Chapter Twenty Three
*** ~~ *** ~~ *** ~~ ***
Three months later...
Ashleigh was sitting at a table in the front of the children’s section of a local bookstore, smiling and talking to the kids who had come to listen to her read her latest book. For the most part, that had gone well, only a couple of unruly kids who weren’t too happy with having to sit still for longer than five minutes, but really, who could blame them?
As much as she enjoyed these public interactions, she was anxious to get back home. Her latest erotica book had released that day, and she was eager to see what her fans were saying about it. Since this one was for a much more mature audience than the one she had entertained for the last hour, she couldn’t very well pull it up on her phone just to see.
Not that spending a Tuesday afternoon with a group of kids who loved to hear about barnyard animals, especially those that talked, wasn’t a nice way to pass the time. It was. But, being that the last few months had been steady going with her writing, much of her inspiration thanks to Alex and his wild ways, she was anxious to get some feedback.
Speaking of Alex...
The man walked in the bookstore, looking way too handsome for his own good. For three months, they’d managed to spend a significant amount of time together, both exploring one another in the physical sense as well as each other’s interests.
They’d checked off a few more items on her list, and a couple that weren’t listed because they were for her eyes only. Between riding four wheelers, taking a long weekend to go skiing before the weather warmed too much, and taking in her first major league baseball game, Ashleigh was having the time of her life.
As she watched him move closer, that devilishly sexy grin sending all sorts of erotic images through her mind, Ashleigh noticed a few other women glance his way.
That happened quite often. He was definitely a man that drew attention. Both from his sheer size and his extraordinary good looks, women seemed to flock to him.
“Hey.” He said when he approached, leaning down and kissing her on the cheek. “Is it time to sneak out of here yet?” The last part was for her ears only, and she was grateful because there were still a couple of little ones wandering around.
“Five minutes.”
“Perfect. I’ll meet you up front when you’re done.” He said, grinning before he took off to another part of the store.
Ashleigh didn’t know what he was up to, but, for the last few days, he’d been particularly restless. Namely when it came to sex. If she didn’t know better, she was beginning to think their activities were becoming a little stale for his taste. Since she was inclined to agree, though she would never tell him that, it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
It just seemed as though they had run out of ideas in recent weeks. Ever since that raunchy game of Truth or Dare, they’d been having some of the best sex ever. And a lot of it. Which explained the rut they had found themselves in.
Ashleigh could think of a number of new things they could try, but she wasn’t sure she should be recommending them. After all, Alex had pretty much staked his claim and since the afternoon of libidinous games they had played with the McCoy clan, he was keeping things pretty tame. Much to her dismay.
Ten minutes later, Ashleigh was wandering through the store until she came upon Alex checking out at the front. She waited for him by the door as he paid for his purchases, the pretty, young sales clerk flirting relentlessly with him. When he turned to see her standing there, he grinned, and Ashleigh felt it all the way to her toes.
Being the center of his attention was definitely something she had never gotten used to, but something she hoped to never have to go without.
“Ready?” He asked when he approached, pulling her against him. She inhaled the now familiar scent of him, still getting a buzz from the sexy, intoxicating fragrance that was unique to Alex.
“Ready.” She confirmed as he took her hand in his, linking their fingers as he normally did and led her to his truck. “Where are we going?” She asked as he was pulling out of the parking lot.
“I was thinking about taking you home and getting you naked.” He said, throwing a glance at her before turning his gaze back to the road.
“What did you buy?” She asked, looking into the bag. Her heart stopped, then started with a jolt when she saw her latest release staring back at her.
“I figured I’d get an autograph from my favorite author.” He grinned sheepishly.
“Awww. Are you sucking up?”
“Yep.” He said, pulling onto one of the back roads that would take them to her house. Because of the location, her house was quite a ways out from the rest of civilization, and especially on a weekday afternoon, the roads were devoid of any other cars. “I was thinking about you today.”
“Is that right?” Ashleigh asked, getting a sense that this was about to take a turn for the forbidden. She wasn’t sure why, but she got the impression that Alex was up to his naughty best, and she was seriously liking where this was going.
“I was thinking about your lips.” He told her, not looking at her. “Then I started thinking about how sweet they are around my cock.”
Ashleigh felt her juices pool between her thighs, his words setting off a flash fire of heat down low. This was the Alex she’d been missing for a few weeks now. The one who had dirty thoughts and even dirtier words. She liked it. And she was pretty sure he knew she liked it.
When he pulled her hand, still linked with his, closer to him, Ashleigh knew where this was going, and her fingers suddenly itched to touch him. She leaned over the center console a little more, allowing him to place her hand on the hard ridge of his erection.
