What Happens in Vegas: A BWWM Alpha Male Romance

by Stacey Mills

  “Have you been here before?”

  “No,” she replied setting her menu down in front of her in favor of looking at him. He was very handsome with sharp features; his green eyes were a striking hue that stood out against his white skin and light blonde hair. She began to feel a bit awkward when she felt him staring at her face, almost as if he were concentrating on something. “Sorry,” he said, “I just had not noticed your freckles before. They’re lovely.”

  She pressed her hand to her cheek and smiled. “Thank you,” she said. She had always loved her freckles and they were actually her favorite physical feature. They were just lightly speckled across her nose and tops of her cheeks, slightly darker stains on her rich skin tone. She glanced back down on her menu and settled on a pasta dish. Taking a sip of her water she looked back up at Nick and asked, “Have you always been like this?” He only stared at her blankly. She chuckled and said, “You have a way about you that commands attention. You have an effect on people.”

  “So I have an effect on you?”

  She looked down and nodded. “Yes,” she said very quietly. She was not insecure but it felt a bit odd to suddenly be talking to him so frankly. Just as direct as he had come off, he seemed to bring that same trait out in her. She was always honest but she was not used to people being so forward. The air between them was charged and she had a sudden urge to ignore the dinner. Would that be the wrong move? He reached across the table and placed his hand over hers, running little circles on her skin with the tips of his fingers. She smiled warmly at him before slipping her hand out from underneath his to grab her glass of water and take a drink. “I’m actually not very hungry,” she admitted.

  He nodded and stood up saying, “I will be right back.” He walked off to the host’s stand and she saw him talking to the young man for a couple minutes. When he returned he said, “Would you like to go somewhere else tonight?”

  “Do you have something in mind?”

  “Yes. Are you open to it being a surprise?”

  Shauna thought about his proposition for moment. She did not really know much at all about this man but she did feel extremely attracted to him. She wanted to say yes but did not want to make a rash decision. “You don’t have to if you’re not comfortable,” he said quietly. There was no offense in his voice. It was actually very understanding and she could tell from the look in his eyes he did not want to push her. There he was, exhibiting his ability to take control without pushing someone past any limits once again. She nodded and said, “Let’s go.”

  As they walked out, he informed her that she could follow him to the destination so as to not leave her car behind. Relief swept over her because, somehow, having her own transportation made her feel safer than she would otherwise. He warned her it would be something of a drive and asked if it was still okay. About an hour and a half later, they arrived at a dock of a lake on the outskirts of town. It was already dark out but the dock was well lit and there were a few couples strolling along or sitting on the benches, cuddling and admiring the view. When she got out of her car, he was already standing next to it waiting. “Right this way,” he said as he offered his arm. She took it and the two walked in silence along the dock, the cool night air settling around them and the murmurs of the scattered people reaching their ears. It was peaceful and beautiful with the reflection of the moon and the stars on the water. He led her onto a loading dock where there was a boat and he motioned for her to board it.

  “Really? This is yours?”

  He smiled and nodded. He withdrew his arm to take her hand and pull her onboard, turning to see the look on her face. She was stunned and had no idea what to say. This was nothing at all of what she had been expecting and he was the only person she knew who owned a boat. Though it was small, it seemed to be quite luxurious and comfortable. It had an indoor cabin, to which he led her into after switching on the light as they stepped inside. It was simply decorated but quite beautiful, everything seeming to be of very high quality. He motioned toward the couch for her to sit and asked, “Would you like a drink?” She nodded as she continued to look around and carefully observe her surroundings. She heard a loud pop and turned to see him pouring two glasses of champagne before walking over and taking a seat next to her on the couch. He was not shy; he sat right next to her, their legs and arms touching just enough to send an electrifying feeling through her body. He raised his glass and toasted, “To a wonderful evening.” She clinked her glass against his and took a small sip of the champagne, savoring the rich taste. It was the best champagne she had ever tasted.

  He continued to look at her and she felt his eyes roving over every inch of her face, that look of admiration obvious in his eyes once again. Feeling bold, she set her champagne glass down and cupped his face between her hands to pull him forward into a soft kiss. She shuddered slightly when she felt his cool glass touch her bare shoulder, causing him to chuckle. He took another drink before setting it down and pulled her into a kiss that he deepened almost immediately, his arms wrapping around her back to pull her body closer to his own. She gave in to the kiss completely, feeling as if she were melting right in his arms. He pulled back from it only to sweep her hair away from her face and look at her with that same look of admiration she continued to see but never got tired of. “There is something about you,” he said in a tone that sounded almost as if he were thinking out loud. He gave her a swift kiss on the lips and continued, “There is something special about you. That’s why I was drawn to you that night at the club. You shined. You stood out from everyone.”

