NO SECRETS NO LIES (SIN CITY HEAT SERIES Book 3)

by K, S

  Amir and Alexis exchanged a look of amusement. "I bought a bottle of your favorite wine on the way home. It’s chilling in the refrigerator now. After the movie, I thought maybe we could have a couple of glasses and just relax with some adult conversation.”

  He said it innocently enough, but Alexis thought she heard a promise of more than just adult conversation in that last sentence. Having no intention of staying after the credits rolled, Alexis only answered, “We’ll see.”

  “Okay.” He nodded to Michael. "We're ready. You can start the movie now."

  Michael picked up the remote but paused when he saw Alexis going over to a chair by the sofa.

  “Mom, sit over here.” Michael patted the spot on the other side of him which would put him in the middle of her and Amir. Amir took his place and stretched his arm along the back of the couch. Alexis ignored Amir’s knowing grin and sat beside Michael.

  Once the movie began, Alexis started to relax a little bit . She could sense Amir staring at her over Michael’s head, but kept her attention glued to the TV screen. All of a sudden, she felt the lightest of touches along the back of her neck. Amir slid his hand underneath her hair and made soft circles on her nape. Alexis bit her lip and closed her eyes. She knew she should move away, but it felt so good. Knowing he couldn’t go any further with Michael sitting right there, Alexis didn’t see the harm in enjoying his touch for a few minutes.

  She bent her neck slightly forward to give him better access. He continued the light teasing before his long fingers slowly slid around and dipped beneath the front of her tank top. When he touched the slope of her breast, Alexis had to stifle a moan as sparks of pleasure shot through her body.

  She looked over at Amir and narrowed her eyes as he gave her a look full of innocence. Yeah right. Alexis hopped up from the couch as if it were on fire and stood on unsteady legs.

  “I‘m going to get some water,” she threw out over her shoulder in a husky voice.

  Once in the kitchen, Alexis opened the refrigerator door and just stood there, blindly staring at the contents. The cool air felt good against her flushed skin. She closed her eyes and took several deep breaths to try and slow her speeding pulse.

  "What is wrong with you??’ she muttered to herself. ‘You act like the twenty year old virgin you were when you first met him."

  "Maybe you need to stop thinking so much and go with your feelings."

  Alexis jumped when she heard Amir's soft voice a mere whisper behind her. He placed a hand on the door of the fridge, and the other on the front of it, effectively blocking her in. Alexis tried to move away, but one hand quickly wrapped itself around her waist keeping her in place. At the same time, it pulled her squarely back against his body.

  “What are you doing? Stop.” She meant to say the words as a firm warning, but they came out more like an invitation.

  Amir let the hardness in his pants answer the question as he did a slow grind against her soft backside. He reached up and lifted her hair from her neck so that his lips could continue the teasing his fingers started earlier. He licked her skin lightly, and as before she tilted her head to aid his seeking lips. Unable to control her body, Alexis circled her butt onto his groin until they were engaging in a lazy, erotic, rhythm.

  “M-M-Michael…..” she managed to get out, trying to remind them both of their son.

  “Asleep.” Amir breathed the word against the side of her neck as he continued to nip and suck her soft skin. He chuckled when Alexis reached behind her and placed her hand on the back of his head.

  “That's your spot, isn't it? Or at least one of them...”

  Alexis' lashes fluttered open. “Y-Yes. How did you...mmmm...” She bit back the rest of the moan as his mouth accurately hit just the right area in the curvature of her neck. Oh God! If he stopped now, she knew she'd die right here and now.

  “How did I know? I remember every single spot on your body that made you purr, baby.” Amir lost count of the number of times he had woken up with a hard-on because he'd been dreaming of the night he and Alexis had sex.

  The hand splayed over her stomach inched down and pushed the helm of her tank top up until he touched her bare skin. His fingers travelled up and quickly unhooked the front clasp of her bra. His other hand joined in so that he cupped both breasts and squeezed them like ripe fruit.

  "Amir...”

