“I’ll like anything you do to me, baby girl.”
Alexa shakes her head and then asks the one question she knows she has to. “How many women did you fuck, Scotty? Because that is how many times you’re going to feel this crop across your ass.”
“I fucked no one, Alexa.”
“Don’t lie to me. That will only make this worse. Tell me the truth and maybe I will show you some mercy.”
“I am telling the truth.”
“Scotty,” she says, running the crop down his back, “I saw your dick in that whore’s mouth.”
“Yes, you did and I’m very sorry for that. That’s as much of my cock as she got. I wouldn’t lie to you. Do you think after I saw you, after I said the things I said, after I watched you walk out my door that I went back in that room and fucked her?” He turns his head slightly to face her. “I kicked them out as soon as you left. Then I put down a bottle of Jack. I didn’t fuck anyone. I swear.”
Alexa paces the room, unsure of how to react to this. She wanted to punish him for the things he did, but somehow she didn’t have it in her to actually do it.
“Baby girl, I want you to hit me with that thing. I want you to take out all your anger on me once and for all. I can take it. We start fresh here–right now.”
“I can’t, Scott. I don’t want to.” She realizes it’s completely the truth. She doesn’t feel excited by this and doesn’t want to see him suffer. Holy fuck, what’s happening to me?
“Just try it once, Lexi. It might feel good.”
She takes a deep breath and brings the riding crop down hard across his ass. Scott sucks in his breath but says nothing. “Scotty…” She definitely does not want to do it again.
“Do it again, baby girl.”
Alexa lifts the crop and slaps it against his skin once more. Scott remains silent but she drops the crop on the floor and sits down next to him. “Scotty, I did these things to men out of anger and hurt and even though those emotions are still in me, I can’t treat you the way I treated those men. It’s just…not hot.” She smiles. “Definitely not hot.”
Scott laughs. “Not hot for me either, baby girl. I just needed you to know I would do anything to make you happy, even let you assault me with a riding crop. Can you untie me now?”
“Yeah,” she says and starts to undo the restraints. “Since we’re confessing things…”
“No,” he says stopping her, “I don’t want to hear you fucked someone or let a man touch you. I don’t want to hear that this time.”
“That’s not what happened.” She takes a deep breath. “It was a woman.”
He cocks his head at her. “What was a woman?”
“A woman. She touched me. Went down on me actually.”
“What? When the fuck did this happen,” Scott asks, chuckling.
“After I left your place in New York. I went to get a massage and she um, well, she took care of me.”
“Holy shit.” He runs his hand over his forehead. “Did you like it?”
She nods. “Yeah, I mean it happened the one other time but I was drunk and practically passed out. This time I was wide awake. It was actually pretty amazing.”
“Now that, baby girl, is fucking hot.”
“I know.” Alexa grins.
“Is that why you’re telling me?”
“No, I’m just telling you what I did while you were gone.”
“Lexi, thank you for taking me back. I tried to stay away. I thought it was best for you. But if I’m being honest, you’re the only person on this planet that means a damn thing to me. I would walk away from everything tomorrow to keep you. Do you understand that? I’m done with the games and the constant mind fuck that happens between us. You’re the only woman that’s ever gotten under my skin. It’s only you. I want this life with you. I want to be here with you, every day, until there are no more days left to live. I mean it.”
Alexa reaches up and rubs his cheek. “This is going to be a work in progress. We’re not going to be perfect overnight.”
“Alexa, we already are perfect. We are both exactly where we need to be. This is our life and our love. We’ll figure it out together.” He leans close and kisses her softly on the mouth. “I asked you once, to tell me you were back. Well, it’s me that’s back. I’m back and I’m never leaving again. I hope you’re ready to go back into this with me.”
“Yeah, Scotty, I’m ready. I want this with you.”
He nuzzles her cheek. “Let’s go to bed and make love the way normal, well-adjusted people do. How does that sound?”
