Rocking Away: A Heavy Metal Romance (Slava Pasha Book 3)

by Herrick, A. D.

  “Okay, Lex, you ever play five card stud?” Nik asked as he settled into his seat, shuffling the cards in his hand. Alexa looked up at Nik surprised by the nickname. I hid my smile behind my hand. I was glad to see that everyone was accepting her into the fold.

  Kiev hit the button on the remote and Awolnation’s Sail began to play in the background. Man, I loved this song. I would have to say it was one of my top favorites of all time.

  Katinka looked at me expectantly. She knew I was itching to belt the lyrics out but I forced myself not to. She began to sing softly, baiting me. I shot her a glare. I didn’t want Alexa to feel uncomfortable. Even if we weren’t in a band, I felt sure we would have always been the type of people that sang along to the radio.

  “Okay, what am I missing?” Alexa asked catching on to the silent argument that Katinka and I were having. I remained silent and picked up my cards that Nik dealt out.

  “He is trying to act ‘normal’. He doesn’t want to scare you off.” Katinka used air quotes around the word normal. Alexa reached out and squeezed my knee. “You won’t scare me off, babe.” She gave me a reassuring wink.

  “Woah come with me now…” Katinka began to belt out as the song changed. Evie joined in. Her accent cracked me up. She didn’t care if she sang well or if she knew the lyrics. That’s one of the things I loved about Evie. She was so unapologetic about who she was.

  Soon Alexa was singing along with them as we drank and played cards. It felt good. As soon as song someone liked would come on over the sound system they would start to sing. This was us, this was how we lived.

  “Oh you bastard,” Nik shouted and jumped up out of his seat. He flung his cards at Tosha. Tosha fell over onto the couch laughing. He had been palming cards all night fucking with Nik. Nik had finally caught on after six round of cards, all of which he lost to Tosha. The room echoed with laughter as Nik threw a fit.

  Nik snatched Tosha up and slung him over his shoulder and marched out the French doors that lead onto the patio. Before Tosha could get a grip on his laughter Nik had tossed him in the pool. Katinka ran up behind Nik and jumped on his back. The momentum and weight caused Nik to lose his balance and fall into the pool, Katinka along with him. Alexa covered her mouth with her hands in surprise.

  I wrapped a protective arm around her. “They will be fine.” Imagine Dragons’ Radioactive came over the speakers and Kiev turned the sound up and activated the patio speakers so that we could hear it. We had always discussed creating a harder version of the song. Kiev elbowed me, nudging me to sing along with him. I released Alexa and began to sing along with Kiev as we moshed to our own rendition.

  Before I knew what happened I was free falling into the pool. Ivan had bull rushed me and Kiev and swept us all into the pool with Tosha, Nik, and Katinka. I kicked off the bottom of the pool sputtering water out of my mouth. Alexa stood at the edge of the pool laughing. I shook the water out of my hair and swam up to the side of the pool toward her shooting her a smoldering look.

  Her cheeks were flush with merriment as she held out a hand to me to assist me out of the water. I couldn’t help what happened next. I reached out and grabbed her hand and pulled her into the pool with me. Her screams filled the night followed by laughter from those around us.

  “I can’t believe you did that.” She admonished once she popped to the surface. I wrapped my arms around her in a tight embrace impeding her departure of the pool. “I thought it was funny when someone landed in the pool.” I chided her goodheartedly.

  “It is funny when that person is you.” She giggled before pressing her lips to mine halting any comeback that threatened to escape my lips. When our lips finally parted I couldn’t help but imagine what she looked like out of her clothes. The way her wet clothing clung to her body. My cock was ramrod stiff.

  I offered a dry set of clothes and I was grateful when she accepted. Really I just wanted to get her in my room and get her naked. I didn’t care if we went any further. I just wanted the opportunity to admire the lush body that was pressed up against my own.

  Evie brought us all towels and set them on the edge of the pool by the stairs. She had been smart enough not to hang around the edge of the pool. Though I couldn’t lie. She and Nik had been acting rather peculiar. I had begun to wonder if they didn’t have a bun in the oven. I hadn’t noticed Evie drinking or engaging in any of our shenanigans in the past couple of weeks. She had never been one to shy away from a good drink nor a good time. I made a mental note to ask her later.

