What Alex Wants The Complete Duet (What Alex Wants #1-2)
Page 29
“I love you, Harper. More than I ever thought possible. So much so that it still surprises me every day. You surprise me. That’s why I need you to be safe. I know you think I need to make amends with my family, but I can’t promise that will ever happen.”
“Alex—”
“No. Let me finish. I’m not saying you won’t meet my mother. It will happen. Just give it a little more time and let me make sure you are safe for a while first. Then if you still want to have a party, we will have a party. Hell, you can have ten parties if that makes you feel better.”
She sank down to her knees and gripped his legs. “I’m not going anywhere anymore. You know that, right?”
He nodded, the lump in his throat making it pretty damned hard to answer.
“Well, I take that back,” she said, a sly smile crossing her face. “I am going on a trip, but I’m hoping you’ll go with me.”
Alex cleared his throat. “So where are we going?” Not that he cared. If she wanted him to take her on a trip, he’d make it happen. Every minute with Harper was another minute in which his priorities continued to change.
“Zia’s leaving for Las Vegas in the morning and we’ve been invited to the opening of her restaurant next month. I’d really like to go.”
Of course. She’d mentioned this a few times in the last couple of weeks and in the midst of his planning for Viktor he’d let it slip his mind.
“Vegas is a decadent city. We could have a lot of fun there. They like deviants like me.”
She leaned forward and ran her slender fingers between his legs stopping just before she reached his cock. “Don’t you mean deviants like us?”
A low growl rumbled from his throat as he threaded his fingers in her hair and tugged her head back to bear her throat. “Do you know what else is perfect about Vegas, kitten?” He nipped at her sensitive skin making sure to leave a sting in his wake.
“What?” she asked breathlessly, obviously loving the pain.
He tightened his grip on her hair with one hand and reached for a nipple with the other. “Sin City has more wedding chapels per capita than any other city in the world…”
The End
I hope you enjoyed the What Alex Wants Duet! This was such a fun and challenging story to write and I can’t wait to see Alex and Harper pop in again when the TRIPLE SIN series begins next.