“Are you trying to tell me something?” Ashleigh asked, trying to sound innocent.
“God, yes.” He groaned when she rubbed her hand over the rigid length of him. “Touch me, Ashleigh.”
Ashleigh glanced out the window to ensure they were still alone on the isolated road before she leaned over farther, managing to release his cock from his jeans with quick, easy movements.
As he drove, she stroked the velvety soft shaft she’d uncovered, wanting nothing more than to put him in her mouth. Except he was driving and that was a distraction he could ill afford, so she settled for stroking him slow and easy, teasing him but never getting him close to where he wanted to be.
When he turned off, she recognized where they were going, and she smiled. This wasn’t the road that led to her house; it was one that led to a secluded lake they’d discovered on one of their morning runs. Within a minute, he was parked near the water’s edge, not another soul in sight.
“Baby.” Alex groaned. “I need to feel your mouth on me.”
Ashleigh unlatched her seat belt and leaned across the hard console, trying to get as comfortable as possible.
~~*~~
“I think it’s about time I trade this bad boy in for one without a console.” He chuckled as he gripped his cock, stroking a little harder than she had been. “Put your mouth on my cock.” Alex insisted in that tone he knew she loved. “Fuck yes.”
He wasn’t sure what compelled him to take her for a drive, but he could feel her anxiety building. They’d been going through the paces for a couple of months, getting to know one another on more than just a sexual level. And although their relationship was going strong, Ashleigh was getting restless. Ever since that damn game of Truth or Dare.
Not that they were having issues when it came to sex, Alex just felt as though she wanted it to be a little more spontaneous.
Well, you couldn’t get more spontaneous than this.
Gripping her hair, Alex held Ashleigh’s head as she skillfully stroked him with her tongue. “That’s it, baby. Fuck that’s good. Suck me harder.”
Alex had to grit his teeth when she began furiously ravishing his cock with her sweet mouth, using her hand to stroke him. It was so fucking good. Her mouth was like heaven, and he could have held off for hours, letting the warmth of her tongue slide over the swollen head, teasing the sensitive spot just beneath. Then she did that thing with her tongue and her teeth, pushing him closer to the edge.
“Baby.” He warned, knowing he wasn’t going to hold out. “I’m going to come in your mouth.” He held her head in his lap, thrusting between her lips. “That’s it. Fuck.” Alex groaned.
Ashleigh gripped his shaft tighter, stroking slow and steady, matching the rhythm of her head as it moved up and down over his lap. He wanted to see her, but being that they were in the small confines of the truck, he had to settle with letting the urgency in her movements bring him closer to release.
“I love to feel your mouth on me.” Alex groaned, hanging on by a very thin thread. “Fuck, baby.” He was close. So fucking close.
Holding her head still, Alex’s body tightened, trembled, then exploded as she continued to use her tongue to torment him as his semen flooded her mouth.
When she sat up and faced him, he cupped her face, pulling her to him so he could kiss her, tasting his own saltiness, mixed with her sweetness. It was a combination he’d never get tired of.
“I hate to spoil your fun,” Ashleigh stated, smiling when she pulled back from him, “but if you don’t mind, I’d like to go home. Today’s the first day my book went on sale, and there are a couple of things I’d like to check.”
Well. He could definitely accommodate that request, but he had only one stipulation. There was no way he’d make it easy on her. “Ok.” He paused, mesmerized by the intense heat still lingering in her eyes. “Under one condition.”
“What’s that?” She asked, looking both intrigued and a little leery.
“As soon as we get inside, I want you naked.”
“You’re on.”
Ten minutes later, they were walking into her house, but before Alex allowed Ashleigh to make it two steps past the door, he was pulling her backward until she fell into him. Her laugh filled the entry way and his heart with happiness. Alex loved when she laughed. It was one of the best parts of his day.
When she tried to pull away, still giggling, he lifted her feet from the floor and held her suspended in the air briefly before once again setting her back on the ground. Glancing down at her, he made sure she saw the demand in his eyes and the laughter ceased as did the smile, but in its place... blazing heat.
In the last few months, Alex noticed the way Ashleigh responded to his stern tone, so on occasion, he’d test her. He could pretty much predict she’d be wet and ready for him. Just the way he liked her.
“Naked, baby.” He said, tilting her chin up to him. “Right now.”
He took a step back, propping his back against the wall, crossing his arms over his chest and watching her as she fidgeted for a second before that steely determination he admired so much took hold.
With grace and sheer femininity, Ashleigh disrobed, even shedding her panties and bra without him asking. He sucked in a breath because she just did that to him. Anytime he caught her naked, she made him breathless. She was just that beautiful.
