In a way, she had. She had become my everything.

I’d told him to stop being so sweet, but instead of obliging, he seemed to take it as a challenge, touching and teasing me delicately. It felt good, but I hadn’t waited a month for this bullshit. I’d awakened the dominant in him and deserved to be properly fucked by him now.
I’d managed to wriggle out of his grip when he was distracted, and I spun around to put him between me and the wall so he couldn’t immediately pin me again.
The deep rumble of his throaty chuckle made me clench my thighs. His voice alone was enough to drive me wild.
I yanked his shirt up, and he allowed me to pull it off, then I did the same with his pants and boxer briefs. He stepped out of them with a crooked smile, but instead of doing the same to me, continued flouting my command to stop being sweet, teasing my shirt up an inch at a time and trailing his fingertips along each piece of skin he revealed.
If he wasn’t going to cooperate, I would take matters into my own hands. I pulled the rest of my clothes off and threw them into the pile I’d made with his.
I wasn’t even going to play coy. I wanted to touch every last inch of the chiseled perfection that was his body, so I shoved him back into the wall, not caring that his shoulders thumped against it forcefully. I was prepared to grab him by the balls if it would keep him where I needed him to be.
“Stay here.” I started to caress my way down his torso.
“You’re the one who left, Temptress.”
The roughness of his voice as he said it was like a punch to the gut. I didn’t have the words to tell him how much it had hurt to walk away, so I didn’t try. We were here now, and that’s what mattered.
“I had to. For so many reasons, I had to.”
“But you were out there facing it alone and I couldn’t protect you.” He saw my eyes narrow and hastily added, “Not that you need protection, but I want to at least be there for you when things get shitty.”
“Well, you managed to protect me anyway by making sacrifices I would never have asked of you.”
“You’re worth everything to me, Elena.”
I couldn’t catch my breath. “I came back and I’m yours. And you, Mr. Chase, aremine.”
Alex pulled me even closer, lips moving against mine urgently, while his hands cupped my ass possessively.
How could I ever have mistaken him for a Hollywood Pretty Boy? Those easy smiles could make it seem like he was laughing at everything, but they were only a fraction of the picture. He was so unafraid to feel and to express those feelings. It was humbling.
I felt like I was completely in control with him pinned against the wall, but in the blink of an eye, he let me know I was only in control because he was letting me be in control.
He flipped our positions, pinning me back against the wall, towering over me and bracing an arm on either side of me, forming a cage with his big, muscular body.
He reached a hand down between my legs, stroking and teasing without giving me what I wanted, but it was too good to stop him. I panted helplessly. Nothing mattered but his big fingers and what he might do with them next.
My knees almost buckled when he started to rub my clit with his thumb, beginning with torturous, slow circles then working his way up to the pressure that made me a slave to his talented fingers. He thrust one of them inside me, closing his eyes. “Do you want me to fuck you, Temptress?”
“Yes. Fuck me now.”
He stepped back a little and made quick work of putting the condom on. His voice was even deeper than usual as he continued to drive me closer to the edge, both with his words and his fingers stroking me. “Just to be clear, you want me to slide my hard cock deep inside you, fucking this pretty pussy until I feel you coming around me?”
“Do it right now!” I sounded as frantic as I felt, like I was going to shatter if he didn’t give me what I needed. He lifted me and I wrapped my legs around his waist. Just as I thought he was finally going to do it, he paused with his cock pressing against my wetness.
“Remind me,” he murmured calmly, mischief written all over his face. “Was I supposed to fuck you against the wall or on the floor first?”
“The wall. It was definitely the wall…” I said quickly.
I wanted him to thrust into me with one stroke, but he was too big.
“Come on, greedy girl. I thought you wanted this cock?”