“Boring as hell. Why don’t we go to bed and fuck the way Scotty and Lexi do. How does that sound?”
“Like fucking heaven, baby girl.”
Scott and Alexa walk into her bedroom and, after Alexa undresses, they climb into her comfortable bed. For several minutes, they lay wrapped in each other’s arms, silently soaking in the presence of the other. Alexa tilts her head up and looks at Scott’s handsome features, rubbing the soft stubble on his face.
“Scotty?”
“Yeah, baby girl?”
“Thank you for coming back for me.”
“Thank you for taking me back.”
“One more thing?” she says.
“Anything.”
“I’ll fucking kill you if you hurt me like that again.”
“And I’ll deserve it.” Scott rolls to his side and drags his tongue across her collar bone. “You have my promise. I’m gonna be the man you need.”
“You already are, Scotty. You already are.”
His hands run down over her body then back again, kneading her breasts between his large hands. She lies back against the pillow, enjoying the sensation of his skin touching hers. His mouth closes over her hardened nipples, sucking each one into his mouth. Alexa notices right away that Scotty is being gentle with her.
“Scotty…” she says, breathlessly.
“What, baby girl,” he asks as he caresses her nipples with his tongue.
“More.”
“More what?”
She writhes underneath him. “I want you to be rough with me, like always.”
He lifts his head and smiles, gazing into her eyes. “Tell me exactly what you want.”
“I want…” she whispers, and then sits up slightly. “I want you to pull my hair, bite my skin, slap my ass, lick me until I cry, and fuck me so hard I can’t walk tomorrow.”
Scotty laughs. “That, I can do.” He rises up on his knees and pulls Alexa up by her arm, then turns her around so her back is facing him. He slides his hand down between her legs, while his other hand gently grabs her neck. She leans her head back against him as his teeth sink into the tender skin of her shoulder. She cries out and presses her ass against his rock hard erection.
“Is this what you want, baby girl?” he asks.
She nods and presses her body against his even more. His fingers reach her clit and rub in a circular motion, causing Alexa to spread her legs further to give him even more access. His hand leaves her neck and pushes her back down so her face is lying against the pillow but her hips remain higher. He kneels down and spreads her legs before pushing himself into and pumping against her furiously for several minutes before grabbing her around the waist and twisting her around so her back is against the bed. He pushes her legs up high, resting her ankles on his shoulders, and dives between her legs, plunging his tongue into her, causing her to grind and push against his mouth.
She can’t help it as tears stream down her cheeks. Scotty continues sucking and swirling his tongue in and out of her, over her clit, dipping his fingers inside of her until she can’t do anything but accept the monumental pressure building deep within her. She grips the sheets as the intensity explodes throughout her, causing her to scream out, “Scotty, shit!”
“Yeah, Lexi. Scotty is doing this to you. It’s only me and you from now on, baby girl.” He pushes into her once more, fucking her harder than she’s ever been fucked before, even by her Scotty.
He seems to be trying to erase all the terrible things that have happened, all the hurt and the games, all the pain. He grabs her arms and pulls her up to him, wrapping his arms around her and holding her close.
“I fucking love you, Alexa. Do you know that? Do you feel it? I love you.”
“Yeah, I feel it, baby. I do.”
“Tell me that you love me too. Tell me you’re mine.”
She pulls her head back just enough so she can look at him. Before she can speak he kisses her and it’s the sweetest most honest kiss she’s ever had.
Alexa looks into those black eyes, suddenly so much softer, so much warmer. “I love you, Scotty. And you know I’m yours. I belong to you. I always have.”
“I belong to you too, Lexi,” Scott says. He pulls her closer and finally, exhales, releasing into her. She leans her head against his shoulder, and feels his hands running through her hair. As she kisses his neck and his shoulder, something in her settles. A feeling of calm takes over and she knows this is right. This is her man and her love. He’s the only man she’s ever loved and ever will. This is how they love.
