My eyes catch hers, and I find myself lost in the sparkling green of her gaze for a moment. I may have started to be vulnerable to help Riley, but actually, this whole conversation has helped me to realize something.
My walls have been crumbling ever since I first met Riley.
I was determined not to let her close, and not just because she’s a journalist. Sure, that pretty much makes her my number one enemy, especially since she was hired to write a story about me—my worst nightmare.
Yet despite all of that, I’ve found myself feeling comfortable around this woman. I’ve easily talked to her about things I wouldn’t normally say out loud, even when I’m alone. I’ve fallen for her without even noticing it. Now, all I want to do is reach out and touch her, to stroke her soft skin andfeelher.
“I’m sorry I pulled you into my mess,” Riley says, interrupting my thoughts as her face falls. I guess I can only distract her for so long. “If I’d known you were coming, I wouldn’t have acted like such a crazy person.”
She rises to her feet, unfortunately pulling away from me, and starts pacing up and down the room. I wish I could make her feel as warm and fuzzy as I do right now. I want to block out the rest of the world for her for a few moments, so she can forget about it all for a second.
“I shouldn’t get so freaked out about it all, Alex. I don’t want to be paranoid. I just don’t know how to deal with being in the public eye. I’m much better being on the other side of the camera. It doesn’t suit me at all.” She shakes her head sadly. “You’re probably right. It’s unlikely that anything isactuallygoing to happen. I know people act differently online than they would in the real world. They’re keyboard warriors and nothing more. But still, it’s scary. I don’t want to have to change my life around because of these people who I don’t even know, but at the same time, I don’t want to be a sitting duck, just in case someonereally iscoming for me.”
“I won’t let that happen, Riley.” My hands curl up into fists by my side as the anger gets to me. How can anyone feel okay withthemselves knowing that they’re doingthisto a person? It sucks. “Trust me, I will protect you. Do you trust me?”
She smiles like she does trust me, but she doesn’t give me a response. It’s like she can’t find the words, but that’s okay. I’m going to prove to her that she’s right to trust me. I’m going to look after her and show her that everything will be alright.
Chapter 19—Riley
Do you trust me?
Hearing those words come from Alex leaves me a little speechless, and I don’t know why. In this moment, I feel like Idotrust him, but I just can’t find the words.
In the end, I don’t need to say a word. He strides across the room, and before I can even catch my breath, his lips are on mine, and we’re kissing like there’s no tomorrow, which allows all the horrors from the outside world to dissipate. How can I be so anxious when this man wants me? I jump up and wrap my legs tightly around him, ready to push it all away, at least for a few moments, as he walks me over to my dining table. He makes me squeal with delight as the coldness of the table connects with my burning skin, which makes Alex chuckle before he falls to his knees.
“Shit, Alex,” I cry out before realizing that he’s meant to be there. He wants to be on the floor, between my thighs, looking up at me like I’m the sexiest woman alive.
I grip the side of the table so tightly that my knuckles turn a funny shade of white while I toss my head back in desire. I can already feel his breath tickling my core through the lace of my panties. My head lolls to the side as the pleasure begins to swirl like a storm cloud.
His lips graze against my hyper-sensitive thighs, kissing up my legs to where I’m absolutely throbbing for him. Thank God I’m in a dress because any material in the way might kill me. I need Alex like I’ve never needed him before.
“Your scent is so sweet,” Alex murmurs as he drags his tongue lightly along the material of my underwear. “It’s the most intoxicating thing ever.”
All of a sudden, he pinches the material of my panties between his teeth, causing a strange cry of pleasure to rush out of me. The further he drags the material down, the more my heart pounds and the hotter the blood pulses around my body. I’m completely out of control.
The next time the kisses run up my leg, they move in a much faster pattern, needing to get to where I’m desperately exposed for him. I can’t stop shuddering; the shiver of delight is absolutely intense; I’m really bowled over by him.
“You are everything, Riley,” he murmurs as he slings my left leg over his shoulder, putting me in an even more vulnerable position. Not that I mind with him, especially tonight when I need to be consumed by the sensations more than ever before. Anything to switch my brain off completely. “I can’t wait to absolutely devour you.”
With that, his lips connect with my clit, setting a fire blazing through my whole body. The flames burn and sizzle while his tongue flickers all over me, setting every nerve ending alight. Fuck, it feels out of this world to have his mouth all over me like that; I can’t handle it…
“Oh, Alex!” Then he makes it even worse by plunging his tongue deep inside of me, massaging my cavern. “Fuck, that feels… feels so good…”
He practically has me speechless because the pleasure is so phenomenal. We haven’t even reached the peak of the mountain yet, and I’m already struggling to remain where I am. It’s a good job I’m gripping the table so tightly because the pressureof this could easily make me fall, and fall hard. The wild space dust exploding within me means I haven’t got long. My toes are curling, my spine stiffening; he controls far too much of me. All of me, really, and I love it. I try to call out his name, to let him know I’m speeding along to the station too quickly, but I can’t get anything out. My chest is too tight; I can hardly breathe…
Holy hell… oh my fucking God… I…
By the time I lose complete control of myself and drown in the abyss of pleasure, I’m grateful that he has a tight hold of me. I couldn’t physically fall even if I wanted to. He’s protecting me, keeping me safe, and allowing me to swim in heaven at the same time.
The pleasure is powerful and intense. The orgasm swallows me up whole and swirls me around in it, thrashing through me until I forget my own name.
“Fucking hell, Alex,” I murmur as I slide down onto his lap, clinging to him while the pleasure continues to fizzle in the pit of my stomach. “You have no idea what you do to me.”
The frantic kissing resumes as he lies me down on the floor, rubbing his hands all over me, touching me all over, feeling me everywhere. I wrap my legs around him, dragging him towards me, but unfortunately, the material of his trousers is still in the way. We need to correct that immediately. I can’t get everything I crave like this! I need him naked right now.
Eagerly, I fiddle with his zipper, pulling it open despite my trembling hands. Happily, I take him between my fingers, loving the familiar sensation of his rock-hard cock against my skin. I stroke him softly, all while angling him towards me because I need to have him now.
But Alex isn’t acting fast enough, so I take more of the power. I press my hand to his chest and flip him onto his back so I can straddle him and take him in deep. The sensation of Alex’s cock sliding into my wet heat is fucking phenomenal. The pleasure that was crashing through me a moment ago now doesn’t seem quite done with me.
