Page 70 of His Wife

His shoulders move as he breathes in deep then shakes my hand. “Always.”

“Take the women home. Get Mira checked out. If Mom asks, you two were in a minor car accident. That’s it.”

Nicoli nods.

“Maximo and I will get this mess cleaned up,” I say, turning to look at Micah one more time. “He never existed until today. And now we’ll continue as if today never fucking happened.”

I find my wife’s gaze, and she gives me a warm smile that makes my heart swell. And as I watch her walk out with her arm around Mira’s waist, I remind myself how I felt during the time I thought Micah had taken her. The fear, the panic, the darkness that consumed me like a black hole that kept on growing, eating away at my insides. During those moments, I caught a glimpse of what my life would be without her, and I now know that I would cross the Devil if it meant keeping that from happening.

My lie? My deception? I pray that it will be buried with me when my time comes. I don’t care if it haunts me in the afterlife, as long as it doesn’t take her from me in this one.

ChapterTwenty-Five

LEANDRA

I’m awake when Alexius slips under the covers beside me. His warmth seeps through the satin of my nightgown, his breath warm on my neck. Strong, deft fingers slide along the curve of my hip, and he pulls my back flush against his chest. It’s when he shifts, forcing his knees behind mine, and I wiggle my ass closer, that I feel his hard length.

The silence is calm, tranquil, almost dreamlike as if today never happened. As if my husband didn’t kill a man and Mira didn’t get hurt. Static currents tease my skin to life as his hand bunches up the fabric of my nightgown, easing the satin up my thigh, causing goosebumps to form on my legs.

The heavy musk of whiskey lingers on his breath as it wafts against the side of my neck. Expert fingers dance along the edge of my panties, drawing them to the side, and he rolls his hips, pressing himself against me, his cock thick and insistent as it slides along my naked ass. My body is fire and flames as I grind against him, arousal pooling between my legs, the tip of his cock spreading a bead of moisture across my skin that provokes the deep ache in my core.

He catches my panties around his thumb, his other fingers biting into my hip. As I move to meet his gentle thrusts, I moan and whimper with soft, panting breaths. His cock dips between my legs, his length brushing against my pussy lips, coating his cock with my lust.

“I need you,” he whispers against my ear.

“I’m yours.”

With a quick flick of his wrist, he has me on my back and moves on top of me, pulling the white nightgown over my head, tossing it to the ground before hooking his fingers at the sides of my panties, forcing my thighs together and legs up in front of him as he slides them off.

His hands ease down my legs, my calves resting against his shoulders while the air around us grows thick with the scent of sex. It’s when he palms my ass, spreading my slit open for him, that I suck in a breath, his gaze hot on my naked cunt. I can’t get enough of watching him, witnessing how he looks at my bare pussy, how his eyes roam my naked body, his lips glistening with a feral hunger.

My knees bend as he forces them to the front, and he leans down, sliding his tongue through my slit, earning a desperate moan from my lips. Instant euphoria surges through my veins, lighting my body on fire as he licks my cunt and sucks my clit into his mouth, driving me insane. His tongue is soft, wet, and eager, tracing my pussy lips with the tip before dipping into my entrance as his fingers spread me wide open for him.

I’m writhing on the sheets, grabbing the pillow and clawing at the ends while his tongue drives me toward a climax. But just as I feel the first lick of an orgasm starting at my toes, he jerks my legs apart and pulls me downward.

His eyes are dark and beautiful, but there’s a gentleness in his gaze that makes my heart swell as it rakes down my body, his sapphire irises burning with flames of blue. It’s like he’s seeing me for the first time, drinking me in, absorbing me with an intensity that strokes against every bone in my body. Shadows from the dim light dance across his chest, every muscle ripped and toned, his shoulders broad and frame majestic. Regal. Dominating.

His gaze takes mine captive, his lips glistening with my arousal, and he eases a fingertip along my bare pussy, sending electric waves up my core. I arch my back, my hands fisting the sheets when he finds my clit, gently stroking the nub, slowly working my body into a frenzy of sensation.

“Alexius,” I moan, and he slides a finger inside me, curling it upward, finding the spot that makes my legs quiver. More whimpers roll off my lips, his finger moving in and out of me while his other hand teases my clit, increasing the pressure to set my body alight.

Release teeters at the edge of exploding when his touch is gone, leaving me empty and panting. He grabs my hips, lifting my ass off the bed and pulling me downward, my thighs clenched against his sides, his knees propped under me.

I bite my lip when I feel the velvety tip of his cock against my entrance, my body trembling with need.

“Take it,” he murmurs, his voice low and tone demanding. “If you want my cock, take it.”

I flex my hips, pushing down, and he’s inside me with one slick slide.

“That’s it, stray. Now move and take my cock the way you want it. I want to watch you come.”

I lick my lips with every moan as I roll my hips, taking him deeper, moving my waist downward before pushing back up, his cock slipping in and out. He watches me intently and doesn’t move an inch, allowing me to control how he enters me, his palms flush on my thighs.

The pressure builds, starting with a trickle spreading from my toes, up my knees and thighs, his cock hitting all the right spots. With every stroke, I feel him more, the way his length smooths against my inner walls, the tip of his dick reaching deep. I want to take it slow. I want to make it last as long as possible, to linger in this state of bliss forever. But the need for release is too strong, my body wound up too tight.

“You want to come?”

“Yes.”
