Chapter 34

“Let’s do it,” I say, leaning back in the tub. I sprinkle some bath salts into the water, the delicate lavender scent wafting through the bathroom.

“Again? You’ve already worn me out,” Alex replies, ginning. “But, I suppose we could have another go.” He leans down to kiss me, looking so sexy in a pair of faded blue jeans and nothing else.

“That’s not what I meant, but yeah, we’ll get to that later,” I say, playfully splashing water. Alex laughs, his beautiful blue eyes twinkling.

We’re at my flat, spending the evening together after a busy day at work. The Cosmo Hotel was getting closer to opening, the excitement and anticipation growing each day.

“I’ve been thinking about your plan.” I pause briefly, turning to face to Alex. “After the hotel opens, let’s do it. Let’s get away together for awhile, back to the country. Just you and me.” I look at him expectantly, hoping he still wants to do this.

Alex gazes at me softly, pulling his chair closer to the bath tub. “Are you sure? There’s no pressure.”

“I’m sure. Absolutely, without a doubt sure.” I raise myself up out of the water, just a little, enough to kiss his lips. Those sexy lips that, no matter how much I kiss, I’ll never get enough of.

Alex nods, a look of quiet contentment on his face. “I’m sure, too. Very sure.” He takes the sponge, washes my back, the warm soapy water running down my spine.

“I’ll call Wilson and let him know we’ll be returning in two weeks,” Alex says, helping me out of the tub, handing me a white fluffy towel.

“Okay, that sounds good.” I smile while I towel dry off, realizing this is the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. “Now, what did you say earlier about having another go?” I ask, raising my eyebrows seductively.

“Did I say that?” Alex responds in mock innocence. “I don’t recall ever saying anything about that.” He grins wickedly, making me weak in the knees.

“I do believe you did, Mr. McCall,” I say, letting my towel drop to the floor.

“Mmm…….perhaps you could help me remember, Miss Harris,” he says, leaning down, kissing my neck. He brings me closer to him, his bare chest warm against mine.

“I would be glad to assist you,” my voice husky with desire.

We make our way to my bed, kissing, nibbling each other along the way.

“I want you on top,” I whisper.

I grasp his manhood, pulling him closer. Slowly, I begin stroking him, his skin so smooth, pulled taunt over his hardness. I move my hand faster, up and down, jerking him off. Alex closes his eyes, dropping his head down. A moan escapes his lips.

“God, Katherine, you make me so hard,” he says, groaning. “I want inside you…..” He squeezes his eyes shut, his tongue running over his lips. “You keep doing that, I won’t last.”

I’m so turned on now, I can’t hold back any longer. “Fuck me, then.”

Alex opens his eyes halfway, full of animal lust. Without a word, he guides himself into me, teasingly, circling around my opening.

“Ahhh……..that feels so good,” I moan with delight. He pushes the tip of his cock inside me, staying there for a moment. I buck my hips against him, desperately trying to take more of his cock.

Alex looks down at me with lustful eyes. “What do you want?”

“You,” I say breathlessly.

“I’m yours, all yours.” With one push, he enters me, filling me up all the way. I scream, the feeling a mixture of pain and pleasure, of torture and ecstasy.

I wrap my legs around his waist while he thrusts into me, his pubic bone grinding against me with every thrust.

“Alex…….ALEX!!!” I scream his name, my orgasm taking hold, so intense I feel like I’m going to pass out.

He keeps fucking me, pounding away, our bodies bathed in sweat. Alex groans, a deep, guttural sound, his body shuttering from his orgasm.

We lie in bed together, holding each other, both of us trying to catch our breath. Alex kisses me gently, murmurs, “That was incredible. Every time is incredible.”

We drift in and out of sleep, spooning, my body fitting perfectly against his. Eventually, Alex gets up, slips his jeans back on, pads to the kitchen for a glass of water.

“Have you noticed that black car over there?” he asks, nodding towards the car. I get up, put on a tee shirt and a pair of sweats, and walk over to the sink where Alex is standing.

“No, I haven’t noticed it before,” I shrug, eyeing the black Fiat. It’s parked at the end of the street, in the shadows.

“Mmm.” Alex stands there a couple more seconds, watching. He then closes the blinds quickly.

“Is everything okay?” I ask. He seems concerned. I’m suddenly reminded of the time we met at Portobello Market. When we arrived at the pub for a drink, he had that distracted look – same look on his face right now.

“Alex?”

“Yes? Oh, sorry. Everything is fine.” He embraces me, his strong arms making me feel protected.

I pull back from him, looking him in the eye. “You sure? Because if something isn’t right, you can tell me.”

Alex looks at me, smiling softly. He looks as though he is on the verge of telling me something, but simply shakes his head and says, “I’m sure.” He pulls me back to him, stroking my hair. “I’m sure,” he repeats.

“Okay,” I reply, although I have a vague feeling that something is off. “Well, how about we get back into bed? You’ve worn me out, Mr. London,” I say, teasing him.

“Oh, okay. Now I’m Mr. London, is it?”

“Yep,” I say, giggling as we walk hand in hand back to bed. We crawl under the sheets and fall fast asleep.

An hour later, Nick quietly drives away in the little black car, silently cursing. He didn’t think Alex had seen him sitting in the Fiat. Nick was almost certain he had dropped down just in time, crouching as low as he could, before Alex took notice of the car. Still, he wasn’t absolute certain.

Nick arrives to his flat, tossing the keys on the kitchen counter. He sits down on the couch, thinking. Nick would put his plan on hold – for the moment. He’d put the car in storage, keep a low profile for a few days or so. He had come so far, had waited so long, he was not going to do anything to jeopardize his plan. Nick would just sit and wait. The black Fiat was an unmarked car, which is probably one of the reasons it caught Alex’s attention. However, it was untraceable which meant Alex couldn’t look the vehicle up in the government’s vehicle database. Besides, the car was purchased with cash, under a fake name with a fake ID.

Nick thought about Katherine, a welcome distraction. He was looking forward to meeting her. Unfortunately, their meeting would happen later, rather than sooner. Nick sighed. Nice, sweet Katherine. Nick would show her how nice and sweet he could be, too. Eventually.