  I swam along Alexa to the edge of the pool where the towels were. Like a gentleman, I got out of the pool and got a towel ready for her. I took her hand and helped her out, swiftly wrapping a towel around her dripping wet body.

  “You are such a gentleman.” She cooed.

  “Oh no, that is not the title I would be using right now.” She flashed me a wicked smile.

  “Oh yeah? What term would you be using then?” her eyes sparkled with mischief.

  “Possibly possessive, jealous caveman.” I flashed her a panty-melting smile and wrapped my arm around her waist, ushering her into the house and up the stairs.

  “But what about cleaning up?” She asked as we were half way up the stairs. I loved that she was so considerate. It was one of the reasons I liked her so much. She always thought of others before herself.

  “It’s Ivan’s night to clean up,” I reassured her urging her further up the stairs. I was telling the truth, it had been Ivan’s night. But I knew the others would help him. That’s how we always were.

  “So you guys have a chore list of sorts?”

  My chest shook with laughter. “Yah we have a chore list, Katinka emails them every Monday and post them all over the kitchen.” Her brows bunched with confusion. “I didn’t see any.”

  “Ah, my sister is slick. They are posted inside the cabinet doors and inside the refrigerator. She knows that we can’t get away with any excuses when she placed them in places we couldn’t miss.”

  Alexa bit her bottom lip to stifle a laugh. “Any other list I should know about?”

  I felt now was as good of time as any to tell her about baby duties. “We have a list for my niece Karina. We all take turns with babysitting and night shifts. We each have a day of the week in which we are on baby duty so Katinka and Tosha can get their rest and so that we all have the opportunity to bond with her.”

  Alexa’s lower lip protruded and her eyes became moist. “Damon, that is so sweet of you all. I’m sure Katinka is grateful that you have all pitched in to help. I’m sure being a first-time mother is hard.” I swear my affections for her grew even more in that moment.

  “Katinka takes care of all of us and mother’s us. We couldn’t force her to take care of all of us and a new baby. That’s one thing about us. We always take care of one another.”

  Alexa released my hand and wrapped her arms around my neck. “that is so freakin’ sweet, Babe.” I walked her backward into my room and through the bathroom door. “You are freakin’ sweet, beautiful.” I kissed her plump lips. The sweet honey of her lips caused me to moan. Alexa’s tongue traced along the seam of my lips begging entrance of which I granted, deepening the kiss.

  My hands instinctively went around her waist and dropped to her ass. It felt absolutely amazing in the palm of my hands. I hadn’t realized I was an ass man until I had hers in the palm of my hands. I couldn’t get enough. I gripped her ass and pulled her closer into me.

  Alexa’s arms tightened around my neck and she arched her neck up allowing me better access to her mouth. My cock was rock hard pressed against her middle. The warmth between our bodies and the tightening of my balls pulled me back to the surface of reality.

  I gently retracted myself from her body giving her lips a final kiss. Alexa must have also resurfaced, she began to take notice of where we were and her lips formed a perfect ‘oh’ as realization dawned on her.

  I hooked my finger under her thumb. “Don’t worry, I am going to get you a chang
e of clothes and let you dry off. I will be on the other side of the door so you have the privacy you need. I reached over her head and grabbed a stack of towels off the shelf and handed them to her.

  “I’ll let you start with your hair while I grab you a change of clothes. Will boxers and a t-shirt be okay or would you like something else?”

  Her cheeks flushed and she ducked her head shyly. “That will be fine, thank you.” I turned to the bedroom to grab a change of clothes for her.

  Digging in my drawers I was able to find her a new pair of flannel boxers and an oversized t-shirt. When I turned to go back into the bathroom Alexa stood there in the nude. Her body on full display. She was absolutely breathtaking. Unsure of what to do I turned my head to the wall and cleared my throat.

  “I have those clothes for you.”

  “Damon?” I looked up to meet her eyes. She bit her bottom lip and gave me a come hither look crooking her finger beckoning me. My cock immediately jerked in my wet pants.

