In The Arms Of A Corporate Stud

Torn...

Alex stared at the woman lying in his bed, and for the first time in a long time, actually looked at her. Looked at the way her breathing made the locket on her neck to wedge between her bust, the way her arms were splayed on the other side of the bed, like she was searching for someone and finally,the way her thick black hair shimmered in the pale light streaming in from the window. He'd always loved her hair, loved bunching it up in his hands whenever he kissed her, loved watching water flow down its length when she came out of the pool,loved...Just then a cool breeze blew from the window and she stirred, unconsciously lifting the duvet that covered her ever so slightly. Immediately, his jaw clenched. If there was anything he loved more than Courtney Brook's hair, it was her legs. And he was seeing a whole lot of it right now. His brain suddenly went on hyper-drive as he recollected so many other times when those legs had been wrapped around him, her moans...he knew he was meant to do the gentlemanly thing by covering her properly but he just couldn't bring himself to. But the more he stared,the more he realized how much of a fool he was to have ever let her go, even though he'd wanted her then as much as he wanted her right now.

"Alex?" Her sleepy voice snapped him out of his fantasy. He quickly turned and cleared his throat nervously as he felt blood rush to his cheeks and something else happen at the lower part of his body.

"I uh...just wanted to check if you were comfortable. You should...um... cover yourself better, it's a chilly night."

At the mention of cover, Courtney quickly got under the duvet properly. But she had a feeling he'd already seen whatever it is he was indirectly telling her to cover. Typical Alex. But why was he looking away? If she hadn't known him, she would've sworn he was shy.

"Alex?"

"Yes?" Alex nearly gasped. Was that pathetic whine he just heard now his voice? Why was he nervous anyway? He was the Stud of Stanton for crying out loud. Why was he acting like a teenager on a first date with the love of his life? Whoa! Love of his life? Now where did that come from?! He calmed himself down and slowly turned to face her. Hopefully, she wouldn't look down.

"Lock the door behind you," Courtney did not know what was making him act so weird and she didn't care to know. She just didn't want him sneaking around her room at night. It could lead to situations she may not be able to control.

"Don't trust me?" Why on earth did he ask her that? Of course she didn't trust him. He'd dumped her for a Mexican heiress. How could she possibly trust him? As if to confirm his thoughts, Courtney narrowed her eyes at him and said in a clear, curt tone,

"I don't trust you, Alex Reeze. Now please leave my room or if you wish to sleep here, I will make use of the living room couch." He was pretty sure she was gonna do just that if he lingered on. This Courtney was so different from the insecure, dreamy-eyed one he had played around with years ago, but yet the same kind of sparks flew between them. She knew it too and that was why she was chasing him out of her room. If he accidentally touched her...and a mischievous idea popped into his head. He started walking slowly towards the bed.

"Alex? What are you doing?" Courtney tried to move away from him, but her feet were tangled in the sheets under the duvet, "Alex, don't come any closer!"

He could hear it now. That soft undertone that had driven him crazy years ago. He smiled at her, "I missed you so much Court. You really don't know how. And now, seeing you, right here. Everything is coming back...everything." By now he was already at the foot of the bed . Courtney placed her hands on his chest to shove him away, but that was a bad move, because he quickly grabbed them with one hand and pinned them above her head. She tried o struggle but he wouldn't let her. Not that she wanted him to, his body was pinned on hers and she was almost delirious with want. His scent was filling her nostrils and driving her nuts.She bit back a moan as he shifted a little on top of her.
She was about to protest again, but he chose that moment to take her lips in a soft kiss. He may be a demon at heart, but one thing Courtney knew was that Alex could be an angel in bed. A loving, sensual... she moaned softly as his tongue lashed into her mouth, tasting.

"You feel this too Courtney. Lets not fight it. Just this one time, please." This had not been his original plan, he had just wanted to tease her and remind her of what they had. But now ,he genuinely wanted her but he needed her to accept him. He didn't want to use any tricks this time.

Courtney saw the sincere look in Alex's eyes and knew that if she refused, he would stop. She looked into those blue eyes then said....
