It’s difficult to read his expression. It’s a mix of relief and confusion. But there’s no time to ponder this as I’m immediately distracted by his large, muscular hand that’s now rubbing at the prominent bulge in his pants.

My eyes roll back in my head, and I let out a whimper at the thought of him pulling out his cock and stroking it for me. I can’t believe I’m doing this, but his reaction is everything I wanted and more. Well, short of ripping his clothes off and taking me here on this bed in a squad building full of people.

“I want to taste you.”

This elicits an uncontrollable gasp. No one has ever made such a statement, much less actually done it.

“Let me see your fingers, Sunny.”

What?I remove my hand from my panties and lift it peculiarly. Before I can consider whether to return to what I was doing, Alex leans forward, licking the pads of my fingers, and I struggle for breath.

“Fuck, you’re sweet. You’re killing me, Tues. Do you have any idea how badly I want you?”

“No,” I answer honestly.

“Drop your fingers back down and finish the job, baby. I want to watch you come.”

Oh. My. God.

Closing my eyes so I don’t completely flake out, I slide my hand back into my panties and swirl the pads of my fingertips over my swollen clit. I’m literally throbbing right now.

The sound of metal teeth clicking beside me causes my lids to pop wide, and I turn to see Alex reaching into his black boxers. Even with his pants still on, I can tell he’s big. My fingers dance feverishly over my wet folds as he strokes his concealed length beside me, my pace picking up each time the almost purple, wide crown of his dick peeks out of the top of his boxers.

“Alex,” I whimper, trying to keep my voice low.

“Fuck, Sunny. I want to feast on you right now. Kiss those ruby red lips, suck from what I bet are the prettiest tits I’ve ever seen, and devour that sweet pussy until you’re coming all over my face.”

“Oh, god.”

“Has anyone ever eaten you before?”

“No.”

A delicious smirk lifts one corner of his mouth as he tugs harder on his cock.

“Alex, I’m…”

Squatting down by the bed, he places his mouth next to my ear. “Get it, beautiful girl. Come for me.”

My body starts to convulse; the sounds of ecstasy tumbling from my lips are, I’m sure, far too loud for this public place. As if he’s read my mind, his delicious mouth is on mine, swallowing my sounds as my shaking starts to subside.

“I need your hand, baby.”

His words break through the fog, and I slide my hand free as I did earlier. Alex’s lips wrap around my fingers, and his groan vibrates against my trembling hand. All of a sudden, he pulls them free as profanity collides with my palm. The sight of him is like nothing I ever imagined. With his eyes closed, head thrown back, Alex stills, moaning incoherently as I only assume he empties into his hand.

What on earth have we just done?

Chapter 15

Tuesday

“The annual rescue squad and fire banquet are coming up soon. Do you think Alex will take you?” Grace asks from her perch on the counter beside me at Cygnature Blooms.

I shared what had transpired after she called Alex to rescue me. Well, the abbreviated version. She doesn’t need to hear the dirty details. Heck, I barely believe that happened. “I don’t think he’s interested in a relationship with me.”

“What? Why?” she whines, tearing off the end of her red cherry Twizzlers.

“He had several reasons. For one, he isn’t ready to risk the wrath of my brother.” She rolls her eyes as if this is some sort of a cop-out. I admit I felt the same way before. “He’s honestly worried if something didn’t work out with us, he’d lose all of us. My brother, me, and my parents. They practically consider him a member of the family.”