  The combination of his mouth working in conjunction with his hands was driving Alexis crazy. She knew she would have love marks tomorrow by the way he sucked and bit at her skin but it felt so good. His mouth opened wide and French kissed her neck to take the sting away. Alexis' pussy flooded from arousal when Amir squeezed and kneaded her breasts like a baker preparing his dough. His lightly calloused thumbs rubbed back and forth over her sensitive nipples. She wanted him so bad. Even after all this time, she'd never forgotten how thick and delicious he'd felt moving inside of her and awakening her innocence.

  Amir unsnapped her skirt then pulled the zipper down to allow his hand to plunge inside her panties. He lightly rubbed the soft hair covering her mound, only letting his fingertips graze the very top of her southern lips before pulling away teasingly.

  “Amirrr…please,” Alexis whined.

  Amir licked the delicate rim of her ear before capturing it gently between his teeth. "Are you sure?" he whispered, slipping the tip of his tongue inside.

  “Touch me." When he kept teasing her by just caressing one finger along the outside of her moist outer lips, Alexis moaned in frustration. “Like this..."

  She placed her hand over his and pushed his fingers between her legs until he got to the silky wetness of her opening. They both let out a long, low growl. Needing no further urging, Amir took over and slipped his middle finger deep inside of her.

  “Damn. You feel so good, Lexie.”

  When he circled her swollen clit, Alexis clamped her thighs together and moved against his hand. She was so aroused. She hadn’t been this excited since...since the last time he got her there.

  “I’m gonna cum...” Her choice was breathless and full off anticipation. She'd been wanting this for weeks.

  “Not yet...” Amir pulled his finger out and used her cream to trace her outer lips again. “You know what I’ve been wondering...?”

  Alexis shook her head wildly from side to side. She was right on the edge and couldn’t take much more of this.

  “I’ve been wondering if you still taste as good as I remember.” He plunged his finger inside of her hot canal again and withdrew it covered in her juices. He held Alexis' gaze as he deliberately brought it to his mouth and sucked every drop of her essence clean.

  “Mmmmm…damn. Even better.” Watching him take such obvious pleasure from the taste of her flavor turned Alexis on so much. She leaned her head back against his shoulder and allowed him to give her a long, wet kiss.

  Still standing with the refrigerator door open, Amir's mouth never left hers as he opened the freezer side and reached into the top to get a cube of ice from the ice basket. Alexis swiftly inhaled when he brought the ice to her stomach. Amir slid it over her warm skin then continued the wet trail downwards until he got to the lacy waistband of her panties. His teeth gently bit her earlobe as he dipped his hand beneath her underwear and pushed the ice cube inside her pussy. With her body temperature already close to the boiling point, the heat from her core immediately started to melt the ice and caused thin lines of water to slowly trickle down her inner thigh. Alexis writhed against him, silently begging for what she needed.

  Amir heard and understood. With his other hand, he massaged her clit with lazy, deliberate caresses. Alexis was at his mercy. At that exact moment, Amir owned her body and soul. The sensation of the cold ice inside of her center, combined with Amir's fingers which were moving rapidly over her pleasure button quickly brought her to a hard, body jerking orgasm.

  “Awwww….mmmm...”

  “You are so fucking sexy, you know that….” Amir whispered in her ear as she rode the
crest of the climax like a surfer catching that perfect wave. Aleesha descended from her high and leaned weakly back against Amir’s chest. Her breasts heaved up and down as she tried to catch her breath.

  Amir stood behind her and held her trembling body tight as he soothingly kissed her cheek and neck and shoulder. “It’s okay, baby.”

  Seconds later, a sleepy voice called to them from the family room. “Dad...? Mom...?”

  Alexis' eyes popped open. Shit! How had forgotten that her child was in the next room! As she quickly straightened her clothes, Amir turned her around and kissed her on the lips.

  “I’m going to put him to bed. Then I’ll be right back.” His look told her he planned to finish what they’d started, and then some.

