“Ladies.” I nodded, taking their cash for the entrance fee. They paid but made no attempt to continue into the bar, clearly coming just for me.
“It’s been too long, Axel,” Ashley said, giving me sex eyes. “You must know I’m here for you,” she whispered, only for me to hear. My eyes widened as I cringed at her admission. She must know how pathetic and desperate she looked.
“I’m at work,” I said dismissively.
“I’ll be here late.” She winked and finally entered the bar with Jacqueline at her side. I’d be gone before she got the chance to corner me again, that girl was seriously nuts.
“So bro, do you want to go to Ronnie’s for poker night this Monday?” Julian asked me.
“Nah, I can’t make it,” I told him.
“What gives? It’s been like a month,” he complained.
“I’ve been seeing a girl.” I shrugged. Julian slapped my arm grinning.
“No way, Axel Peters is settling down!” he chided. I shook my head, now disappointed. “Then why the fuck are you blowing us off for some fuck?” he said, pissed now.
“I like her,” I admitted, getting his harsh expression to soften.
“Hope she’s worth it, the guys are getting pissed,” he informed me. I didn’t care too much if they were pissed, she was worth it.
“She is,” I said. If only they knew how worth it she was to me.
I was leaving for three weeks to go back home to see my family for the holidays in a week and was nervous to leave Leah. She was going on her school break as well and I would have loved to spend the time off with her. I only had a week before I left. I wished I hadn’t booked the trip before we’d started seeing each other. But how could I have known that I’d find my mystery girl?
“One week,” I said, as I lazily stroked her arm as we lay naked, tangled in her sheets after some hot sex.
“I know,” She frowned. “However will I pass the time?” she joked, softly poking me in the chest.
“You could come with me,” I said out of nowhere, surprising her and myself. I’d thought about it a few times but never had intended to ask, she sat upright her eyes wide and skittish. I knew I shouldn’t have said anything.
“Axel, I can’t go see your family for Christmas.” She laughed, relaxing once more, thinking that I must have been joking.
“Why not?” I asked, a little more disappointed than I ought to be. Now that it was out there, I really wanted her to come.
“Because my family is here and I have to see them, besides how would you even introduce me?” she asked, quirking her eyebrow up. I hesitated, the answer on the tip of my tongue but afraid to let it slip out. “Let’s just enjoy the time we have together instead,” she said suddenly, changing the topic. I nodded, feeling defeated.
AXEL HAD FINALLY CONVINCED ME to go to his place and sleep over. I had been avoiding it for weeks but since he was leaving in a few days and had lots to do to get ready still, I thought it was only fair. He had gone as far as promising to pick me up and drive me to class the next morning to convince me to come over, not that he needed to.
I walked into his apartment and gasped at how nice and big it was. There was a huge living room, with a big flat screen TV and large dark leather couch and massive solid wood coffee table. It all screamed masculinity but it was sexy, just like him. There was a huge balcony off the living room but what really won me over, was his gorgeous kitchen with all stainless steel appliances and an island with granite countertops.
“Wow, this is incredible,” I told him in awe. He just smirked at me. “Why have we been staying at my shoe box, if your place is so nice?” I asked, still in shock at how nice his place was. I really hadn’t been expecting it. He looked at me, his eyes softening.
“Because of you,” he said, taking my breath away once again. “And the fact that I’ve been pulling teeth just to get you over here.” He smirked, getting us to both laugh knowingly, I could be so hard-headed sometimes, it was a wonder he put up with me.
“Well, I think we’ll be staying here more often.” I laughed, earning myself an even brighter smile. It was those smiles that made my heart stop. I loved when I was the one who was getting those smiles from him.
“Good.” He smiled brightly, moving closer to me. Axel wrapped his big warm hands, around my waist and lifted me effortlessly. I loved how small and safe he made me feel.
He pushed me so my back was against the wall and devoured my mouth hungrily with his. I kissed him back just as passionately and ran my fingers through his soft, short hair. He pinned me to the wall and lifted my shirt off, cupping my breast through my bra. I could feel his thick erection through his jeans. I moaned deeply as he playfully bit my neck and then kissed it thoroughly. He carried me over to the island and placed me on top of the counter, unclasping my bra while kissing me simultaneously. Axel took his time kissing me and making love to my mouth with his, before he pulled down my pants and spread my legs. He plunged into me right there in the middle of his kitchen, pounding me hard like he’d never done before. It was my first time having sex in a kitchen, much less on an island and it was an incredible turn-on.
“God, you feel so amazing Leah!” he growled out, as he deeply penetrated me. “So, fucking tight and wet!” he said through clenched teeth.
