Bad Boy Alphas Collection Page 8

  From my vantage point, I craned my neck in time to see Evan gave her a one-hundred-watt smile. “Is Lexi home?”

  Leanna opened the door slightly wider and gestured for him to come in. I swiftly turned my attention back to the TV and pretended to be occupied. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Evan tentatively walk in and give a quick cursory glance around the living room.

  It wasn’t much, but it was a comfortable living room. Leanna and I had done our best to make sure our two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment was as cozy as possible. With its assorted furniture, and its wide screen TV, it was delightfully mismatched, as my mother would like to call it.

  I liked to think of it as quirky, and I wondered what it looked like through Evan’s eyes. With his vintage style cottage, this place must’ve looked different.

  “I’m heading out to the store to buy a few things Lexi, so I’m going to take the car, okay?” Leanna announced as she grabbed her purse off the counter.

  I shot Leanna a death glare from my spot on the couch which she pretended to ignore. The door slammed shut behind her with a resounding sound that echoed between us making the silence even more pronounced.

  “Hey,” Evan said, quietly as he shoved his hands in his pocket.

  “Hello,” I said, stiffly as I straightened my back and gave him a steely look.

  “The Voice, huh?” He inclined his head towards the TV.

  “Yes.”

  “My sister is a huge fan,” he added.

  “Cool.” I responded.

  I didn’t even know he had a sister. Yet another thing I can add to the long list of details I didn’t know about Evan. I knew my responses were short and brief, but I had no desire to be hurt again.

  And I had a feeling going down this road with Evan would bring me nothing but hurt, and I didn’t want to be in that position again.

  “Can I sit down?”

  I cleared my throat as I gestured around me. “Sure, sit wherever you like.”

  I sounded suffocatingly polite, but I couldn’t help it. My manners were kicking in when I wanted nothing more than to kick him out and go back to the relative safety of my couch and TV.

  He plopped onto the couch next to me, and it shifted beneath his weight. He was careful to keep a few feet between us, which was smart considering I didn’t know how I felt.

  “So….” he began then trailed off.

  “So,” I prompted as I turned my attention to him.

  He looked uncomfortable and nervous which was a new look to him. I had seen a lot of sides to Evan. Sexy and domineering. Quiet and polite. Charming and flirty.

  This was another layer I had yet to discover.

  “Look, about this morning. I know I was way out of line, and I have no excuse for saying what I said. I didn’t even mean it. It meant more to me than that, and I hope you know that,” he said, sincerely, his green eyes apologetic.

  “Okay.”

  “I was a monumental jackass, and you were right. I was afraid, but that didn’t give me the right to take it out on you,” he explained as he began to scratch the back of his neck.

  I pressed my mouth into a thin line. “Look, Evan, I’m not going to make this into something it’s not. I’m not that type of women who’s going to assume things just because we had sex. I think we’re both mature enough to talk about these things. There is one thing I will not accept though, and that’s lying of any kind.”

  “I understand.” He nodded. “And I completely agree.”

  “We’re on the same page then.”

  “Yes, and just so you know.” He shifted, so he was closer to me. “I don’t think it was just sex.”

  I blinked, not expecting that answer. “Oh.”

  Evan gave me a slow sensual grin as he took my hand in his and began to run the pad of his thumb over my skin. “I want you, Lexi, all of you. I meant what I said about wanting you to be mine.”

  “Evan I—” I swallowed. “I don’t know if I can give you what you want. I’ve never been with a guy like you before. So completely I mean.”

  Evan studied me thoughtfully. “I get that, but I think you want me too, and if you do, then we can try to make this work. You were right about that woman from before. She is a part of my history, and for reasons I’ll tell you about someday, she is part of my present too.”

  I was surprised at the sudden bout of jealousy that coursed through me. I considered myself a reasonable woman. Of course he had a past with someone. Most people did. It was him having a present with her that I wasn’t too comfortable with.

  But he was honest about it, and that was something.