Scott looks at the beauty in his arms and kisses her cheek, then lies her down against the bed. He curls up next to her and runs his hand over her stomach. “You’re everything to me.”
Alexa nods her head. She knows.
“You can’t leave Patrick Collins Media. You have to run London. I’m going to talk to Brett about how we can change things so that you and I can be together.”
“That’s not really possible. All three offices are in different countries.”
“Let me handle this, Alexa. Just give me this one liberty in your life, this one time. You trust me with your career right?”
“Yes.”
“Good. Tomorrow you’ll go to work and we’ll figure things out from there. Deal?”
“Deal.”
“Now, my sweet baby girl, I’m afraid I didn’t get enough of you. I need just a little bit more of that goodness between your legs.”
Alexa laughs and shakes her head. “You amaze me.”
“That’s a good thing?”
“Very good.”
Scott rolls on top of Alexa, causing her to giggle as he pushes into her once more, making love to her the way only Scott Patrick can.
Alexa stands in her closet looking for just the right outfit to wear. Her coworkers haven’t seen her in nearly three weeks and she’s almost nervous to face them after all the drama she’s dealt with the last few weeks.
She pulls out a navy blue sheath dress that she always feels good in and selects her nude pumps and a matching belt. After her shower, she blow dries her hair and puts her makeup on, then selects her jewelry for the day. She slips into the dress and shoes and gazes at her reflection. There’s that foreign expression on her face again. She knows now that it’s the happiness she feels when Scott’s around.
Scott walks into the room, his phone held to his ear. “See you at nine, then? Sounds good, Brett. Thanks.” He hangs up and kisses Alexa’s cheek. “Brett’s meeting us at your office. We’re going to discuss restructuring.”
“So, you’re not even mad at him or anything?”
“We talked and cleared the air. He’s on our side, Lexi. He wants us together. He’s a good guy. He just got caught in the middle of something he should’ve stayed out of. It’s all good.”
Alexa smiles. “He asked Martina on a date.”
Scott grins. “Yeah, I know. He tells me everything, remember? He likes her a lot so maybe this is a good thing.”
Alexa shrugs. “Yeah, a good thing.”
“Ready?” he asks.
“I am.”
They head to the elevators and make their way down to the lobby. “You know,” Alexa says, “This non-shaven Scotty look is pretty fucking hot.”
Scott rubs his chin. “You like it?”
“I do. It’s a nice change.”
“Good to know,” he says, winking at her as they walk through the door held open by James. Oswald jumps to attention and opens the car door for them as they approach.
“Your coffee is waiting, Miss Drake,” he says. “Yours too, Mr. Patrick.”
Scott nods and smiles. “Thank you, Oswald,” Alexa says and slides into the car. She watches as Scott has a brief word with Oswald and the two men shake hands. He gets in beside her.
“What was that about,” Alexa asks.
“I wanted him to know you were safe with me. He’s very protective of you. You have a lot of good people around you, Alexa.”
“You’re one of them, Scotty.”
He smiles and lifts her hand to kiss it. They ride to her office quietly. Words are not necessary in this moment. As the car approaches the office, she grips Scott’s hand and smiles. “I’m glad I’m here. It’s where I belong.”
“Yes, it is. We’ll make it work, baby girl.”
“I know.”
They ride the elevator to her floor and step out into the lobby. As she turns the corner to enter the office she peels off her coat and removes her sunglasses. Everyone looks up as she enters the room, and she swears she hears a small gasp. She smiles and notices the almost shocked expressions across the room.
“Good morning, everyone. If I could have your attention for just a moment, please?”
It’s quite unnecessary to ask for their attention. She definitely already has it. Martina stands in the doorway to her office smiling, Brett standing behind her.
