  Alex was also in the shower, but he thought of Danielle. “Fuck!” He looked down at his stiff cock. Out of nowhere, he wondered if she would let him fuck her again. He told himself, “Maybe, if I romanced her a bit.” He was not used to that, but she was worth it. He hurriedly washed. Then as soon as he opened the door, he asked Logan, “Hey, what do girls like?”

  “Huh?” Logan pulled his jeans on. He and Marie had plans that morning. “You don’t know what girls like? You’re kidding me!”

  Alex wrapped the towel tighter around his waist. “I mean, like, as gifts or something.”

  “Oh…” Logan let out a short laugh. “…for Danielle.”

  With a sigh, Alex nodded. “I wanna keep her, man. You know how I feel about her.”

  “Yeah.” Logan exhaled loudly. “Let me call Marie. She’ll know what’ll work.”

  * * *

  Marie paced and tried to calm down. She wanted to tell Alex or Logan, but how could she break Danielle’s trust like that? Is she lying that her father beat her, not Brian? Does he have her that brainwashed? When her phone rang, she took a deep breath and let it go for the time being.

  After a long talk with Brian which stayed completely civil, Danielle ended the call and put the phone on the vanity. Not once had he asked for her whereabouts. She was confused and felt horribly guilty.

  When she finally got back in the shower, Marie knocked on the bathroom door, and then opened it. “I’m sorry I walked in on you.”

  “It’s OK,” Danielle meekly replied.

  Marie frowned. “No, it’s not. I’m sorry I made you remember some awful things. And I’m sorry I busted in on you. I knew you were modest and shy about your body. I just didn’t think first.”

  “I forgive you.” Danielle was honest. Marie had done a lot for her. “I shouldn’t have hid it from you.”

  Marie smiled. “I get it. Don’t worry.” She paused. “Do you think Alex would mind if we borrowed his car? Me and Logan want to go out for breakfast, and then go sightseeing.”

  “He’d probably be OK with it,” Danielle replied. “The keys are in my purse.”

  With a huge grin of minor deceit, Marie said, “See you later. Try and have some fun. Kiss Alex for me.” She had inside information, that Danielle just might enjoy her morning as much as the night before. She closed the door and winked at Alex. “Wait a few minutes. She’ll be daydreaming about you soon.”

  Danielle smiled widely. The mere mention of his name gave her butterflies. She continued with her hair while she thought of his naked body against hers. As soon as she had rinsed out the conditioner, she opened her eyes. There was a red rose on her shampoo bottle.

  She smiled. “How did that get there?”

  “I put it there.” Alex put his arms around her. He kissed her neck, glad he had made a silent entry. His hands rubbed her sides, slowly. “God you’re beautiful.”

  She sighed at his touch but feared Brian’s reprisal still. “Stop, Alex. We can’t do this.” Brian’s call also made her wonder if they could make it work.

  Alex kissed her shoulders. “What’s the difference now, after last night?” He ran his hands up her body and caressed her breasts. “You felt so good.” He groaned as his erection jerked against her back. “That’s what it’s supposed to be like, me loving you and you enjoying it.”

  Turned on by his body so close, Danielle closed her eyes. He eased her headache just a bit. She fought her conscience but lost. It was still cheating. She turned around in his arms. “Alex, I’m sorry. It was wrong. Somebody put something in my drink. I have such a headache.”

  He put his hands on her waist and didn’t let her words break his heart. “We’re sober now. Let me make love to you again. Please.”

  She laid her head on his chest to ease the blow. “I can’t.” Her body said yes, though. She hoped he didn’t put a hand between her legs. Then he would know she wanted him.

  “Is it still because of Brian?”

  “What if he finds out?”

  Alex held her close. “Break up with him. Then it won’t matter.”

  Danielle picked up her head and looked at him. He was a lot taller than she was. She didn’t know how she felt about him. It was something she had never known before. She wasn’t sure what it was. Lust, maybe? His presence tore at her heart. What’s the right thing to do?

