Moments later, he leaned up and kissed my forehead, finally pushing himself off the bed.

“I’ll go for now.I don’t want to make you any more upset than you already are.Again, I’m truly sorry.”He didn’t make a move to leave.I figured he was waiting for me to say something, anything to let him know we would be okay.

I gave him what he was looking for.

“I’ll talk to you tomorrow.Goodnight.”

My words allowed him to leave my room although he was clearly distraught, not being able to swoop in and fix the very same mess he’d created.

It took me a whole day to finally calm down, the pain Alek caused needing time to slowly fade.I knew in my heart he would never hurt me on purpose, but it still took my head more time to come to the same realization.

He’d apologized profusely, promising to never let anything like that happen again.I believed him.Maybe it was foolish, but I did nonetheless.

A whole week had gone by since I last laid eyes on him.We had talked every day, sometimes multiple times.But between me needing some time to deal with everything, being busy at work and him being away on business, we hadn’t been able to slice out some time to be together.

Our sexual frustration was reaching an all-time high, sometimes manifesting by becoming easily aggravated with one another on the phone.

It was early morning when he called.Sunday was my one free day of the week, so I’d been anticipating us being able to do something together.

“Hey, beautiful.”He sounded in a good mood.

“Hi, babe.Please, tell me you’re calling to whisk me away.”I hoped his call wasn’t merely another check-in.I missed him.My body missed him, and I didn’t know how much more I could take.I was starving for his touch and I hoped he felt the same way.

“Yes, I am.I’ll be there in forty-five minutes.Enough is enough already.I can’t stand not seeing you, holding you, being buried deep inside you.”His tone dipped into a sexy gravel toward the end of his declaration.

He literally made me squirm around on my bed.Excitement was filling the air, and I wanted him to continue.

It was the first time either one of us had even referenced having sex again.Sure, there were small comments here and there, but nothing significant.But I was ready.He was right.Enough was enough.What the hell am I holding out for?

“You want to be buried deep inside me, do you?What else do you want to do to me, Alek?Huh?”My own tone was much more breathy than normal and I heard him falter on the other end, waiting what seemed like forever before he responded.

“I’m not wasting precious minutes describing what I want to do to you over the phone.I’ll be more than happy to show you in person.I’ll be there in half an hour.”

“I thought you said forty-five minutes.”I tried not to laugh, but I could tell he was worked up and would probably break all traffic laws just to reach me.

“Well, that was before you asked me what else I wanted to do to you.You better be ready for me when I arrive, baby, because I’m going to make you beg and scream.”

Then all I heard was dead air.

In preparation for his arrival, I took a quick shower, shaved all necessary areas, brushed my teeth and made sure my long, dark hair cascaded down my back in nice, big waves.He needs something to grab on to, right?

Instead of getting dressed, I pulled on a short, red silk robe and waited until I heard his car.

Once I knew he was outside, I moved toward my front door and opened it as he was approaching.As soon as he saw me, he gifted me with one of his panty-dropping smiles.If I wasn’t afraid of anyone hearing, I would have jumped him right there in the hallway.

He was two steps in to my apartment when he pulled me close. Reaching down with both arms, he grabbed me underneath my backside and raised me up.Without any instruction, my legs wrapped around his waist, and it was then he noticed I was naked underneath my robe.

“I’m going to fuck you so hard, baby.I’ve missed you too much.”His lips were on me before he took another step.

“We have to be quiet because Alexa is actually home for once,” I announced, my fingers weaving through his thick hair.

“Then she’s going to hear us because there is no way we’re being quiet.I’ve waited way too long for this, and I don’t care who’s around.”
