“Soon baby,” is his only response as he continues his delicious torture.
He places open-mouthed kisses along my stomach as he inches toward the place I need him most. Reaching for my panties, Alek slides them down my legs, before tracing his finger along my sex, causing me to cry out with need.
“Ahh, please, I need you now.”
He hurriedly removes his boxer briefs and sheaths himself before settling back between my legs. He places himself at my entrance and then whispers against my lips, “I need you too, baby.”
Capturing my mouth in a heated kiss, he pushes inside me, slowly stretching me to accommodate his size. Once he’s fully seated inside me, he begins to move, creating a rhythm that my body automatically syncs to. His mouth breaks free from mine, “My God you feel like heaven wrapped around me.”
My legs tighten around him and my heels dig into his firm ass urging him on. “Yes, heaven,” I pant. “Don’t stop.”
“Couldn’t if I wanted to.”
His thrusts quicken and I meet each one, chasing the orgasm that is just beyond my reach. “So close.”
“Don’t hold back, Rose, give it to me.”
As if, his words flip a switch inside me, I fall over the edge of desire. Bright lights explode around me as Alek stills above me, his body pulsing inside me as he finds his own release. Alek rolls to his side, taking me with him. Wrapping his arms around me, he pulls me into his chest, and kisses the top of my head.
My head buried against his chest, I smile “That was incredible.”
He tilts my chin up to look in my eyes before placing a soft kiss on my lips, “Yes, it was.”
Gently breaking our connection, Alek walks to the bathroom to dispose of the condom, before returning to bed. I snuggle back into his side, tangling my legs with his as his fingers dance lightly over my skin. Exhaustion overtakes me and my eyes drift closed as he holds me close. Kissing my forehead, Alek whispers, “Sleep now my sweet Rose,” and I let sleep claim me.
Monday morning finds me standing in the workroom of the flower shop, working on the overnight orders.
The last few days with Alek replay through my mind as I work. It has been a long time since I woke up smiling wrapped in the arms of a man. I seem to do a lot of that whenever Alek is around.
The last few years of my marriage were full of anxiety. Between work and Todd's nights out, sex had become nonexistent. After years of being together, Todd and I had basically become roommates.
Since I had taken Friday off, Alek and I spent the day together. Waking up late, we made love again before venturing out into the world. After lunch, we went for a walk on the beach and then back to Alek’s hotel.
After an incredibly steamy shower to wash the sand from our bodies, Alek ordered us room service for dinner and we spent the rest of the night tangled in each other's arms.
The next morning, when breakfast arrived, my heart began to sink. The week spent with Alek was coming to an end and even though he said he wanted to pursue what we had, I was still a little skeptical that he actually would.
When Alek drove me home, he promised to call after his performance. After kissing me goodbye, he got in his car and headed to Charlotte.
True to his word, Alek called after his performance Saturday night. He also texted me on Sunday and called again after that evening performance. He’s been texting most of the morning and is calling again tonight after the charity show.
Interrupting my thoughts, Janet comes through the curtain into the workroom. “Hey Rose,” she stops taking in the arrangement I’m working on filled with pink hydrangea and white roses. “Oh what a beautiful arrangement.”
I smile, my focus still on the task before me, “Thank you. Did you need something?”
“Oh, yes! This just came for you.”
She hands me a padded envelope, and I take it cautiously. “I’m not expecting anything.”
“Well then you better open it and see who it’s from,” Janet suggests.
I tear into the brown padded envelope and pull out a piece of paper along with a cd. Unfolding the paper, I find a printed copy of Alek’s tour schedule with a message written in the corner.
So you’ll always know where I am when I’m not with you.
The note makes me smile, and then I notice the little heart that he drew next to his stop in Charleston. My finger traces it and my smile lingers in place as I pick up the cd. A sticky note is attached that reads, I think you’ll enjoy the bonus material most of all. Turning it over I see the bonus material includes the song I first heard Alek play.
“Well,” Janet says, reminding me that I’m not alone in the room. “By the looks of that smile, I no longer have to wonder who the package was from.”
“I don’t know what you mean,” I reply, still smiling as I take the cd out of the case and place it in the player.
“Sure you don’t,” she teases as she turns back to the doorway. “He’s one of the good ones Rose, hold on to him with both hands.”
She’s right, I know she is, Alek treated me with nothing but kindness and respect the whole time he was here. So did Todd in the early stages of our relationship. I know it’s unfair to compare the two of them, but I really don’t have any other choice. Todd nearly broke me with his accusations and jealousy. Truth be told, there was always something nagging at me about Todd. That little internal voice warning me that he was too good to