  Shauna bit her lower lip and averted her gaze. She was not quite sure what to say in response to his statements. “Thank you” did not seem adequate or accurate. Instead of thinking what to say in return, she ran her hands through his hair and pulled him forward into another kiss. This one quickly turned much more passionate very quickly and she felt her skin grow warm as his hands ran up and down her arms. She felt one of his hands slide up her arm and settle on her shoulder, right at the base of her neck, while the other settled on her lower back. He began to kiss slowly down her jawline until he reached her neck, where he licked down to her collarbone before leaving a trail of kisses to her shoulder. Her breathing was starting to grow heavy and her head felt foggy from the warmth surrounding them now.

  He pulled back and gazed into her eyes as he asked, “Want to step outside? It’s a gorgeous view.” She nodded and they both stood, walking out with him in the lead. He turned on the boat, sending a shock through her body, and after a couple minutes eased it out onto the lake. They traveled for a few minutes and she enjoyed the cool night air whipping at her face along with the occasional splashes of water speckling her skin as she sat on the edge, looking out onto the lake and up at the sky. He then turned off the engine and took a seat behind Shauna, pulling her back against his chest and wrapping his arms around her. “It’s gorgeous, isn’t it?” She made a contented mmm sound and nodded, letting her head fall back onto his shoulder. This was not the typical first date by any means; completely setting aside that they were on a private boat. It was not typical because it was not awkward or tense. The two were very comfortable with each other, direct, and close. It would seem to an outside observer they were in a relationship already.

  She felt his lips press against her cheek and continue down to her ear and then her neck, where he began to suck softly until he kissed down to her collarbone. He pulled the strap of her dress off to the side to kiss her shoulder and a very soft, light moan escaped from her lips. She felt his hands move from her waist up to her chest where he started to massage her boobs. Her heart rate picked up and she felt bumps erupt all over her skin at his touch and continued kissing along her exposed skin. One of his hands moved from her chest down her stomach until it landed on her upper thigh, exposed from her dress hiking up. She felt like her body was on the verge of trembling slightly but she was not sure if it was only from excitement or what else it could be. She had never experienced this kind of
reaction to anybody touching her. He began to massage her thigh and slowly move has hand upward, further under the hem of her dress until she felt him just barely graze over her panties. It was then that she shuddered and he immediately withdrew his hand and rested it on her knee, extending and angling his neck so he could give her a passionate kiss. He broke the kiss only to turn her toward him, hooking his hand under her leg and pulling it over him. Understanding what he wanted, she pushed herself up and adjusted her body so she was straddling him. She could already feel a hard bulge under her, sending a jolt of excitement through her body as she moved forward and kissed him insistently.

  His hands wandered all over her back until he finally cupped her very large, round ass and squeezed. He groaned quietly into her mouth and squeezed again. He kept one hand on her ass, occasionally squeezing or massaging it, while his other hand traced up and down the curve of her wide hip and small waist. His hands then traveled up her back until he located the zipper of her dress and he slowly pulled it down, his fingertips grazing her skin ever so lightly. He stopped at the clasp of her bra and unhooked it before his fingertips caressed her skin down to her lower back. Grabbing her waist, he made a motion to stand up causing her to stand up as well. He gave her a deep kiss before turning her around and pulling her so her back was inches away from his body. He ran his hands back up to her shoulders and pushed the dress off her, his lips meeting her exposed shoulder blade as her dress fell to the floor along with her bra. He kissed her neck while one hand reached around to fondle her boobs, the other playfully roving over her tight stomach tickling right at the waistband of her panties. She rolled her body back against his with a small moan, her head rolling back to lean against his shoulder as he delivered a sudden pinch to her nipple.

  She gave a small yelp in surprise and pleasure as she raised one of her arms and let it fall back onto her forehead. Her hips began to move ever so slightly when she felt his hand slip slowly under the waistband of her panties, her body writhing up against his when she felt his fingers run along her wet slit. He rubbed her with an open palm to create more heat and succeeded in getting her wetter than she already was. He turned her around roughly and pushed her onto the bench, spreading her legs as he sunk down to one knee in front of her. He craned his neck to lick her nipples, nipping at each one before moving his lips slowly down to her stomach. He licked playfully around her belly button before leaving a trail of wet kisses down to her hipbone. Nick then hooked his index fingers onto the waistband of her panties and took them off, tossing them casually off to the side without caring where they landed. Kissing and licking along her hipbone, he slipped two fingers inside her causing her hips to lift up off the bench in response. She moaned and moved onto his fingers but he soon withdrew his fingers and stood up to lean over her and kiss her lips.

  He wrapped an arm around her waist and scooped up her legs with the other, picking her up off the bench and walking to the front of the boat to place her there on the floor. He knelt beside her and bent down to give her a kiss before asking, “Do you want to…?” She nodded and looked up at the stars as his footsteps faded away into the cabin of the boat. A couple minutes later, he returned but was now completely naked and had a condom on. She looked up at him, stretched her arms above her head and at the same time she opened her legs, inviting him to enter her. And there, under the starry sky and shining moonlight, on the deck of a boat floating on a peaceful lake, she felt his erection slip inside her in one swift motion for the first time. She arched her back and lifted her hips to meet his, their motion syncing up in no time at all. He held her tightly at her waist as he picked up the pace, leaning down to take her lips in a fiery kiss. She responded by wrapping one leg around him and drawing him in deeper with each thrust, sending both of them over the edge into orgasm quickly. Nick pulled out of her and rolled onto his back beside her, catching his breath while looking up at the beautiful night sky.