  “Not that kind of present,” he hastened to add upon reading the expression on my face. “We just have a complicated history that binds us together, but we are not together like that. I am not a man who likes polygamous relationships.”

  I breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s not my kind of thing either, so thank God for that.”

  He gave me a rueful grin. “I plan on having you all to myself, Lexi.”

  I gave him a small smile. “Is that so?”

  “Yes,” he insisted. “I am not going to play games with you, Lexi. This may be fueled in part by desire, but there’s a lot more to it than that, and I think you feel it too.”

  “I don’t know, Evan.” I used my free hand to run it through my hair. “I’ve been hurt a lot before, and I’m just not sure I’m ready to go down that road again with someone else.”

  “I’m not someone else, and if you give me a chance, I’ll prove that to you.” Evan moved, so he was even closer, and there was not an inch of space between us.

  “I know you felt it when I was inside of you, when you were wrapped around me so completely that we couldn’t tell where one began and the other ended,” Evan whispered into my ear.

  I shivered in response as my grip on his hand tightened.

  “Tell me you didn’t feel it, Lexi, and then this would be a completely different conversation,” Evan urged, his voice like smooth butter.

  I shook my head. “I did feel it.”

  “Do you have any idea how much I want you right now?” Evan began to nibble on my lower earlobe. “Ever since I laid eyes on you, you’re all I’ve been able to see or hear or want. From the very first time you started taking my photo, and you stared at me with those piercing hazel eyes, and you took your bottom lip between your teeth.”

  “Really?” I asked, surprised. “I thought you just tolerated me since you barely talked to me.”

  Evan gave me an apologetic smile. “It was only because I was afraid to be around you because of the way I felt. Lexi, I know there’s still a lot to learn about each other, and there are some things that when I share, you may not like, but just for now, can we have this moment to ourselves?”

  I hesitated as I thought about what he was saying. One more night of mind-numbing bliss where we only gave our bodies to each other until the morning light. Then when morning came, things might be different.

  I wasn’t sure how I felt about hiding away like that, but when I looked at him, I knew that I wanted the same. One night of being just Lexi, and just Evan. Two people who like each other without the complicated baggage that comes from showing someone the skeletons in your closet.

  I gently extracted my finger from his and wrapped it around his neck. Before he could ask me what I was doing, I crashed my lips to his. I registered his surprise through the kiss as he sat stunned for a minute, unsure of how to respond.

  Soon, he began to react to my kiss as his hands went to my lower waist, and he growled against the kiss. One of his hands traveled up to plunge themselves in my hair, and he yanked on it to pull me back.

  I stared at him through hooded eyes as he began to attack my neck. “God, Lexi I’m so damn horny right now with just one look.”

  I bit down on my bottom lip as I noticed the tent at the front of his pants. I smirked as I began to stroke him through the fabric of his jeans. He grunted at the contact as his hands ripped
apart my sweater.

  I gasped as he tossed it to the side of the room and unhooked my bra in one swift movement. He began to suck and nibble on my breasts with renewed frenzy as I pushed myself closer to him, so that we were chest to chest with only the clothes on our backs separating us.

  “I can smell your arousal, Lexi. You want me bad, don’t you princess?”

  I bobbed my head up and down, unable to formulate any sentences as my brain receded behind a cloud of hazy desire.

  “I want you nice and wet for me before I go in,” Evan snarled as he held my hands in a vice like grip. “No cheating now.”

  I began to wriggle my hips against his suggestively. He grinned against my neck. “You’re a naughty girl who just won’t listen, Lexi, and you need to be punished.”

  “Wh—” Before I could finish my question, Evan flipped me over, and I could feel him bind my hands against my back, so that I was completely at his mercy. He brought his hand up and spanked it against my ass hard.

  I groaned at the contact as my hips rose off the couch. I could feel his body pressed against my back, and I twisted my neck to see him hover over me with a hungry look in his eyes. He leaned down and captured my lips with his. I angled my body to the side, so that I could have better access to his mouth as his tongue plunged in.