  “I… I… Um…”

  “Shut up and kiss me.” My mind refused to work but my body needed no further instruction. I ate up the space between up and took her into my arms my lips searching out hers.

  I felt her hands slide up my back dragging my shirt up. I took a small step back and helped her remove the offending clothing from my body, pulling it over my head and tossing it across the bathroom. The feel of her cool wet breast against me chest set off fireworks in my mind and caused my balls to tighten more as my cock begged to be released. Her nipples pebbled against my chest causing me to hiss with need. My hands dropped to her bare ass giving the firm lobs a squeeze.

  “You have an amazing ass,” I whispered across her lips. She moaned and bit my lower lip. “I have a large ass,”

  “As I said, you have an amazing ass,” I gave her ass a reassuring squeeze. I ran my nose along the length of her neck, nipped at her collarbone and began kissing my way back up her neck to her ear. I sucked her lobe into my mouth, releasing it with a plop. “Every inch of your body is amazing,” I whispered along the shell of her ear. My teeth grazing the delicate skin. I felt her chest heave as my hot breath caressed the sensitive skin.

  I felt her hands at the elastic of my track pants as she began to pull them down. “Are you sure?” my eyes met hers. The want and desire in them were nearly my undoing. She gave a small nod as her tongue darted out running across her full lips. I groaned.

  Covering her hands with mine I gave the final tug that sent my pants cascading to the floor. Stepping out of them I placed my hands on her hips and walked backward, guiding her to the bed. She followed willingly, her eyes never leaving mine. Her breath coming in short pants of want.

  When I felt the bed at the back of my legs I spun us around and gently pushed her back onto the bed, leaving her in a seated position. I dropped to my knees. My bed was the perfect height, bring us eye to eye. Her hands rested on my shoulders.

  I placed my hands on either of her knees and pushed them apart, sliding my body between them. Her hands dropped down to cover her stomach. “Nu-uh,” I grabbed her hands and brought them to the mattress on either side of her. “Keep your hands here. You are absolutely perfect.” I silenced any protest with my lips on hers. Her soft sigh encouraged me to deepen the kiss, her tongue caressing mine in perfect unison. She was an amazing kisser. I couldn’t wait to see what else she was good at.

  I could feel the precum pooling at the tip of my dick. I groaned into her mouth. Releasing her hands I caressed her milky thighs. My lips leaving hers as they made their way down her neck and chest. I took my time worshiping her body. As my lips made their way down my hands caressed her body until they met with her ample breast.

  She had the largest natural breast I had ever had the pleasure of fondling and tasting. I sucked the rosy peak of her nipple into my mouth and rolled it around my tongue. My eyes never leaving hers. Her small mouth fell open as she moaned, her breathing deepened. Her hip began to rock on the bed in slow thrust. I took my time with each of her breasts, paying them close attention. Her hands gripped my hair as she held on.

  Giving each breast a kiss I began to make my way lower. Her eyes grew wide with panic. “Shh…” I whispered along the soft skin of her stomach. I knew she was self-conscious. I had no idea why. She had an amazing body. I loved that she had some weight to her. She had the figure of a woman and that was more of a turn on than she could ever imagine.

  “Damon, I… I don’t know.” I froze at her belly button. “Do you want me to stop?” I looked up into her eyes. I could tell that she wanted me to continue, that she was enjoying this as much as I was but I could also see the lines of worry and confusion that marred her face. I raised up from my position and took her face between my palms. “We will go as far as you are comfortable with. If you want to stop now that will be okay too. I promise you are in control here.” She bit her lip and cast her eyes down. Her lip began to quiver.

  Immediately panic began to set in my chest. Had I read the signs wrong and pushed her too far? Was I taking advantage of her? I started to get up. I needed to put some distance between us. The last thing I wanted was to scare her or make her feel pressured.

  Her hands on my shoulder halted me. “Damon,” My name on her lips halted any movement. How I loved to hear my name on her lips.

  I looked up to meet her gaze. I watched as she tried to formulate the words. “Whatever it is, it’s okay.” I encouraged.

  “I’m a virgin.” Those words stopped my heart. I looked up at her in shock. Her eyes began to cloud with tears and that damn near destroyed me. I didn’t want to make her feel bad. I was just in shock. The last thing I wanted to do was pressure her into something she wasn’t ready for.

