Dangerous In Love

by Alexa Davis

  I groaned at the sound of my morning alarm and rolled over to turn it off, but accidentally ended up knocking of off the nightstand. Crap.

  It took a great amount of effort to pull myself off the mattress and reach where it had fallen. Eventually, I found it and returned it back to the place that it had come from. The warm blankets beckoned me to remain in their soft embrace a moment longer, but I knew if I succumbed to their seductive wiles that I’d be late for work…again. My body lagged as I pulled myself off the mattress and stepped on the hardwood floor.

  Slowly, I padded across the room and grabbed a robe off the back of the door before walking out into the kitchen. As I was walking down the hall, I caught sight of Vanessa still sleeping as I glanced through her open doorway. For some reason, she liked to keep it open, and I hadn’t questioned her about it. I would have loved for her to join me in my own room for once, but it was still too early in our…relationship? I’m not sure. What exactly are we again?

  I shrugged, settling on the label “fuck-buddies,” and agreed it was too soon for that sort of intimacy.

  Her blonde hair was braided back across her shoulder as she splayed out across the entire mattress. If we had slept together, there would have been nowhere for me to sleep. I grinned at the thought of it, but chose not to rouse her because I knew her alarm would be going off any minute.

  Over that few weeks since she’d moved in, I learned that Vanessa was not a morning person and it was prudent to let her ease into the morning routine. Instead, I pulled out some bacon and eggs from the refrigerator and started making breakfast.

  Maybe the smell of bacon would make that transition a little easier, I hoped.

  As the strips of meat begin to fry on the skillet, it filled the air with a delicious smell that made my mouth water and sated the morning appetite. A few minutes later, I heard her alarm go off and Vanessa came stumbling out into the kitchen. “Good Morning,” she greeted sleepily.

  “Good Morning! I trust you slept well?”

  “I did,” she agreed with a little nod. “And then, I woke up to the smell of breakfast. That looks yummy.”

  Her messy braid was all askew and fell adorably across one of her shoulders. She blinked a few times and rubbed the sleep out from the corner of her eyes. I grinned at her and turned over a few strips of bacon, to keep the fat from getting burned. “I’m glad that you approve.”

  She smiled and drifted off to set the table with a plate and cup for both of us. “Do you want me to put on some coffee?”

  “Sure, that would be great. I’ve also got some orange juice in the fridge.”

  As she shuffled around the kitchen behind me getting things ready, I finished with the food and brought it over to the table. “Are you excited about work today? I think you mentioned Frank has you doing another photo shoot.”

  “Oh, yeah. It’s going to be great. I have to pick up the details when I get there, but it should be a nice addition to my portfolio.”

  I nodded encouragingly and added, “I wanted to apologize for being a little distant lately. I’ve been really bogged down with work. Hansen and I have this case that’s killing me, and it’s taking up a lot of my extra time.”

  “That’s okay; you just gotta prioritize. I understand.”

  She looked back at me from across the table, with her blonde hair all a mess and the cozy t-shirt. I wanted to take her right there and then. The way her plump and kissable lips wrapped around the edge of her mug… It was torture not to taste them.

  “Are you doing anything tonight?”

  She shook her head. “Not that I’m aware of.”

  “Good, because I’d like to make it up to you. We could do dinner…spend some time together. What do you think?”

  I couldn’t wait to rip off all her clothes and spend the rest of the evening worshipping her body. A week had been too long since I fully appreciated the carnal pleasures of this wanton goddess, and I wanted to connect with her again.

  Vanessa smiled around the edge of her coffee mug and said, “I think that sounds great.”

  Our eyes met from across the table, and I saw her pupils dilate slightly, implying that she must have understood my meaning. She must want it, too, every bit as much as I do, I realized.

  “Alright, tonight then.”

  “Tonight,” she agreed with a smile.

  Great, now I’m going to be thinking all day about the delicious ways in which I plan to ravish her.

  I finished eating quickly and returned to my bedroom to change. Minutes later, I emerged wearing the black suit and tie I always did. Vanessa was still sitting at the table, nibbling on her strip of bacon.

