Picking Up The Pieces: Book 1 of the Broken Series Page 15

by Sienna Grant


  On the drive to my house, there’s no conversation, but I think she’s nervous too. She’s watching out of the window. I grab her hand and pull it up to my lips and kiss the back of her hand, I see her bite her lip and give a tiny smile out of the corner of my eye, I give myself a pat on the back for putting her at ease and not be the twat that I have been in the past, I just hope dinner goes well, I’m not the greatest cook, but I can get by…I think?!

  “Are you ok baby?” She turns her head to my question, looks into my eyes, smiles and nods her head. “I’m good,” she says, and I sink into the deep colour of her eyes.

  I pull up outside my house and let her inside, I make sure she’s comfortable and go to let Max from the kitchen. He goes bounding towards her, and I have to tell him to calm down before he gets to her.

  “Would you like a drink, baby?” Lex nods her reply, Max lies down beside her and waits to fussed, I go into the kitchen to get the wine from the fridge and get myself a beer. When I enter the lounge, Max is on his back having his tummy rubbed. I shake my head at him, lucky bastard! I pass Lex her wine with a peck on the cheek, and I whisper in her ear,

  “If I’m a good boy, will you rub my tummy too?” She narrows her eyes at me.

  “Only if you’re a very good boy!” I wink at her and tell her to relax, and I go back into the kitchen.

  I’ve started to cook the steak and put the small potatoes and green beans and peas on the stove to start cooking. Before long they’re boiling and need to use the bathroom, I go to the bathroom and return back to the kitchen, I drink some of my beer and go back to the lounge to check on Lex.

  “How you doing, baby?” I ask, sitting down beside her, I pull her into me, cuddle her and kiss the top of her head.

  “I’m okay, I promise,” I cup her chin in my hand kiss her because it’s been all of twenty minutes since I’ve tasted her lips and the need to do it again is strong. She opens up to me so I can kiss her the way I want too when she pulls away from me.

  “Erm, Blake,” she looks towards the kitchen, I follow her line of sight and see the kitchen smoking, a smog kind of smoke…which comes from food burning…

  “Fuck it!” I jump up and run in the kitchen, I forgot about the steak in the griddle pan, it’s fucking black, ruined! I’m waving tea towel around to get rid of the smoke in the kitchen, I look at the potatoes and see there’s no water left,

  “Oh bollocks,” I shout.

  “Can I help?” I turn to see Lex standing there with a worried look on her face.

  “I’ve ruined dinner, I’m sorry.” I look at the floor, shake my head at myself, and I can hear her sniggering,

  “What are you laughing at Ms Williams?” I ask her smirking…she’s biting her lips to stop her laughing out loud, I grab her by the hips and pull her towards me, Lex is flush against me, she puts her hands on my chest, and gazes into my eyes, I see the flush in her cheeks rise,

  “Let me see the damage,” she answers breathlessly. She breaks away and goes to the cooker. I know she’s laughing, I can see the shake of her shoulders,

  “You’re still laughing,” I say to her as I walk up behind her and take hold of her hips again.

  “Blake, the steaks like a slab, it’s rock hard.” She laughs loudly now, and before long I’m laughing with her. “The potatoes are burnt…how do you burn potatoes?” I shake my head as she turns to look at me from over shoulder. She turns fully until she facing me,

  “Look, don’t worry, I’ll do it, you sit down, I do appreciate the effort, though, thank you.”

  “You’re not cooking, you’re my guest,”

  “I hope I’m more than your guest…”

  “You know you are,” I growl at her. I pull her close to me, run my hands down her back until they’re cupping her luscious arse. I lift her, so she wraps her legs around me, and I walk the few steps so I can place her on the counter, I pull her dress up to her knees and run my hands up her bare thighs, her breathing changes, her cheeks flush, I know that little tell already, but I won’t have our first time on a kitchen counter, no fucking way!

  I take my hands from her thighs and cup either side of her head and pull her down towards me. I kiss her, I pull away an inch, “Have I told you I love kissing you,” she nods her head, you’re beautiful that’s why and I want you, but not here. I don’t take it any further.