  I whimpered as the tip of his tongue touched mine, and we began a battle for dominance. A sensual dance that continued with him running his hands over every inch of available skin until my entire body felt scorching hot beneath him.

  “Evan,” I breathed against his mouth.

  “Lexi, my Lexi, just like the song,” Evan muttered as he began to rotate his hips against my backside causing my hands to strain against their binds. Evan chuckled as he pushed my arms forward, so that they were above my head. He began to press feather light kisses atop my shoulder as his hands cupped my butt and squeezed.

  I could barely breathe straight as wave after wave of desire crashed through me like a tsunami gaining momentum. My breath caught in my throat as I felt his hands reached underneath me to cup my breasts and flick the sensitive nub.

  A strangled sound escaped my lips as I heard the sound of his jeans being yanked off.

  Chapter Seven

  My bulge was straining uncomfortable against my boxer shorts as I kicked off my jeans and took a moment to admire the fact that Lexi was not only naked beneath me, but she was also completely at my mercy.

  The feral cavemen within me roared in satisfaction as I lifted her butt up and began to kiss it. Soon my tongue darted out and I bit into each cheek over the fabric of her sweatpants. A frustrated noise escaped my lips as I slipped the sweatpants off, so they were pooled around her ankles, and her butt was fully exposed to me.

  Lexi squeaked in surprise as she tilted her head around to look at me, a surprised expression on her face. “What are you doing?”

  “What does it look like I’m doing?” I asked as I ran the edge of my face against her lower half, knowing how good stubble can feel against naked skin.

  Goosebumps broke out across her flesh, and I smirked. “I’ve never seen that many goosebumps before.”

  “I’ve never been in this position before,” Lexi responded, breathlessly. It was the hottest thing I’d ever heard tumble forth from a woman’s lips. Lexi just exuded a natural sex appeal, and I was surprised that no man had ever explored that. I was also secretly pleased that I got to be the one to show her what that felt like.

  “I plan on showing you a lot of positions, baby.” I lightly grazed my teeth over her firm ass, taking a moment to appreciate the smooth feel of it.

  “I can’t wait.” She gasped as my tongue slid in and licked along the inner walls of her backside. “Evan, I—I’ve never had full anal before.”

  I froze. “Do you want me to stop? Anal can be painful if you aren’t well prepared.”

  She shook her head, empathically. “No, I want to try with you.”

  I made a noise in the back of my throat as I lowered my head. “Such a dirty girl.”

  “I am with you,” She whispered as she tried to use the back of her legs to keep me in place. I smiled against her neck as I reached down and positioned myself right above her entrance.

  “Too many clothes,” Lexi complained. “Why?”

  “That’s because I don’t want you to come just yet. I want you to feel me pressed up against you, driving you closer and closer to the edge, but not allowing you to tumble over until I say so.”

  With that, I thrust my hips forward, and I heard her sharp intake of breath as her body responded by wriggling underneath me. I took a deep breath and tried to ignore the roaring in my ears, and the strain that was begging me to just take her now and be done with it.

  No, I would not do that.

  She deserved to be teased properly.

  “How does it feel?” I asked.

  “Good.”

  “Just good? That will never do.” I helped her take off the rest of her sweatpants as I began to kiss the outer edge of her thighs, pausing every so often to spank her ass or squeeze her nipples.

  The smell of her sweet juices permeated my nostrils, and I took a deep whiff of it. She smelled amazing!

  My cock twitched against my boxer shorts, and I shifted to adjust them as I continued what I was doing. When I could no longer take it anymore, I pushed off my boxers and kicked them away.

  I slowly began to ease myself into her, groaning as I sunk deeper and deeper. Lexi stilled against me, and not a single noise escaped her lips.

  “Are you okay?” I asked as I struggled to hold myself still while she adjusted to the feeling. I knew that it took a while, and I was also aware that if I pushed too hard, it would hurt her too much, and she wouldn’t enjoy it.

