“Ooh, yes please.” She nods enthusiastically. “That would be amazing.”
She strips without a scrap of self-doubt, revealing her utterly gorgeous body. She isn’t wearing a bra, but I’d already worked that much out from the scrap of material covering her top. She doesn’t need one anyway, not with those pert breasts. She’s lucky to be able to wear whatever she wants to.
I take out an old baseball top and hand it to her. She slips it on and I watch it surround her body like it’s meant to be there, like it’s always belonged to her. She really is incredible in whatever she wears.
“I might have to wear this home when I leave, you know,” she warns me. “It’s very comfortable.”
“You can stay for a while, can’t you? We can watch a movie and talk… maybe kiss a bit too.”
“Of course.” She slides between the sheets and smiles. “I’m nowhere near ready to go yet.”
“Good, because I wasn’t intending to let you go anyway.”
“Ooh.” She winks playfully at me. “I like the sound of that. Now will you get in here already.”
“Let me just slip in to something a little more… comfortable…”
“You have a sexy little night dress or something to wear for me?”
I chuckle and nod, very amused by that idea. She is funny. Alexa brings a ray of sunshine with her, and my life has been filled with rain clouds for far too long. I need her. “I sure do.”
“Good, because that’s the dream.”
“A man in a night dress is the dream, huh? Wow, well you learn something new every day.”
“Oh, you’re going to learn a lot from me, I can promise you that.”
“Even though you are younger than me, Alexa, I have absolutely no doubt about that.”
She’s already taught me so much. More than she knows. And for the amount of time that she’s in my life, I know she will continue to do so the whole time.
I get in beside her and hold her close to me, my chest filling with a brand new sensation. Or maybe it isn’t new, it might have been there all along, I just haven’t noticed it before. But now I can’t notice anything but. My feelings for her are growing and changing, evolving on to something new. The emotions are intense, much too powerful for the short time that we’ve been hanging out… but I suppose it’s been an unusual situation. I don’t know if I’m quite ready to use the L word for what I’m going through right now, but it’s damn close.
Not the love that I felt for my wife, but a new kind. But perhaps that’s what life is. A whole range of different love for different people. If that’s the case, then I don’t have any choice but to just roll with it. Wherever it might take me…
Chapter Eighteen
Alexa
The first thing that I feel is the warmth of another body beside me as I stir and slowly bring myself into the morning light and it is the most wonderful feeling in the world. I love having these arms around me, it’s a comfort that I didn’t even know I missed or craved. I don’t ever want this bliss filled moment to end. It’s so peaceful and wonderful…
But then reality hits and I bolt into a sitting position. I’m still at Reece’s house! I must have fallen asleep in his bed last night, which is totally against the rules. We never allow that to happen, and for a good reason. Because it’s dangerous. I don’t think that my father will be missing me, he will just assume that I’m at Rebecca’s house, because I’m in a mood with him, but Valencia is a different matter. She’s here, she’s always here, she’s Reece’s live in nanny, and I’m bound to get caught this time. I can creep in when she’s asleep and it’s the dead of night. Surrounded by darkness it feels cheeky and fun, but in the cold light of day… well it’s going to be a different story. I don’t think we’re going to be able to make it work. This could be the end for us.
“Reece.” I shake him hard, needing him to wake up fast. “Reece, wake up.”
“Huh?” he stirs, but doesn’t fully open his eyes right away. Not until I shake him again. “Alexa?”
“That’s right,” I gasp. “It’s morning and I’m still here. We must have fallen asleep.”
He props up on to his elbows and gives me a lazy smile. It’s immediately obvious that he doesn’t have a clue how deadly serious this this. “I know. It was nice to have you all to myself for a whole night.”
As he strokes the bottom of my back, I squirm. His touch is too much right now.
“I’m panicking, Reece. I don’t know how it happened last night but I am really worried now.”
“Why are you so worried? It’s fine, isn’t it? You aren’t in any trouble.”
“No, but I will be, won’t I? When Valencia inevitably sees me. Oh God.” I clutch my forehead hard and try to will the head ache away. I don’t need that right now. “We made a mistake, Reece. What can we do?”
He leans down and kisses me softly on the end of my nose. “Don’t worry. We’ll figure it out.”
He looks so calm; how can he be so calm? He was in such a state last night and now he’s just fine. It’s so weird to have the roles reversed. I don’t much like being on this side of things, but it feels more necessary now. I could easily manipulate things last night to ensure my father didn’t see us, but this it out of my control.
“I’m freaked out, Reece. I can’t help it,” I tell him honestly. “I don’t want this to become an issue.”
He rolls on top of me, completely covering my body with his. I have to admit, having him on me like this is distracting, it helps the anxiety in my chest to calm down a little bit. Even more when he gives me a kiss.
“I won’t let anything bad happen to you, I promise you that. You trust me, don’t you?”
I run my hands along his butt, groaning gleefully as I do. “Yes, I trust you. I do.”
My thighs automatically part so he falls between them. The idea of morning sex with this man has always had to be a fantasy because I didn’t think that we would ever see each other at this time of day, but now, we could turn this mistake in to an opportunity if we want to. And hot damn, I want to. Every inch of me does.
