Beautifully Twisted Page 12

  “You were right.”

  “So, if I wasn’t here, if I never came back, you would date Brett?”

  She shrugs her shoulders. “I have no idea. I reacted to Brett the way I did because of you. For all I know, he could’ve just been another play thing for me that I used and abused. No way to know at this point.”

  “I don’t know if Brett would be up for that.”

  Her lips curl into a smirk. “I can be very persuasive.”

  “That I know.” He lifts her hand to his mouth and kisses it. “I’m so happy to be here with you…this way…not fighting and battling each other.”

  “I’m glad too.”

  “Are you?”

  She nods.

  “Come away with me this weekend. We’ll go to the castle and make love, and talk, and just be together. We’ll start over. Would you like that?”

  “Yes, I would. There’s just one thing I haven’t figured out yet.”

  “What’s that?”

  “How this is going to end well. You live in New York and I can’t shake the feeling that we’ll end up apart again.”

  “Alexa, sweet girl,” he leans over and kisses her neck, softly, “I didn’t come all this way just to let you go again. We’ll figure it out together. You have to trust me, like you always have.”

  He’s right, she did trust him. So much so that she would let him do anything to her. She’s not sure how many crazy things he suggested over the years, but she always knew he wouldn’t hurt her, wouldn’t go too far. It’s just that it was never about her heart before. It was always about sex. This was a new place for them.

  Alexa looks into his eyes, astounded by their warmth and sincerity. She’s never seen Scott so tender before and it warms her frigid heart.

  “I trust you, Scotty.”

  He gives her a big smile. “Good, let’s sleep now.”

  Alexa blinks her eyes open, hoping for Scotty to be there. He’s not. She pulls herself up and walks to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Staring at herself in the mirror, she sees an expression that is foreign even to her. She looks… happy.

  She walks out to the living room, then to the kitchen. It’s still dark outside and she wonders where Scotty went. Her first instinct is fear that he panicked and left before her eyes catch the note sticking to her coffee machine.

  “I’m coming back. Just getting coffee and food. I love you. SP”

  She leans back against the counter and smiles. He’s coming back. She heads back to her bedroom to start the shower. Stepping in, she stands under the hot water, letting it wash over her. She notices him entering the room. He pulls the glass door open and stands before her, his nakedness on full display, a grin across his lips.

  “Good morning, baby girl. Did you sleep well?”

  “I did, but I’d like to wake up and have you still next to me.”

  “I’ll work on that. I wanted to get breakfast before we had to head out to work.”

  He steps in behind her, running his hands down her back. “Let me wash you.”

  She hands him the body wash and turns towards him, soaking in his glorious body. His hands begin at her shoulders, massaging gently as he moves down her back, pulling her closer to him. She looks up and stares into his eyes. He smiles at her and kisses the tip of her nose.

  His hands glide over her breasts, squeezing gently, before moving down her backside. She leans into him, wanting him so badly. She reaches her hands out to touch him but he pushes her arms down.

  “You can’t touch me. If you do, I won’t be able to control myself.”

  She kisses his chest. “You don’t have to. You can have me, Scotty.”

  “I want to make love to you, not just fuck you in the shower.”

  “Hey,” she slides closer so he’s forced to look at her, “making love is defined by us. I want you and I want this between us, very much right now.”

  He runs his hands through her wet hair and tugs gently. She leans her head back, baring her throat for him and he kisses it, sucking softly.

  “You are so fucking beautiful, Alexa. I can’t believe I’m holding you right now.” He shakes his head and kisses her neck again.

  “You are holding me, Scotty. Just please… make love to me now.”

  Scott grabs her by the waist and lifts her up, pressing her back against the shower wall. He kisses her, sucking her lips into his mouth, nibbling softly as he does. She wraps her legs around his waist, feeling small and weightless in his powerful arms. She grips his neck tightly, holding on to him with all her might. He breaks away from kissing her and stares in her eyes.

