James
I’m a goner.Now that I’ve had Alex, she’s all I want. I don’t want this to end here, so I just have to prove to her that this isn’t temporary. I have no idea how I’m going to do that, but I’ll think of something. I have to.
I slide my sweatpants on, not bothering to clean myself. I like the idea of her staying on me. “I’m going to make us some food,” I call over my shoulder as I make my way to the small kitchen, grabbing a pot to start boiling water.
“I can help,” Alex calls from the bed, but I shake my head.
“Absolutely not. You relax. Enjoy the fire. It’ll be done shortly.” I glance back to her painting sitting in the middle of the room and get struck again at how good it is. She isn’t done yet, but I can see where she’s going. She’s painted this place. A view of the cabin fromoutside, the trees surrounding it with snow everywhere. Large windows lit from within by the fireplace, the glow reflecting off the snow outside.
My dad would have loved it, just like he loved this place.
I pour the pasta into the boiling water and stir as I think.This is what our new chapter needs. The heart and emotion radiating from that simple painting of a cabin in the woods. It’s inviting. It brings back memories, for me at least, of my dad and how happy he was here. It feels like home looking at it, and if Alex can do that with a simple cabin, I can’t imagine what she could do with the companies we work with.
Once the power is back and my phone is charged, I need to send a photo to Ryder and Alester and see if I’m crazy, or if she’s the artist we need on our team. I’m usually not wrong with these types of decisions, but we are a partnership and I value their opinion in everything we do.
I glance at Alex and watch as she twirls her long brown hair around her fingers while sketching in her notebook. She hasn’t stopped painting or drawing since she got here, unless she’s eating or sleeping. It’s inspiring to watch her creativity unfold. My dad always said this place was magical, but now I can truly see it at work. I pull out some pre-marinated chicken breasts from the fridge and throw them in a pan to cook. This makeshift chicken parm will have to do for an early dinner.
I open the vent for the external exhaust, so the fumeshave somewhere to go then I pull out fixings to throw together a small salad. When the chicken and pasta are done, I dish it onto two plates and sprinkle a healthy amount of parmesan cheese over it before setting it next to the salads.
Alex is lying on her stomach scratching away at her sketchbook when I crawl across the bed and start kissing up her back towards her shoulder. She shifts to look at me, so I place a final kiss on her lips. “Dinner is ready.”
“Mmmm.” She hums and rolls over, lacing her arms around my neck and pulling me back to her mouth. “I think I’d rather have dessert first.”
Fuck.She crashes her lips to mine, and I can’t bring myself to deny anything she wants from me. I roll to my back, pulling her on top of me, so she can show me exactly how she likes it. We’re slow to explore each other. I slide my hands up her stomach, lightly brushing my thumbs under her breasts. She shivers then starts leaving a trail of kisses down my jaw then my neck, and down my chest towards my sweat pants.
“Alex.” I warn her, but she ignores me and continues her pursuit. She slides my pants down, allowing me to spring free. I’m already hard for her again. I can’t help it when she looks this edible. I watch her lick her lips as she stares at me, and that alone is almost my demise. I groan, wanting to give myself a chance by not watching, but knowing I’d be pissed if I missed a second of learning everything about Alex.
She takes her time, wrapping one hand around myshaft, while the other cups my balls rolling them gently. “Baby,” I say. Her eyes lock on mine. “I don’t mean to rush you, but if you don’t do something soon, I’m not going to be able to control myself.”
The smile that covers her face is like something of a villain about to lay out their evil plans. She doesn’t say anything as she slowly leans towards me and takes just the tip into her mouth. She swirls her tongue around me, and I throw my head back in ecstasy. My hips jerk towards her involuntarily, causing her to take me deeper, but she doesn’t stop there. She slides me to the back of her throat and uses her hand to help bridge the gap of how far she can take me before she’s backing out and starting again. When she ups her pace I pull out, making her lips pop from the suction.
“What do you think you’re doing?” she asks and starts reaching for me again, but I back away.
“If you keep that up, things are going to end very quickly.” That wicked smile returns as she crawls towards me like she’s on a mission to complete what she started. I’m quick to reach around her, grab her by the hips, and toss her onto the bed on her back. Her gasp is cut off when I’m hovering an inch above her face. “I told you before. I like taking care of you, so there’s no way you’re getting to do that to completion anytime soon.” She growls in protest until I start rubbing the head of my cock against her center and up to her clit before circling back and forth. Her entrance is slick with arousal. I humwith approval. “You enjoy taking me deep in your throat?”
She moans in response.
I stop moving, and she whines. “When I ask you something, you answer. Do you enjoy sucking my cock?”
“Yes,” she drags out in a hiss. I reward her by sliding my tip inside, just to pull out again. I tease her a few more times to make sure she’s ready before I slam to the hilt. Alex arches her back, grinding against me.
“So needy. Hold on, baby.” She digs her fingers into the sheets. “Good girl,” I praise. I pound into her, over and over as she cries out my name, and I swear I never want any other woman to say my name after hearing Alex scream it through the cabin.
I feel her orgasm getting closer as she clenches around me, so I stop. Her head whips towards me in confusion. “You don’t come until I tell you.” She opens her mouth to argue, but I’m quick to interrupt. “We’re going together,” I reassure her. I wait for her to agree before I kiss her sweet mouth.
I continue traveling down her neck and make my way to her perked breast, rolling my tongue around the peak before lightly blowing on it. Her answering shiver urges me to the other one to do the same.
“James, if you don’t start moving, I’m going to flip your ass over.” The sass has my dick twitching in response, then I’m sliding slowly again. She scrunches her face in annoyance, and I bite back a chuckle. “I swear to—” I slam deep on the next thrust, silencing her. I pickup my pace as she arches off the bed again, happy with my movements.
When I’m close, I reach between us. “Now, Alex.” I pinch her ball of nerves, sending her over the edge.
“Oh my god.” She clenches around me as her orgasm rocks through her body, and it sends me over the edge. The pulsing of her muscles around my cock has me spilling inside her. I continue to slowly glide in and out until we both can’t take it anymore.
I close my eyes as I lay next to her, catching my breath. I feel her nails grazing my chest, then her head curling into the crook of my arm, snuggling in.