Before he could say another word, she shot him a sweet, seductive grin and turned away, heading right to her computer. His eyes were glued to the gentle sway of her hips and the luscious curve of her butt as she walked away.
Without an ounce of modesty, she took the laptop over to the couch and took a seat while he continued to stare at her from across the room.
He loved that about her. Well, it wasn’t just her confidence and class because if he was completely honest with himself, he loved everything about her. Everything.
Taking a seat in the overstuffed chair facing the sofa, he crossed one ankle over the opposite knee and clasped his hands behind his head. In it for the long haul, he was.
“Put your feet on the coffee table and spread your legs. I want to see that pretty pussy.”
She didn’t falter. Instead, Ashleigh propped her laptop at a different angle, placing her feet exactly as he instructed. He was beginning to wonder how far she’d allow him to go, and he couldn’t think of a better time to test the waters.
He allowed her to work for a few minutes while he admired her from a few feet away. She might’ve thought he didn’t catch the way her eyes darted his way every so often, but he did.
Getting up, he didn’t say a word as he disappeared into her bedroom. A week or so ago, he’d placed a couple of toys in the nightstand on the side of the bed he slept on when he stayed the night. They hadn’t gotten around to using them. Yet.
He took the blue mini vibrator from the plastic package before inserting the batteries he’d brought and pocketed it before returning to his place in the chair.
Alex saw her confusion, but he also noticed the subtle way she squirmed in her seat. She was getting worked up, and he hadn’t even touched her yet.
He was about to change that.
“Let me know when you can take a break.” He said, trying not to smile.
“Did you need something?” She asked in that deceptively sweet tone. “I can take a break.” Without further hesitation, Ashleigh set the laptop on the couch beside her, turning her attention to him.
Without the laptop obstructing his view, he was able to take in the mouthwatering sight of her stunning body. Ashleigh wasn’t petite by any means, she was long and lean. Not to mention, sexy from her head to her toes.
There were so many parts of her body that had become his favorite, like the sleek column of her neck that he wanted to nuzzle with his lips, or the crook of her elbow, or her pretty pink tipped toes. Her long, shiny hair hung over her shoulders, resting just above her magnificent breasts and he wanted to run his fingers through it, to feel it’s silkiness as she leaned over him, riding him until she came
Everything about the woman made his body come alive, but more importantly, she made his heart swell with emotion when he least expected it.
Leaning forward, he set the small blue toy on the table in front of her and watched her eyes widen, her mouth open in shock.
“Pick it up.” He ordered, literally sitting on the edge of his seat. His dick had swelled and was throbbing with need, making it entirely too uncomfortable to be sitting down, but he forced himself to stay where he was.
Ashleigh leaned forward, reaching for the toy, and he noticed the slight tremble in her hand. He knew her well enough now that she wasn’t trembling in fear, she was trembling with need.
Alex was the first to agree with Logan, the women they were with were slowly turning into sexual monsters, but Alex wasn’t complaining. This woman had blown him away with her passion. Ashleigh didn’t shy away from anything, at least not up to this point. He just prayed there wasn’t a day that he couldn’t hold her interest.
With the vibrator in hand, Ashleigh stared back at him, obviously waiting for what he would do or say next. “Lean back and spread your legs more. I want to see you play with your clit.”
Her eyes widened even more, the golden brown shining with reserved anticipation, but she sat back, staring down at the blue toy in her hand like she’d never seen one before.
Admittedly, he was enjoying all of the firsts that the two of them were experiencing together. On the flip side, he wasn’t all that fond of the patience he’d had to get a handle on in recent weeks. The woman was going to make his head explode.
~~*~~
Ashleigh stared down at the little toy in wonder. Not because she hadn’t seen one before but because of what Alex expected her to do. She had learned in recent weeks that she’d had to pretend not to be intimidated by the sexual openness he lured out of her. It was becoming second nature to be naked around him, but to play with herself...
She wasn’t so sure she could do it.
Not that she hadn’t already done so many things she’d never expected to do with him, but each time she had to build up the nerve just to get through it. Like now.
Leaning back on the couch, she suddenly wished he’d join her. That would make it so much easier, but not Alex. He might be averse to having others watch, but he clearly enjoyed watching her.
“Turn it on, baby.” Alex said, his voice coming out husky and eager. Ashleigh knew how he felt. She was pretty sure her voice wasn’t working at the moment, so she didn’t say anything.
Twisting the end, the little blue toy came to life. Just like every other time he pushed her to try something new, she wondered if she should just back out. That wasn’t in her nature though, and secretly she liked how her actions seemed to please him.
