The Seduction of Alex Parker(12)
The tips of her fingers massaged my temples in a way I’d never felt before. Her hands roamed from my temples to my forehead and then over my entire head, massaging in circles and pressing down with her thumbs. I was in heaven and it was taking everything I had in me not to turn around, grab her, and kiss that sassy mouth of hers.
“Tell me about Thailand,” I spoke, trying to get my cock to go down.
“It was beautiful.”
“How long were you there?”
“About six months. I learned this special massage technique from a healer there. I wasn’t feeling well and had collapsed outside of the hotel I was staying at. He and his wife were walking past and helped me. They took me to their home and I ended up staying with them as their guest until I left. He taught me various healing techniques and his wife and I cooked together. She taught me some things and I taught her things I learned in Tuscany. They were very nice people.”
“Why did you leave?”
“As beautiful as it was, my time there was up and I needed to move on. Now no more questions. I’m almost done.”
I took in a deep breath as she continued to work her magic on my headache. How in the world could she have traveled so much at her age, and not to mention the fact that she traveled alone, which was unsafe and dangerous for a young woman.
She removed her hands from my head and gripped my shoulders. “There. How do you feel?”
“Wow. My headache is gone.” I turned and looked at her.
“Good.” She winked as she removed her hands from my shoulders.
Without even thinking, I grabbed her hand. “Thank you,” I spoke as I stared into her eyes.
“You’re welcome. It’s the least I could do since you’re letting me stay here and you’re letting me cook for you. That right there is an honor.”
That smart sarcastic mouth of hers was going to get her in trouble with me. I let go of her hand and she jumped in the pool.
“Would you like to race?” she asked with a smile.
Staring at her as the water glistened on her tan skin, I got up and jumped in.
“You’re on, James.”
“First one to make it back here has to cook breakfast in the morning,” she said with a whimsical tone.
“I don’t cook.”
“You will tomorrow if I win. Ready...set...go!”
We did a full lap to the other side of the pool and turned around and headed back. She was fast and ahead of me. She made it to the other side first. When I came up, she was grinning from ear to ear.
“Are you some kind of f*cking swimming champion I don’t know about?”
She bit down on her bottom lip and my cock twitched.
“Maybe just a national champion for my school.”
“Jesus, Emerson. You couldn’t have told me that?”
“Then it wouldn’t have been fun. Looks like you’re cooking breakfast tomorrow!” she exclaimed.
As she started to climb out of the pool, I grabbed her waist and pulled her down into my arms. What the f*ck am I doing? She wrapped her arms around my neck and stared at me.
“I already told you that I don’t cook.”
“A bet is a bet.”
“You made the bet. I didn’t agree to it.” I stared at her lips. She wasn’t pulling away from me. Control yourself, Alex. She’s not your type and you’ll end up hurting her and making things awkward between you and Adam.
I let go of her. “I’m going to head to bed. I’ll see you in the morning.” I climbed out of the pool, grabbed my towel, and went inside the house.
****
Emerson
I sighed as I watched him walk away. He wanted to kiss me. I could tell by the way he was staring at my mouth. Not to mention the fact that I noticed he was hard as I was massaging his head. If he would have kissed me, I wouldn’t have minded. There was a part of me that would have welcomed it. He was unlike anyone I’d ever met before and, for some dumb reason, I was attracted to him in a weird sort of way.
I dried myself off, and as I headed to my bedroom, Alex was walking up the stairs.
“Goodnight, Alex,” I spoke.

Alex
I stopped on the stairs and clenched my fists. “Emerson,” I called out to her.
“Yes.” She stood in front of the stairs, looking up at me.
I slowly walked down until I approached her. “I don’t want you walking around this house in your bikini or short shorts anymore. Do you understand me?”
“No, actually, I don’t. What’s wrong?”
I took in a deep breath. “It’s inappropriate.”
“So do you want me to walk around naked?” She smirked.
“No. I don’t want you to walk around naked. What the hell is the matter with you? Why would you say that?”
“Because, obviously, my clothes bother you.”
“Emerson, I’m warning you. I’ve had enough of that smart mouth of yours and if you don’t stop, I’m going to shut it for you.”
She looked at me with narrowing eyes and a small smile on her face. “I dare you.”
That was it. I lost control as I grabbed her face and smashed my mouth into hers, forcing her lips to part as my tongue entered her mouth. She placed her hands on the back of my neck as our kiss deepened. She wanted me to kiss her. Her soft lips had me hard and wanting to be inside her. I couldn’t control myself and I had to have her. Especially after that massage she gave me. I lifted her up as she wrapped her legs around me and carried her to her bedroom. Laying her on the bed, my hands groped her luscious round breasts as my mouth continued to devour hers.