  Chapter 3: Something New

  After a couple minutes, he squeezed her hand and stood up to walk into the cabin. She quickly followed suit, wanting to get indoors and clean up. He offered her the shower first and she took it. As much as she wanted to enjoy the feeling of the water running down her skin and cooling it, she knew he was waiting to shower as well so she cleaned up quickly and stepped out. She toweled off before wrapping the towel around her body and stepping back out into the cabin of the boat where she saw a robe and a pair of slippers waiting for her on the couch. She slipped both of them on and walked over to the door, peering out and seeing him sitting on the bench and looking out onto the lake, still naked. He turned to her and smiled before getting up and walking into the cabin. He gave her a soft peck on the lips and said, “Make yourself comfortable. I’ll be out soon.” He closed the bathroom door behind him and she heard the shower turn on. She walked around the cabin and opened a door that led to a smaller bedroom where she dropped herself onto the bed. It was then that she noticed there was a skylight installed and she felt herself dozing off as she stared up at the night sky from the comfort of the bed.

  She woke up a few minutes later when she felt the bed sink with the weight of a person next to her. There was Nick, freshly showered and in his own robe, sitting at the corner of the bed and looking at her with an even deeper admiration than he had previously. He reached out and ran his hand through her hair saying, “That didn’t quite feel like a first date.” Shauna sat up on the bed next to him and let her head fall back so she could still look out of the skylight. She smiled serenely and said, “It didn’t feel like a first date at all.”

  “So what did it feel like?”

  “I don’t know. It felt like something that comes after a lot of dates. I don’t just mean the sex; I mean the connection between us. At least on my end, I felt connected to you from the start of the evening in a way that takes much longer usually.”

  Nick hummed in agreement and moved to be closer to her, his side pressed against hers as he drew his arm around her shoulders. “I told you, there’s something about you.” She turned to look at him and he took the opportunity to give her a soft but lingering kiss on the lips. He then pressed his lips to her cheek and lingered for a few seconds before whispering in her ear, “There is definitely something special about you. This is completely new to me.”

  She pulled back to look into his eyes and she could see he was speaking honestly. Whatever it was she felt that drew her in seemed to be having the same effect on him. They had some kind of instant chemistry between them that was often sought out by many but extremely difficult to come by. She smiled and asked, “Isn’t this a bit cheesy?” When he jerked his head back and laughed, she laughed too and gave him a peck on the cheek. “It is,” she went on to say, “Honestly, it is somewhat corny. It’s not realistic. It’s the kind of thing you might see in a movie and it’s real or hear from your friends but it was all a lie.”

  He pulled back and studied her face carefully before asking, “Are you really that skeptical?”

  “Can you blame me?”

  He drew in a breath and shook his head, pulling her close to him again. He moved his hand slowly up and down her upper arm. “I can’t,” he responded after some time. He did not press the issue but he did lean over to kiss her, his hand caressing her cheek and moving to run through her hair. “Time to take you home,” he said quietly as he stood up and began to get dressed before heading back out. She felt the engine rev up and the floor beneath her vibrate slightly and that is when she realized her clothes were still on the deck. She walked out and saw her dress and underwear stacked neatly on the edge of the bench they had been sitting at. Without looking over her shoulder at Nick, who was now getting ready to move, she crossed over to the bench and picked up her clothes before going back into the cabin. Once inside, she dropped onto the couch, clothes resting on her lap, and felt the boat begin to move. She was not quite sure what to make of all of this or what his reaction meant. Had he been turned off by her skepticism? He had not seemed like he was rush
ing to end the date but something did not sit well with her that he chose to end it after that conversation. “You’re just being paranoid,” she said to herself out loud.

  She stood up and changed there without bothering to move quickly. Once she was done, she folded the robe and took it into the bathroom where she placed it on the counter top. She looked in the mirror and freshened up, trying her hardest not to look like she had just slept with someone. She leaned forward with her palms against the counter and stared at her reflection, wondering how she had ended up sleeping with a man she barely knew. This was not something she typically did; in fact, she had never done something like this before. She had never slept with a man she was not in a relationship with. Yet now she found herself in the bathroom of a man whose last name she did not even know despite the fact he had already been inside her. How was it possible she could feel that connection they had talked about without knowing anything in reality? Attraction was a big motivator, she concluded. But it was the kind and intensity of the attraction that had truly reeled her in. She wanted to know more about him but did not want to push something that had no future. Always with the back and forth, she thought as a heavy sigh came out from her.
