“Alex.” I whispered his name under my breath, afraid that if I called it out too loud, it would break whatever spell I was under.Although he was wearing a black mask like every other man, I could recognize those blue orbs shining like a glow bulb and that jawline anywhere; it was so sharp that it could cut through me, and I would probably thank him.He was now standing in front of me, and I inched my body to face him, but the greatest shock happened to me.This man stood in front of me and gave me a once-over. His face was blank like a tabularazza, not revealing anything, and I don’t know if he was bored or just disinterested.Alex brushed my arm ever so slightly, and he walked past me. Yes, you heard me. This son of a gun had the guts to walk past me after he had pretty much undressed me with his eyes.I stood there, transfixed, my jaw almost hanging open in shock. I was quick to recover, and I closed my mouth, shaking my head. I scanned through the crowd, looking around to see if a
“Ruby, a word.” Alex said as he neared me, ignoring the man who was standing beside me. I looked at him with a scowl on my face.My initial admiration had disappeared, and now I was just angry. Who was he to just order me around? Is that how to talk to someone you have been ignoring the whole night?“Knight, I didn’t think you’d bother yourself with events like this.” Elijah said, looking up at him. Alex was only slightly taller than him, but the way he stood, you would think he was more than a foot taller.“What I bother with is none of your business.” Alex retorted, barely sparing a glance at the young man. From the static electricity that was sizzling between them, I knew they weren’t exactly the best of friends.“It is my charity business, and you are here, so I am concerned.” Elijah said in a nonchalant tone. I could already sense the rivalry between the two men; it didn’t start today, and I didn’t want to be in the midst of it.I turned on my heel, ready to leave them to their ‘
“I am going to kiss you.” Alex whispered in my ears, and my breath caught in my throat, surprised by what he had said. He gave me a moment to brace myself before he came onto me.His hands circled around my waist, and he pulled me closer until I was just a breath away from him. I was so close to him that I could perceive the mouthwash he had used.He leaned closer to me, little by little, just so I could feel the rising tension between us and the growing electricity we were generating.His hands were on my nape, and he held me closer—so close that whenever I took a breath, my breasts pressed against his chest.My eyes fluttered shut as his lips came closer, and I was almost sighing in relief as they touched mine in what I term a sweet harmony, and he kissed me.Alex kissed me like a starving man who had just seen food and had been given a time limit for him to finish it; if not, they were going to take it away from him.I reciprocate the gesture, giving him everything and not withholdi
We entered his house, and he reached for the light switch and turned it on. With the sudden emergence of light, I was overwhelmed, and I wrapped my arms around me, folding into myself.My mind wandered to Jeremy, and I could imagine the look on his face when it was time to go home and he discovered I wasn’t around. He would be so disappointed.“Should we go upstairs to my room?” Alex suggested, and I was nodding my head. Jeremy could wait a little longer. I will deal with him when the time comes.“Sure.” I let him lead the way, even though I was no stranger to this house. There was something feminine about a man taking charge, and I wouldn’t want to take that role.My eyes scanned the house as I moved, trying to take note of anything different, but nothing much has changed since I last came here. Aside from the new painting, there was no difference.Even the placement of things was the same.We came to the familiar mahogany door, and he pushed it open for me to enter. “Thank you.” I s
"Indeed, you are beautiful.” I said as I beheld this caliber of man. Men like Alex were a rare find in the world we live in. Men that embrace their masculinity as a part of them, and when you see them, everything in you just wants to worship them.My pussy throbbed as I looked at him, lowering my eyes gradually to the v of his waistline, where there was a little sprinkling of dark hair.He must have shaved it recently, because the hair there was sparse and gosh, I was in love. The little hair extended to the base of his cock, and it reminded me of a bush path clearing. Okay, maybe that wasn’t the right description for it, but I don’t know how I was going to describe something as majestic as that.“Do you like what you see?” Alex teases me as he sees me devouring him whole, and I couldn’t talk. I could only nod as my mouth was already watering at the thought of getting busy soon.I did the only thing befitting someone like him—a king like him, and I was going down on my knees. Alex tr
“I love you.” I heard Alex say it in my subconscious, as I was about to fall asleep, but I was waking up early to go.If Jeremy had found out I had left to see Alex, it wasn’t going to end well, so I had to be discreet.I could always tell him that I left the party early because I was tired and wanted to rest. That was a more plausible lie, but he may catch on, if I come around sleeping like sexIt was difficult for me to stand up because Alex had decided that strangling me was the only way he could sleep comfortably.I held my breath as I untangled myself from him. His sleep pattern usually alternates from heavy sleeper to light sleeper, depending on how tired he is.I had hoped I was able to wear him out so he could sleep deeply. I had accomplished the impossible and had untangled myself from his chokehold; it was now time to look for the cloth that was left.I began to look for my clothes that had been flung at one point in time during our session. Because why did I find my pants v
“Alex?” Jeremy looked at the man that had come in with me, and he looked at me. The frown on his face was enough to tell me that he wasn’t approving of my company.But trust Alex not to care. “Hey Jerry, how are you doing?” He said quite cheerfully even waving at him, but Jeremy’s frown only seemed to deepen.Alex was purposely baiting him because Jeremy hated being called Jerry and the fact that he was here with us was probably annoying him.“What are you doing here?” Jeremy asked as he kept looking at both of us. He looked at me, still dressed in yesterday’s outfit, but my makeup was smudged, and he gave me a knowing look. He turned to look at Alex, who was wearing his casual outfit , and he knew something was up.“I was only dropping off Ruby; I didn’t know her personal guard was here.” Alex said, and I looked at him sharply, trying to discourage him from whatever he was trying to doWay to go Alex. It was obvious he was just trying to rile him up, and Jeremy was aware of this fac
We finished explaining our plans, but Charles didn’t seem to be happy with what he had heard. “There is not enough progress. If we continue like this, there is no way we can take this from Knight.”“Agreed, we need more brute force if we want this to work.” I said, nodding my head. After meeting up with Alex, I was reluctant to continue this project because I knew just how much it meant to him.But business was business, and the first rule of business was not to mix it with pleasure. Something I had clearly ignored.“What is the way forward?” Jeremy asked the question that had been on our minds.“I will be meeting the governor in two days, and I should be able to convince him of our company. Meanwhile, there is a private dinner taking place at the mayor’s home, and we have been invited. Naturally, you all will be with me, and we could see how we can get this ball rolling.”“Alright, I am down for whatever we need.” I said, and the rest nodded their heads in agreement. The discussion mo