  Alexis nodded and watched him walk out. She put her hands on each side of her hot face as she tried to come out of the lethargic state her orgasm had left her in.

  “I can’t do this. I have to get out of here.”

  Alexis hurried to the family room. She peeked in first, and when she saw Amir wasn’t there, snatched up her purse then ran out the door. She didn’t begin to breathe until she was in the car and had pulled out of the driveway.

  Amir was on his way back to the kitchen when he heard her car start up. By the time he got to the front door, he saw her taillights heading down the street. He stood in the open doorway, fighting to calm down. Closing the door with more force than was necessary, he felt a sense of déjà vu as if history was repeating itself: ten years ago, she had run out on him the same way.

  But that’s where the similarities were going to end. This time, he knew where to find her.

  Chapter 13

  Alexis let out a relieved sigh when she walked through her front door and closed and locked it behind her. She went up to her bedroom and sat down on the bed to wait for Amir's angry phone call but it never came. She wouldn’t allow herself to admit that she was more than a little disappointed. She didn’t even want to imagine what thoughts had gone through his head when he came back downstairs and discovered her gone.

  Coward. Her mind supplied the word he probably used because that's what she felt like. But she couldn’t and wouldn’t allow herself to fall for Amir again. She knew if she slept with him, it would be over.

  Hours later while still lying awake, Alexis tried to use that thought to quiet her throbbing body that was still screaming for Amir's touch. Unfortunately, her body had a mind of its own as it continued to cry out its need for the rest of the night.

  The next morning, Amir fixed breakfast for himself and Michael. He hadn’t been able to sleep a wink. Finally he’d gotten up and taken a cold shower in the middle of the night, trying to get his dick to calm down.

  Amir hadn’t had sex since he found out Alexis had moved to town. He had no desire for any other woman, which was a rarity. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d gone this long without getting some, but even now, the only woman he wanted was Alexis.

  Well, he hoped she enjoyed her little reprieve because by the time he finished with her tonight, escaping would be the last thing on her mind. Michael was invited to a birthday party followed by a sleepover. Amir was going to drop him off at the theater later on today to meet up with the other kids to catch a movie. After that, he Alexis Duvall would be having a sleepover of their own - but very little sleeping would be taking place.

  By the time he and Michael got the day started and ran some errands, the hours flew by. Once they made it back home, it was time for him to get ready for his party. Amir was locking up when Michael suddenly remembered he forgot his video game at his Mom's house.

  “Dad, please. You have to take me to get it. I’m the only one in my class who has it and I promised everybody I would bring it tonight.”

  Amir looked down at his son. “Michael, you can’t tell me there aren’t other video games.”

  “No, I need this one. We can go online and play other people and everything. Please Dad.” When Amir still hesitated, looking at his watch, Michael added, “It sure would make it a lot easier if we all lived in one house.”

  Amir tilted his head and narrowed his eyes. This wasn’t the first time his son had said something like that. “Michael –”

  “Just joking, Dad. Can we go now?”

  Amir sighed. “Fine. But we need to hurry if we’re going to make it on time.”

  Michael smiled and ran to the car.

  Alexis looked at the clock and frowned. Michael was supposed to call her before he left to go to the movies. It was almost three o’clock now; the party started in thirty minutes. She had just picked up the phone to call them when the front door opened.

  “Mom….”

  “Michael?” Alexis hurried to the foyer in time to see Michael tearing upstairs to his room. Amir stood patiently waiting with his hands in his pockets.

  "I forgot my game," he called down, never breaking stride.

  Alexis looked up after him for a moment shaking her head before awareness of Amir suddenly hit her. Unable to put off acknowledging his presence, she turned around, nervously twisting her hands in front of her.

  “Hello.”

  “Hi Alexis. Sorry about this, but he insisted he needed this particular game or the world was going to come to an end." When Amir chuckled in amusement, Alexis stared at him in surprise. She hadn’t expected him to be so...pleasant.

