Noah

I arrive in Chicago and go directly to the store to let Alexis know I am back in town. I didn’t even tell her that I was coming, I wanted to surprise her. I don’t even know if she wants to see me, to be honest.

“What are you doing here?” she whispers.

“I thought that would be obvious?” I tell her with a quiet emphasis.

“It was a wasted trip. I don’t want to see you,” she says softly, her eyes narrowing.

Alexis turns to walk away from me and my fingers take her arm with gentle authority.

“What are you talking about?”

“I don’t want to see you, Noah. It should be easy for you to understand. Leave or I’ll call security.”

“I came all the way from Boston to see you and you’re telling me to leave? What’s going on, Alexis?” My voice hardened, and her tone becomes even more chilly.

“I had fun, Noah. That’s all it was, and you were supposed to stay in Boston. You were the perfect in-between for me and my boyfriend. Now we're back together and I don’t need you.”

I tilt my head looking at her and shake my head in disbelief.

“You’re lying, Alexis. I don’t believe any of that shit. I will leave for now, but this isn’t over.” I moved closer to her, looking down at her intently. I can feel the heat coming from her. She takes a deep unsteady breath and steps back.

Another girl walks over to us and introduces herself as Adele. Alexis bites her lip and turns towards Adele and shakes her head. Adele looks between the two of us as if she is questioning if she should, in fact, call security and I turn to introduce myself. I introduce myself as Alexis’ boyfriend from Boston. I hear Alexis sigh and I turn to see her nostrils flared with fury.

“He’s not my boyfriend,” Alexis firmly advises.

“Baby… you have spent more time in my bed than your own, I think you can call me your boyfriend,” I say, and her lips thin with anger.

“Adele can you handle things for a few minutes, while I talk to him please?” she muttered hastily and Adele nods as Alexis grabs my arm and pulls me out into a back room and closes the door.

The minute the door is closed I pulled her roughly, almost violently, against me reclaiming her lips. My tongue explores the recesses of her mouth and for a few brief minutes, she lets me. Alexis moves her hands between us and pushes away from me. Her lips almost look bruised as she puts her hands on them and backs away from me.

“Don’t say it, Alexis,” I tell her as I grit my teeth.

“I can’t…” she starts to say, and I cut her off.

“I said don’t say it. I don’t know why you're saying this is over, but it’s not. You and I both know it’s not. I will leave so you can get back to work, but I’ll be waiting for you when the store closes. I am coming back, and we can talk about this later.” I rip the words out impatiently

Gathering her into my arms, I hold her snugly before I walk away…for now.

Alexis raised her chin with a cool stare in my direction when she notices me leaning against her car. I came an hour earlier than the mall closed so I could be waiting for her. I wasn’t about to take the chance that she would leave early to avoid seeing me.

“You came?” she asked matter-of-factly.

“Not yet, but I was hoping maybe later,” I tease her and notice that her lips trembled with the need to smile. I hope that I can spend enough time with her to break down these damn walls that she has managed to build around herself.

“Noah, I really don’t have it in me to do this. “

“Baby I didn’t come back here to fight with you. I miss you and we can go anywhere you want, but please don’t push me away.” The sound of my voice sounded thick and unsteady. I was seconds away from begging this woman and she didn’t have any idea as she stared at me in silence.

“I am not sure why you're so upset with me, but if you will just talk to me and tell me why your so pissed, I will fix it.”

Alexis swallows hard, lifts her chin, and boldly meets my gaze.

“I am not mad at you.”

“Okay. Then let’s go somewhere and talk. Please.”

I just need ten minutes with her and I know she will talk openly with me.

“What’s going on, Baby?” I watch as she starts to bite her lip.

“Nothing is going on, Noah. What is it with you? We had fun and you went back home… to Boston. Where you should have stayed. My life is here, and it goes on whether you are here or not.” I watched Alexis and listened as she unleashed on me. I started to laugh at her and she shot me a cold look.

“What the hell is funny about what I just said?” she counters icily.

“It’s all bullshit, Alexis. You knew from day one I lived in Boston and if you had any issues with it, we never would have started. We made plans on how we’d make it work. The last night we were together, something spooked you and you need to tell me what it was, so I can fix it,” I chuckled nastily.

I can hear her breathing increase. I don’t know if she is nervous or turned on. She doesn’t answer my question, she just stares at me. Alexis raises her glass and finishes it with one gulp.

“You’re right, Noah. It’s all bullshit,” she replies, and I narrow my eyes at her not trusting this agreeable version of Alexis sitting across from me. “How about we go up to your room, Noah?” Alexis asks, and I realize that she is trying to distract me with a quick fuck. I close my eyes and try to ignore the alarm and anger that is rippling along my spine. My heart was hammering, my breathing is now ragged. I want a lot more from her than some “keep me quiet” fuck I realize as I escort her to the elevator.

~*~*~

The last time we were in this room, I practically threw her onto the bed. This time, I gently ease her down onto it. I intend to worship Alexis’ body like a rare piece of art that no one is ever allowed to touch. I lower myself to her and unbutton her shirt. She is wearing a barely-there bra which I pulled down to expose her beautiful, full breasts. I take one into my mouth and suck on one of her nipples with a possessiveness that shocked me. I quickly move to the other while moving to stripping her of her remaining clothes. I then sIt up to kiss her and whisper my love for each part of her body while my hands move gently down her back.

Alexis reaches down between us and wraps her hands around my dick. She pulls on it just enough that I let out a loud moan. I move her hands so that I am aligned with her. I push the tip in slightly and pull back out. I moan as her pussy tries to suck all of me in and Alexis reaches for me but I pull away from her.

“We are not over. We never will be,” I whisper in her ear as I push slowly inside her. Together we found the tempo that binds our bodies together. It was hard and deep, but I never feel deep enough. I push her legs back further holding her legs open with my arms. Alexis gasps in sweet agony as I continued to pump inside her. With every thrust, I feel her defenses weakening. Alexis couldn’t stop her moan of ecstasy that slipped through her lips and neither could I. After four hard thrusts I throw her legs over my shoulders to get a deeper angle, stroking that special place inside her I feel her orgasm beginning to flow through her and it triggers my own as we come together.
