from Pain to Pleasure (Gainesville Book 1)

by Jeanisse, Bella

  Danielle looked up at Alex and grinned. She felt he was an amazing player. “I agree.”

  Alex met her eyes. “Oh, you do, huh?”

  “Yes.” She giggled; her tension was finally gone. Then she poked his side but got no reaction. She hoped he was ticklish, too.

  He grabbed at her side. “How about I use my running skills to—”

  Danielle played along. She pulled away from him and ran toward the backyard. She wanted to have some fun. Just as she opened the screen door that led to the backyard, she looked behind her. Alex closed the distance fast.

  With a laugh, Alex chased her. He dodged the guests as if he was on the field. He gained on her fast as she sprinted across the lawn. She headed to the lake. Then he pounced on her and held her close, so she didn’t get hurt. They rolled a few feet, very close to the water’s edge, and then Alex put out an arm to stop their momentum.

  “Now what’re you going to do?” He was happy she had relaxed. With a smile, he slid his hands down to her sides, while he laid on top of her. His dick started to harden, but he wanted to continue what she started.

  Danielle squealed as Alex tickled her. She pushed on his shoulders and tried to get him to stop. He ignored her and moved his hands under her top, where he found her most sensitive spot. “Stop, or I’m gonna pee.” Her cheeks turned red with the words.

  Alex took her hands in his and gazed into her eyes. His stiff cock pressed against her pelvis perfectly. If she were an easy girl, he could just do her right there. To hide his excitement, he asked, “Is this better?”

  “Yeah,” she managed. His body felt so right. She wanted to let him have her, as a birthday gift. Well, she wanted him just as much, so it wouldn’t be a gift just for him. Then she shivered. The temperature was in the 70s, so she wasn’t sure why she suddenly felt cold again.

  Alex kissed her lips. They were cool and very dry to the touch. “You feel OK?” The mood was broken slightly with his worry. He had noticed her act strangely for a few days like a cold or something brewed.

  “I think so.” She gripped his hands a bit more. “Just kinda cold.”

  He exhaled loudly. “We’ll go back inside.” He stood and helped her to her feet. Then he reached into his pants and moved his erection to a more comfortable position. “You need a drink.” He looked into her eyes. They also showed signs of dehydration. “Come on.”

  Danielle followed Alex while he held her hand. She smiled when Alex handed her a sports drink in her favorite flavor. She had no idea he knew her preferences.

  Alex watched as she took a small sip. “Drink more.” He had touched her skin before he grabbed the bottle. Its reaction told him her body was very depleted. His oldest sister was a doctor. As a result, he knew a few things about dehydration.

  “Wait.” Danielle took a few breaths. She had gotten half the bottle down, but Alex told her to finish it. Within seconds, she felt strange. She looked up at Alex, just before she lost her balance.

  Alex grabbed her fast. “See. I’m right.” He lifted her up and placed her in a chair. “Please keep drinking. You’re gonna pass out if you don’t.”

  “I’m just a little light-headed. It’s no big deal.” Danielle tried to stand, but he pushed her shoulders down. “Alex, I’m fine.”

  He looked around. People stared at them. “Please. Just trust me on this one thing.”

  Then she felt guilty. She rarely trusted him. “OK.” She did as told and handed him the empty bottle. They stayed in that spot until she felt better.

  After the party, Alex walked Danielle to her door. Marie and Logan had already gone to the guys’ room. “Thanks for coming.” Alex smiled down at her. She had held his hand most of the night, and they kissed several times. “You made it so it so much better.”

  He leaned down and kissed her lips. His cock stiffened even more. He groaned as she pressed against him. Her hands slid down his back and over the back of his pants. He liked when she grabbed his butt and moaned when she pulled his hips closer. His dick jumped, desperate for relief.

  Danielle had felt the draw of his body all night. She had been horny for days and yearned to be in bed with him again. The atmosphere of the night encouraged her desire even more. Could we just have sex and nothing more? However, she needed him, not just sex. She needed to feel his body, his lips, hear his moans. She reached back, opened the door and pulled Alex inside the room.

