Page 6 of Dirty Deceptions

“Oh, God!” She cried out as their gazes collided. White-hot desire arced back and forth between them. Alexander wanted more. He ached to push her beyond pleasure, beyond satisfaction.

Wrapping one arm around her bottom, Alexander anchored them together, then shifted around until he was sitting on the edge of the bed with Lauren perched on his lap. Her brows scrunched in confusion. He winked, then got to his feet and walked them to the nearest wall. He pushed her up against it and thrust deep. Her moans matched his and when her hands moved to his hair, pulling and digging into his scalp, Alexander’s brain shut down entirely. Her feral response fueled the blaze inside him and he shoved his hips against hers, holding the round globes of her ass in his palms as he fucked her.

He was a breath away from coming. His body stiffened, leg muscles flexed as he moved her bottom up and down onto his swollen shaft.

Lauren threw her head back and began to climb that intoxicating peak once more. Soon they were both burning like an out-of-control brush fire. Lauren wrapped her body around him as she shouted his name. Alexander cursed at the pleasure. Her curves crushed against him and took him higher. He lowered his head and nipped at a sensitive spot behind her ear. Lauren slammed her hips into his, then screamed as yet another beautiful climax gushed forth. Her smooth vaginal walls contracting around his length sent him soaring over that invisible cliff with her this time, her body milking him dry.

He took a moment, allowing the wall to hold them both up before he pulled back a few inches. Her head was pressed to his chest and her eyes were closed. He wrapped a fist in her hair and tugged until she was staring at him. “You’re amazing,” he praised her.

The dark fires in her eyes were as addicting as any drug. When her little pink tongue darted out, licking at her bottom lip, Alexander’s dick thickened. She quirked a brow. “You can’t be ready again.”

“Keep licking your lips like that and I will be real soon, baby,” he replied, knowing it was no less than the truth. She got to him. The way no other woman ever had.

She smiled and dipped her head to his chest. When she kissed his overheated skin, directly over his heart, something inside him gave way. Yeah, this wasn’t a one-time deal. She might not know it yet, but he had plans for her. So many delicious plans.

“You wore me out, Alex,” she murmured as she rested her cheek against him. Her exotic scent swirled around him, tempting him.

“I’ll bathe you,” he offered. “Would you like that?”

She nodded but didn’t say anything. It wasn’t until Alexander felt her body go limp against his, trusting him to hold them both up that he headed for the adjoining bathroom. He grabbed a towel from a rack and placed it on the counter before sitting her on top of it. When Alexander pulled his cock free, he immediately hated it. He wanted to be inside her again. How had she gotten under his skin so fast?

He made quick work disposing of the condom, then went to fill the tub before he came back to stand between her legs. She hadn’t said a word as she watched him move about the room. When he brushed several sweat-soaked curls off her forehead and kissed her, she sighed. As he pulled away he could see a note of apprehension and he wondered at it. “What’s wrong?”

She looked away from him. Shit, that wasn’t a good sign. “I did mention that I’ve never done this before, right?”

Alexander gripped onto her chin and tugged. He refused to let her put distance between them. “I’m not accustomed to taking women home from bars either. But I’m not sorry. Are you?”

“I should be but I’m not. I’m trying to figure out if that makes me a terrible person or not.”

“You aren’t. I promise you aren’t.” She started to argue, but he pressed a finger to her lips. “Let's just enjoy the evening. I swear it’ll all work out.”

She shook her head. “You can’t possibly know that.”

He did, but he kept that part to himself. What Lauren didn’t know was just how ruthless he could be. She wouldn’t walk away from him come morning. He would happily use everything he had at his disposal to keep her. A woman like Lauren came along once in a lifetime, and he wasn’t so stupid as to let her slip through his fingers.

Abruptly his father’s words came back to him.When you meet the woman of your heart you’ll know in an instant.A Costa man loved but once, and it was for life.

Chapter Three

Lauren had never felt so good, or so satiated. After their bath, she’d offered to make them a midnight snack. Now, Alex sat in one of the kitchen chairs with her astride him. He’d insisted they eat naked. Another first for her. How on Earth he managed to talk her into things she’d never consider otherwise boggled her mind.

“I’m really glad you aren’t a serial killer,” she told him, as she bit off a chunk of her ham and swiss cheese sandwich.

He chuckled around a mouthful of his own snack. “And I’m sort of glad Jake dumped you. His loss is my reward, after all.”

She shrugged as she finished off the last corner. “I should be more upset over it, but the truth is we never really hit our groove, you know?”

“How long were you two together?”

Lauren could feel Alex’s cock pressing against her ass. He was hard as a spike. The man seemed to have no chill. “Um, about six months.”

He leaned close and kissed the tip of her nose, then murmured, “If he couldn’t make it happen in that amount of time then he doesn’t deserve you.”

And there went her heart again, doing backflips every time the guy spoke to her, touched her, looked at her. Lauren suspected she was forgetting that this was only meant to be a one-nighter. Spontaneous sex with a stranger. Check it off her bucket list kind of thing. Hearts did not need to get involved. Still, as she caught him watching her with those sexy silver-blue eyes of his, Lauren knew she was a sinking ship. But how did he feel about her? Would he want to see her come Monday or not?

“Did I say something wrong?”

“Huh?” he quirked a brow at her and she quickly shook her head. “No, nothing like that. It’s just…well…”