  “Later,” I waved goodbye to her with a grin.

  She smiled back at me and nodded while I was opening the door outside and walked out with my briefcase. I drove to work with my brain on autopilot, but I couldn’t stop thinking about her.

  This is going to be a very long day.

  I made it to work in record time and had barely stepped inside before Jon Hansen was knocking at my office. “Adam! Nice to see you here on time.”

  I chuckled nervously and nodded. “Yes, sorry about that, sir.”

  He waved it off and smiled, the skin around his eyes crinkling. “No worries, son. I just wanted to let you know Detective Messinger picked up Jeff over the weekend; they’ve got him in a holding cell over at county.”

  “That’s great! Have you had a chance to talk to him?”

  “No, unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it there till Friday. Would you like to come?”

  “Sure, that’d be very helpful. Thanks for thinking about me.”

  Mr. Hansen gave a full belly laugh and clapped me on the shoulder. “Your role here has been integral to the case! Of course, I thought about you. It’s good for you to get the practice, too.”

  “Thank you, sir. I really appreciate it.”

  I felt myself getting excited at the prospect of going to another interview and smiled happily. Jon nodded and tapped gently on the frame of the door before leaving back to his own office.

  This is great!

  When I was checking my email later, I had a message from my dad telling me that he and Sarah had both really enjoyed having dinner the other day and hoped we could do it again soon. As much as it pained me to admit it, Sarah was not that bad. We’d had a pleasant time together.

  I wrote him back and said that was a definite possibility, but to not get his hopes up about Vanessa. I knew what he was really after – probing to my social life. Poor Vanessa had no idea how insistent he could be, and that would ruin everything.

  Mmm… Vanessa, I smiled to myself thoughtfully. Maybe I shouldn’t get my hopes up about tonight.

  I knew that I was ready to go, but it was wrong to assume that Vanessa would feel the same. I’d have to wait until we both got home and see.

  The rest of work went by slowly, my mind being otherwise preoccupied. As soon as the clock hit five, I was packing up my things and ready to leave. While I was driving home, I thought about picking up some flowers, but that felt too much like a relationship, and I didn’t want to freak her out.

  I pulled into the parking space and up the steps to my apartment. When the door swung open, I was met by a scene that I did not expect. All the lights were off, and it was completely dark, except for the glow of the candles from the mantelpiece. Vanessa was standing against the back of the couch wearing nothing but a black lace teddy and a shit-eating grin on her face.

  Sheer black fabric billowed out around her body. Underneath her bust was a black silk ribbon that tied a bow. The fabric shaped around her breasts and figure perfectly and I felt an immediate growth in the front of my pants.

  “Holy shit. ”

  Apparently, she is on the same page.

  She smiled at me coyly, sauntering forward with a seductive smile on her lips. My erection pressed painfully against the zipper of my jeans. “Welcome home,” she whispered.

  Her hands gently reache
d up and wrapped themselves around my torso before she kissed me. It started off gently and then she swirled her tongue around the edge of my bottom lip. I could help but groan approvingly.

  I kicked the door shut behind me and set my bag down on the ground before pressing her body up against me. Vanessa smiled at my enthusiasm and began taking off my clothes, first by removing my coat and then loosening the knot of my tie. I wove my fingers in her hair and placed my hand at the back of her neck while kissing her. She merely redoubled her efforts and started unbuttoning my shirt. Kicking off both shoes, I deepened the kiss more fully

  As I was taking off my shirt, I had to pull away and look at her again. The messy blonde hair was all tousled and wavy as it cascaded down her shoulders and perfect skin. “Vanessa, you look incredible.”

  “I wanted to surprise you,” she told me.

  My hands roamed across the curves of her bust and waist as we started backing toward the hall, leaving a trail of my clothes behind us. Her breathing was hard and erratic by the time we made it there. As her hands caressed the top of my pants, Vanessa sighed with longing.

  “What is it?” I asked her quietly.