“Mmm, you taste good in the morning, you know that, right?” He murmurs as his fingers itch up my tee shirt. “And you look great too. Like something I just want to devour whole.”
I can barely contain the shiver that races up and down my spine. I’m breathless, already unable to speak, so I wrap my legs tightly around him to do the speaking for me. Luckily, I stripped right down last night so there’s no pesky underwear in the way. I can feel his tip teasing my entrance already.
“Oh fuck,” he groans, sounding like he’s actually in pain. I get the impression that he’s one of those guys who loves it in the morning. That’s always handy to remember… just in case. “Fuck, Alexa, you feel so good.”
He reaches across without looking, banging his fingers on the side to try and grab a condom. Thank goodness he still has that sense about him. I’m so hot that I wouldn’t have even thought about it… which is exactly how accidents happen. This whole thing is messy enough without adding a baby in to the mix.
Reece can’t seem to find what he’s looking for, but that’s okay. I know his bedroom well enough by now, so I twist over and I open the drawer where he keeps his birth control. Then I tear the foil square apart and I take a few moments to roll it over him teasingly, seductively, using it as an opportunity to drive him wild some more. I love the feel of his rock hard cock between my fingers anyway, knowing that erection is all for me.
His eyes fall closed as I stroke him, creating a damp patch between my thighs. I’m actually teasing myself as well as him. I’m driving myself passed the point of no return. If I don’t have him now, I’ll die.
“Fuck me,” I beg in a whisper. “I need you to fuck me, Reece. Hard and fast and… I need all of you.”
Thankfully, he doesn’t need asking twice, he slams in to me, giving me everything I need and more. He fills me up completely, touching every inch of my insides, and my God it feels inc
redible. So wonderful it’s hard not to scream the house down. We need to be even quieter now that the whole house might be awake.
“Oh fuck,” I rasp while digging my nails in to him. “Wow, Reece, oh my God.”
Each thrust sends my head spinning. Every touch leaves me on fire. I want to feel every single part of him, I want all of him to belong to me. I don’t know what the future holds, but right here, right now, he is mine.
All of a sudden., Reece stuns me by dragging out of me and flipping me over in an instant. I can barely catch my breath before he pulls me up on to all fours and he’s inside of me again. The time I have to bite down so hard on my bottom lip I’m afraid that I might draw blood, just to keep the yelling inside.
His fingers edge around the front of my body, he reaches hungrily for my clit, and it isn’t long before he finds me. My most sensitive area. He plays excitedly with me while he continues to thrust, making my limbs shake and shudder. I don’t exactly know how I manage to keep myself upright, I’m so damn juddery.
The pressure builds. It creeps through me, growing gigantically in my stomach. My lungs squeeze, I can’t get enough air in no matter how much I try, and I don’t even care because I’m focused solely on my core, on his delicious velvety fingers on my clit, just waiting for that incredible moment when he tips me over the edge. It’s coming, I can feel it, any minute now I will be in my favorite place in the whole damn world. With him…
As the orgasm hits me this time around, it’s different. Even more intense than before. I don’t know if it’s because it’s the morning and it’s different, or because the feelings between us are deeper, but I bask in the wonderful, all-consuming sensation. I love each lapping wave of pleasure as it rolls over me again and again. Reece continues to hold me tight throughout, reminding me in every single way that he’s still here.
He’s still here, after everything, which has to mean something. Something more important than we know.
I push myself up on to my knees and plant my palms firmly on his head board so I can slam back against him and draw the pleasure from him too. The guttural animalistic noises that fly uncontrollably out of his mouth the closer he gets to the edge are like music to my ears. I want to savor each and every one.
“Alexa, I… I…” I can tell that he wants to say something, and I’m sure that it’s important. “I…”
But the sentence doesn’t come to an end, instead he loses himself. I want to ask him, to demand to know what he was going to tell me, but I can’t. It was probably just one of those heat of the moment things anyway. I’m just putting more emphasis on it, because perhaps there’s something I want him to say to me.
“Oh wow, that was incredible,” he gasps while collapsing back on to the bed. “You really are special, Alexa.”
I smile and curl in beside him, enjoying his warmth for just a little while longer. I know that I’ll have to go soon, much as I don’t want to, and I don’t want to face that reality just yet. Particularly because it’s going to be hard to get out of here unnoticed. We need to come up with some sort of escape plan…
“I’m going to make you breakfast in bed,” Reece suddenly declares with pride in his tone. “Since you’re here this morning, I don’t see why I shouldn’t do the gentleman thing and cook for you.”
“Erm, maybe because Valencia will think it’s weird that you’re having two breakfasts… in bed.”
“It isn’t really any of her business though, is it? I’m allowed to have guests over.”
“Hmm, that’s true.” I tap my chin thoughtfully. “It might actually be better if you admit there’s someone. Then it might make her less suspicious. As long as she doesn’t see that it’s me, we’ll be fine.”