  He cautiously followed, unsure what her plan was, or if she would follow-through with it. When she lay on her bed, he hesitated. “I’m not going to push you into sex again.”

  “I want you,” she whispered, no longer able to contain herself.

  Alex grinned widely and pulled his shirt off, and then looked down at his aching cock. He lay down on top of her. “I want you too, beautiful.” He ground his erection against the crotch of her jeans. “Fuck, I want you bad.”

  Danielle pulled his face down to hers and kissed him. She was not sure how to express the urgency she felt. Her body was on fire, every nerve ending tingled with need. Still, she was nervous. She had only initiated sex once, and she was in a towel then. How do I get undressed with him on top of me?

  “Get this off.” Alex pulled his hoodie and shirt off her at once. He didn’t want to waste any time. When she lifted her arms for him, he smiled. Then he opened her bra and yanked it off. “So beautiful,” he softly said before his tongue ran over her right nipple. He took her other breast in his hand. “I love you.” His lips met hers again briefly while he tried to remember she needed foreplay, unlike some of his former lovers.

  With a moan, Danielle’s back arched. Alex’s tongue could do amazing things to her breasts. Then she felt him tug at the button on her jeans. She looked up. His eyes showed his need, but there was also that sparkle. The look that told her she was special and he wanted no one else.

  He closed his eyes. The sounds she made drove him nuts. When he finally got her pants open, he slid a hand into her panties. He loved to touch her body, but when he gave her pleasure, it was so much more. He rubbed her clit slowly and didn’t get a reaction. Then he move downward and thrust two fingers into her.

  Danielle froze and pushed Alex back. “Don’t. Please.”

  “Don’t what?” He asked quietly in her ear. “I need to make love to you. Please.” He pushed his fingers far inside and curled the ends. “You’re not wet enough.”

  Fear rose. Danielle squirmed beneath him. “I hate when they do that.”

  A day several months before came to her. Brian had undressed her and laid her on a table, in full view of his friends. She lay there as she shook with her eyes closed as told. Then hands and mouths touched her. She jumped when a finger was inserted into her. Usually, she didn’t like when his friends did that, but whoever it was rubbed her G-spot several times and she came. Then Brian unleashed his wrath on her, right there on the table.

  “Who, Danielle?” Alex pulled his hand away when he felt her tremble. “Who does that to you?”

  She closed her eyes. “His friends.”

  “OK. I won’t do that now.” He lifted up and yanked her jeans and panties off. “I’ll do something else.” He smirked, and then bent her legs.

  Danielle’s eyes opened wide when she felt his lips around her clit. She moaned. No one had ever gone down on her before. Alex’s tongue moved down. She gasped, shocked by the sensation. It made her ache for release.

  Alex was glad she reacted better to oral. Her hips lifted slightly. He liked that. His hands went under her ass.

  She had no idea she could feel so amazing even before regular sex.

  His fingertips touched the pulsations within her. He found his prize. With practiced skill, he stroked her sweet spot repeatedly. Her body reacted fast. Her gasps came closer together. She gripped his hair, and then she cried out his name.

  While her body shook, he got to his knees and worked to get his pants off. He was rock-hard and painfully oversized. With desperation, he pulled out the condo
m he kept in his pocket for just that sort of moment and rolled it on. He lay down on her again.

  “Love…” He guided himself to her and pushed in until the head broke through. “Ah… you.” He moaned with relief, and then thrust in a bit more. “God, you’re amazing.”

  Danielle breathed deeply. Her body was relieved as well, but her emotions were erratic. She felt something deep within her that was unexplainable. He gave her a slow, deep stroke. She groaned, filled with pleasure. Her fingers wove into his hair, and her mouth opened wide. No way did she ever believe it was possible to feel so good.

  “Alex…” Danielle cried out while tears fell down her cheeks. Her heart felt like it overflowed. “You’re so…” She wasn’t sure what to say, just that she was overwhelmed as usual when they had sex.