  “Your eyes, baby girl, they’re like beautiful green emeralds. I have waited so long to hold you again, it feels like forever.”

  “It did feel like forever.”

  “I want to be inside of you again. Can you feel how hard I am pressing against your tight pussy right now?” He growls in her ear. “You fucking drive me crazy, Lexi.”

  Alexa reaches down and strokes his erection in her hands, the hot water from the shower spraying over them. “Just do it, Scotty. Stop talking and start fucking.”

  Scott tugs her hair harder, pulling her head back even more. “Is that what you want, baby girl? You want to be fucked?”

  “Yes,” she whispers.

  “By who?”

  “You, Scotty.”

  “Who else?” He sinks his teeth into the delicate flesh of her shoulder, causing her to cry out.

  “Oh God, Scotty, no one. Just you.”

  “Swear.”

  “I do. I swear.”

  His hand slides between her legs, plunging a finger deep within her. “And whose is this?”

  “Yours, Scotty.”

  “That’s right. It’s fucking mine.”

  She feels his hand move between her legs, the rest of him still supporting her body against the shower wall. He rubs against her clit, dipping his fingers deeper inside of her. She throws her head back and rocks against his hand, desperate for release.

  “You know how to get yourself off, don’t you, baby girl? Not yet though, not until I say so, right?”

  She looks up at him, knowing that they are both about to go to that place they said they wouldn’t. She nods her head, but her heart sinks. They have a long way to go for normal.

  He notices the change in her immediately. “What’s wrong, Lexi? What did I do wrong?”

  “Nothing. It’s just…” She stops, unsure of what to say next. He realizes what’s happening and slowly removes his fingers from her body.

  “We should stop,” he says softly.

  “What? Why?”

  “It’s not right.”

  “It’s fine, Scotty. This is what we do. We’ll figure it out over time.”

  “No.”

  She feels her blood begin to boil. He knows she’s turned on and now she’s wondering if this is just some attempt to get her to beg him and be submissive.

  “Is this some kind of game, Scott?” She stares into his eyes, searching for the truth.

  “No, of course not. I just… I can’t.”

  “Can’t?” She releases her grip from his neck and squirms out of his arms. “This is crazy.” She moves past him and opens the shower door, shaking her arm out of his hand when he tries to grab it. She grabs a towel and wraps herself in it, trying hard to hold back the tears that wait to fall. She hasn’t cried in six months, now it’s all she does.

  Scott stands in the shower helpless as the water turns cold. He doesn’t have the slightest idea how to explain to her what’s going on in his head right now.

  Alexa looks back at him and plops down on her bed, trying to sort her thoughts. She stares at the floor, noticing she could use another pedicure. She begins to chew silently on her fingernail, frozen in indecision.

  “Alexa?”

  She looks up to see him standing naked and wet in front of her. She shifts her eyes back to the floor, chewing harder on her finger. He pulls her hand away from her mouth.

&
nbsp; “Look at me please.”

  “No.”

  “Alexa.” She notices that his voice is quiet, intense, and demanding.

  “What?”

  “Look at me. Please.”

  She reluctantly lifts her face and looks at him and is startled by the tortured look on his face.

  “I needed to stop what was happening because I was going to go to that place I always go. It’s not what you want so I had to stop. The shower was just too sexy, too hot.”

  “So if you feel the urge to dominate me, we just have to stop? You don’t feel like you can control yourself?”

  “No.” He lowers his head, like he’s ashamed of himself.

  “Then I don’t know how this is going to work,” she whispers.

  “I’ll show you how. I just needed to break out of that moment for a second; I needed to think about it. I think I just need to learn not to act on every urge I get.” He sinks down in front her, steadying himself on her knees. “Alexa, I need you to let me do things this way for a while, to get used to things.”

  “I don’t know, Scotty. It was fine and then it shifted suddenly. I don’t need candlelight and butterfly kisses all the time. I like it rough–you know that. But as soon as it changed you backed off.”