  He caressed her cheek and went for broke. “I love you, Danielle. I need you to know that. Last night wasn’t a one-night stand for me.” He kissed her lips. “It was just the beginning.” His hands wove in her hair, and he tilted her face up. “Will you leave him and be with me?”

  “I don’t know what to do,” she admitted. “You know I like you.” She took a shaky breath. For some reason, she was afraid. Not of Alex but of how drawn she was to him. The feelings that had surfaced, while they were in the pool, came back to her. She cried because she never felt so… so… Could it be loved? “But last night…”

  He smiled. “Was the best night of my life.” He looked down her body and took in even her scars. “You’re so perfect.” Then he held her gaze again. “I don’t wanna let you go… Please.”

  “I just don’t know,” she responded.

  With a sigh, he let her go and stepped back a little. He felt defeated. Brian’s hold on her ran deep. He breathed deeply and tried not to let his emotions show. “I won’t push you.”

  Danielle couldn’t help but look him over. He looked so much better than Brian did. She bit her lip and hoped he didn’t see her nipples harden. She closed her eyes and tried to will away her desire for him. Relationships were not all about sex. At least that’s what she had read.

  Alex saw the troubled expression on her face. At least she’s torn, too. He picked up her bath sponge and poured soap on it. He was determined to show her what love was. What she had been missing all her life.

  She jumped when the sponge touched her belly. Her eyes opened. She stared as Alex washed her. “Stop.” Her voice betrayed that she didn’t mean it.

  “At least let me do this. I’m sorry I fucked you when we were wasted. I swear I didn’t spike your drink. I woke up with a headache, too. So whatever Dave gave you, he gave to both of us.”

  Danielle didn’t stop him. She got so little attention from Brian over the years. When he was done, he leaned down and kissed her. He was a better kisser than Brian was. A strange, lustful urge consumed her. Her body moved toward his, and her hands ran up his chest.

  Suddenly, she pulled back. “This is so wrong.” She got under the spray and rinsed off. “I’m sorry.”

  Alex stepped closer and did the same. “You’re finally letting your feelings guide you. Go with them. Please.”

  “I can’t.” Once in a towel, Danielle walked to her bed, with Alex on her heels. His discarded clothes on top of her bag brought up an image of his naked body.

  He touched her shoulder. “Can I give you a massage? To get rid of your headache.”

  Her head felt like it was in a vise. “OK, but that’s all. Right?” She put the rose he gave her on the nightstand and smiled. It was an amazingly romantic gesture. She didn’t expect that from him. Would he be that great of a boyfriend? Could Brian ever treat me that way?

  “Just a massage,” Alex replied. “I couldn’t do that to you.” Soon he sat behind her and opened her towel. “I’ll do your back, too.” He put his legs around her body and felt the apprehension. “This OK?”

  “Uh-huh.”

  Danielle was anxious for many reasons. Her torn feelings, the headache and fear of hurting Alex. When he touched her shoulders, she took a deep breath. She expected him to make it sensual, but he didn’t. He worked her muscles with precision and care. At some points, she even felt it in her toes. Her headache gradually lessened as he moved to her neck. When he started on her back, she involuntarily moaned quietly.

  “Mmm,” Alex whispered in her ear. “You did that last night, too.” After he had gone over every inch of exposed skin in front of
him, he stopped. “How’s your headache?”

  She sighed, relieved. “Much better, thanks.” She pulled the towel back on. Then, she turned around and knelt between his open legs. She felt even closer to him and wanted the feeling to continue. “Can I do you now?”

  “Anytime.” Alex smirked.

  She smiled and slapped his strong chest playfully. “Not that. I meant a massage. You said you had a headache, too.”

  He smiled at her and kissed her lips. “Only if you want to. I’ll be OK.” He hugged her and tried to will her to love him. “I don’t wanna push you into anything you don’t want. I’m nothing like him. You can say no to me anytime you want. About anything.”

  “I do want to.” She brushed her lips over his ear absently. “That felt really good.”

  He shivered and wished she would change her mind. “Yeah.”