  “I’ll do us something to eat,” she pecks my lips and pulls away, “Move aside Mr Davids and let me work! Do you have pasta?” I nod my head and stare at her in awe, she jumps off the counter and starts rummaging through my cupboards, finds the pasta and a jar of tomato and herb pasta sauce which I always keep for quickness.

  She fills the saucepan with pasta, and I fetch the garlic bread from the freezer, I watch her arse sway beneath her dress as she brings her glass from the lounge and puts it down on the side. I refill her glass, get myself another beer and sit at the table. I watch how she works her way around like she’s always been there, the confident way that she holds herself but then, I also know how insecure she really is, but maybe she’s starting to lower her guard around me.

  I hope so, god I hope so!

  I glance up to see her staring at me, “What’re you thinking about?” she asks me as she’s worrying her lip with her teeth. I start to get up…

  “You stay where you are, I want to eat, I’m starving,” she raises her eyebrows and fixes me with a stern look and turns back to the cooker. Once she tested the pasta to see if it’s done, she strains the pasta, returns it back to the pan, adds the sauce, and puts the garlic bread in the oven.

  Fuck I could get used to this, having a gorgeous woman cooking for me!

  I take in the sight of Lex stood at the cooker, I can see a faint outline of her curves beneath her dress, and I can feel my dick straining against my zipper, I put my hand on dick before she notices and will it to go away. She takes the garlic bread out so I Iay the table, as I’m getting the cutlery, we make innocent little touches as we move around the kitchen at ease, she dishes up, and we sit down to eat.

  CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

  ALEXIA

  After the disaster with the steak, dinner turned out really well, it was only pasta, but the company was fantastic! We talked, we laughed together, he even held my hand across the table, and his attention never swayed from me once. I love how he listens to me, he lets me talk and doesn’t interrupt me or cut me off when I’m mid flow in rambling, unless it’s with a kiss and I don’t mind that.

  I’ve had such a good time tonight. We’re in the kitchen, cleaning up and Blake’s loading the dishwasher, once he’s done that, he takes my hand and leads me back to the lounge. He sits me next to him, and we cuddle up on the sofa.

  “Thanks for rescuing me in the kitchen,” he says while kissing the top of my head.

  “You’re welcome, I don’t mind I love cooking,” I say looking up at him. Blake leans down a little and kisses my lips lightly, he shuffles down so we’re nose to nose - he rubs my cheeks with his thumbs. Feeling the shape of my cheekbones, he then uses his thumb to rub across my lips, he pushes the tip just between my lips so I kiss it, very lightly, barely touching, I watch his eyes turn darker with desire, I want him so badly, my breathing increases and he takes my mouth with his lips and kisses me softly until his tongue his entering my mouth and I do the same back.

  Our tongues tangle. I can feel his erection digging into my leg, I push myself forward towards him, his hand travels to my breast, and he cups it over my dress, he massages my breast and kisses me deeper, his hand goes to my thigh and pushes my dress up so he can feel my bare thigh and rubs his hand up my thigh softly, I feel the barely there touches sending tingles through my whole body, I’m mess of hormones, wanting him but scared all at the same time, my hand rubs up his chest, my hand his shaking slightly, Blake stops kissing me.

  “You okay, princess?” I slightly nod my head, but he knows there’s something wrong. “Baby, tell me what’s wrong, please,” I look at him debating whether
I should tell him or not.

  Screw it!

  “I’m okay, I’m nervous, that’s all, it’s been a long time since…,” he puts his fingers on my lips and stops me,

  “Hey it’s fine, we don’t have to do anything, we’ll just take it slow, I promise,”

  “I want too, but what if you don’t like it or I’m not enough,” I whisper. He stands and pulls me to my feet, he kisses me deeply, until my legs turn to jelly. He lowers my hand and covers his erection and presses lightly,

  “Princess, can you feel that?” nodding, I tell him, yes. “Now, do you trust me?” I nod at him again as he pulls up my dress to my thighs and picks me up again. I wrap my legs around his waist, his hands go under my bum, and he runs his hands around the globes of my bum as he starts to walk, we head up the stairs, he doesn’t stop kissing me while keeping an eye out for where he’s going.