  “Hey,” he tilts her chin up so he can see her eyes, “I’ve been this way a long time. Old habits.” He grins and she finds herself melting.

  “Okay, Scotty. We’ll try it your way.”

  “We’re starting over, all of this. I will do anything to give you the kind of relationship you want and deserve, even if it means I can’t fuck you for a while. You know I’ll be back though. I can’t live without it.” He leans forward and kisses her neck, sweetly. He pushes open her knees and drags a finger up her slit. “See, I’m already back.”

  She allows her legs to open and pulls him closer. He lifts his face to hers and kisses her gently, then slides two fingers deep within her. She gasps, reveling in the sweet sensation. She watches him descend between her legs.

  “I’m going to eat you for breakfast, my love. You have the sweetest pussy, the sweetest nectar. Thank you for giving it to me,” he whispers his sexy words as he drags his tongue up and around her clit.

  “Scotty…” she whispers.

  “Shush, baby girl. Just enjoy. This is all about you.”

  Alexa closes her eyes as his tongue dips inside her, swirling around and coaxing her to climax. He was the first to be here. He showed her how to fuck. Now he was showing her how to make love.

  Scott sucks on her clit, pumping his two fingers inside her, hitting that perfect spot. “You’re going to be late for work, baby girl,” he murmurs between licks.

  “I don’t give a fuck,” she says, laughing as she runs her hands over his head.

  “I fucking love you, baby girl,” he says, startling her with his emotion.

  She looks down at his sweet expression. “Come inside me, baby. Make love to me. We can do this.”

  He rises up and settles between her legs, gently pushing his erection inside her. She leans back on her elbows, enjoying the filling sensation. He pumps slowly at first, then increases his pace, silently pounding into her. He opens his eyes and stares down at her. “Fucking beautiful, Lexi… fuck.”

  She knows from the way his muscles tense up that he’s about to explode. She wraps her legs around his waist and lifts her hips up to push him deeper inside. His eyes shine with passion as he releases into her, exhaling loudly. He pulls out of her quickly, causing her to gasp again, and plants his mouth over her clit, sucking frantically. She writhes across the bed, clutching at her own breasts with abandon.

  “Oh God, Scotty… yes, baby, yes!” she cries out as her orgasm rips through her body. “Oh my… oh… yeah…oh yeah,” she whispers as her body convulses with pleasure, slowly returning to normal.

  Scotty climbs on the bed and lays next to her, entwining his hand in hers. They lay together for a moment with no words, before Alexa speaks.

  “We can do this, Scotty.”

  “Yes, baby girl, we can.”

  “You look fantastic,” Scotty tells Alexa as she slides into her winter coat.

  “Thanks, you’re not so bad yourself,” she says smiling. She glances at the clock on the wall above the fireplace–nine a.m. She quickly realizes she didn’t tell her temporary driver she would be late. He hasn’t called so she wonders if he’s even there.

  “Are you coming to the office with me, Scott?” she asks as she looks for her phone.

  “No, I’ll let you do your work in peace. I’m going to meet with Brett.” He smiles.

  “Oh yes, I almost forgot.”

  “I called your driver while you were dressing. He’s downstairs waiting for you. I figured you wanted to go in with him, rather than me. I’ve probably caused you enough embarrassment at the office lately.”

  “Yes, you have.” She smiles to soften her words.

  Scott walks close to her and wraps his arms around her waist, drawing her close. “I’ve been an ass but I’m going to try harder. I want to be what you need, Lexi.”

  “You already are, Scotty.”

  He kisses her, dipping his tongue sensuously between her lips. He lifts his head and stares into her eyes for just a moment. “I love you, Lexi. I know I do. I won’t be perfect but I will keep trying to make you happy.”

  She reaches up and rubs his cheek. “Thank you.”

