Page 40 of Alex

Alex was in command again and Evelyn was surprised at how easily Pax seemed to defer to him.

Four hours later they had the details ironed out and Gunner had shown Pax to her room for the night. She was sitting on a large rattan L-shaped couch with white padded cushions in the fully enclosed patio with a glass of wine in her hand. The heat from the outside patio heater kept the chill from the air as she tucked her feet underneath her. Evelyn was totally relaxed and enjoying the relative quiet of the late afternoon where the only sounds were muted movements from inside the house and birds chirping in the sun.

Gunner and Blake had gone into the town to cruise the bars looking for any intel that would prove useful. Liam was in his room and Reid had slipped out saying he had a few things to do but wouldn’t elaborate.

She felt Alex move behind her, the heat from his body warming her skin as he slipped his body behind hers and pulled her close. His arms around her gave her a feeling of safety and contentment as he pressed a kiss to her hair.

“You okay, mi nena? You’ve been quiet all afternoon.”

“Yeah, I’m fine. Just a little anxious. What if something goes wrong?”

“Look at me, Evelyn.” His tone was firm, and she slowly twisted her head to him. His face was fierce in the dusky light as he lifted his hand to cup her face. “Nothing will go wrong, mi nena. I won’t let it. None of us will. We stick to the plan, get in, find the file, and get out.”

“I know. I don’t know why I’m worrying. I just have this pit in my gut that won’t shut up.”

“Is that normal for you?”

She knew from his tone he hated that he had to ask. “No, but then I don’t normally do this with the man I love,” she replied putting her heart out there on the line for him to take or crush. Evelyn held her breath while she waited for him to speak.

“I won’t let you down, Evelyn. Just keep a cool head and we’ll be back home in no time at all and can plan what happens next.” His arms tightened around her and she felt tears prick her eyes at the way he had ignored her declaration. “I’ll tell you one thing though, when we get home, I’m going to tie you to the bed and never let you leave. I love you too much to even contemplate life without you. So, you can relax those muscles and stop fearing the worst. I would never treat such a precious gift as your heart with anything but respect and gentleness.”

Her body relaxed and she lifted a hand to stroke his jaw. “I love you so much, Alex” She followed her declaration with a soft kiss. He let her take the lead not pushing to take over but allowing her to explore until the kiss became heated as their need burned bright and white hot.

“I love you too, Evelyn. Don’t ever doubt that you are the other half of me. You’ve held my heart in your palm since you were six.”

“Yeah, I kinda stole it.” She laughed feeling lighter and more confident.

“No, mi nena, I gave it to you freely,” he murmured as he stood and grasped her ass in his hands, lifting her until her legs wrapped around his waist.

Evelyn grinned a lopsided smile and pressed her body into his. “I haven’t finished my wine.” She nuzzled her face into his neck inhaling his scent as it sent a jolt to her pussy. She had always loved the smell of him.

“Fuck the wine, I want to taste that sweet pussy.” He held her tightly as he stalked inside past a grinning Pax and up the stairs to the room they were sharing. His words sent heat pooling in her belly as her pussy throbbed with the need for him.

Her Alex had acquired a dirty mouth since they were younger, and she fucking loved it.

“Tell me more,” she said as he pushed open the bedroom door with his shoulder before slamming it with his foot and turning to pin her against the door, her legs still around his waist, his hard cock pressing against her sensitive clit.

“I intend too.” His smirk was the last thing she saw before his mouth crashed down on hers.
