Neglected Desires

Chapter 2

"Alexa?" His smooth voice rang in my ears, finally pulling me out of my stupor. "Have you heard a single word I've said?" That all too familiar voice was dripping with a mixture of annoyance and concern, but his face only showed concern. I suddenly realized I'd been nervously chewing on my bottom lip and it felt as though my brow was knit together tightly.

"I'm so sorry." My words came out in a rush of breath I didn't know I'd been holding. I forced my face to soften under his intense gaze. "I just, my mind wandered, I don't even know why." I smiled nervously as I watched his left hand each out to push a stray hair behind my right ear.

"Is something wrong?" That same hand landed
on my fingers which had been tapping out a nervous rhythm on my thigh. His fingers, calloused from years of playing guitar, stilled mine and there it was again, that strange feeling in my stomach. "You know you can tell me anything." His eyes studying mine, looking for an answer to my odd behavior. 'Get your shit together' I silently scolded myself.

"Wow," an earnest smile raised my lips as I gave his hand, which was still covering mine, a quick pat, "I have no idea what's wrong with me today." With a laugh I shook my head, but his face told me he wasn't buying it.

"You sure they didn't start fumigating your place before you got out?" And just like that we both chuckled and we were back to normal, but only because he chose to let it go for now.

"Yeah, maybe that's it. Thanks again for letting me crash here for a few nights. I should be out of your hair by Monday or Tuesday." He brought his hand to his chest in mock annoyance.

"You mean i have to put up with you for 3 or maybe even 4 night? What ever shall I do?"

"Oh you love it," a broad smile raised his lips, "it will be just like a high school sleep over."

"And just how many high school sleep overs did you have with grown men?" He inquired with a raised eyebrow.

"None," my voice indignant, " but this won't be any different." I teased "we can do each other's hair, paint each others nails and talk about feminine hygiene products."

"Oh shut up" his words coated in laughter as he moved to set the nearly empty bowl of popcorn on the coffee table. "I'm gonna head into the studio for a while, I've got somethings to jot down." He stood and smoothed down the front of his pants as if to brush off any invisible crumbs. "You wanna come?" He asked as he walked across the room and slipped into his heals.

"I think I'll just go grab my computer and take care of some of my writing projects." His only acknowledgement a shallow nod of his head. I watched him walk out the room and with him went the remaining tension I had been drowning in. I let my head rest in my hands for a moment, trying to clear all the clutter out of my brain. 'This is ridiculous. I don't feel that way about Prince' I told myself, 'friends, just best friends.' "Ok" I announced to the empty room as I stood up and started making my way through the maze that is Paisley Park. I passed the studio where Prince was sitting, a guitar in his lap and his head down as he studied the paper he was scribbling on. 'Friends' my new silent mantra ran through my head as I walked on.

Once I reached the second floor I made my way into the large, bright apartment and into the guest room in the back. I pulled my laptop from my bag and got comfortable on the bed. Resting my back against the white leather headboard, I let my toes sink into the soft fabric of the deep purple comforter. My eyes met the glow of the computer screen and my fingers took to the keyboard.

The sensation of the cool wall against my bare back. My hands in his hair as I watched him leave a trail of wet kisses down my abdomen. Our eyes met as his lips dropped far enough down that I could feel his humid breath on my aching core. Bare chested and on his knees, he quickly slid  his hand from my waist, down my left leg, before grabbing me behind my knee and bringing my leg up to rest over his shoulder. My heart pounded and my breath caught in an audible gasp as he slid two fingers into my heat, his passionate eyes never leaving mine.

"Is this what you want?" His husky voice rang in my ears as I traced my fingers across his stubble covered jaw line.

"Please..." My voice a whimper as his fingers found a steady rhythm.

"You have to say it." He flashed me a devious grin before running his tongue along his bottom lip.

"Lick my..." Before I could finish my words his tongue was on my clit, working in time with his fingers. My hands in his hair, holding him where I wanted him as his moans vibrated through my entire body.

"I want to hear you come." His words a command as his lips hovered just above my heat for a moment before returning and increasing his pace.

"Yes..." I was so wet I could hear his fingers working me. "Yeah...right..." He slipped in a third finger and hit just that right spot over and over, "right there!" That talented tongue moving faster, flicking my clit "Oh...yes!" My head fell back against the wall "God yes, ah...Pr...yeah...oh...Prince!"

I shot straight up in bed, breathing heavy and unable to place my surroundings. My chest was heaving and I could feel my underwear were soaked. That's when I remembered where I was. A dream, I must have fallen asleep while writing I explained to myself as I tried to calm my breathing.

"Alexa?" His voice from the other side of the door brought me back to reality and sent me into a panic.  "Are you ok? I thought I heard...something."

"Yeah I'm fine," my voice shaky as I jumped off the bed and opened the door, coming face to face with a very confused looking Prince, "I was having a nightmare." His dark eyes slipped over my body; my flushed cheeks and still heaving chest.

"Oh," his eyes came back up to mine and I had flashes of my dream in my head, "well I ordered pizza, it's down stairs if you're hungry."  His eyes never once leaving mine, like he was daring me to tell him the truth.

"Ok, I'll be there in a minute." I closed the door and as I tried to pull myself together I started to wonder what exactly it was he heard.
