A Time for Hope (Lexi, #3)(57)

“Baby, you know that you don’t have to do this. I want you to be sure.” Alex looked at me sternly, reinforcing what he had already said to me so many times before.

“I know and I am sure. Make a baby with me Alex.” I pulled off his jacket and loosened his tie. He stared at me curiously as I shuffled up the bed.

“So you have been off the pill for a week?” Alex slowly unbuttoned his shirt. I watched intently as his nimble fingers moved to each buttonhole until the shirt was hanging open in front of him, revealing a sliver of toned skin underneath. He pulled off the shirt and tossed it to the floor.

“Yeah, I know we should have probably spoken about it but I guessed you would be ok with it.” I felt his hands move to my to my back and slowly unzip my dress.

“Oh I’m more than ok with it,” Alex smirked as he gently peeled the dress from my body, taking care to not catch the delicate lace on anything. He shifted from the bed before standing up and carefully draping my gown over a chair. The concession he showed my clothes was not paid to his own. I laid back down on the bed, clad only in a strapless bra and panties. I watched him hungrily stalk back to the edge of the bed. He lifted each one of my legs and delicately removed each of my shoes, placing them on the floor before kicking off his own. His hands moved to his tuxedo pants and he pulled down the zipper. “I’m guessing I need to try harder then.”

“Harder at what?” I asked as he stealthily continued to move, pushing the tuxedo pants down his legs to reveal his usual Calvin Klein trunks. I couldn’t help but stare at his incredibly toned and muscular body. He kneeled above me on the bed, his strong torso was blanketing me and I need to feel him. I reached my hand out to touch him and he captured it with his own. He pulled on our linked hands and laid them on his heart, so I could feel the strong rhythmic beat thumping underneath.

“Well you aren’t knocked up yet so I obviously need to try harder.” Alex smiled as he brought my hand to his mouth, kissing my fingers before releasing it.

“You know, I might already be pregnant. It could take a few weeks before it shows up on a test.” Alex placed his knees on either side of my body and moved his hands to my back. He kissed my bare shoulders as he unhooked my bra and tossed it casually to the side. I guess he was done being considerate with my clothes. It was underwear and all bets were off.

I lifted my head and kissed his stomach as he leaned over me. He shifted quickly, only allowing me the slightest contact before moving his attention to my panties. He kissed from one of my hips to the other, his mouth lavishing me before he took my panties between his teeth and pulled them down my legs. He discarded them on the floor with the other items of clothing that had been in the way. While it had been relatively restrained, it was possibly the most erotic thing he’d ever done. My skin burned to be touched by him, but he was taking his time.

“Well I would prefer to be sure.” Alex’s hand teased at the waistband of his boxes before he violently tore them off and tossed them aside. “And I intend to get you good and pregnant.”

Alex pressed his naked body against mine. He was already hard. The evidence of his arousal ground between my legs. He was ready, willing and very able to impregnate me and as strange as it sounded there was something incredibly sexy about that. His mouth moved to my breasts, licking each of the tips so they stood upright in pert little peaks. Despite how turned on we both were, he wouldn’t rush this. This was not just a f*ck. Alex wanted to make love to me. He licked his way back up my chest and nibbled at my neck, sadly removing his hardness from in between my legs.

I wrapped my arms around his shoulders, his muscles were firm and agile beneath my fingers. My fingernails grazed his flesh as I pulled him tightly against me, searching for the delicious friction. “I must admit, I do like your commitment to the cause.” I allowed my tongue to leisurely travel all over his neck. His thigh moved between my legs, pushing against my clit to stimulate me. My slickness coated him as he moved his thigh up and down while his hands grasped me firmly around my ass. I needed him inside of me. He was driving me mad and he knew it and if he didn’t stop soon I was going to come before we even started.

“Lexi, I just married you twice. I am nothing but committed.” Alex chuckled, his astonishing blue eyes sparkling with mischief. “Now stop running that pretty little mouth of yours. I need to make you a baby.”





Chapter 13 - Betrayal



“Lexi, does this post-it mean anything? It’s in the tour file but the name isn’t one I recognize.” Anna strode back into the office with the offending object in hand.

Matt was noticeably absent as she dumped her laptop back on her desk. Their meeting had obviously gone sourly or he had more work to do before joining her in the office. I really didn’t care to delve any further into it right now, I figured I could delay opening that can of worms.

“Huh?” I glanced up from my computer screen hoping that this wasn’t another unwelcome distraction. Surely I’d filled my quota for drama for the week?

“This post-it. It has like a name and number on it but no other information. It was just shoved into this file. Matt had no idea about it either. I wasn’t sure if it was something we’d missed or if it was just some random paper that got mixed up with the file when you had your meeting with Chris and the band.”

Oh, that post-it! The one I had completely forgotten about. The post-it, which contained the information of some guy that Chris had asked me to call, with some kind of alternative therapy. The word boot-camp rattled around in my head. Like I needed anyone else telling me what to do.
