Love, Lies, and Deception(45)



Alec laughed, and for once it sounded carefree. I could tell he was excited about going home, but I didn’t want him to go. “No, Marissa, we wouldn’t be staying at my parent’s. I do have enough money to have my own house you know.”

“Hey, I didn’t know. You never told me you still had a house there,” I remarked, throwing my hands up in the air.

Pausing, I stood there and really thought about where I’d be going. It was somewhere that I wasn’t accustomed to, and somewhere that definitely wasn’t like the place I grew up in. My shoulders sagged and I sighed, shaking my head. “You know I’m not going to fit in there, Alec. Are you sure this is what you want? I wear flip flops, not stilettos. The press will tear me apart if they see me with you.”

Alec’s gaze darkened. “Yes, this is what I want. I don’t care about the press or what they have to say, Marissa. I love the way you are, and there’s nothing I would do to change that. You’re going to have all those girls out there jealous as hell when they see you even if you are in your T-shirts and jeans.”

Taking my face in his hands, he traced his tongue lightly over my lips. He moaned deep in his throat, gripping my hips. “Please say you’ll come with me. I need to hear you say you’ll come.”

Biting my lip, I peeked up at him through hooded eyes. Hoping he’d catch my meaning, I ran my finger up his arm and teased, “Well, then I guess you better stop wasting time if you want me to come.” The fire in his eyes told me he knew what I meant. The night might’ve been ruined by unknown threats, but at least I had him … if only for a short while, I had him.

Alec scooped me up and carried me to his room. “I’m not going to know what to do without you for the next week,” he said as he laid me down on his bed. Smiling, he slid off my shoes and socks while I unbuttoned my jeans. “But I’m sure you’ll be too busy with your exams to even think about me.”

“I doubt that,” I retorted incredulously, sliding my pants down my legs. “I’ll be surprised if I even get anything done while you’re gone.”

Alec lifted his shirt and pulled it off before discarding his jeans on the floor. I threw my shirt and jeans next to his, but kept my bra and underwear on. He climbed up on the bed, resting up against my side, and put his arm across my stomach. My body instantly responded to his touch, and I craved it; I wanted him inside me.

“What will you be doing in California?” I asked skeptically. I sure hope it didn’t involve clubs, drugs, and women.

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “First, I’ll spend some time with my family. They haven’t seen me in a while, so I know they’ll want to catch up. Second, I’ll meet with the investigator and see what he can find out about Lindsey’s past and who could be trying to sabotage me.”

Being serious, but in a joking manner I asked, “You’re not going to the clubs and getting into bar fights are you?”

Alec laughed and tickled my side, making me giggle and squirm away. “Hell no, you have nothing to worry about. I’ll probably spend most of my time surfing, and counting down the days until you show up.”

“Good answer,” I muttered approvingly.

Gliding his hand down my leg, he traced his finger over my inner thigh and then palmed me gently, making my breath hitch. He circled my nub with his thumb, and my underwear instantly grew wet. “Wow, that didn’t take long,” he chuckled huskily.

I turned to him and bit my lip. “It never does when I’m with you.”

“What time is your first exam in the morning?”

I knew my schedule like the back of my hand. “Ten o’clock,” I replied.

Alec and I both glanced at the clock and he winced … it was midnight. “It’s okay,” I reassured him. “I’ll ace it with only three hours of sleep if I have to, but right now I want you to make love to me. I need to feel you inside me.”

Groaning, Alec ripped off my underwear and unhooked my bra. “It drives me crazy when you say things like that. I promise not to keep you up all night long.”

He climbed on top of me and held my face in his hands as he spread open my legs. Without wasting any time, he entered me as deep as he could in one hard thrust. I cried out in both pleasure and pain, whimpering.

“Fuck, this feels good,” he moaned, holding my knees up close to my body so he could push his cock in further. Alec’s mouth crushed against mine, devouring me with his tongue. He tasted salty from the beer he drank, but underneath all that was Alec … spicy and all male. He nipped my lower lip and sucked hard making it sting.

Arching off the bed, I lifted my breasts in the air so he would show them some attention. They were heavy and sensitive, and all I wanted was for him to touch me. Alec purred, clutching my hands, and pinned them above my head.

“Do you like it when I do this?” he asked, teasing a nipple with a flick of his tongue.

“Yes,” I breathed.

“What about this?” He bit down firmly, and sucked harder while pushing deeper inside me.

I screamed out and rocked my hips against him, bringing the orgasm closer to the surface. “Holy hell,” I moaned, licking my lips and wishing I could touch him. He stilled between my legs and my orgasm slowly started to ebb. No, I want it to come back.

“Tell me you want more and I’ll keep going.”