  She used his shoulders to pull herself up. Then she knelt behind him. She began at his neck. She was surprised he was so tense. Slowly, his muscles relaxed. He let out a sigh when she moved to his shoulders. They were much worse. He groaned in pain a few times. She stood up and used as much pressure as she could to ease it.

  Alex moaned while she relieved his tension. Shocked by how talented her hands were, he imagined them on his dick again. He shut his eyes, tightly. His cock stirred again. His fist clenched when her body moved against him. She had knelt again before she began on his back. Fleeting presses of her breasts drove him up a wall.

  Danielle loved how strong his muscles felt. She enjoyed the massage much more than he did. Not able to help herself, she took a break and ran her hands down his arms. It was new to take pleasure in his pleasure. He was just so fucking hot. By the time she got down to his towel, she wanted to touch him some more. She couldn’t understand why she couldn’t resist. He had her insane with desire. She reached around and opened his towel.

  “What’re you doing?” He was the one confused then.

  She put her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. “Lay down on your stomach. I want to do the rest of you.” Her eyes scanned the front of his body and stopped at his engorged cock. Her pussy contracted. It knew what that part of his anatomy could do to her. What the hell’s wrong with me? The response in her head almost made her laugh. Shut up and enjoy his body.

  He leaned back on her shoulder and caressed her arms. “See? You do care. I love you.”

  She put a hand through his hair. It was soft and flowed through her fingers easily. “I don’t know what I feel. I just wanna touch you.”

  She moved on the bed and watched as he lay down. All of him looked incredible. She sat on his legs and started with his lower back. Then as each area loosened, she went lower. Her pussy rubbed on his skin a few times, not quite accidentally.

  “Fuuuuck,” Alex mumbled as she ground against his calf. He gripped the pillow under his head while his erection grew even more. “Oh, damn,” he growled into the pillow. She stroked the back of his knees with her fingertips. Girls didn’t usually try to find his weak spots, but she found several that morning.

  When Danielle finally finished, she lay next to him and whispered, “Turn over.”

  He grinned and flipped over, hands behind his head. Her eyes roamed his body. When they met his, he blew her a kiss. “Do your worst.” He hoped she would get so horny she rode him. He dreamed of that nightly, and of course it was his favorite masturbation fantasy.

  She knelt on the bed and watched his rigid dick twitch. Then she began to massage his thighs. They held such power and strength. No wonder he ran so fast. Their eyes met again as she let his lower leg stimulate her even more. She was about to lose control. Minutes later, she slid her hands up his body. Her hands ran up, over his abdomen, and then to his chest. Unable to resist, she leaned down and kissed his lips. She wanted him so badly, she felt like she would die without him. It was almost as intense as when they were under the influence of the drug the night before.

  Alex kissed her back while he held her face. Their kisses quickly became intense. He repressed the urge to flip them over so he could do her, but it wasn’t easy. One hand traveled down her body, slowly. She moaned into his mouth as he gently caressed her lower back. Then he grabbed her butt. He loved how nice of an ass she had; so abundant, in a good way.

  “I want you,” Danielle admitted. She shivered with need.

  He smiled at her and gazed into her glassy eyes. “I know.” He held her hips over his and shifted up, which rubbed his dick into her folds. “I want you, too.”

  She whimpered while his erection brushed her clit repeatedly. “Please…”

  “Please what?” He groaned, not sure how long he could continue the tease. At least, it was a tease for him. “What, babe?”

  She cried out and scratched his chest, shocked she came. He didn’t stop, though. She grabbed his shoulders. “God…” A gasp passed her lips. She had no idea something so simple could feel so good.

  As soon as Danielle came a second time, Alex brought his hips down and held her. “You like that?”

  “Yeah…” She was breathless.

  When she caught her breath, she looked up at his smile and grinned back at him. Brian would never do something just to give her pleasure. Alex was a better man. One that she couldn’t resist any longer. He was the one man that made her happy, horny and secure all at once. She got up and rifled through Marie’s bag. When she pulled out a condom, she held it behind her back. Then she let the towel drop, a smirk the only thing she wore.

  “What’re you doing?” Alex asked from the bed. He watched her funny expression, but couldn’t read it. She was up to something.