  She chuckled. “You’ve just never taken me in your bedroom before.”

  I smiled against her lips as she clung to me with her naked body. “Well, then I guess there is a first time for everything. Come with me.”

  Chapter 20

  Vanessa

  Monday

  I smiled as he took me by the hand and led me back into the bedroom. My heart was pounding in my chest as we left the candle-lit atmosphere of the living room and back down the hall.

  When we made it to the doorway, Adam slid his one of his hands around my waist and the other at the back of my head to kiss me deeply. His lips and sweet caresses brought a sigh from within my chest when they broke from mine and trailed a line of kisses down my neck. Every nerve was alight with anticipation. My heart rate accelerated, and I felt my cheeks flush.

  As he kissed me on the lips, Adam’s hands roamed across the fabric of my garment, tugging lightly on the straps across my shoulder. The look in his eyes was almost feral, the primal hunger blaring fiercely when he gazed back at me. “Vanessa, what are you doing to me?” he breathed out huskily.

  I chuckled softly as I was pulling him closer and said, “Well, I thought the sex would be quite obvious.”

  He laughed, roaming his hands beneath the delicate rim of fabric on my lingerie. I smiled at the way his fingers touched my skin and sent a thrill of pleasure through my body. Our heavy breathing and elated sighs were the only sounds I could hear as we slowly shifted toward the bedside. Adam pressed against me, and I gasped, feeling his erection through the fabric of his pants. Unconsciously, I rocked my hips against the throbbing manhood, and my mouth began to water.

  As I leaned back against the edge of the mattress, Adam lowered himself on top of me so that he was kissing the tender flesh along my cleavage. He gripped the curve of fabric around my breasts while kneading softly and bringing the kisses lower and deeper in between. The swirling of his tongue caused me to gasp and reach back for the pillow on his mattress, unable to think about anything except my own desire and the need for him to be inside me.

  I squirmed beneath him and grasped at the fabric on the mattress to support myself. When his lips came to the silk bow holding my garment together, he glanced up at me and smiled before tugging at the end of the ribbon and letting the entire thing come undone.

  The fabric fell apart on either side, revealing the naked flesh below, and Adam hissed out approvingly. “Mmm… Vanessa,” he moaned out gratefully.

  Biting my lip, I looked up at him seductively with a come-hither smile that I hoped he found appealing. Gently, he brushed his thumb across the pink nub of my nipple, and I gasped with pleasure. “Adam!”

  I felt the length of him pressed against me as his lips came crashing down on top of me. Our hands were frantic as we removed the rest of our undergarments, and he reached down to position himself at the heat of my entrance.

  I had been wet for him ever since he walked in through the doorway and knew that I’d be having him the rush of blood had juices practically dripping down my thighs. I knew he felt it, too, because he touched me for a moment, stroking my inner lips so they would open for him like a blooming flower. As he sensed my longing, Adam moaned and kissed me harder on the mouth, completely aroused and wanting this every bit as much as I did.

  Our lips never left each other for a second as we tore the fabric from our bodies and tossed them on the floor, we could get enough of tasting the other.

  I was ready for him: so ready. I had been wanting this for days now.

  The way he touched me was with such devotion that I couldn’t help becoming addicted to it. I bucked my hips against him longingly and slid my hand up along his waist.

  His tongue was halfway down my throat, tangled in a war with mine when I felt him thrust inside me. My eyes flew open it shock and delight at the wave of pleasure broke the kiss immediately. “Oh, God!”

  A moment later, he started moving, and I gasped again, rolling my hips against him to keep time with the rhythm and friction of our lovemaking. It sent shivers down my spine and bursts of unexpected tingles when he raised me higher and hit the sensitive cluster of nerves. With Adam standing and my legs hanging off the edge of the bed, he was able to penetrate deeper than before and bring a whole new sensation to my body.

  His hands wandered up to my waist and thighs while he met my body with equal thrusts. We moved together, and I felt my breathing become labored. Beads of sweat were appearing on his forehead when he abruptly stopped the movement and came down to whisper in my ear, “Turn over.”

