Alexa came to work with me, but spent ninety percent of her time in the daycare. We didn’t go anywhere now without high security. I wasn’t chancing The Devil’s Queens getting a hold of Alexa.

Today I had not one, but two surprises for Alexa. With the high security at the moment I had to make sure the guards knew even the slightest change in any plans I made. Going to the security house, I opened it and met the head of security team, Darren, and the head of my aunt’s, Brand. Brett and Tony sat watching the monitors.

“Mason, is there a change of plans today? I’ll call back the men. I already had them on route to the location,” Darren stated.

I nodded. “Yes, only minor though. I decided to give Alexa a puppy, too. I know she’s going to love the trained adult German Shepherd, but I know she would be over the moon for a puppy.”

“Whipped.” It had been muttered under his breath but I heard it and knew just who’d said it.

“Tony.” The big man turned and I narrowed my gaze at him. “I’m not going to fire you. I promised Alexa I wouldn’t.” I looked him up and down and shook my head. “Do you know she stuck up for you, even though you’ve treated her rudely? Darren, could you call my mother? I’m sure she’ll find something for Tony.” Turning from Tony, I looked at Darren and Brand. “The same woman who trains the security dogs has one puppy because a couple had to pull out of the deal. I jumped at the chance. I’ve spoken to a vet and the woman and we got the okay to get the puppy a couple of days early.”

“That’s great, Mr. Silverman. Miss Jennings will be ecstatic.” Darren winked. “Good thing it isn’t much of a change in plans, just adding a puppy as well as a trained guard dog. We will be there longer, but the security we have in place won’t need changing.”

“Great. I thought I’d let you know. We’ll be ready to go in half an hour or so.”

I’d hoped what had happened with Tony was a one-off occurrence. After I’d spoken to the other guards who’d been with Alexa and I when we went shopping, and I’d learned what he had said I spoken to Darren and we gave him his official first warning. Now, this will be his second warning. I’m going to have to ask Darren to keep a closer eye on him. I’m hoping he is just having an off day. I’d never had a problem with him before, but then again, I’d never really been in a relationship with a woman.

Tony had been on my security team for two years and this was the first issue that I’d had with him. Alexa was my priority and I assured myself as I entered the house and made my way to her, that he wasn’t being fired, just moved.

When I made it back to our room, I found Alexa still asleep, but on my side hugging my pillow. Since waking up in hospital she’d only spent one night—the one when Tony had opened his big mouth—without me in the same room. Since sleeping in the same bed, Alexa had become attached to me and snuggled against my body.

Going to the bed, I sat on the edge, leaned down and kissed my way from her shoulder up her neck and connected my lips to hers, kissing her awake.

“Mmm, I want to wake up this way every day.”

“I can do that.” Her arms wrapped around my neck and she dragged me down to rest at her side.

“Do we have to get out of bed?”

“I have a surprise for you. If we stay in bed you won’t get it.”

I smiled when she bolted up and straddled my lap, beaming down at me. “You have a surprise? For me?” She bounced on my lap and I groaned as her arse hit my hard dick.

“Aahhh, Bear, you drive me crazy.” Holding her waist to stop her bouncing, I gritted my teeth as she ground her hips down and her cotton covered pussy brushed over my straining cock. I wished I didn’t have my shorts and boxers on. Her giggle drove me nuts as my whole body heated with pure need.

“I like that you want me. I want you to feel the same way I do for you.” Her cheeks and chest were as red as a tomato, her teeth nibbled on her bottom lip, and her eyes shined with her innocence.

“Alexa, I always want you.” I pulled her down and took her lips to mine. I got lost in her taste as I slipped my tongue in and tangled it with hers. My hands explored her body and my need for her rose as my pleasure built. I knew though, if we continued, we wouldn’t get to the dog and puppy surprise and I’d push Alexa to do something I didn’t think she was ready for yet. She’d sucked me off and explored my body, and I’d returned the favor by eating her out, but we hadn’t had sex. I craved that kind of intimacy with her, but I didn’t think she was ready, not with the nightmares she still had, although lately they were becoming less frequent. There was a constant fight with my body and head because I wanted to sink myself into her, but I knew now wasn’t the time. We needed more time together first. Tearing my mouth from hers on a groan, I rested my forehead against hers. “We need to stop or you’ll miss your surprise.”

“Oh. Okay.” She sighed long and loud. “Can I have a clue what my surprise is?” Staring at her, with her beaming smile and glowing skin, it was hard to think that two months ago she’d been hurt, in pain, dirty, and homeless.

Easing her off me, I stood and backed up. “All I’ll say is you’ll love my surprise. It’s something you want.”

She eased up and stretched, her breasts thrust out, and I gritted my teeth and took a step back so I wouldn’t go to her. “You’re so good to me.” She beamed at me and I backed up further.

“I’ll go down and get your breakfast ready. You okay to eat it in the car?” I turned and made my way out of the room, but I heard her reply.

“Yep. I’m eager for my surprise.”

HER SMILE SPREAD WIDE AS I parked at the breeder’s farm. I had stopped about five minutes before we got there and put a blindfold on her so she didn’t see the sign on the way in.

“Can I take the blindfold off now?”

“Wait, I’ll come around.” I got out of the car and went around and opened her door. Alexa had already undone her seat belt and was trying to take the blindfold off, but I’d done the knots too tight. Gently, I eased it off without undoing it.

Alexa blinked a couple of times, slipped out of the car and stretched as she gazed around. “A farm?” She raised her brow at me. “I would ask if you bought it, but this doesn’t look quite as extravagant as I would expect for a Silverman.”

Chuckling, I shook my head. “No, I didn’t buy this. Come on. We’re a little early, but security’s been here for a while.”