“Exactly.” He kisses me on the tip of the nose, something that he’s started doing a lot and I have to admit I really do like it. It makes me feel sweet and special. “I told you that we’d come up with a plan.”
“You sure did. You’re so kinda sneaking around genius. Make me wonder if you’ve done this before.”
He cups my cheek gently. “Nope, you’re the first person this has been necessary with.”
“Well, that’s good, I think.” We both laugh. “I don’t know, this is all wild.”
“You say that like this is the first time you’ve had to sneak around as well.”
“It is!” I insist. “I haven’t ever really spent a lot of time with someone like this.” I almost said something about being in a relationship with Reece then. Thank goodness I stopped myself. That could have led to a very awkward conversation that neither of us are ready for. “Well, since my high school boyfriend, but I don’t know how much that counts. It was more puppy love than anything else. It wasn’t anything like this.”
“Well, good.” He kisses me once more. “Now, I’m going to make good on that breakfast I promised you.”
“That sounds amazing, thank you, Reece.”
He slides out of the bed and pulls on some sweat pants. I yank the covers up right over my body and push myself in to a sitting position so that I can really perv over him while he’s getting dressed. God, he’s hot. So gorgeous and now I really can think of him as my own. At least for a while.
Chapter Nineteen
Reece
I can’t keep the giant smile off my face as I make my way in to the kitchen. I almost sing with joy, skip with glee, act like a complete crazy child. Alexa makes me feel so young, and every moment that I’m with her, I feel lighter and freer. I never want this amazing thing between us to end.
“Hello there, Reece.” Valencia’s voice almost makes me jump. “How are you today?”
I spin to see her sitting beside Oliver while he eats his breakfast. Or more, he just mushes it with his fingers.
“Oh, yes… I’m good.” I pour a coffee and eye her curiously. She’s got her eyebrow cocked at me, she’s giving me a strange look. Something weird is definitely going on here anyway. “How are you?”
“I’m good. Very well rested… but then I’m not the one who was up all night.”
Ah, I see. She knows. She heard that I have someone in my room. I just really hope that she doesn’t have a clue who it was. I smile thinly, racking my brain, trying to work out what way to play this.
“Hmm, right. Yes, I did have a guest over last night. That’s true.”
“I know, I heard you. You weren’t exactly quiet this morning.” She winks at me. “You woke Oliver up.”
“Oh right.” I can feel a heat creeping up my cheeks. I need to play it damn cool now if I don’t want to give myself away. “Well, I’m very sorry about that. It wasn’t… intentional. I didn’t mean to cause chaos.”
What the hell is going on? Why am I apologizing to Valencia about having sex in my own home? I know that she’s the live in nanny, but this is still my place. I can do whatever I want with in it.
“Anyway, I better just get some breakfast on…” I turn away, trying to work out her angle.
“So, who is it?” she asks behind me. “Who’s the lucky lady who finally caught your eye?”
“It’s… no one you know.” Fuck, it really feels like she knows more than she’s letting on.
“I know most people around here. Even the people your age. I bet I do know her.”
I grab the bacon out of the fridge and I start to cook it, trying to buy myself some time. I can feel Valencia’s eyes piercing in to the back of my head as I work. She isn’t going to let this go.
“I don’t want to talk about it right now. I would rather just see how it goes.”
“I think you should tell me,” she insists. “Since I live here. I want to know who is coming in and out of the place. Hey, it might even be someone that I can become friends with. That would be fun.”
“Valencia, like I just said, I would rather keep it to myself right now.” I ball my fists up, trying to keep the temper inside. She’s pushing me, trying to challenge me, trying to see what she can drag out of me.
“Well, I really don�
��t think that’s fair on me. After everything that I do around here…”
“Valencia!” I spin around to face her. “Let it go. I’m serious. I don’t want to talk about it with you.”
She mutters something under her breath which is the last straw for me. I have been unhappy with her work for a while now, and I’ve been planning this bold step. Now that she’s trying to interfere with my private life as well. It’s too much for me. I need to start making some serious changes, and I need to begin now.
“Valencia, you cannot talk to me like that. You can’t ask me about my private life. This is a business relationship, and you need to respect that.” She pulls a face at me. “But you don’t respect that, do you? You never have done. And I don’t think you care enough about Oliver either. Not enough.”
She shrugs her shoulders, just proving my point. “I’m not his mother, am I?”
“No, I know that.” I slide my eyes closed and rub my forehead. “I understand that you aren’t. But you are one of the most important people in my son’s life right now, and I would prefer it if you cared more.”
Her expression is blank, I can’t help but wonder if she gets what I’m saying to her at all. Either way, it really doesn’t matter. The right decision is to get rid of her, no matter what now.
“Okay, well I think that it’s time to discuss terminating your employment…”
“You’re firing me?” she practically screams. “Are you for real right now?”
Oliver starts crying at the sound of her shrill tone and she completely ignores him. It’s me who goes over to pick him up from the chair to comfort him. Valencia doesn’t even bat an eye lid.
“Look, Valencia, I just don’t think this is working, that’s all. I don’t think you’re the right person to be around Oliver right now. He’s been through a lot in his life. He needs someone who understands that.”