  The way he said it sent a thrill of anticipation through my body as he removed himself from inside me and I rolled over on my stomach. I slid off the remaining piece of fabric off my shoulders and threw it on the floor. Now we were both standing on the edge of the bed, with my chest leaning up against the mattress and my rear exposed.

  My heart was pounding wildly because we’d ever done it like this before. As the blonde tresses swept down in front of me, they tickled my collarbone.

  “I’m not really into anything nonconventional,” I warned him nervously.

  I could see him nod out of the corner of my eyes as the warmth of his body came pressing up against my backside. I was more or less pinned to the mattress in front of him, but I felt completely safe. “Don’t worry; I wasn’t going to try anything like that. It’s just a new position.”

  When he finished explaining, I could feel myself relax. Gently, he brushed my hair to the side of my neck and placed his hand on the small of my back. “God, your skin is so soft,” he murmured quietly.

  I smiled against the bedsheet and looked back at him over my shoulder.

  “Are you ready?”

  I nodded slightly and felt his hands prodding gently at my entrance. When I felt him press inside me, I licked my lips with nervous anticipation and closed my eyes until he filled me up completely. “Augh!”

  “Are you okay?” he asked me in alarm.

  “Yeah, it’s good! Oh, God… Adam, please…”

  He waited to make sure I was okay and then started moving back and forth. I reached forward and grasped the fabric on the mattress, feeling the pressure inside me rising. It was too good.

  Adam cried my name as he continued, running his hands along my hips. “Vanessa! Ugh, you drive me crazy. I’ve been wanting you so bad.”

  I panted breathlessly and arched my back so that my hips would meet him eagerly. “Ahhh! I wanted you, too.”

  He groaned with pleasure once again and dipper dower to kiss me on the shoulder. I could feel his passion rising as the tempo changed—fast and more manic than before. It released my own inhibitions, and I smiled at the feel of him losing himself inside me. Moving together, I quickly felt my pressure rising and bring me closer to the building orgasm. All at once, he found a particularly good rhythm t
hat struck a chord, and I screamed out my own release. “AUGHHH! Adam, I’m cumming!”

  The sound of my passionate cry took him over the edge as well, and he arched his back against me. Our bodies were both spent and covered with sweat by the time we climbed onto the mattress. Adam and I both collapsed and lay there heaving for a moment while we gasped to catch our breath. “That was incredible!” I told him through ragged panting.

  He smiled rolling over to spank me lightly on the butt. “You started it with that delicious outfit of yours!”

  I laughed, glancing down at the lacy fabric of my nightie and the sheer black gauze attached to ribbons around the edges. “Glad to know that it has served its intended purpose.”

  His hand slid down the length of my thigh and kissed me tenderly on the lips. I closed my eyes and sighed at the gentle touch of his nimble hands and fingers. When he pulled away from me, Adam smiled and dipped again to kiss behind my ear and trailed a line of them up my jawline. “Mmm… ” he sighed. “I wish we could stay here like this all night, but I’m getting hungry. Do you want anything?”

  “Yeah, I’m starved.”

  “Okay, I’ll bring you a glass of water and start making something.”

  I smiled at him and nodded,” Okay!”

  Adam leaned forward and kissed me briefly on the lips before climbing out of bed and pulling on a pair of pajama pants. I pulled the sheets up to cover my nakedness and watched him leave, but I couldn’t stop smiling.

  Get a grip, Vanessa!

  I felt so completely free and blissfully happy whenever we were together. I wanted to feel like that all the time. My heart skipped a beat at the thought of it, and I ran my fingers through my hair. What does that mean? Am I falling for him?

  A minute later, Adam came walking back into the room with two glasses of water and sat beside me on the bed. “Here you go,” he offered pleasantly.

  “Thank you.”

  “I got out a frozen pizza; I hope that’s okay with you. I didn’t really feel like cooking.”

  I smiled, taking a sip of the ice water. “Pizza sounds great.”