“I want to start off by thanking you all for your hard work and dedication while I took care of some personal business.” She glances up at Scott, who stands in the back of the room, his arms crossed, smiling at her. “I want to let you know that I am most definitely back and that there will be some changes. Positive changes. I’ll be making plans for the New Year starting very soon and sharing those plans with you shortly. Until then, thank you very much and carry on.”
Alexa turns to walk towards her office and then hears a quiet voice. “Miss Drake?”
She turns and sees Patricia and another girl, Carol, standing up. “We’re glad you’re back.” The women start to clap and the entire office follows.
Alexa is surprised and incredibly touched that her employees care that much about her. She places her hand over her heart and bows slightly towards the group. “Thank you. I’m glad to be back.”
Alexa walks to her office–Scott, Martina, and Brett follow her. She steps behind her desk and sits down, motioning to the others to do the same. “I have something to say before we get started.” She looks down at her hands. “Thank you both for caring about me and helping to bring Scotty and me back together. And… I love working here and hope to do so for many years.”
Brett smiles. “You were meant for this job, and you were meant for Scott.”
Martina wipes a tear from her eye. “I’m so happy. This is exactly how things are supposed to be right now.”
Alexa smiles and looks at the sweet girl that has come to be her friend. Her eyes shift to Brett, who watches Martina with an adoring expression. Finally, she looks at Scott, her Scotty, and her heart swells just a bit more from the love she feels for him. “You know, Martina, I couldn’t agree with you more. Now, should we get started? We have much to discuss.”
Martina stands. “I’ll get the coffee and tea set up. This is so exciting,” she says, giggling.
Brett watches the bubbly girl and Alexa notices the sweet expression on his face. Maybe it is a good thing.
Scott speaks first. “We need to find a way to make it work so that Alexa and I can work together.”
Brett nods his head. “I assumed. I think we can make it work. Technology these days makes it easier to manage offices across oceans, if need be,” he says.
Alexa smiles, listening to the two men discuss the future of Patrick Collins Media. Her future. The one she would be entering with Scott Patrick by her side. For the first time in a long time, she knew that she was exactly in the right place. She looks across the desk at Scott an
d grins as he winks at her. She feels her guard sink just a little bit lower and her heart open just a little bit more.
“What do you think about that, Alexa? Co-managing London and New York together. Do you think we can make it work?” Scott asks.
“Yeah, Scotty. We can do this.”
“You’ve reformed me, baby girl.”
~ Scotty
“Not entirely I hope. I like my dirty, edgy Scotty.”
~ Alexa
“Lexi, are you almost ready? Oswald will be here any minute now,” Scott calls to Alexa who’s in the bedroom.
“Be right there,” she calls back. Alexa finishes brushing her hair before joining Scott in the living room. “It’s your fault I’m always running late these days. You keep me up too late,” she says, winking.
“You should get used to that, baby girl,” Scott says, holding her jacket out for her. She slides into it, as he leans forward and kisses her neck. “Are you excited for today?”
“Very. We’ve worked hard to get to this point.”
“That we have. I think it will work. We’ll make sure it does.”
“Yes,” she smiles and kisses Scotty’s cheek. “Shall we go?”
Scott places his hand on the small of her back and walks her out, closing the door behind them. They ride the elevator down, hand in hand, and greet James as they head out for the day. Today, their new office will be ready. The entire staff moved up a floor in their building to make room for the extra staff and the combined office shared by Alexa and Scott. Martina is getting a swank new space and her own assistant to help manage the international couple’s calendars. It was hard to tell who was most excited about all of this.
Oswald stands outside the car, waiting to open the door for Scott and Alexa. He has warmed up to Scott over the last three months, after he realized he was a good guy after all. He was happy Alexa didn’t quit and he retained his position as her driver. She’s a hell of a lot nicer now too.
Alexa slides into the car and looks out the window as Scott climbs in beside her. She notices how beautiful the day is, the sun finally shining brightly. Spring has settled in London and she was starting to feel at home there. Scott pulls out his phone and checks an email.
