her indecently on the lips.
She shivers, and that’s exactly what I want. Alexis shivering in my bed, full of anticipation, waiting for me to give her what she needs.
I remove the ice from the warmth of my mouth, making my way to her pointy tips.
I run a cold tongue over her nipples, and they both stiffen even further. I suckle one, then the other, warming my mouth on her chilled breasts and watching her eyes dilate as her breath begins to shallow from the sensation of cold.
“Sheldon.” My name leaves her lips on a soft moan as her desire flares.
I run the ice cube over one taut nipple while stroking her other with my fingernail. She arches into me as I alternate stroking her tips with my nails, cooling them with the ice, and then warming them with my tongue. “You beg so sweetly, Lex.”
She mewls as I show her just a bit of the pleasures cold and heat can bring.
Her eyes track me the entire time, watching as I switch ice cubes and straddle her body, trailing fresh ice from one nipple to the other. This time I leave them both cold, trailing the ice down the center of her body and stopping at her navel. I let the water pool for a moment before moving lower and allow it to caress her smooth mound. Finally, I trail it through her heated folds.