He surprised her when he ripped his shirt up and over his head, tossing it to the floor beside the chair, his eyes never leaving hers. The sight of his naked chest and those magnificently formed abs had her body trembling as much as the vibrator in her hand.
“Put it on your clit.” He said a little more firmly and she leaned back, spreading her legs, keeping her eyes trained on the plastic toy.
She was going to drop it, her hands were shaking so bad. Only the sound of his erratic breathing spurred her on, and she slipped the vibrator between her legs, easing it between her hypersensitive folds until she found the tiny bundle of nerves.
“Oh.” She didn’t hold back her moan because that was what Alex wanted, and quite frankly, the stimulation was more than she could stand. With the vibration on low, she wondered if she would come right there, touching herself while Alex watched.
“I wish that was my tongue,” he said, standing.
She wished it was his tongue. The man could do wicked things to her with his tongue, and she had dreams about all the ways that he had explored her.
Pressing harder, Ashleigh’s body tensed from the overstimulation, the sudden, acute tingle that radiated from between her legs had her clinching her teeth, trying to hold back.
She continued to play with herself while she watched him undress, uncovering all of those sleek, well defined muscles right there in front of her. The man was utter perfection with his smooth, tan skin, and lean, ripped muscle. The sight of him made her body ache for the feel of his weight pressed against her, looming over her as he thrust his powerful body into hers.
Another moan escaped, this one louder than the last, surprising her as much as it seemed to turn him on. When he was finally naked, he moved the coffee table before kneeling before her, his eyes intently focused on her hand moving between her legs.
“Touch me, Alex.” She begged, pleading for his warmth, for his tenderness.
“So pretty.” Alex said, then glanced up in to her eyes. “I will jack off to this memory for years to come.”
Whether it was the way he said it, or the actual words, she didn’t know, but Ashleigh nearly exploded. “Please.” She needed more, and she was too worked up to do it herself.
Alex took the vibrator from her trembling fingers and expertly began stroking her clit as he used one of his fingers to delve inside her.
“More.” She encouraged him, throwing herself into the cushions behind her as her body ignited. “I need more, Alex.” She was begging, and it should have told her how far gone she was, but the way he touched her, knowing just the right amount of pressure to apply was making her body hum.
“That’s it, baby.” Alex whispered. “You’re so wet. So tight.”
If his husky voice was anything to go by, he was right there with her, wanting more, needing everything.
“I want to be inside you when you come.” He told her, pulling the vibrator from her clit. “Stand up.”
The insistence and hunger in his tone had her jumping, trying to do what he wanted because she knew it was the only way to assuage the ache that was building to astounding levels. He didn’t disappoint because as soon as she stood, he sat down, the long, hard length of him ready and waiting.
“Sit on my cock, Ashleigh.” He was no longer suggesting, he was demanding, and she was right there with him. When she started to straddle him, he stopped her with one hand on her though. “Turn around the other way.”
Her mind attempted to understand what he was telling her, but she did as she was told, turning to face away from him. When his hands gripped her hips, pulling her down onto his lap, she realized what it was he wanted. Reverse cowgirl, she’d heard the position called.
Biting her bottom lip, Ashleigh cried out as he filled her completely, the feeling so wonderful, so familiar, she could barely stop herself from shattering the instant he was lodged deep inside. The angle was different and oh so perfect, his cock raking nerve endings she never knew she had, while he went deeper than she thought possible.
“Damn, baby.” He groaned the words, digging his fingers into her hip as she eased onto him, slowly moving forward and back. “Take the vibrator. Put it on your clit.”
Ashleigh’s brain was fuzzy, but she managed to do as he instructed, taking the toy and pushing it against her clit as he lifted her hips with his hands, his biceps flexing and bunching as he held her weight before thrusting hard and fast into her.
“Oh, God!” She screamed, the vibrator slipping before she righted it and once again pressed against the bundle of nerves throbbing, moments away from an orgasm that would likely shake her to her very core.
“So fucking beautiful.” He moaned. “Come for me, Ashleigh. Come around my cock, baby.”
Ashleigh’s thigh muscles screamed as she tried to lift and lower herself onto him, forcing him deeper, but she couldn’t seem to move fast enough. Finally, he held her hips, forcing her to remain still as he pounded into her over and over until she couldn’t hold back. The rush started between her thighs, a flame igniting in her womb before the spasms started and she was coming. “Oh, God! Yes! Alex!”
“That’s it, baby. Ashleigh. Fuck!” Alex roared, and she felt him pulse and throb inside her as his orgasm took him, setting off another breathtaking explosion that left her weak and crumbling on top of him.
Good grief. She was pretty sure it didn’t get better than that.