  We enter a bedroom, I don’t bother to look at the décor I’m too fixated on Blake, he lowers me down to the bed and lies me down on my back. He lowers himself on top of me and kisses me again. He kisses down my neck and down my chest licking as he reaches the rise of my breast. He’s pushing my dress up as he goes, his touches and caresses are killing me, and I’m a huge ball of want and desire, the butterflies in my tummy are dancing, and my legs are tingling.

  He pulls me up by my hands and lifts my dress over my head, his hands go around my back, his fingers making feather-like touches. He unsnaps my bra and takes it down my arms, and drops it with my dress on the floor. Blake takes off his t-shirt, lowers himself back towards me and resumes his tender caresses. My one breast in his hand - the other one into his mouth, and rubs his thumb over the other nipple until it’s hard enough to suck.

  He kisses and licks down my tummy and kneels on the floor. He drags his hands down my body and pulls my underwear down at the same time, he stops kissing to pull them off entirely, he starts licking up the juncture of my thighs where they meet my groin, “Ohhhhh God, Blake,” he looks up at me with hooded eyes and smiles and resumes licking down towards my pussy.

  BLAKE

  As soon as I heard her moan loudly I knew I’d got her just where I needed her. I lick around her clit and down to her opening, I thrust my tongue into her. She starts to thrash around under my touch, I ease off a little and return to her clit. I enter a finger into her and suck her clit into my mouth and bite lightly, her orgasm is starting to peak. I add another finger and carry on sucking until she’s moaning loudly and calling my name, I thrust my fingers in deep, I find her spot and rub until I’m swallowing her juices, she’s shouting my name, and it’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard.

  I ease her down lightly and place soft sweet kisses up her body. I look up to see her flush from her orgasm, her eyes glazed over and her lips red and full, she looks absolutely gorgeous, her hair is fanned out around her. “Move up the bed gorgeous,” she does as I ask her. “Are you okay,” I ask her gently.

  “Yeah,” she says as she’s nodding her head. She moves her hands to cover herself up.

  “Don’t. You’re beautiful, you just don’t realise how much, I love your body as it is.” I kneel up to undo my jeans and lean across to get a condom from the drawer, I take my jeans off and roll the condom onto my rock hard dick and crawl up the bed.

  “Are you ready, if not we can wait,” she looks at me and raises her ahead a little and kisses my lips.

  “I’m ready,” I nod and lower myself to her, I brace my weight on my forearms, I move the hair from her face and feel, her soft skin of her cheeks under my hands.

  “You’re it for me, I hope you know that. I know it’s only been a short time, but that’s how I feel, no one measures up to you,” she nods but frowns a little.

  I know she thinks I’m lying but she’ll realise I’m serious soon enough, I’ll prove it to her. I line myself up with her opening and bring her legs up as I enter her, I kiss her…deep, my tongue erotically tangles with hers, just as I thrust inside her, she’s gasping. I pull my lips away and grab her under the bum, I pull her towards me so I can go deeper, she digs her fingers into my biceps.

  I lower my head and take her lips with mine, “Baby, you’re so beautiful,” I kiss her, lick and bite her lips. She sucks my tongue into her mouth, I rub up her arms until I reach her hands and entwine our fingers, the tears slowly seep from her eyes and run down the sides of her face into her hair, I take one hand from hers and rub the tears away.

  “Baby don’t cry,” I say rubbing my hand over her hair and stroking her hair from her face.

  “I want you, Blake, so much!” At that request I raise her one thigh higher so I can get deeper and thrust harder until Lex is moaning and gasping, I can feel my orgasm cresting, and Lex is shaking beneath me,

  “Lex are you ready?” she nods her head furiously.

  “Yes Blake,” she tips her head back as I take her other hand again and kiss under her ear.

  “Cum for me baby,” as I say it she holds me tighter with legs, I kiss her as deep as I can, and I thrust hard until I release into her,

  “Oh my god Lex!” She’s breathing hard, her chest rising and falling furiously. I lie for a few seconds getting my breath back and pull out of her gently and move off her to the side, her eyes are closed, and she’s a picture of desire, I could get used to having her next to me all the time. She opens her eyes slowly and smiles at me, the way she looks at me makes me want to take her all over again.

  “Princess, that was incredible. Do you feel okay; I didn’t hurt you did I?”