  “Let’s get you to work. It must be panic that the ever prompt Alexa Drake is late for work.” He laughs and it fills her heart with joy.

  They walk to her elevator and ride down, hand in hand. Alexa cannot believe what’s taken place in just a few days. Not only is Scott Patrick back in her life, he swears he’s in love with her too. Unbelievable.

  They reach the lobby and she notices James standing near the door, smiling as he always did. “Morning, Miss Drake, Mr. Patrick. Everything alright this morning?” he asks.

  Scott steps forward. “I apologize for my behavior last evening and appreciate that you checked on Miss Drake.” He shakes James’ hand.

  The doorman offers a fatherly smile. “My pleasure, sir.”

  “James, could you send housekeeping up please? I had a coffee spill in the living room.” Alexa says, barely holding back a giggle.

  James’ eyes open wide, shocked that Alexa Drake is actually laughing. “Of course, ma’am.”

  “Okay, see ya later,” she says, her voice buoyant. She waves and catches the shocked looks of the staff out of the corner of her eye.

  Simon jumps to attention at the sight of her and rushes to open her car door. “Good morning, Miss Drake. I have your coffee.”

  “Thank you, Simon.” She smiles again. “Do you want to ride with me, Scott? I’m sure Simon can take you where you need to go.”

  “I have my car, baby girl. How do you think I showed up here in the middle of the night?” He leans in and kisses her forehead. “You have a good day. I’ll call you later. Will you have dinner with me tonight?”

  “Of course, Scotty.”

  “Maybe every night…”

  “Maybe,” she says.

  Scott kisses her lips this time, Simon standing awkwardly with the car door open. Scott releases her and run his fingers through her hair. “We can do this,” he says, smiling.

  She nods her head and slides into the car, watching him walk back to the underground parking entrance.

  “Alexa Drake, I’ve waited so long to tell you how I feel about you. I didn’t even know how I felt until you were gone.”~ Scotty

  She lifts her coffee to her lips and sips. It’s cold. Right now, she can’t even summon the desire to be pissed off about it. Martina will have some fresh for her.

  She looks out the window as they drive to her office. All of London is preparing for the Christmas season and for the first time in ages, she starts to actually look forward to it. She never imagined that she would be spending it with Scott Patrick again. Maybe this year, we can do more than just
fuck all day.

  “We’re here, Miss Drake,” Simon announces and he pulls up front to her office building.

  “Thank you, Simon. I’ll call when you can come pick me up. I’m not sure what time I’ll be leaving today.”

  “Yes, ma’am.” Simon comes around and opens her door. She walks inside feeling different somehow. What is this–happiness?

  As the elevator doors open to her floor, she notices that everyone is staring at her again. This is unusual but after the last time they saw her, she can understand. Not to mention she’s nearly an hour late and she is NEVER late. She enters the room slowly, then surprising everyone, takes off her sunglasses and says, “Good morning, everyone.” She’s met with stares and soft gasps as she continues to walk towards her office. When she gets there, Martina is standing in the doorway, her mouth hanging open.

  “Morning, boss. Are you okay?”

  “Of course I’m okay. Can’t a girl greet people in the morning?” Alexa asks.

  “Sure you can. It’s just that you never have before. I think everyone is in shock. Coffee?”

  “Yes, please. I was so late the coffee Simon got me was cold.” Her tone is so pleasant Martina wonders if she’s on medication or something.

  “And you’re okay with that?” Martina asks.

  “Well, I would have preferred it to be hot certainly, but I was the one that was late.”

  She shrugs out of her coat and hands it to Martina before taking her place behind her desk. She looks around the room, recalling the scene that took place the day before. What a difference a day can make.

  “Anything important happening this morning, Martina?”

  The assistant shakes her head. “No, you don’t have any meetings today. It’s your catch up day, remember?” Martina can’t help but wonder what is going on with Alexa. This woman never misses a beat and now it’s like she doesn’t know what day of the week it is.
