Prologue
It was almost six o’clock and Alex would be arriving any minute. Braylee was in their bedroom putting the final touches together for her private welcome home party.
The candles were lit around the room, the wine was chilling, and the music was playing softly in the background.
Fresh out of a bath, Braylee smiled at her reflection as she stood naked in front of the mirror. She reached over and picked up her red babydoll slip and thigh high stockings from off the bed and wondered how long it would take Alex to take them off. Anticipation made Braylee want to rush, but she was forced to take her time as she put the thigh highs on one leg at a time just to make sure she didn’t ruin them. Once that task was complete, she shimmied into her slip that barely covered her behind. Perfect. Now, the only thing missing was Alex.
Would he want dinner before or after they made love? She couldn’t help hoping for after her special plans. Braylee didn’t mean to behave like a dog in heat, but it was his fault that she craved him. She’d become so accustomed to making love almost every night that him being gone for seven long days took its toll.
Fabi and Cecily were going to be out at least until ten o’clock, so they only had a precious few hours, and she planned to put them to good use.
That reminded her to thank Fabi for being so thoughtful. He was a lot like his brother, Alex in many ways. He was a genuinely good guy and was working hard to make amends for the loss of lives from all of those accidents. He’d also been seeing a therapist to help him deal with the guilt.
What was that noise? Was it Alex? Braylee stood still as she listened intently. Then, the sound of the garage door closing became clear. She whispered to herself excitedly. “Yes…it’s him.”
Quickly Braylee ran out of the bedroom and into the hallway. She started walking down the winding staircase then stopped midway before an idea hit her. Braylee sat down on the steps in what she hoped was a provocative and alluring position. She leaned back on her elbows with her legs slightly parted. Alex would have an unobstructed view of what he’d been missing for the past week.
The house was in semi-darkness with only a small amount of light by the stairs. Sitting underneath it, the illumination would act almost like a spotlight focused directly on her. He would see her as soon as he turned the corner from the kitchen.
She heard him call out, “Braylee…Cecily…Fabi….is anybody home?” She held her breath as she waited. She was so anxious her heart was pounding.
After what felt like forever, but was only a matter of seconds, he appeared. His words were caught in his throat the moment he saw her.
Her voice thick, she said, “Hey handsome.” Braylee let her knees fall apart just a bit.
Alex was mesmerized. His mouth felt like cotton. It would have been impossible to pull his eyes away from the sight in front of him. He dropped his suitcase and jacket on the floor as he stood at the bottom of the stairs, greedily taking in every inch of her. Huskily, he spoke, “Maybe I should go out of town more often.” His lazy smile appeared as his eyes locked on hers.
Braylee purred, “Hmmm…seven days is a long time.”
He agreed. “Almost an eternity.” Alex took the stairs two at a time as he undid his tie. Once he reached her, Braylee opened her legs just a little more so that he could stand in-between them. He kneeled down and captured her mouth in a hungry kiss. Braylee wrapped her arms around his neck and eagerly kissed him back.
The flight from China had been long, and she didn’t want to be too selfish.