  “Blake I feel great. I don’t think I’ve ever felt like that,” her eyes glaze over and I can see the unshed tears.

  “No more tears Princess, I hate seeing you cry, I feel so helpless. I’m here, I’m not letting you go, I’m here to stay, no matter what!” The tears now stream down her face, I can taste the salt from her tears as I kiss her. I pull away, take the condom off, knot it and throw it in the bin at the side of the bed and tell her I’ll be right back. I go to the bathroom and clean myself up, run a cloth under the warm tap and go back to clean up my angel lying in my bed.

  CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

  ALEXIA

  I wipe the tears away as much as I can, but they keep falling. It’s as if someone has opened the dam and the water just gushes out, that’s how my eyes feel right now. I bury my head into the pillow next to me, so Blake can’t hear me, he doesn’t like to see me cry, but this is a whole new emotion; I’m happy.

  These are happy tears. I hear Blake padding back into the room from the en-suite and gently rolls me on my back, he tenderly cleans me up and lies next to me. He pulls me into his side, and I lie with my cheek resting on his chest, I turn my face upwards so I can see him, he wipes the dampness from my cheeks and kisses my forehead.

  “I need to tell you something,” I tell Blake while I’m snuggling my face into his warm chest.

  “Yeah, Princess?!”

  “I don’t know whether I told you or not already, but I’m still married.” I turn my face in his chest to hide, I feel him stiffen as I say it, “I’m sorry, I should have told you before this,” he rolls me to my back so our chests are touching, kisses me and looks at me devotedly.

  “You told me when you were telling me your story the other night, I did assume but I didn’t want to upset you by asking you about it, before you were ready to tell me. You’ve had a rough time of it the last couple of days as it is,” I nod to let him know I understand.

  “You know when you bumped into me in the café?”

  “Hmm, mmm,”

  “I couldn’t stop thinking about you!” You were on my mind constantly for weeks.” I glance up at his handsome face, shocked. “Don’t look at me like that Lex, I saw you then, then I saw the bruises and I saw the sadness in your face and your eyes, I knew that smile was put on your face as a show, to let people see that you were okay, a front; but you weren’t.”

  He looks so sad, but I don’t say anything, I let him carry on. “When my ex Cara left me, I
vowed I’d never let another woman in, but then I found you.

  It was like the stars had aligned. I never believed in all that love at first sight bullshit, but you, God I think you were made for me.” I can feel my lip quivering, he lifts my chin and moves his face to mine. He kisses my lips, softly, tenderly, rubs my nose with his and smooths his fingers down the side of my face, he takes my hand and lifts it to his mouth and kisses my knuckles, one by one.

  “What happened with her? Cara, I mean.” He gazes down at me, “You don’t have to tell me,” I say to him giving him an out,

  “Yes, I do, after how strong you were to tell me about your marriage, I have to. We weren’t all that close really when I look back, she had her friends, I had mine.

  I thought it worked well with us and, I didn’t question it, she got a new job as a PA to a solicitor, she loved it, I was happy for her, at the time, Jack and I were just trying to get the business off the ground and I was onsite working all hours while it was light to get jobs finished. When my mum died, I was crushed, she was 50, it should never have happened, I drank, I stayed out, I didn’t give a shit, but I was heartbroken.

  Cara spent more time at the office than she did at home, we started arguing all the time. Jack kicked some sense into me and told me to sort my shit out with the help of my dad and Amelia, so I did. Once I was more myself, I started noticing just how much time she spent at the office and how much we argued, I’d met her boss Simon a couple of occasions, a bit of a sleaze I thought but Cara seemed to like him enough.

  I sorted myself out, bought a big bouquet of flowers and booked a table at an expensive restaurant; her favourite, and went to her office. She wasn’t at her desk so I went to her boss’s office instead. After no one answered, when I knocked the door, I let myself in.” I gasp because I know what’s coming…

  “There they were, fucking like rabbits on his desk,” he laughs. “I gave her 24 hours to get all her shit, told him he was welcome to her and walked from the office, I put the flowers on mum’s cremation plot and took my sister out for dinner before she left to go off travelling. I found out later that the first time she cheated on me, was just after my mum died and it took me 2 months to find out, that was nine months ago.”