  Danielle’s gaze roamed his body again, and she bit her lip. He was the hottest guy she ever laid eyes on. “Nothing,” she lied. She got up on the bed and stayed on her knees for a few seconds.

  Alex sighed. “You’re killing me, you know.” He stared at her naked body, dying to touch her. He wanted to feel it under him again. His cock jumped as if it beckoned her to it.

  She leaned down and kissed him deeply. Her tongue slowly caressed his. Her free hand rested above his shoulder. He pulled her face closer. Then he thrust his tongue in further and dominated her mouth, desperate for her. She pulled away and sat on his legs again. Then she opened the condom behind her back. Doubt suddenly entered her mind. His killer smile swayed her his way. I need him.

  After she had taken a deep calming breath, she showed him the condom. Then she rolled it over his erection. “Did I do it right?” She was still anxious and unsure of herself.

  “Yeah.” His smile widened. Then he lifted her hands. “You sure you wanna do this?” He wanted her but didn’t want her to regret it.

  “I do… But—but I never did it this way before.” She blushed at her lack of experience. “I haven’t done a lot of things.”

  Alex’s breath caught when she straddled his hips. Then he watched her lift his dick and slowly sink down onto it. He moaned loudly while his fantasy came to life. “Fuck. You feel good.” She was tighter than he remembered.

  Nervously, Danielle continued to lower her hips until she had taken every inch. Then she closed her eyes. Flashes of the night before came to her. His cock felt so different than Brian’s, and it did fit just right. The other times they had sex were still somewhat sketchy. I’m sober now, and nothing is going to make me forget how he feels inside me. Her vaginal muscles clenched a bit. She looked to him, scared and unsure again.

  “We can stop.” He didn’t want to push her into something she didn’t want. “I told you. You can say no to me.”

  She stuck her bottom lip out a bit. “I’m nervous. I don’t know how to ride you the right way, but I want to.”

  “There’s no wrong way. Just lift up your hips, and then come back down.” He took her hands again. “Push on my hands while you do it if you want.”

  She took a deep breath again and did as he told her. The extraordinary feeling surprised her. “Can I go faster?”

  “Do whatever you want to
me.” He groaned as her hips hit his again. He tilted his head back. His balls already tingled. “Not… yet…” he quietly begged his body while she rode him harder. “Danielle… Oh fuck, Danielle.”

  She could see and hear his pleasure, even without the words. It made her shiver. With a smile, she pushed harder on his hands and moved quicker. Then she found if she lifted higher, it was even better. She did that several times and sighed. Her head went back. It was just incredible.

  Alex’s eyes glazed over while unbelievable ecstasy washed over him. He felt like he came without ejaculation. That had never happened to him before. He gasped again. It was much better than in his head.

  “Holy shit!” he cried out.

  Danielle clutched Alex’s hands tightly. Her body responded as well. Deep within, a tremble began. She came down on him as hard as she could without pain. With just a few more thrusts, she cried out. Her insides exploded with rapture. The feeling took over her whole body. It never felt that way with Brian. She had to stop for a few seconds.

  “Babe, don’t stop. I’m so close. Please,” he begged.

  His mouth opened as his belly tightened when she contracted around him several times. Then he quickly forced it to subside. She needed him to last. Again, that sensation flowed through him. His eyes closed while his entire body shuddered. Is that what they mean by multi-orgasmic? He didn’t actually care. He just couldn’t keep the thought at bay.

  She pushed herself to continue because she wanted him to cum as well. She leaned on him even more and went faster than she thought possible. His moans encouraged her even more. She cried out again. Inside, she tightened while her eyes rolled back. Yet, she kept up the rhythm. He moaned loudly, which triggered one of her own. It didn’t affect her when Brian enjoyed sex.

  She leaned her body forward for some reason, and it suddenly felt different. Alex obviously felt it too. She continued to move as quickly as possible. Alex’s fingers gripped her hands tighter while he pulled her upper body down somewhat. Then she cried out again. Waves of pleasure coursed throughout her entire body.
