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.