  That was the last thing I wanted.

  She sucked in a breath, and her voice came out sounding slightly hoarse as if she’d been running. “Yeah. Yes, I’m okay.”

  “I’m going to go slowly because I want you to get used to the feeling, okay? But once you do, I’m going to bury myself deep inside of you because it’s so fucking hard to maintain control right now,” I mumbled against her skin.

  I felt her body tighten in response.

  Slowly, I began to move until Lexi was comfortable enough to begin easing herself backwards and onto me. I grabbed both of her butt cheeks in my hand to keep them in place as I shoved myself in slightly deeper.

  “I want to look at your face,” I said, suddenly as I stopped and pulled out. I flipped her over, and her eyes were shut closed, a look of breathless pleasure etched onto her face.

  “Look at me, Lexi.” I commanded. Her eyes fluttered open, twin pools of lava hot desire as they gazed at me. I throbbed in response. “I want you to look at me while I take you, while I claim you as mine.”

  “I am yours,” She responded, in a daze.

  I quickly undid the binds on her hand and interlaced her fingers with mine. “Good because I’m all yours.”

  One hand squeezed mine while the other reached around, and she used the tip of her fingernails to trail it along my butt. I grunted as I pushed her legs open and entered her. Her gaze met mine, and I kept it firmly fastened on her as I eased backwards then slammed into her.

  Lexi’s cry of pleasure rang throughout my ears as I gripped the edge of the couch. A thin sheen of sweat broke out across my back as Lexi’s hands began to move all over my back, unknowingly whipping me into a frenzy. When her nails dug into my back, I made a low guttural noise as I dug my teeth into her neck.

  Suddenly, the front door flew open, and Leanna stepped inside.

  “Hey guys, I’m just—”

  Lexi yelped as she pushed me away and scrambled for her sweatpants.

  “Oh for the love of all that is holy,” Leanna grumbled as she grimaced. Her eyes squinted shut, and she placed her hand atop them. “On the couch, really?”

  I rolled off of Lexi and grabbed my jeans and slipped them on.

  “Sorry, Lea,” Lexi
called out from the other side of the room where she had her back turned to me as she grabbed a random jacket from the floor and slipped it on. She looked confused as she realized that it wasn’t hers nor Leanna’s.

  It barely covered her ass, but it gave me an ample view of her legs, and it took a lot of self control for me not to drag her across the house to her room to finish what we started. I clenched my hands into fists as I ran my hands through my hair.

  “Are you two decent?” Leanna asked.

  “Yeah, don’t worry,” Lexi assured her.

  “Worry?” Leanna removed her hands and gave us both a dirty look. “Why would I worry? It’s not like you two will be going at it like bunnies on the couch. Oh, wait, you two have already done that.”

  Lexi blushed as she gave her friend an apologetic look. “Sorry you had to walk in on that.”

  “I think I have an image of you two seared into my brain for the rest of my life. Excuse me while I gouge my eyes out.”

  I chuckled. “That’s my fault, Leanna. I couldn’t keep my hands to myself I’m afraid.”

  Leanna shot me an amused look. “While I am glad to hear that you two have sorted things out, a) I don’t want to hear about those kinds of details with regards to my best friend and b) there’s a bedroom inside hence the term get a room.”

  “Well, we were heading there,” I said as I shoved my hands into my pockets.

  “Uh huh, and what happened? Did you trip over your clothes on the way?” Leanna teased.

  Lexi flushed an even deeper shade of red as she ducked her head and pretended to busy herself with unloading the bag of groceries that Leanna had.

  It made me grin even more as I shrugged. “Not exactly. What can I say? Your friend is irresistible. She’s also cute as hell when she’s flustered.”

  Leanna began to laugh as she glanced between the two us. “Oh, I like him. Alright lover boy, you’re off the hook for now, but just for the record, I feel the urge to burn that couch, so you are going to buy us a new one, right?”

  Lexi stared at her friend in horror. “Lea! Of course not. I’ll do—”
