Page 51 of The Longest Wait

Alex didn’t take his eyes off her, which made her annoyed hesaw through what she tried to hide. He deepened his stare. “We’regoing to play the question game again, where we share things wedon’t know about each other.”

Sofia felt her body tingle. “Last time we played that, wehad sex.”

Alex gave her a grin that basically melted her on the spot.“Maybe that was my point.”

Sofia was done playing games, even ones of the question assortment. In a sultry voice, she said, “Maybe you could just ask me ifI want to go back to our room.”

His eyes heated with desire as he grabbed her hand.“We’re leaving.”

They said their goodbyes rather quickly. Alex even managedto answer his phone and talk to someone, she guessed Travis, fora minute while they took a taxi back to the hotel. On the elevatorthey didn’t say a word. But this time, there was a change in theconstant current between them. It scared the crap out of her.

He thrust again, harder, listening to her rasp his name. Hetightened his grip around her waist with one hand and used theother hand to rub her sensitive skin between her legs. Alex hadto feel her orgasm before he came. He was embarrassingly close,and moved his focus to her pleasure. Touching her until she shivered against him. Once he felt Sofia tighten up around him, Alex’smoved harder and faster inside her until he came.

AS SOON AS they were back in the hotel room, overwhelmingneed took over. Alex grabbed her and tugged her close to him. Desperately trying to show Sofia how much she meant to him throughhis demanding, consuming kisses where his lips devoured hers. Thiswoman had been under his skin for years; she was all he craved.

Fuck.

She was all he needed.

Sofia yanked his belt undone and pushed his pants down,

along with his boxer briefs. She glided her soft hand over his hardshaft. Alex closed his eyes, loving how she made him feel. Therewas something about her, something he never experienced withanyone else but her, that drove him crazy.

He pushed her dress up so it sat around her waist, their mouthscrashing against each other scraping for more, and he hoisted herup. Her legs wrapped around him, and her back slammed againstthe wall.

“Sorry,” he panted into her mouth.

She bit his bottom lip. “Don’t be.”

Sofia arched against him and the head of his cock rubbed

against her slick opening.

She wasn’t wearing underwear.

“You know how it goes. Laundry days,” she responded.Damn her, she was perfect. Alex had to have her. Their needy

kisses, their passionate nips, the air cracked around them. Alexpushed into her and bit the side of her throat. She felt so damn good.HE RESTED HIS forehead against Sofia’s, both of them outof breath. Alex couldn’t stop thinking of how he just fucked heragainst the wall and how needy they both were for each other. Shefelt so good, he already wanted her again. Then he had anotherthought, they didn’t use protection. A condom was something Alexnever forgot. Ever. Shit, he was typically a damn Boy Scout with acondom—what the hell?

“I can honestly feel you getting hard again, but can we moveto a bed? I’m not sure your old age can handle another round thatrequires you to hold me up.”

Alex gently put her down, even though the stress of no condommade him shaky. He wasn’t freaked out because he didn’t use acondom, he was freaking out because he didn’t care.

“We didn’t use protection.”

Sofia’s eyes opened wide. “Oh no!”

Alex stilled. Sure, he wasn’t scared, but their relationship had

more ups and downs than a mountain range. They were nowherenear ready for a baby.

Sofia started to laugh. “You should see your face right now.I wish I had a camera. You can calm down, I’m on the pill.” Shepaused, and then said, “And I trust you, Alex.”

Funny thing was, he trusted her too.

ALEX WOKE UP with Sofia sleeping soundly next to him. Shealways took his breath away. He thought back to when Jack askedhim what had changed with his career and he knew the answer.The missing puzzle piece to his life.

Sofia.