  He glanced down. His smile faded quickly, and he held her close. “Don’t cry.” He kissed her cheeks. “I’m sorry.” He pulled out with a grimace but wished he didn’t have to. “I thought you wanted to.”

  Danielle blinked a few times, as she tried to shake the complicated feelings. “I do.” She shuddered. “It’s just… I don’t understand the way you make me feel.”

  He nuzzled her neck. “Don’t fight it. Please.” He sighed as he eased his cock back into her body. “Damn.” He kissed her lips, and then withdrew and pushed in slowly. “You make me feel just incredible.”

  His mouth covered hers again. They continued to kiss as he thrust slow and steady. The position was complicated in a way because she was so much shorter than he was. He continued because he wanted the night to last as long as possible. He was sure she would ask him to leave right after he came. The longer that took, the longer he could feel her beneath him.

  “Uh…” Danielle moaned when Alex straightened his body and moved his hips faster. She was shocked that it felt even better than the last time. She looked up. Alex’s chest was above her. She reached out and pulled his hair. “God, Alex!” Sex was so much better than she thought.

  He looked down and smiled. He bent his back again and kissed her lips. “Do you wanna try it another way?”

  “I don’t know.” She was not used to making decisions about sex.

  He pulled out and nuzzled her neck. “How about spooning? We can still get close, and I love holding you that way.” She nodded, and he got to his knees. “Turn on your side,” Alex directed. He got into position behind her and penetrated her quickly. With a sigh, he wrapped his arms around her. “I love you.”

  Danielle gripped his hands hard as he thrust in a fast rhythm. His lips were against her neck, and his moans were so sexy. She wished she could let him make love to her more often, but there were too many complications. She had pushed the thoughts away before they festered. Then she leaned her head back on his shoulder and gasped.

  “I love how you come.” He groaned in her ear as her body wriggled and pushed against his. She kept it up as her orgasm lasted. Then he moaned loudly as a reaction started. “No, damn it,” he whispered while he tried to delay it. He clung to her and cried out. “God—so amazing,” he softly said to her. An incredible feeling washed over him.

  She was shocked it ended so quickly, but she was glad they both came. He squeezed her tightly and kissed her neck, which prompted her to snuggle up to him even more. “Happy birthday.”

  “My favorite present.” Alex brushed his lips over her cheek.

  Danielle’s eyes opened wide. A pain in her side prompted her to pull away from Alex. “I gotta pee again.” She got off the bed and threw on pajamas as fast as she could. Then she ran from the room. The urgency grew.

  Alex sat up, confused, and said to himself, “At least she didn’t keep crying.” He pulled the condom off and tossed it before he settled down again. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep so Danielle couldn’t tell him to leave.

  Danielle looked at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. Something was different, but she couldn’t place what. Maybe it was the bags under her eyes from lack of sleep, or her skin. Maybe Alex is right. I need to drink more water.

  When she returned to her room, Alex was on his back. He snored softly. “Tired you out, huh?” It was a joke, but she was glad he would stay with her. She got in bed next to him, lay her head on his chest, and then put her arms around him. She missed his strong body.

  Alex had truly fallen asleep. Then he felt her shiver and partly woke up. “Hey. Come closer.” He wrapped her in a warm embrace and pulled the blanket up to her neck.

  Slowly, she relaxed while his body heat warmed her.

  * * *

  Sometime in the night, the ring of a phone jolted Danielle awake. She lifted her head, disoriented. It rang again, and the fog cleared slightly. She reached back to the night stand and grabbed her phone.

  “Hello?” she sleepily said into it.

  Alex shifted and pulled her down to him again. He didn’t know she was on the phone.

  “Guess I woke you,” Brian quietly replied. “I didn’t look at the time.” His other hand clenched and unclenched. “I didn’t see you online tonight.”

  Danielle yawned. “Yeah, my laptop has a virus. Logan’s fixing it.”

  “How did that happen?” he yelled, louder than he had meant to.

  Alex jumped at the voice. His eyes opened, but he only saw the top of Danielle’s head. Then he felt her phone on his chest. He shut his eyes. He didn’t want her to know he could hear them.