  “Oh…um… okay. No problem.” Feeling as if she should explain her actions last night, Alexis cleared her throat. “Amir…”

  Before she could continue, Amir looked at his watch then called out to Michael, interrupting whatever Alexis was going to say.

  “Mike...let’s go buddy. You don’t want to be late.”

  “Coming…” Michael flew down the stairs as if he had wings. “Bye Mom.” He barely glanced at her as he raced out the door. “Come on Dad!”

  Amir looked at Alexis and laughed. “I’ll talk to you later. Enjoy your evening.”

  She watched as Amir backed his car out of her driveway then slowly closed the door and leaned back against it. To say she was shocked by his attitude would’ve been an understatement. So much for the speech I practiced...

  Maybe the way things ended last night didn’t bother him after all. Alexis knew she should be relieved. Instead, she found herself strangely upset at the thought.

  A couple of hours later, Amir was still on Alexis' mind as she got ready for a date with David. She had forgotten they were supposed to go to dinner until he called to confirm the time. Alexis thought about cancelling. She wasn't in the mood to go anywhere, but decided maybe she needed to get out of the house. Besides, it would be nice to get a little attention, especially after the way Amir acted towards her earlier.

  She ignored the voice that told her he’d tried to give her some “attention” last night, but she was the one who'd run off like a scared schoolgirl instead of staying and gettin’ her grown woman on. But Alexis assured herself she'd made the right decision. She refused to be added to the collection of women he was rumored to have scattered around Atlanta. David was a gentleman. A little boring maybe, but at least he treated her with respect.

  After applying scented lotion over every inch of her body, Alexis walked over to the closet to find something to wear. She pulled out an off white wrap dress that emphasized her hourglass shape and was getting ready to put it on when the doorbell rang. Frowning, she looked at the clock on her nightstand. Okay, David was a little bit too early. He'd have to wait because she was nowhere being ready. Grabbing her robe, she hurried downstairs to the door just as the doorbell impatiently chimed again.

  “Alright, alright!" she called out. "David?”

  “It’s me.”

  Alexis froze when heard Amir’s voice. Her first thought was that maybe something had happened to Michael. She quickly unlocked the door and swung it open in a panic.

  “What’s wrong??” The words rushed out of her mouth as she thought about her son hurt and in a hospital somewhere.

  Amir shook
his head and said quietly - too quietly. “Nothing's wrong. Michael's fine.”

  Alexis closed her eyes and breathed out a sigh of relief. “Oh, thank God!” She put her hand over her thumping heart. After a moment, her eyes popped open. The air around them became thick with heightened tension. “If Michael’s okay, then what are you doing here?”

  Amir walked inside without an invitation , forcing her to take a step back if she didn’t want his body to brush up against hers.

  “Amir?”

  His intense, dark gaze held her rooted to the spot while he calmly closed the door then locked it. Alexis took another step back. Amir followed with one of his own. His eyes skimmed over her flimsy attire. “You were expecting David dressed like that?”

  “I was getting dressed to go somewhere….” The sentence trailed off when her eyes dropped down to watch his fingers undo a button on his shirt. “Wait. What are you doing?”

  Alexis moved back on unsteady legs. Amir advanced, matching her step for step as the next button came undone. “Stop that!” He slipped another one open. “Amir, I mean it!”

  Finally, he got to the last one. Alexis held a hand up and stumbled when she felt the bottom stair under her foot. Before she could catch herself, she tripped backwards, landing on the third step up.

  Towering over her, Amir took his shirt off then unbuckled his belt. Alexis swallowed hard and tried not to notice how ripped and muscular his chest and arms were. He had been fine ten years ago, but now as a grown ass man he was definitely getting his sexy on.

  “Tonight, there won't be any interruptions. Michael’s safe and at his friend’s house for the night - I called to check on him before I came over - and you don’t have anywhere to run.”

  Chapter 14

  Alexis lifted her chin and stared at him. She’d be damned if she let him know how much he affected her. “I’m not afraid of you, Amir. I just don’t want to sleep with you,” she lied.
