Is this his way of telling me he likes me? Good grief, how do I respond? Luckily, he already coached me on this during our gym session. Focus on the physical, at least to help the ice thaw a little between us.

“You could just come up to me. I don’t bite,” I tell him. “You’re never going to know unless you try.” Alex is speechless, though it wasn’t my intention. Seconds pass in heavy, strangely loaded silence until I manage to try and change the subject in my usual, awkward manner. “Anyway, thanks for the first session, chief! I’ll see you again on Friday!”

“See you…”

I think he wants to say more but nothing else comes out. I feel his eyes on me as I walk toward my front porch, heat rising and bubbling in the back of my throat as I wonderhad I missed something? A signal he gave me and I failed to seize the opportunity? No, he would’ve said something, he would’ve done something. Maybe it was all in my head and Alex is just being friendly, trying to tell me that he likes me, that he takes an interest in me.

“Maeve, hold on,” his voice has me spinning on my heels right outside the front door—and just in time, too, as his lips catch mine in an unexpected kiss.

I instantly find myself melting and opening up to welcome his affection. I moan softly as he cups my face and deepens the kiss, our tongues clashing and our bodies coming closer, closer, until I’m pressed against his muscular frame. He holds me tight, fingers digging into my hips as he stops for a second, only to catch his breath as I lose myself in his dark eyes.

“You never know, right?” he whispers, his lips puffy and slick.

This time, I’m the one who initiates the kiss, already hungry for more, so much more that my senses have completely abandoned me. I don’t know what’s happening or who’s even in control at this point, but I do know we both want this. Badly. His ragged breath tickles my skin as he trails soft kisses down the side of my neck.

I manage to pluck the house keys out of my jacket pocket just as he stops to nibble on my earlobe, sending a plethora of shivers down my spine. My nipples perk against the fabric of my sports bra, and his hand comes up in time for his thumb to brush over it and cause liquid heat to pool between my legs as I get us both inside. The foyer is dark and quiet. My bag hits the floor.

He grunts harshly, looking at me with a hunger in his eyes that I’ve never seen before. “I don’t want us moving too fast,” he says, “but it’s hard to hold back with you looking like this, Maeve… it’s been hard to hold back for a couple of years now.”

“Why didn’t you say anything?” I mumble, my palms resting on his chest. God, I love how his muscles tick anxiously beneath them. His heart throbs ferociously, in unison with mine. “I’ve not been indifferent, either…”

“Yeah, I can see that now,” he replies, his gaze wandering up and down my body as he licks his lips. “You have no idea what kind of woman you are, do you?”

“What do you mean?”

“Let me show you,” he says.

He comes closer, the air between us crackling with electricity as he peels my top off first. He takes a few seconds to admire my bare skin, then carefully helps me out of the bra, as well. His shirt is the next item to hit the floor, and I get to see him in his full, athletic glory for the first time. He’s had tank tops on before, and I’ve caught glimpses, but this is a completely different experience altogether. Alex has a powerful, volcanic vibe emanating from within, and I didn’t even realize it until this precise moment.

His muscles are neatly stacked, well-rounded and toned. Every flex makes my heart stop, and as soon as he takes me in his arms and damn near crushes me against his chest, I become water and bubble up, goosebumps dancing across my skin as he kisses me again. I’m soft and hot, he’s hard and strong and sizzling with desire.

Before long, his kisses move from my lips down to my collarbone. He nips the skin gently, playfully, prompting me to straighten my back just as his mouth closes around my nipple, the pink areola responding to his kiss. I can barely stand upright as I throw my arms around his neck and tilt my head back, basking in this simmering sun that is Alex Parish.

“You taste like summer,” he says as he moves his focus to my left breast, one hand coming up to feel the flesh, to fondle and squeeze and enjoy every inch of me.

“Don’t stop,” I whisper as his teeth graze and tighten, as he devours me relentlessly until I lose my balance altogether.

I don’t even register the moment my tights reach the floor. But I do register his fingers deftly pulling my thong down. I’m naked and aroused and burning for him. He stops to look at me once more, and I feel like a goddess who’s about to be worshiped in all the right ways. A smile stretches across his lips as he kisses me deeply, profoundly, hungrily even.

“Let’s take this upstairs,” I say, my voice barely a scratch.

I take his hand, and he follows me up the stairs, his gaze never leaving my ass.

“I have been wanting to do this for so long,” Alex says as we reach the bed and he turns me around to face him. He’s buck naked and hard and absolutely gorgeous. “I’ve dreamed about this moment…”

“So have I,” I reply, smiling.

His hands roam up and down my body as he takes his time getting to know me. Every inch of skin, every muscle, every curve and dimple… it’s all his to enjoy for as long as he desires as the fire in my belly burns hotter and brighter. I end up on the bed with him keeping my legs up and spread as he dives between my wet folds. The feel of his tongue sends jolts of electricity through my entire being as I moan from the insane pleasure that he’s giving me.

He licks and suckles softly. He tests the tender flesh and then his fingers work their way inside me. First one, then two, and at the third one I’m stretching and lifting my hips as he intensifies the movement while relentlessly teasing my clit. My breath leaves me as I unravel in his mouth. I cry out his name, over and over, but he never gives me a moment’s respite. He sucks every drop of my own pleasure that I have to give, my insides rippling outward until I’m ready for more.

“Take me,” I say, my voice ragged and broken.

“This would be your first time, Maeve,” he pauses to look at me, his lips glimmering with my arousal. “Are you sure you wanna take things that far?”

“I’ve been missing out on something incredible,” I tell him. “Yes, I want this. I want you. All of you.”

I mean every word. I’ve never been so sure of anything before in my life. I like Alex more than I ever thought I could, and the more time we spend together, the more I learn and discover about him, the more I want him. He nods once and comes up, his whole weight pinning me down. His full frame dominates me, and I surrender wholly as I wrap my legs around his waist.
