Page 42 of What Alex Wants…He Gets

Still feeling a little frozen in shock, I forced out another question. “What now then?” I still wasn’t comprehending what he wanted.

“I want you to submit your sexual pleasure to me. Just me. How far we’ll go is the journey I relish.”

“But—what about Jeremy? I thought you two were really close.”

“We are. But Jeremy can find his own woman. He’s not touching mine again.”

His possessive tone should have made me balk, but it didn’t. Instead his use of the word mine sent a shiver racing down my spine.

“Yours?” I asked, the question a little too breathless.

“Fuck yes. Mine. Should I spell out what that means?”

He didn’t have to because I could see it in his eyes. He was in total control.

“It’s not going to be easy. I have a lot to learn. Not to mention I get cranky.”

Alex laughed. “And stubborn too.” He pinched my thigh, grabbing my attention. “But we’ll work through it and I’ll spank you when I think you need it.”

I couldn’t help it, but I grew wetter every time he spoke to me in that deep voice I suspected came from a dark place. It made me all shivery. When his hand moved between my thighs, I groaned.

First he stroked me through the thin panties I wore but he quickly changed tactics and slipped his fingers underneath them. With the first touch of skin against clit my eyes slid closed and a low keening noise rumbled in my throat.

“You sure know how to sweet talk a girl,” I murmured. My doubts and denials crumbled in the face of the building release.

“I like watching you fall apart in my arms, Harper.” He pushed two thick fingers inside me.

I grabbed the handle in front of me, so lost in the myriad of sensations he worked me with. So out of touch with anything other than him playing my body like a musical instrument I nearly slipped to the ground when he shifted.

“I’m taking you home so I can properly give us both what we need tonight. Do you want to argue some more about that too?”

“No.” I gulped for a breath. I had complete faith that with him I’d be safe. He’d gone to great lengths to give me all the necessary safeguards from the very beginning. Alone in his home didn’t change anything. After I’d finally learned his name, I’d checked into him. Out of curiosity of course.

He lived a high-profile life in his wealthy circle. He’d also recently been hailed as a real estate genius and had the bank portfolio to prove it. The money mattered little to me other than the niggling in the back of my mind that I didn’t have the first clue how to be a girlfriend to a man of his stature. Or if I could even afford to.

There was a big difference between the affluence of my past and the gross wealth of Alex and his family.

And I needed to stay out of the spotlight…

“You’re thinking too hard again. Stop worrying. Not only does it make you screw up your face in the most unattractive way, it tells me that I need to work harder.” To that end he pushed on my shoulders until I dropped to my knees.

With my face at crotch level it was impossible to miss the hard-on he sported. My belly fluttered. He had an answer so far for every excuse I’d provided. In fact I believed that he’d keep calling me on them too. I liked that about him—a lot.

I had learned the hard way through lots of experience that I had to keep pushing myself no matter what life threw at me. Having a man at my side who wanted to push me out of my comfort zones for all the right reasons did not sound bad at all.

I reached for his belt with the intention of sucking his dick. My mouth watered from simply imagining his taste in my mouth again. He caught my hand, bringing it to his thigh and holding it there until the car came to a stop.

“Where are we?” We hadn’t gone very far.

“My building. Enough questions for now.” He brushed the hair from my eyes before he cupped my chin and forced my gaze to his.

He picked up the flower box holding the crop and pushed it in my hands. “I’m not even going to ask why you brought this with you tonight. I have a feeling the answer would piss me off.”

I bit my lip. What a fool I’d been.

“But I am glad to have it for tonight. We’ve yet to properly break it in.” I caught a hint of a smile before he turned serious again. “First, this.” He held up a black silk blindfold that looked eerily similar to the one I’d worn on Valentine’s Day.

I shook my head. I wanted to see him this time. Know for certain it was him.
