Fucking Alexis wouldn’t exactly be a hardship. He’d been attracted to her from the moment he met her outside her apartment door. And he knew she was interested in him, too. Reid was trained to notice and interpret minor physical responses, and her pupils had dilated almost instantly when their eyes had met for the first time. Her unwillingness to meet his eyes after that told him she was aware of her reaction to him, and perhaps embarrassed by it.

How many times in the last few months had he fantasized about being with her, but let his job stop him? Moving hadn’t been an option. Living in that building had given him a discreet view of the harbor, and Juan Rodriguez’s warehouse. Something he would have needed if he wasn’t brought into Rodriguez’s confidence, and had to maintain once he was.

Maybe he’d wake up and find out this had all been a bad dream, but right now Reid was going to let the scene play out. He couldn’t help one more sweep of his tongue over her silk-covered mound before gently lowering her legs again. There would be time for eating pussy later.

He returned his lips to hers, and forced her mouth open until he was inside her warmth. She stabbed her tongue against his in an effort to push him out. Reid smiled inwardly. Fuck, all it did was drive him a little wild, turn his blood a little hotter. He slid his hands down to her ass and began to knead the soft half-moons.

“No…Mike!” she cried out, trying to twist away from him.

“Hush, Alexis.” Reid ran his tongue along her throat, down her chest to the swelling curves of her breasts. “I’m not going to hurt you.” He kissed the soft flesh spilling over her bra, then took the edge of the lace in his teeth and gently pulled it down until she was exposed. A taut nipple sprang free, staring him straight in the face. Sweet Jesus! It was the prettiest nipple he’d ever seen.

His fully aroused cock twitched hungrily, agreeing.

The need to bury himself inside her pussy was almost crippling. Reid couldn’t recall the last time a woman had turned him on so much, and so fast, and had to wonder if it was the situation. He recognized that the scene was straight out of a role-playing fantasy. Or a good porn flick. He had nothing against either, as long as the lady was on the same page.

“Please let me go.”

Her soft plea was hard to ignore, but he had to. “I can’t do that.” She gasped sharply when he tweaked her nipple, and then lapped at it as if it were a sweet treat before returning his mouth to her ear. “You know you want this too. You’ve been wondering what it would be like with me.” His teeth tugged at her ear, drawing a whimper out of her. He prayed she showed some common sense.

“I… What?”

Reid tore off the rag covering her eyes, and their gazes met—his brown to her blue. Her eyes widened and she blinked several times, probably to focus her gaze. “I don’t know what kind of game—”

He let his hands smooth down the backs of her thighs and said in a low tone, “This isn’t a game, Alexis. I promise I’ll explain as soon as I can. But for now, I need you to trust me.” If he couldn’t get his meaning across they were in trouble. Their gazes remained locked. Reid could almost see the wheels turning inside her head. She was weighing his words, making an obvious effort to understand him. “I want you to act like you’re afraid.”

“I am afraid,” she whispered, her pretty lips trembling.

“No, I mean like you were, before you knew it was me.”

“I don’t—”

Faced with the prospect of six months of hard work going down the drain, Reid decided to force the issue. He kissed Alexis roughly, caressing her exposed breast, and running his thumb over the taut crown. She stiffened and tried to pull away. Good. He knew Juan, in his sick, twisted mind, expected to see resistance, and action. Less talk. Reid tangled his fingers into her hair to hold her head still, forcing his tongue inside her mouth. She promptly bit down on his bottom lip.

Shit!Reid pulled away, fingering the wound. They were both breathing heavily, though for different reasons. The fear he expected to see in Alexis’ eyes was overshadowed by her growing anger, which only fueled his. “We only get one chance at this little show, baby.” He drew her nipple into his mouth and sucked it while touching her in places that kept his cock rock hard. “We better make it count.”

Reid could see the change come over her face the second he pulled away. He could see it in the sudden clarity of her eyes. Either she finally understood what he wanted of her or she was desperate, and grasping the only lifeline she’d been offered since her nightmare began that morning. He kissed his way along her jaw to her ear. “I’m going to fuck you, Alexis.” He whispered the words. "I'm going to sink my dick as deep as it will go and fill you with cum."

Shit. The image that created had him reaching down to give some relief to his aching cock.

She caught her breath. Reid brushed the hair behind her delicate ear, inhaling a subtle fragrance that teased his senses further into overdrive. Holding her gaze, he removed the knife he carried in his pocket. Her eyes widened with fear, but before she had a chance to react he reached up and cut the rope above her wrists. As she fell, he caught her against him. Then he gathered her into his arms and headed straight for the bed. He dumped her onto the thin mattress and stood above her, eating her up with his eyes. Giving her time to run her gaze over him to confirm for herself that he wasn’t kidding.

Reid damn near lost control when her frightened eyes reached his hard-on and lingered. His cock throbbed, and he damned himself for the raw lust coursing through his veins. Maybe he was a little more like Juan than he thought.

There was no disguising the fact that Alexis was scared. But there was something else in her eyes too, a kind of excitement, perhaps an acceptance of things to come. Maybe her instinct to survive had kicked in, and she figured she’d do whatever it took to stay alive. Even if it meant giving herself to a man she didn’t know other than a polite acknowledgement when they passed in the hallway.

Aware time was slipping by Reid pulled his t-shirt over his head and reached for the snap to his jeans. He hesitated only a second when her eyes flared, and then kicked off his shoes. Before long his jeans were joining his shirt on the floor. A whimper escaped her but nothing else. Reid couldn’t tell if it was a sound of fear or pleasure. He decided to leave his boxers on, lowering his body until he covered her. The second his raging cock came in proximity to her pussy it strained and pushed in a demand to be released.

A grunt escaped him before he could stop it, and Reid ground his hard flesh between Alexis’ thighs. She cried out and pushed against his shoulders. He slapped his mouth down on hers, easily forcing his chest down against her lush tits. When her hands came up, her long nails scraping the flesh at his sides, he took hold of her wrists and pinned them to the bed above her head.

“Easy, baby,” he breathed against her lips. His mouth skimmed down to her tits. Transferring both of her wrists to one hand, he brought the other one down to her bra, surprised at how easily he was able to unsnap the front hook. When her full globes broke free of the restraint, Reid nuzzled his face between them, drinking in the musky fragrance of her warm, silky flesh.

His dick punched forward, hard as fucking concrete.

“Please,” she gasped, arching into him.

Reid could only hope that her plea sounded like a protest from where Juan was standing on the other side of the mirror. He knew Alexis’ compliance wasn’t what the drug lord was looking for.

“Fight me, damn it!” he grated against her ear before giving it a not-so-gentle bite. Maybe he needed to get a little forceful with her to get the reaction Juan was expecting. He began to move his free hand over her curves roughly, exploring from her tits to her waist, hip and down her thigh, then sliding beneath her body to squeeze her ass.
