THE Question...

***WARNING Sexual content. 18 years+ only*** My eyes flicker to the various monitors as I watch Alexander’s mom walk through the rooms of the apartment and out his front door. I don’t move until I witness her stepping on to the elevator and the doors closing. Letting out a breath I didn’t even realize I was holding, I sink into the black leather swivel chair.

“Holy shit,” I breathe out as her words still ring in my ears.

Was that woman threatening my life? Alexander needs to have her arrested.

After a minute of replaying the scene a few times in my head I get up and leave the security room and make my way back toward the dining room. Once I turn the corner in the hallway I see Alexander walking from the opposite end, toward me. His eyes glued to the floor in deep thought, not noticing me coming toward him. I creep closer and finally he lifts his gaze and stops. There is pain etched into his features and I want to run to him. Hold him in my arms and tell him all will be fine, but it won’t will it.

As I approach he pulls me into a firm embrace. I nuzzle my head into his chest and feel the tension in his muscles. The rhythm of his heartbeat making me feel safe, but what about him? His loud sigh and firm touch telling me my touch is doing very little to ease his worry.

“Do you mind if we go sit in the living room Aria?”

I nod and look up into his solemn face. Once we are in the living room, Alexander kneels in front of me as I sit on the suede couch, wrapping his arms around my waist, hugging my stomach. I gently glide my hands through his soft black hair.

“What are you going to do?” I ask him.

His head pops up, his eyes wide in surprise.

“Did you hear her?”

“Yes. I wondered into your security room. I didn’t do it on purpose, just exploring while you were busy. The door happened to be open.”

Alexander tightens his jaw while nodding.

“Anyway, did you know you can pretty much hear everything in your office from the vent in the security room?”

“No. I did not know that.”

Alexander sighs and reaches up to the back of his neck, rubbing the tight muscles.

“Did you hear the part about my dad?”

I nod and try to swallow to alleviate my tightening throat.

“And what she said about you? I mean, how she talked about you Aria.”

He keeps his eyes slanted away, refusing to meet mine.

“Yes, Alexander. I really think you need to call the police or at least a lawyer. You need protection from her, she is not mentally stable. She basically admitted to killing your father and his girlfriend.”

He buries his head in my lap squeezing my middle.

“You can’t just ignore this Alexander. I get the feeling she isn’t the type of woman to take the hint and stay away.”

His arms tense around my waist as his lips press into my thigh. Alexander’s hand slides from my back to the hem of my black and white leaf print A-line skirt. His fingers curl and dig into my flesh. Suddenly there is teeth nipping at the tender flesh of my inner thigh. I gasp at the sharp pain and then moan as it turns into a warm ache.

“I don’t want to think anymore Aria, I just want to fall into you.” His hot breath adds warmth to my already damp white cotton panties.

My head falls back as his tongue presses the cotton fabric against my core. Curling my fingers into his hair as his groan sends vibrations through me, adding to the erotic sensation.

“I need these gone.” Alexander hastily tugs at my cotton briefs, peeling them down my legs and tossing them aside, before returning to my gratification. Two of his fingers slip inside me causing my back to arch for more, for friction.

I still want to talk about his mother but his distraction technique is the best I have ever come across. A hot guy between my legs and I suddenly don’t care that a deranged woman threatened to kill me.

“Oh Alexander. Yea.” I sing song the words as the pace of his movements pick up and his tongue begins to play with my clit.

There is something about the fear of being killed and then the sudden 180 degree turn of events into sex that seems to really heighten the pleasure. Perhaps it’s the adrenalin still coursing through my veins but I can already feel my orgasm racing toward its peak.

Just then he lifts his head panting as his thumb takes over for his missing tongue.

“Aria, come live with me.”

My eyes bulged in surprise and I’m so close I can’t wrap my head around his words.

“What?”

Alexander pushes up my pink blouse and peels back the white cotton cup of my bra twisting my nipple, flooding me with bliss.

“Move in with me. Curl up with me in this cave and stay. I just want to be with you Aria.”

I don’t know if it is the shock of his words or how his thumb nudges me just right but I come, hard. My body shuddering as I call out his name. I reach for his shirt tugging him to me to taste his lips. The spicy flavor covering his mouth, his scent mixed with mine, keeps my orgasm going. As I start to fade back into reality his words start to hit me at full force.

“I don’t know Alexander. I haven’t known you that long,” I push myself back up so my ass isn’t hanging off the couch. “Besides, I have a roommate. I don’t think she would be happy to come back from New York to find the apartment empty.”

I give a small chuckle but Alexander frowns.

“I understand Aria. I’m just afraid, now that I found you I’m going to lose you.”

I pat the spot next to me and he moves off the floor to sit. Curling myself into his lap I sigh.

“Why would you lose me Alexander? Does this have to do with what your mother was talking about? The deal?”

“Yes.”

“What is the deal?”

He is silent and I can feel his muscles tense around me. I pull away slightly to look into his eyes, they are glassy. There is an intense worry in his face.

“I can’t tell you that Aira. It’s best you don’t know.” His words seem to torture him as he speaks.

As much as his mom’s words worried me before, Alexander's actions and what he is saying frighten me more so.

“Why are you...would she really try to kill me?”

I stare into his eyes, his silence telling me everything I need to know. After a minute, he nuzzles into my neck, tightening his arms around me.

“Please, just stay with me.”