  Snapping out of my shock I immediately wrapped my arms around her, pulling her into an embrace. “It’s okay. We don’t have to do anything. If you want we can get dressed and put on a movie while we lay in bed or if you’re not comfortable with that we can go downstairs. Whatever you’re comfortable with.”

  Her arms wrapped around me and she laid her head on my shoulder. “You’re not mad at me?” her voice trembled. I yanked away from her and pulled her chin up forcing her to meet my eyes. “Of course not. I am glad you felt comfortable enough to tell me. You are in control here. You own me, balls and all.” I admitted. A weight I did not know I had been holding on to lifted off my chest at that omission.

  Alexa chuckled. “I own you huh?” I bit my lip and smiled. “Yeah, balls and all.”

  “Is this your way of getting me into bed?” She asked. Her brow arched with skepticism.

  “Not at all. It’s absolutely true with or without the possibility of you in my bed.”

  She threw her arms around me, squeezing me tightly. “Can we just lay here, like this, naked?”

  I shot up from her embrace and smiled like a kid on Christmas day. “You damn right we can.”

  “Netflix and chill?” I asked wagging my eyebrows.

  She laughed and swatted my shoulder. “Netflix and chill mean sex.”

  I blanched, “No it doesn’t.”

  She laughed and scooted back in the bed, her back against the headboard. “Yes, it does. Look it up.”

  I climbed over her body and sat beside her on the bed, tugging the blanket up from beneath us. “Well damn, I learn something new every day. How about Netflix and cuddle?’

  She laughed and snuggled into my side. “Sure,” I wrapped an arm around her. Reaching onto my nightstand for the remote control.

  Chapter Eleven

  I woke up to a warm body wrapped around me. It was a new feeling. I had never slept in the same bed with anyone. What was even scarier was that I didn’t remember even falling asleep. Alexa slept with her head on my shoulder, one arm flung over my shoulder and her leg over my waist. Her soft breath evenly blowing across my chest. I pulled her in closer, the smell of her fruity shampoo assaulting my nostrils. She moaned lightly in her sleep as she clung to me tighter.

  My bladde
r felt like it was going to explode but I couldn’t seem to pull myself away from her. I couldn’t remember ever sleeping so soundly. If this was what it was like to be in a serious relationship, count me in. I can’t believe I had spent all those years avoiding this. I knew deep down that it was the effect Alexa was having on me and it wouldn’t have felt this good with any other woman.

  Alexa shifted in her sleep, her knee placing more pressure on my bladder. I groaned inwardly in pain. As delicately as I could I tried to remove my body from hers. The loss of her warmth and weight of her body left me feeling cold and aching to get back beneath her. Alexa let out a groan of protest and turned over onto her side, pulling my pillow into her clutches. I smiled down at the site before me.

  She was a knockout when she was awake, always dressed to impress, her air perfectly sculpted and her makeup artfully done. But laying here in my bed, free of clothing, her face bare and her hair wild, she was, even more, attractive. I lingered beside the bed studying her features. I’m sure my actions were borderline creepy and weird but I couldn’t seem to pull myself away.

  I was finally able to pull myself away from the gorgeous siren before me and answer nature’s call. I knew I wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep so I opted to take a shower. The hot water felt so good along my skin. I threw my head back and let the heat absorb into my muscles. My hand trailed down my chest and gripped my cock.

  I thought about Alexa laying there naked in my bed. Her soft sexy curves, the way she moaned when I had her pert round nipple in my mouth. My mouth fell open as I tightened my grip on my cock. Her skin had tasted as sweet as honey on my tongue and had now become a taste I craved. Lost in my memories of the night before, I stroked myself faster. I could feel my balls draw up as my cock grew harder and lengthened.

  I braced my forearm against the hard cold tile of the shower wall and continued my assault on my member, my head thrown back, eyes closed. I startled as I felt a small warm hand circle around my hand on my cock. My eyes flew open to find Alexa standing there in the shower with me. Her hair a wild tangle of curves that caused my cock to jerk in our shared grip. She had her lower lip sucked into her mouth between her teeth. This woman was going to be the death of me.
