“Alex,” I whispered, kissing down his neck, “I stopped taking the pill three days ago.”
“Fuck! You’re ready for me to put a baby in this?” He caressed my stomach softly. I groaned, arching toward him as an answer. “Hold on, baby! This is going to be hard!” With one deep thrust, Alex was inside me, fucking me like I was the air he breathed.
When he came inside me, both of us stilled, gazing at each other.
“Fuck,” he breathed against my mouth. “I need to go away more often. What else have I missed?” Did I tell him about David now? We had just fucked, so Alex should be in a better mood. “Straight Lace, I don’t trust that face! What happened?”
“David came to the office yesterday.” My voice was a whisper. My legs were still wrapped around Alex’s waist, holding him against me, so I felt when Alex’s body tensed at hearing David’s name.
“What? That fucker shouldn’t be anywhere near you!” He pulled out of me, and I slid down his body. Finding my panties and shorts, I put them back on while Alex continued to rant. “Did Ben send him packing? Whatever he had to say, we’re not fucking interested! I can’t believe the fucking nerve of him!”
“I had a meeting with him.”
“You did what?” Oh, shit! Alex wasn’t happy. “Nat, you know how I feel about that fucker! I don’t want him anywhere near you!” Running his hands through his hair, he paced around the pool house. “What did he have to say for himself?”
“He knows about the album you’re planning with Cody and Mason. Rock Records wants to make a deal with you if you cut Matt in on the project.”
Alex laughed out loud, shaking his head. “Oh, of course they do, the money-grabbing motherfuckers!”
“I told him I already knew what your answer would be, but I’ll let you deal with him this time.” Alex’s face softened as he gazed at me. “David didn’t try anything if that’s what you’re worried about. I can handle myself, you know.”
“I am fully aware of that. It’s one of the reasons I married you. We’re a team, Straight Lace. I don’t like the thought of you fighting our battles alone, that’s all.” Pulling me back into his embrace, he ran his fingers through my hair. “If that fucker turns up again when I’m not here, you get him to make an appointment with both of us, okay? He’s a slippery fucker. We need to be careful. Let’s not forget that he’s still in love with you!” Alex was right. If David and Matt were plotting again, we had to be extra vigilant. With a dark look in his eyes, Alex took my hand in his. He started leading me into the mansion, and I knew exactly where he was taking me. There was only one thing that could clear his mind when he was stressed. Now that we were officially trying for a baby, that would only heighten our experience!
???
No one tells you that conceiving a baby is all about timing. After a few months with negative pregnancy tests, I was a little disheartened. Alex assured me that it would happen, we simply had to be patient. Being a woman, it was difficult not to worry that I was doing something wrong. I'd started to take all the pre-pregnancy vitamins, was doing more exercise, and drinking plenty of water. I was only thirty-three, surely I would catch soon?
“How about a trip to New York at the weekend? Diego has been badgering us about visiting him for weeks now,” Alex suggested, running his hands down my bare back. “It will take your mind off everything.” A trip to see Diego sounded perfect. “We could get a nice penthouse with views of Central Park, and I could fuck you with a view.” Somehow, he always made everything sound perfect. “We’ve been flat out with new signings, press releases, and spotlight shows. We deserve a little fun.”
“The Midnight Outcasts really have something special, don’t they?” The band had blown me away in the last few months with their dedication. Cole, the lead singer, had something that I hadn’t seen…well, since Alex.
“Have you got a crush on the new rock band, Straight Lace?” Alex's voice was saturated with desire. “You’re making me jealous. You’re my groupie!” I giggled against him as his lips brushed my breast before he moved between my legs.
“Cole reminds me of a younger you. His stage presence is almost as good as yours.”
“Yeah, if he’s steered in the right direction, Cole could go far. He’s already pretty deep into the drugs and alcohol lifestyle, though. I’ve spoken to him about it, but I’m not sure he gets it.”
“With your guidance, The Midnight Outcasts can achieve anything.”
“Your faith in me takes my breath away, did you know that?” I planned to spend every day of the rest of my life lifting him up and making him realise how amazing he was. I loved him that much!
Diego and Remi were already waiting for us as we arrived at the restaurant in New York. “About fucking time! Where have you been? You’re almost an hour late!” I was blushing. We had gotten a little carried away in the hotel penthouse. Diego looked toward Alex, who had a dirty smile on his face. “I swear you’re more sex crazed now than in the band days! Keep it in your fucking pants for a few hours please, Alex! I haven’t seen you properly for months!”
“You’re the one who moved so far away,” Alex countered, turning his gaze to Remi. “It’s lovely to see you again, Remi. How do you put up with this fucker?”
“I have no choice, really. My Dotty is in love with Ralph,” Remi teased, resting his head on Diego’s shoulder. Remi was a lot shorter than Diego, and had cheek bones to die for! He was perhaps a little manlier, but that might have been because of his buzz cut. He always had the most beautifully tanned skin, too. He sparkled! The fact these two met because their Dalmatians fell in love was perhaps the cutest story I’d ever heard. Remi was an amazing up-and-coming fashion designer. It wouldn’t surprise me if Diego worked with him on some designs. Diego had the talent!
The four of us laughed our way through dinner. Someone had tipped off the paparazzi, though, and as we walked out of the restaurant, flashes came from every direction. Luckily, Shane got us into the car quickly.
“That was insane!” Remi gasped, taking a seat next to Diego. I’d forgotten how crazy it had felt at first to be chased by the press. I’d become accustomed to it these days, being Alex’s wife. “Is this what it’s always like?
“Oh, baby. That was nothing. You should see them when these two are at a premier or event. The press go crazy! Shane had to stop them coming over the wall once in LA! Do you remember that?” Diego looked between Alex and me. “Alex hadn’t long proposed, and everyone was trying to get that shot of you two together!” I had completely forgotten about that.
Shane dropped Diego and Remi off at their place first. Diego and I were going to have a lunch date tomorrow while Alex went to catch up with Milly. Her talk show was a global sensation now, and he was thinking of doing an exclusive on it with The Midnight Outcasts.
My body ached as we stood in the lift heading back up to the penthouse. “You look tired,” Alex mused, rubbing my shoulders. “I think it’s an early night for you.” It didn’t matter what he said, I had plans before we went to sleep tonight. “Don’t give me that face. I’m only looking out for you, Straight Lace. We’ve been non-stop these last few months. This weekend is meant to be relaxing!”
When we stepped out of the elevator, I ran my hands down his chest and gave him a playful smirk. “I can think of something that would help me sleep.”