  Danielle hoped Alex didn’t wake up. “I don’t know. I’m sorry.” She tensed and tried not to shake.

  “Hey, I shouldn’t have shouted.” Brian felt a bit guilty. It wasn’t her fault most of his minions had abandoned him. “I know I put the best protection on that thing. Why does he think it’s a virus?”

  She blinked her eyes a few times and looked up at Alex. He seemed to be out like a light. “It got real slow, and things kept opening by themselves. He knows a lot about computers.”

  Alex forced himself not to react. That meant Brian knew he couldn’t see her anymore. He involuntarily grinned. If he knew Brian’s type, soon enough he would be frantic.

  Brian started to panic. That meant all his modifications could be revealed. He didn’t want her to know he had spied on her. If she knew how many times he started up her camera, she might be upset enough to try to leave him. He had caught both her and Marie as they undressed many times. More than once, he jerked off to it.

  “How long will it take?” Brian hoped his programs were still intact afterward.

  Danielle’s eyes closed, and she lay on Alex again. “I don’t… know…” She slowly drifted off.

  “Can you use Marie’s computer, so I can see you? I miss you.” He waited but only heard breathing sounds. He wanted to see who was in her room. “Dani… Dani…”

  She was startled awake. “Sorry.”

  “It’s OK. Get back to sleep, Dani. I’ll call tomorrow.”

  Chapter 18

  When it was light out, Danielle awoke with a soft groan. She felt awful. Her stomach gurgled, and then she felt nauseous. Quickly, she untangled herself from Alex and headed to the bathroom.

  “What the hell’s going on?” she whispered to her reflection.

  It was not the first morning she woke up feeling so shitty. She leaned on the sink and cleaned out her mouth. The taste of vomit remained. Besides her stomach, her body felt tense, and she had a headache as if the flu were coming on. A chill washed over her, and she hugged her body. She jogged back to her room and hoped Alex could warm her.

  She got back under the blanket and snuggled against Alex, who was still asleep. No matter how hard Brian tried, he was nothing compared to Alex. She wanted to tell him off and break her phone. However, just the thought of his wrath still stopped her in her tracks. Why me?

  Alex turned over and pulled her closer to him. He had felt her shiver again. She was cold a lot lately. Hope she’s not getting sick. Then she sniffled. Oh. She’s crying. He closed his eyes again and wished he could bury Brian, so that he wouldn’t hurt her
.

  “Gimme another minute,” Alex said when Danielle shook him awake sometime later.

  She smiled and turned her alarm off. As she slid out of bed, she noticed Marie’s was still empty. With a sigh, she tried to remember what class was first that day. Her memory had been sketchy lately as well. The schedule and calendar were on the wall.

  “History? How could I forget that?”

  Danielle looked over at Alex to be sure she didn’t wake him. He was on his side and hadn’t moved. She went to check her calendar and accidentally knocked it off the nail. Her clumsiness was unusual. She hung it back up. A circled date caught her eye.

  “What’s so special about October 17th?”

  She stared at the date for a while. Nothing came to mind. When she flipped back a month and saw another circled date, her mouth dropped. Her period was two weeks late. She was usually like clockwork.

  Then she thought about all the stress she had been under for the past few weeks. Between school, Alex, Brian, his friends, and therapy, she was busy and nervous most of the time. Stress affected a woman’s cycle. That had to be it.

  She checked the time. It was late. Alex had to get up. She knelt on the bed next to him and kissed his cheek. Then she ran a hand over his bicep. Her head still ached, but there was no time to worry about it.

  “Alex, time to get up,” she whispered. She kissed his lips, no reaction. She put her hand under the blanket and grabbed his butt. “We have school today.”

  He tugged her down on her side, faced away from him. “Gotta do something first.” He yanked her pajama pants down. Quickly, he shifted until the head of his stiff shaft slipped into her, and then pushed in hard.

  He groaned and thrust again. “I love morning sex!”

  Danielle grabbed his hand, startled. “We don’t have time!”
